ITINERARY
Eighteen Oklahoma Towns and One
Kansas Town to be Scene
of Payments
Very shortly after the receipt of the by a large extra force of police who
al)ove telegram the word was passod ( w'" hs 011 duty.
out ami became generally known in the ■
down town district, The town at once - \/UIilTrr
assumed new life and every business r A Y [ | | [\ I
be^an making preparations for the1
greatest event that has taken place in
many a year.
An effort was made last week by the
Ketoowah organization to enjoin the
paynlent, but the court at Washington
denied the injunction and the payment
will proceed.
Guian Miller having completed the 1
payment in Georgia returned to Wash-
ington. D. C., last Wednesday and in
a conversation with Hon. W. W. Hast-
ings, who is representing the Cherokee
Nation in the courts at Washington,
irave out the information contained in
the above telegram.
To a few people in the city, including
the Arrow, it has been known for a
number of days that the payment
would be about the time mentioned but
owing to the fact that this event will
probably attract man)? fakers it was
thought best to keep quiet until near
the time of commencement.
The news of the payment will be
gladly received by most of the people
of the country, as nearly everyone is
entitled to a share in it.
Merchants are expecting and making
preparations for a large trade while the
hotels and restaurants are putting forth
every effort to comfortably accomodate
those who will come from ontside the
city.
The largest train load of people that
the morning train has ever brought, ar-
rived this morning and caused consid-
erable comment as it is presumed many
came with a scheme expecting to reap
a harvest during the progress of the
payment, but the city council lias beeu
awake to the necessities of preventing
fakers from operating and have pre
pared and passed ordinances especially
adapted for a cute of this evil and if
they start operations within the city's
limits they will be properly dealt with
The following telegram from Sena-
ator Owens was received at 7:40 last
evening :
Washington, D. C., Jane 10, 1N10.
Arrow, Tahlequah, Okla.
Below I give the tentative itinerary
of Mr. Guion Miller who will make the
Eastern Cherokee payments which will
begin on the Twenty-second of Jane,
Nineteen Hundred and Ten, at Tahle-
quah, then Fort Gibson, Sallisaw, Stil-
well, Westville, Grove, Afton, Vinita,
Pryor, Chelsea, Claremore, Nowata.
Coffeyville, Kansas Bartlesville. Col-
linsville, Tulsa, Poroin, Muskogee.
All the odds and ends will be distrib-
uted from Muskogee.

One Voter Interviewed
"No sah, Ize not voted yet. I cloan
know 'zactly how I'll vote yet, but I'll
shore vote agin tnovin' our capital tuh

a reporter got to-day when he asked a
well known negro if he had voted.
"Let me tell you. Henry. You yote
for Cleveland for governor," said a by-
stander. "Yon know Cleveland, don't-
you Grover Cleveland?"
"Yes, sah, I knows biiu, an' I 'sp<!ct

Des Moines. Iowa, June 10.—The
Iowa supreme court today handed down
an opinion affirming the lower court in
sentencing John Junkin to be hanged
■Inly 20 in the penitentiary yards at

girl, with a hnge stone, as she was re
turning to her home in Ottmnwa from
choir practice one night in the winter
of 1908.

"He toileth not, neither doth he spin,"

One day this week he walked out of
the capital square up to a farmers
wagon anil started in to eat a sack of
flour when he wjs driven away. He
has visited nearly every garden within
four blocks of the capitol square and
assiiniliated the corn cron; devastated
the string beau and pea patch and
trampled the tomato plants into the
mire. He is a promoter of profanity
and a destroyer of souls; he is a quad-
ruped endowed with human intelli-
gence stimulated by the spirit of
the devil. He is old and has earned
his play spell: he does not realize that
he is a nuisance; he does not know
that if the parties owning the gardens
itemized their losses and sent them into
headquarters the amount totalized
would mean enough to furnish a velvet-
lined stall, money to purchase enough
goldeu corn and silver oats to last him
a lifetime. No indeed; he does not
realize that he is doing wrong, but the
owners of the garden patches realize
that its a "horse" on 'em and are think-
ing of calling out the tire department
to extinguish the fire of iudignation
that is burning in their billowy, palpi-
tating bosoms.

NOT HUNTING
SKUNKS
Editor Arrow;—I just read in the Sun
a scurrilous attack made upon ine by
editor He-Haws, and I note that he
does not deny the charges made by Kel-
luui and therefore admits them.
He presents no argument on any
proposition. So there is nothing to an -
swer but abuse.
If one fights a skunk bare handed
and wins, or even kills the skunk the
stink lingers. Iain not hunting skunks,
but bigger game. E. M. Landrum.

MURDERED
BY ROBBERS
Elilabeth Schultz, a wealthy widow,
aged 74, was murdered at her home
in Leavenworth, Kansas, yesterday by
robbers. After ransacking the house
the robbers set it on fire. The woman's
body was badly burned. There is no
clue to the murderers.

preme notch of intelligence and moral
rectitude."
Being aware of that fact the Arrow
knocked him off his rhetorical perch
and nsked him for some real news.
"You can say," said Mr. Banders,
"that the heaviest hail fell Thursday at
Hulbert and vicinity that has fallen in
years. The hail was general, but in
spots, or rather streaks, it was terrific.
North of Hulbert two miles there is a
streak several hundred yards wide
where the hailstones actually stripped
the foliage from the trees, leaving them
almost as barren of leaves as they were
in December."
"You can imagine the size of the
hailstones," continued the gentleman,
"when I tell you, in all sincerity, that
birds were killed, and at Mr. Joe
Moen's place hailetones fell as large as
an ordinary man's fist. He told me
that he had a valuable imported roos-
ter killed. He was standing at the
window watching the storm when he
saw the fowl running to shelter. Sud-
denly it flattend out on the ground with
wings outstretched, dead. An examin-
ation showed that a hailstone had
struck it in the back with above re-
sults."
MURDER AND
_ SUICIDE
After Killing Alleged
Home Wrecker, Kills
Himself
Muskogee, Okla.. June J. M. Hoff
man, an old time citizen and pioneer
hotel man of this city, aud Henry Mai-
comb Hunter, a young man about town,
are dead as a result of a double tragedy
that occurred in the Cottage hotel, on
North Second street last night, when
Hoffman in a jealous rage, shot Hunter
four times, shot his wife, Ella Hoffman,
in the arm. aud then walking outside
on the porch turned the pistol to his
own head and blew out his brains. ,
The tragedy occurred about half past
eight last night, following a day of
brooding on the pait of Hoffman. Yes-
terday morning Hoffman went to Judge
King of the district court aud asked if
he might visit his children. Judge
King told him he might see the chil-
dren, but to be careful and not raise
any disturbance.
Last night he walked to the Cottage
hotel, and going to the room of his wife
stood iu the doorway with a revolver
iu his hand. Malcouib Hunter was ly-
ing on the bed in an adjoining room,
and the door was open between Mrs.
Hoffman's room aud Hunter's. It is
said Hunter was partially disrobed and
lying on the bed resting, Mrs. Hoff-
man saw her jealous husband and
shrieked to warn Hunter, according to
the statement of police officers who
made an investigation following the
tragedy. Then Mrs. Hoffman gathered
her two children, and Hoffman ad
vanced toward her, and grabbing her
about the waiat, flung her away from
hiui. By that time Hunter had gotten
up from the bed and Hoffman began
firing at hiiu. Four shots took effect,
in the right side of Hnnter's body and
one shot struck Mrs. Hoffman in the
fleshy part of the arm. Hunter ran
down stairs and dropped on the kitchen
floor Mrs. Hoffman followed him
with the two small children. Then
Hoffman ran out (fn the porch and de-
liberately pointed the gun to his own
head and fired.
Hunter was taken tQ the Baptist bos-
mortally wounded and died at mid-
night.
Hoffmau was married to his present
wife about eight years ago. She was
young and beautiful and he was very
jealous of her. They became estranged
about a year ago and since that time
Hoffman has been drinking and brood
ing over his domestic troubles.
THEY ALL
LIKE IT
Like what? The Daily Arrow.
That was demonstrated today when
Kim Hill, our new circulation manager,
and an assistant made the rounds em-
braced Dy our list and informed each
of the change made in subscription ard
that the delivery system would be im-
proved uutil it was as perfect as per-
sonal attention can make it.
Not one subscriber ordered the pa-
per stopped and several new names
were added to the list, which is proof
sufficient that they do "like it," and our
intentions are to make it so interesting
that they will not only like it, but will
like it a plenty.

Hon J. C. Woodson, Tahlequah, Okla.
My dear Mr. Woodson:—I have been
informed that the Cruce supporters
have been circulating a report iu your
county to the effect that I am opposed
to the grandfather clause. Nothing
could be further from the truth. That
provision was contained in the original
constitution written, and was eliwi
nated because President Roosevelt
threatened to disprove that instrument.
I stand for a white man's government
and the elimination of the vicious aud
ignorant negro in Oklahoma politics.
The Daily Oklahonian of May li.j, 1910,
under a Guthrie date line, published
this deliberate and willful libel with a
studied intent to deceive the democratic
voters of this state relative to mv posi-
tion upon this subject. Please correct
this falsehood. Sincerely yours,
