Out of Eight Hundred Passengers
Only Twenty-Seven Are Known to
be Alive—One of the Atlantic's
Worst Disasters
LONDON: More than 700 Danish
and Norwegian emigrants bound for
New York are believed to have been
drowned In the North Atlantic on Juno
28. Out of nearly 800 persons on
board, the Danish steamer Norge,
which left Copenhagen July 22, only
twenty-seven are known to be alive,
and for the rest no hope Is held out.
When last seen the Norge was sink-
ing where she struck on the Islet of
Rockall, whose isolated peak raises
itself from a deadly Atlantic reef some
290 miles off the west coast of Scot-
land.
Early in the morning the Norge,
which was out of her course in the
heavy weather, ran onto the Rockall
reef, which in the distance looks like
a ship under full sail. The Norge
was quickly backed off, but the heavy
seas poured In through a rent in her
bows.
The emigrants who were then
awaiting breakfast below, ran on
deck. The hatchways were too nar-
row for these hundreds of persons,
and became clogged.
The Norge quickly began to g6 down
by the head. Eight boats were lowered
and into these the women and chil-
dren were hurriedly put. Six of these
boats smashed against the side of the
Norge and their helpless inmates
were caught up by the heavy seas.
Two boatloads got safely away from
the side of the sinking ship and many
of the emigrants who were left on
board, seizing lifeboats, threw them-
selves into the sea and were drowned.
Captain Gundel, so say the surviv-
ors, stood on the bridge of the doomed
vessel until It could be seen no more.
The Norge foundered suddenly and
some 600 terriefied emigrants were
thrown into the water or drawn down
with the sinking ship. Those who
could swim tried to reach the boats
but these were already too full and
their occupants beat off the drown-
ing wretches with oars.
The boats kept together for some
hours. Practically all of their occu-
pants were passengers and were not
used to handling such craft. The
boat occupied by the survivors landed
at Grimsby was a life boat.
One account says that three boats
were successfully launched, the other
two holding about ten persons each.
The lifeboat made faster progress
and feH in with the Salvia. What
became of the other boats is not yet
known.
More Norge Survivors Reach Shore
A later report from Aberdeen, Scot-
land, says: Another boat load of
seventeen survivors of the ill-fated
Danish steamer Norge, which foun-
dered off Rockall reef, 290 miles from
the Scottish mainland, on June 28,
were landed at Aberdeen by the
steam trawl Largo Bay. Six hundred
and twenty-eight persons are missing,
it is reported. The contingent now
being cared for at Aberdeen consists
of twelve passengers, the third mate
of the Norge, the quarternisater, a
steward, a lamp trimmer and one of
the crew.
The Mill Creek commercial club
has arranged for a celebration of the
founding of that town. It will be the
fourth anniversary and will be held
July 19th.
PRAYING FOR PARDON
Friends of a Man Now Servinn a Sen-
tence Believe Him Guiltiest
ALINE: Residents of Woods county
hav# petitioned the governor of Ohio
to pardon John F. uavldson, a civil
war veteran, who was convicted in
Oklahoma June 1 on a ^harge of ar-
son and sentenced to one eyar in the
penitentiary. It wa,s alleged that
Davidson, many years ago, helped to
burn a number of buildings for in-
surance money. He lived in Barber
county, Kansas, and Woods county,
Oklahoma, twenty years, coming to
the territory ten years ago. His wife
and six children live on his farm near
here.
Orie man served about twenty years
in the Ohio penitentiary for the
crime and when released attempted to
extort money from Davidson, who de-
nied that he had helped to burn the
buildings. His arrest and conviction
followed. Davidson's neighbors be-
lieve him guiltless.
Whatever a woman thinks, she al-
ways says her husband loves her.
Negroes Told to Go
GUTHRIE: "Whitecaps" visited
the dwellings of several negroes In
the town of Marshall, near here, on
the line of the Denver, Enid & Gulf
railroad, and invited them to leave im-
mediately. The negroes left with-
out a murmur, as they had been in-
formed that if they did not do so
trouble would ensue. The railroad
company, which had employed the
men, will make no attempt to force
them to return, but will fill their
places with white laborers.
Homestead Filings by Osage Tribe of
, Indians.
GUTHRIE: One of the first matters
of Importance to be investigated and
passed upon by Capt. Frank Frantz,
the Rough Rider candidate recently
appointed agent for the Osage tribe
of Indians, will be that of the allot-
ment of homestead lands to the mem-
bers of that tribe. While many of
these allotments have been taken and
approved by former agents, yet rec-
ent events endanger the validity of
these allotments and may call for a
strict investigation.
For several months prior to the sus-
pension and almost immediate resig-
nation of Indian Agent Mitscher, by
sanction of the interior department,
the Osages were allowed the privi-
lege of filing on 160 acres of land
each, the same to be known as a
"homestead filing." Thus in a peace-
able and facilitating manner the In-
dians were themselves accepting the
allotments and doing for themselves
the work being done for the Indian
Territory tribes by the Dawes coin-
mission.
In order to encourage the Indians
in making these homestead filings
and thus further the allotment idea
among them, it was the policy to al-
low the homesteaders to enter into
contracts or leases with white men
and in many cases with members of
the Osage tribe, to cultivate and Im-
prove the lands filed upon.
A large number of homestead fil-
ings were made on lands within the
regularly surveyed pastures on the
reservation; a great many of these
filings were leased—Informally, of
course—for agricultural purposes,
and when the original pastures were
advertised for lease this year the
acreage represented in the actual
homestead filings was deducted from
the gross area of the several inclo-
sures. Leases were made on the re-
maining acreage in each pasture and
forwarded to he interior department
for approval. In approving the con-
tracts the acting secretary of the in-
terior gave to each lessee the option
of including in his lease the area em-
braced in the so-called homesteads
not actually occupied as a home per-
sonally by an Indian, to be used by
the lessee and paid for at the same
rental paid for the entire pasture.
Until the announcement of the new
leases Is made it would be difficult
to surmise lust what portion of the
lessees of pastures will want to take
advantage of the option offered to
them; in fact, much of the acreage
included in the homestead tilings has
been broken and thus rendered use-
less for grazing purposes, while under
the rules of the department and the
terms of the pasture leases the land
can not be used for other than graz-
ing purposes. Much of the land is
still in grass and can be used for
grazing purposes if the lessees want
It.
As there are large interests at
stake in this proposition, including
many Indian citizens of Pawhuska
and other members of the tribe—all
who have selected homesteads—much
anxiety is being felt as to the final
outcome of the department's action
relative to the homesteaded land.
Special Agent Conser, who has been
in charge pending the appointment ol
a successor to Mitscher, has com-
menced the investigation of the mat-
ter for the interior department, ac-
quainting himself with the actual
conditions. It is feared among the
influential and progressive tribesmen
that the department's action will in-
terfere with the final allotting of
lands and probably delay it for years,
as the full-blood element and many
of the mixed-breeds become rebel-
lious and ugly when restrictetd too
much by the department; on the oth-
er hand, if left alone, the allotting of
the lands would be accomplished
without any trouble whatever.

tion of Comanche county is $1,018,887,
MAY BE A GOOD CAPTURE
Tattoo Marks Lead Officials to Be-
lieve Prisoner Is an Express Robber
OKLAHOMA CITY: Detective
Tod Warden made what is regarded
as a very important arrest in the ap-
prehension of one Tony Scarbrough.
The man was arrested on suspicion
of having been concerned in the hold
up and robbery of William Dietrick,
which occurred in the Santa Fe yards
recently. Officer Warden arrested the
man on a charge of vagrancy.
The Frisco Railway company and
the Wells-Fargo Express company be-
came interested in the case and made
special inquiry concerning certain
tattoo marks on one of the prisoner's
arms. Upon bearing his arm there
was exhibited in tattoo characters the
letters "T. W."
This seemed satisfactory to the
railway and express people, and in
less than twenty minutes the wires
were busy conveying to company
headquarters news of the arrest, and
it is expected that special officers will
reach here to investigate the man
Scarbrough. who is believed to be
Tony Ward, a noted express robber.
Nine Negroes Captured
MUSKOGEE: Seven deputy mar-
shalls made a drag at Talahasee Mis-
sion, a few miles northeast of here,
and landed nine negroes in the Unit-
ed States jail at this place. These
negroes are charged with rocking pas-
senger trains and rioting at the lit-
tle towns and settlements around
Muskogee. In making the capture a
battle was fought, in which many
shots were fired, and one negro was
brought in wounded, and several got
away.
A CAPITAL FIGHT
CITIZENS OF MUSKOGEE START
THE BALL GOING
TO PROTECT MINORS
OFFERS $1,000,000 BUILDING AS BONUS
To Make a Bid for New Seat of Gov-
ernment—A Magnificent Capitol
Building, to be Constructed of
Tishomingo Granite, Is Offered
MUSKOGEE: Politicians of the
northern part of the territory were
startled when the business men of
Muskogee jumped Into the fight for
the location of a state capitol building
with the proposition to erect here a
state building to cost a million dollars,
free of cost to the proposed new state,
provided this city is designated as the
seat of governmet. This is on the
theory that statehood, either with or
without Oklahoma, is coming soon.
There had been a tacit agreement
among politicians that Muskogee did
not want the capital and would not
make a fight for It. Recently there
was a meeting of some of the heaviest
property owners in this city, with the
result as O' stated.
The Phoenix, under date of June
29th, contains ar. illustration of the
proposed building, and the following
article relative thereto:
"The undersigned citizens of Mus-
kogee, Indian Territory, are in charge
of plans to secure the capital of the
new state, and a part of the plan is
to offer a fine capitol building free,
under such reasonable concessions as
will certainly meet with the unani-
mous approval of the people through-
out the new state. This building is
to be built of Tishomnigo granite and
will cost $1,000,000. Muskogee is now
the leading city of the new state and
is amply able to back this contract."
(Signed by six leading citizens.)
The above is the result of a capital
conference recently held in Muskogee
and speaks for itself. At the proper
time a proposition will be made to
secure the location of the state capi-
tal in this city, and in the interval a
systematic plan of campaign will be
carried out.
TO PAY INTRUDERS
Indian Agent to Investigate Improve-
ments in the Cherokee Nation
MUSKOGEE: Indian Agent Shoen-
felt has been instructed by the inter-
ior department to investigate the
situation in the Cherokee nation rela-
tive to improvements made by intrud-
ers. By act of congress passed in
1895, the Cherokee nation was direct-
ed to set apart $68,645.56, with which
to pay for these improvements. This
act was subsequently ratified by the
tribal council and a board of apprais-
ers was appointed to enroll those who
were entitled to a part of the appro-
priation. The board's report includ-
ed ninety-one names, and in Novem-
ber, 1895, the payment was begun. Of
those included in the report forty-
nine accepted their awards, the total
of whjch amounted to $39,541.90.
There were, however, forty-two who
refused to accept the amount offered
them, and thus $29,103.46 remained
undisbursed.
The matter thus dragged along until
the passage of the Indian appropri-
ation act by the last congress, when
authority to settle all debts of the
Cherokee nation was given the secre-
tary of the interior. Under the first
act the payment could be made only
out of the tribal funds appropriated
for that specific purpose. Now, how-
ever, the department holds that it
may use any fund to the credit of the
tribe in payment or any debt what-
soever against the nation. It is prbo-
able that the payment will be finished
as soon as the investigation can be
made.
TO SURVEY SULPHUR
Dawes Commission Appoints Corps to
Survey New Townsite
MUSKOGEE: The Dawes commis-
sion has sent a corps of engineers and
surveyors to Sulphur to survey and
lay out a new townsite. J. G. Joyce
is chief of the engineering corps, and
John F. Fisher has charge of the sur-
veyors. The work will require about
two months.
The town of Sulphur will lie on both
the north and the south sides of the
sulphur springs government reserva-
tion. The town has never been sur-
veyed or platted, by reason of the
fact that when the commission, about
year ago, began this work, it was
ordered stopped by Secretary Hitch-
cock of the interior department in or-
der that the reservation might be en-
larged.

For Disbursing Townsite Fund
SOUTH MCALESTER: The Indian
fgent, Mr. Shoenfelt, has notified
Governor McCurtain that disburse-
ments of townsite funds in the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw nations will be
fnade at the following towns at dates
to be hereafter announced: Choctaw
nation, South McAlester, Atoka, Du-
rant, Hugo, Boswell, Garvin, Smith-
ville, Tuskahoma, Wister, Red Oak.
Kinto and Oak Lodge. Chickasaw na-
tion: Ryan, Marietta, Ardmore, Paul's
Valley, Lindsay. Stonewall, Tisho-
mingo and Colbert. ;
Judge Clayton Ordered to Appoint
Guardians for 200 Minora
SOUTH MCALESTER: J. George
Wright, United States Indian Inspec-
tor, has submitted the names of
more than 2lM) minors who have allot-
ments on pine lands In the Choctaw
nation to Judge Clayton, asking that
the court appoint guardians for them
at once. The order is mandatory and
notice will be served upon the minors
that if they do not choose guardians
bench warrants will bo Issued and
guardians will be appointed by the
court. The law in Indian Territory Is
that the natural guardian of a child
cannot act as a g..«rdian until legally
appointed by the ourt. In many
instances the parents of full blood
Indians are not comeptent to act as
guardians, in which event the court
will have to appoint some one who Is
competent.
This step is taken to protect the In-
terests of the minor Indian children
who are not capable of looking after
their own Interests.
Persons have been cutting timber
on minors' allotments without .author-
ity. Under the federal statute the un-
authorized cutting of timber on a mi-
nor's allotment is a violation of law
which the department and the federal
courts intend to prosecute to the full-
est extent.

TO ENLARGE VINITA
Present Boundaries of the Town Too
Small for the Rapid Growth
MUSKOGEE; The Dawes commis-
sion has been asked to remove the re-
strictions upon fifty acres of land al-
lotted to Mrs. D. M. Marrs of Vinita
(So that the townsite may be enlarged
to that extent. Mrs. Marrs was the
first Cherokee citizen to apply to have
the restrictions upon the alienation of
property for townsite purposes re-
moved. She is the wife of the edi-
tor of the Vinita Chieftain, and is also
a member of the Gunther family, one
of the most widely known Cherokee
families living.
The present townsite of Vinita in-
cludes 900 acres. It is the largest
town in the Cherokee nation, and its
growth as been so rapid recently that
it is intended to extend the limits i<?
every direction.
As Successor to Pentecost
GUTHRIE: Governor Ferguson
lias named D. J. Moore of Jewell to
succeed H. W. Pentecost as assistant
bank commissioner for Oklahoma, and
he will enter upon his duties at once.
Moore is an old soldier, and has been
connected with banks in Kansas ant)
Oklahoma.
PATENTS TO ALLOTMENTS
Held Because There is No Provisions
for Signatures
MUSKOGEE: Filed in the vaults
of the Dawes commission are patents
to 7,000 allotments in the Choctaw
and Chickasha nations, which the
commission cannot deliver to the
chiefs of those nations for signature,
because the chiefs have not desig-
nated the place to which they are to
be sent for signature. Neither has the
interior department designated a
place.
This is the outgrowth of the fight,
between the governors of the two na-
tions and the secretary of the inter-
ior, the former denying the right of
the department to supervise their
deeds. The chiefs claim that they
are given sole jurisdiction in the mat-
ter by the Atoka agreeement, and re-
sent the order of the department that
the secretary of the interior must ap-
prove the deeds after they are signed
by the chiefs. The commission has
asked the chiefs to designate the
place where the deeds are to be de>
livered to them.
Will Camp at El Reno
GUTHRIE: Governor Ferguson Is
In receipt of correspondence from the
war department at Washington which
contains the information that the
Oklahoma national guard will this
year be allowed to hold its annual
encampment on the military reserva-
J tlon at El Reno, and thus be enabled
J to make use of the equipment and
conveniences at Fort Keno.
Most people get l:ie spring out of
their walk during July and August.
FAVORS PARKER
DEMOCRATS AT ST. LOUIS TURN"
ING TO THE NEW YORK MAN
TALK OF GORMAN, CRAY OR CLEVELANO
Many Combinations Being Formed to
Down the New York Judge, but is
Believed His Chances are Good for
Securing the Nomination
ST. LOUIS: Parker on the second
ballot, perhaps on the first. That is
the claim of the men who are in charge
of the political affairs of the New York
candidate. Parker opponents have tried
to perfect a program which would pro-
long the balloting and afford an oppor-
tunity to name another candidate, but
apparently they have not succeeded.
Many combinations have been sug-
gested, but so far they they seem to
have proven incapable of being as-
sembled into a shape sufficiently sub-
stantial to show the independent and
uninstructed delegates how another
candidate can be named. Men who
are supposed to hold the balance of
power have asked the Parker oppon-
ents to say what would be done after
Parker has been put out of the race,
they say they have received no satis-
factory answer.
Gorman, Gray and Cleveland have
been suggested, but no one is prepared
to give assurances that either could
receive the nomination. The men-
tion of Cleveland's name has a tend-
ency in some quarters to solidify the
Parker strength for many delegates
say they do not want to take even the
slightest chance of allowing Cleveland
a fourth nomination.
While there is a very friendly feel-
ing for Gorman among the southern
delegates, including those who are un-
der instructions or bound by the unit
rule to vote for Parker, yet the pre-
dominant expression from this ele-
ment Is that the effort now making
in behalf of the Maryland senator is
too late. They also point to the fact
that when delegates were being
chosen Gorman gave no sign that he
desired the nomination. It is too
much to expect, they say, that dele^
gates who were chosen as Parker men,
whether under instructions or not,
will desert him now or as long as
there is a possibility of securing his
nomination.
The opposition to Judge Parker in
its effort to tighten the lines and
make sure of holding the delegations
now counted as opposed to him have
brought out two new candidates in
the persons of former Governor Patti-
son of Pennsylvania and General
Miles. The opposition leaders appre-
ciate to the utmost the difficulty of

JAIL DELIVERY FOILED
Nitric Acid Sent to Prisoner in Bucket
of Syrup
ANADARKO: Riley Simmons,
under arrest for attempting to assist
in a Jail break, was given a prelimin-
ary hearing before Justice Stark-
weather and placed under $750 bond
to answer to the grand jury.
One June 22 Simmons bought a
bucket of syrup and other edibles at
a grocery store and hired J. M. Lam-
born to take the purchases to the
county jail and deliver them to Henry
Brooks, a noted desperado, who has
served four terms in the penitentiary
and is now being he-,t on a charge of
horsestealing. Deputies Hoag and
Bourland examined the syrup and
found a four-ounce bottle of nitri?
acid.
