(From Tuesday's Daily
About 5:80 o'clock yesteidsv lifter-
noon word was sent to jwlice head-
quarters that a man was killing his
wife and little boy in a hou-"; located
on Bear Creek. A hurry up response
was made by Policeman Connors and
Deputy Sheriff McCarter, who were
soon on the scene and fontid the trouble
at the home of Adam Swimunr, a
Cherokee, who wai in a drunken fren-
zy and interspering a tirade of abuse
by assaulting his wife and six year old
boy with a stick of stovewood.
Bv the time the officers hail arrived
Mrs. Swimmer had tied to the home of
a neighbor and the little boy was found
in a semi-conscious condition with i\n
ugly wound in top of his head, it being
about two inches long and large enough
lo lay two fingers in. Swimmer claimed
the boy fell and cut the gash several
days ago, but tlie appearance of fresh
blood in the wound discredited his
story.
Two charges of felonious assault were
preferred by Mrs. Swimmer yesterday
and a hearing held before County Judge
Parks. Swimmer was bound over to the
district court in $1,000, failing to give
which he was remanded to jail.

Congress Failure
As An Attraction
Washington, Dec. 1*.—Congress is
expected to adjourn Wednesday for
the holiday recess and not to resume
business until January 5.
The resolution which passed the
house probably will be brought up iu
the senate tomorrow, No objection to
the program has appeared, as it is prac-
tically certain that half a dozen big sup-
ply bills will be out of the way by
Wednesday night.
Business before both houses thus far
has not stimulated much public interest
and seats in the galleries have gone
begging. The omnibus claims bill in
• he senate has failed to attract crowds,
and the appropriation bills in the house
proved no better magnets.
Outside of the claims bill there lias
been no business before the seuate, ex-
cept the Cummins resolution to change
the rules of the seuate and house so as
to facilitate piecemeal revision of the
tariff. Indications are the resolution
will be sent to the senate rules commit-
tee before the recess.
Annual Meet of
Volunteer Firemen
Each year in January the members of
the fire department meet for an even
ing of sociability and on such annual
reunions, as the occasions may be term-
ed, they are the guests of the chief,
who provides the necessary comforts for
the inner man. January 2nd is the da'e
fixed for the next meeting and it is
looked forward to with pleasureable an
licipation bv the department
Ob the Wednesday following the an-
nnil election of officers will be held.
WE WISH ALL
A MERRY CHRISTMAS

First National BanK
Tahlequah, OKla.
Notwithstanding tin fact that the
senate flatly refused to appropriate one
penny to pay the expenses of a dignuled
inauguration of the second governor of
the great young state. Representative
Charles F Barrett, chairman of the
house inaugural committee and Repre-
sentative M. T. Rexroat, also a uiutn-
ber of the same committee, and a resid-
ent of Ardmore, the bom i of L«e Cruet;,
there will be a big inauguration The
members of the house committee were
"non plussed" when it was first learned
that the senate voted down ths appro-
priation to provide an inaugration
However, Chairman Barrett made up
his mind to carry the matter through,
although he threatened to resign from
the committee.
• The members of the house committee
said things when they found out that
the senate refused to appropriate money
to defray the expenses of an inaugura-
tion ceremony.
"We must have some money if we
are expected to provide for the inaug-
uration of Governor Cruce," said R«-
presenative Barrett. It was our intent-
ion to mail out 75.000 invitations to the
voters of the state. There are many
things that we will have to spend mon-
ey for, but if the senate will not aid the
I house in authorising the money, we
>hall get the money from public spirited
! citizens, who have some pride in their
state and the governor."
It is the intention of the committee
to have several c mpanies of the nation-
al guard here, cadets from the state
military schools and doubtless a comp-
any or two of confederate soldiers to
march in the parade.

Tie Up Business
Saturday was one of the best days j
for our city merchants in a long time |
time and the stores, especially those !
who have been advertising in the col-;
umns of the Arrow, were noticeably ^
fiiled up. Progressive merchants with
dependable merchandise are not afraid
to tell the people they have them, but
to the contrary take a pleasure in show-
ing them to prospective buyers.
An event of interest was disclose Sat
urday when a gentleman walked into
a downtown store and had three suits
of <■' thinglail esid* and went out of
t store 'o get money to j ay f< r them,
when he ru 1 on to a daily paper in
which another merchant had an adver-
tisement a ew pi ces on clothing. The
ge tit man answt^ed the ad and pur
chased ti e clothing from the man that
advertises, and the other fellow has
three suits still for sale.
Washington, D. C., Dec. 17.—Chair-
man Knapp of the interstate commerce
commission has received information
that both parties to the controversy
over wages between sixty-one railroads
operating west of Chicago and the
brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
have agreed to mediation under the
Erdman act.
This was requested by the officials of
the railroad?. Subsequently the media
tors communicated with the brother
hood, whose officials also agreed to the
mediation. The liklihood is that the
controversy may go to arbitration,
which event the two parties each will
select an
third.
arbiter and the mediator a
A strike of engineers at this time
would mean:
Thirty-two thousand trainmen leav-
ing their posts.
The tying up of about 110,150 miles
of track, or 52 per cent of the total
railroad mileage of the United States.
The loss in salaries to the trainmen
of about $111,000 per day, the present
average wage being about $1.50.
An inestimable loss to the railroads
is the loss of revenue from hundreds of
thousands of holiday travel and from
freight business.
The general paralysis of business
throughout the central west, through
crippled shipping facilities.

ion here prevails generally that the

Dorted that the fighting has again brok-
en out at Pedernales. Detatchments
