Mr. E. E. Graves rented buggy
and two horses to a brand new
bridegroom last Sunday, who gave
his name as Taylor, and said he
was from Lehigh, Choctaw nation.
He was to return that night, but
he probably forgot about tliaf part
as lie is still missing and so is the
outfit. Here is the notice Mi.

hands high, 7 or S years old. OfT
horse is branded Jll 1- oil left hip,

with side springs, and recently
painted with patent paint. Buggy

double pointed at the ends. Bridles
and collars comparatively new.
When taken had white whip and
lap robe in buggy.
The man is rather dark,has dark
hair, grey or blue eyes, dark
mustache Which appeared to have
been dyed, is about 5 feet 8 or 9
inches high, probably weigh 140
pounds and appeared to be 28 or
30 years of age. The woman who
accompanied him was a blonde,
with bad eyes and a very bad
countenance, rather small, weigh
about llOpounds. When they left
liereshe had on a red skirt with
white waist. Said they had been
married but a few days. Gives

A NEW LAW FUtM.
In this issue appears the law
card of Bennie and Patchell, of
Pauls Valley. Mr. Albert Itennie,
the senior member of the firm* is a
gentleman of superior legal ability
and has an extensive acquaitarice
and family connection among the
most influential people of the Ter-
ritory^ ' He was formerly U, S.
.Commissioner at Purcell, but for
the past two years has resided at
Ardmore^, where, in connection
with John A. McLurej he has built
up a line law business. Mr. Ben-
nie will reside at Pauls Valley,' but
will still retain his connection with
the law firm of Benitie & McLure
at Aidmore,
Until forming his partnership
with Mr. P.ennie, Mr,' Patchell
practiced his profession in Ard-
more from the establishing of the
court there in 1890. He tame to
Ardmore from Columbus, Ohio,
having there recently graduated
at the Ohio State University locat-
ed at that place, He is a Vigor-
ous aud active young man, orf fine
literary and legal scholarship, and
is sure to win a high rank in his
chosen profession.
We predict foi this firm a fair
share oi' the law business to be
transacted in the Pauls Valley
court.

The Cottage Hotel is now under

To oitr newspaper friends all
over the Territory, will say that
we can do anything in the stereo-
typing line. Try us once.
stronger within our gates without the
slightest provocation, we would have
indignantly reseutud it with the moat
emphatic denial.
Tuesday morning, to our utter disgust
and shame the unwelcome tidings
came to our ears that a traveling street
auctioneer, who had tooth powder and
other us honest novelties to sell, had
had quite a number of ancient eggs
hurled at him by a cowardly mob who
hid themselves in the darkness. The
eggs dill not strike the auctioneer (or
fakir as the mob called him), but In
stead struck three or four of our citi-
zens and indeed they were a sight, to
behold. The infuriated man dis-
mounted from his wagon and in \cr,\
emphatic language abused the guilty
gang aud proponed to whip them, hut
of course they did not have1 the courage
to fight even a lame hound.
Our first thought when we heard the
disgraceful news, was that Davis had
some small boys that are pretty gay,
bHt we did not think any of them
would be guilty of such conduct as
that. Who can imagine our surprise
and amazement when wo heard that
the small boy had nothiug to do with
it. As to who did it everyone can draw
his own inference, but we afe here to
say that the parties who did, disgraced
themselves in the eyes of ninif tenths
of the law-abiding people of this com-
munity. We have failed to find the
mac who defends such fiendish con-
duct. and while the town is disgraced
by this occurance, it is some satisfac-
tion to know and to publish to the
world that onr people almost unani-
mously condemn the foul deed in terms
too emphatic to print: Just think of
the state of refinement that will
prompt a person who claims to be a
human to the extreme of joining a mob
to secret himself in the dark and throw
rotten eggs at a man against whom ho
doeliTiot protend to have a grievance,
with the chances decidedly in favor ol
striking his fellow townsman. That
the people in general disapproved this
villiftnous conduct was shown by the
fact that they insisted that he stay
another night, and they were there in
large numbers, the hoodlums were
scarce and there were no eggs in the
air notwithstanding certain parties
said their would be. The people gave
him a liberal patronage and every one
got his money's value. The mdn was
financially stranded and many patron-
ized him through sympathy.
We will say further that but for his
financial embarrasment, he would have
had some Davisites visiting Ardmore
before now, which should have been
doile by all means.
Davis is putting on metripolitan airs
and imitating Ardmore, That burg
did the same dirty (leed, and one
of their popular rags came out and en-
dorse! the action of the mob. We
must blush once for the profession to
think it could be so degraded. We do
not think the experiment will he re
peated soon.
Hotel, as it is the oldest hotel in
the place, and 1 shall endeavor to
keep it as a first-clasi ?! a day
house. I cordially invite the
public to give ire a call.

We ate expecting every day
that horse shoes will take a rise

enough out of the picnic to stkrt a

did not lose any themselves.

Judge Hoi mail, of Gainesville
one of the stockoolders in the new
hotel, got off the train here yes-
terday and was conveyed to the
Springs by Ed. Graves, where he
wiil camp for several weeks for
prosperity; that there is a demand
for something else beside gold,
that money is being invested and
therefore circulated. Don't com
plain at the advance in prices foi
it must come before we can have
better times.
The band boys are going to buy
uniforms soon and will canvass
the town to see how much the
citizens will donate. We are of
the opinion that after the credit-
able exhibition they made today
of their achievements with only
three months practice the people
will feel a patriotic pride which
will prompt them to contribute
quite liberally. It will require
only about 8110 and the boys dp
not expect the people to pay it-
all, but will themselves put in.
A well managed band is a credit
to any town, and especially is thi?
true.in our case after a very short
time. I V,'1 trust the boys wilPget
the encouragement they merit.
