Hurrah for Co I
Company I came marching home
last Friday covered with glory,
having carried off the first prize
at Kingfisher encampment as the
best drilled company in Oklahoma
where 13 companies entered the
lists. The prize is $tso cash and
will be used to fit up their armory.
Great credit for the fine discipline
of the company is given to Second
Lieutenant Lee Watson who is
perhaps the best drill officer in
the territory, but the entire com-
pany, officers and men, by their
promptness in attending drill, have
aided in securing this fine testi-
monial.

The twelve year old son of W.
McSparrin met with a very ser-
ious accident one day last week.
He went to the hay mow in the
barn to close the outside doors
and thinking he had one of them
locked, leaned against it in order
to reach the other door and fell a
distance of ten feet fracturing the
ulna and radius bones in the
lower third of both forearms. Dr.
Medaris was at once summoned
and soon reduced the fractures
and had the little fellow resting
easy and at this writing he is
getting along nicely.—Caiwile

A Pioneer Gone
The funeral of Chas. W. Hob-
bie, whose death we mentioned in
last issue, occurred last Friday.
Services at the Congregational
church at 10 a. m. were conducted
by Rev. W. F. Harding assisted
by Rev. Arthur Edwards. The
church was filled with the friends
of the family who had gathered
to perform the last sad rites. The
casket was covered with beautiful
floral decorations. At the close
of the services the remains were
escorted to the Santa Fe depot by
members of the M. W. A. and
K. of P., of which orders Mr.
Hobbie had been a member, and
taken to Kiowa, Kas., for burial.
Chas. W. Hobbie was born Sept.
28, 1858, and died Aug. 20, 1902.
He leaves a wife and child be-
sides brothers and sisters who
have the sympathy of all in their
great loss.

Political Aspirations.
We learn through a personal
letter to a friend in Cameron that
John Doolin formerly of this
place, is breaking into politics.
He is out for nomination of Reg-
ister of Deeds, subject to demo-
cratic and populist primaries
Sept 6th, at Alva, Okla. We
have known John since childhood
and always knew that he would
break into something but hoped
it wouldn’t be politics, for he ia
too good a boy for that. At the
the same time if he has set his
head that way all we can say is
”good luck” to him. Should the
people of his county see fit to
elect him to the posi'.ionhe seeks,
they will find him entirely capa-
ble, and ever attentive to his du-
ties. Such was his record while
here.—Cameron (Mo.) Observer.
