RED EAGLE,
THE OSAGE
Did Not Understand Tom Knight's
English, but Cave Him Deer's
Tall Instead of Meat.

"fctsSrs.. Charles Clark, Fred Keel v,
Tym" Knight, Charles Tavrien, Wallace
tBuford, W. A. Mitchell, Ilarry Crafr,
formed a hunting party that returned
##Bterc(ay from the Osage reservation
TiiVparty killed considerable time and
a few quail. Knight wandered away
■from the party and rnn against Henry
Red Eagle, a fullblood Osage, who huu
just killed a deer, according to the
story told and Knight got busy at once.
In his most eloquent language Knight
tried to get Red Eagle to give him :*
piece of the venison *o take back to
camp, but as the latter could not un-
derstand English, or pretended that
he could not, the argument was warm
for a time. Red Eagle expostulated
in Osage and Knight in English until
the camping party, a half mile away,
started to the scene. Knight is a
Cherokee citizen and tried a few words
of Cherokee on his Eaglesliip but to no
avail. Finally knight, by the sign lang
uage, managed to impress on the Osage
bis wants when the latter pulled his
knife, cut the tail from the fallen
buck and threw it to Knight. The lat-
ter returned to camp and tried to tell
about killing a deer but the story
had reached camp before him and he
was threatened with a ducking in tho
creek if he did not confess and he
did so.

•Tudge A. F. Vandeventer, represen
tative elect from Washington county,
has a sclicme for floating the $75,00 )
in school bonds that Is an apparent
solution to the question of disposing
of the paper.
The constitution provides that tho
$5,000,000 in possession of the star"
to be devoted to school purposes c in
be loaned out under authority created
by an act of the legislature, and it is
the idea of Mr. Vandeventer that th-.1
bonds be sold to the state, being the
best of security, and thus keep the
money at home, instead of pending it
to New York and sending the interest
away from home. The idea of Mr.
Vandeventer is to keep the money at
home and the purchase of the bonds !.;■
the state, under an act of the legisla-
ture, would be a loi)g step in the right
direction.

PASSING OF
A LANDMARK
t
The Government Will Destroy the
Old Barracks Building at
Fort Gibson.
SHELTEREDMANY MEN
Who Were Prominent in Civil War
Both in the Union and Confeder-
ate Armies.
Fort Gibson, I. T., Nov. 7.—Begin-
ning early next week the historic old
barracks of this city will be demol-
ished and with them will pass away a
set of buildings rich in memory of
great men.
The barracks crowns the hill that
overlooks the Grand river and may be
sen many miles in almost any direc
tion. The most beantiful view, how-
ever, is from the west looking over
the broad green bottom lands of the
Arkansas river. It was in these bar
racks that almost every man who af
terwrds became great in the history of
the civil wr lived. Stanley, Jefferson
Davis, President Taylor and a host
of soldiers lived there at one time or
another.
OIL NOTES.
Gunsburg, Foreman! & Iiovell arc
drilling a test well in 19-27-16.
Burdette II. Moss is home from Okla
homa City where he was purchasing a
stock of holiday goods for the Star
Drug company. The report that he is
making Oklahoma City his headquart-
ers is entirely false.
W. C. T. V. Notes.
An enthusiastic meting of the W. C
T. U. was held at the Presbyterian
church, corner of Fifth street T and
Dewey avenue, yesterday afternoon.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by the president, Mrs. H. M. Preston.
Mrs. E. L. Kraeer led in appropriate
musical selections.
Existing and prospective conditions
of the liquor traffic i - the Indian Ter
ritory in general and in Bartlesville
in particular were discussed and a com-
mittee appointed to wait upon the may-
or asking for a strict enforcement ot
law in this city.
Twelve names were added to the
membership roll.
Regular meetings the first and third
Wednesday of each month.
The Sagamore Oil company's third
well on the Eliza Tilden in 21-26-1.1.
southeast of this city, made 135 bar-
rels the first twenty-four hours.
Ten Thousand Cases.
It is said Judge 'William
K. Hoyt, United States commi •
sioner, will turn over to th?
state officials records aud th.'
files of 10,801 cases- Besides
these cases there are thousands
of unsntisfied judgments. What
to do about the latter is a que*
tion that is bothering Mr. How.
Summoned to Vinita.
All the deputy United States mar-
shals for Indian Territory have been
summoned to Vinita where their ao
counts will be checked over and those
not to ke continued in office will be
given their discharge papers. Merrs.
George Williams and Fred Heeler, oi
this city, will be among the list, btii
the date of departure has not been set.
While the time in which to secure
the fifty thousand dollars bonus re-
quired to build the St. Louis, Bart Ies
ville and Pacific railway has practic-
ally expired, yet, that fact should not
prevent another surpreme effort to Ian 1
the prize. The advantages of an east
and west road, its shops, division head-
quarters and general offices are so ap-
parent that the opportunity should not
be lost.
Noble and heroic work has 1* .-u do*.?
by the Commercial club and Bartlev
ville's progressive business .ur.en, an !
their efforts certainly call for com
mendation upon the part of all wli
have the interest of the city at hear.
But the darkest cloud has often
silver lining; and when the da.
breaks in the east, the sun with its
rays of warmth carries a cheerful mes-
sage to the coldest hearts.
While the oportunity to secure tW
shops and division headquarters hsix
been lost, and perhaps the railroal,
too, yet there is the barest chanr.
that some of the townB that hsv« of-
fered a bonus, might not be ready with
the cash, and Bartdesville by a hair's
breadth would prove the winner; tk-J
indications for such a contingency,
however, are very remote. President
Overlees and the directors could not
be expected to grant farther extensions,
of time as has been done in several in-
stances in the past.
Jack & Co., No. 6 on the Mary Sfcr.ir'*
allotment in 22-27-13, started ofT ai
50 barrels after the sho-t.
