The frost of last Friday night
did great damage to the wheat crop
of Washita county. The recent
rains had placed the wheat beyonu
danger of a failure from drouth in
most parts of the county, but .he
frost caught it right in bloom, and
has completely ruined it. Thus
Washita county must take her
place among the counties of Old
Oklahoma in the way of a wheat
failure, but not from the same
cause. The eastern part of the
territory's failure was caused by
extremw drouth, our wheat was
killed by frost. No difference in
remits but a great deal in the
cause.

Under sheriff vV. W. Glover re-

Judge Burford to deal with, his
court now being in session, over
there.—Arapahoe Argus.
Well, well, young fellow, if you
expect to secure a reputation for
journalistic truth and veracity,
you will have to do better than
that.
The clerk of the court informs us
thst there were no charges against
George East, and no warrants for
his arrtst. but that Glover had
subpena to serve which he failed
to do.
The fact i> Glover go* filled up
with "Oh, be joy full," and wasn't
able to serve anything or any body,
except the devil, and him he serv
ed most devotedlv. He was al-
lowed by the proprietor of the
Commercial hotel, the privilege of
resting in one of his beds, over

room, which the land-lord could

WASH 1 rA COUNTY BAD BLOOD.
UKORUE BAST AMD JIFF WILLIAMS
LUADKKS or FACTIOUS.
The Oklahoman: Assistant U-
nited States Attorney Roy Hoff-
man came in from Cloud Chief,
Washita county, laat night, where
he had been attending court, and
brings news of a bitter fued in that
country over the killing of Boh
Moore by Jeff Williams a few
months ago.
Ths factions ars led by Jeti
Williams and George Esst, the
latter a friend of Bob Moore, and
almost the eutire population has ta-
ken sides. Both the leaders are
desperaw men, with reputations as
"killers,', and have picked compan-
ions who also have such rej uta
tions to sustain. They all go armed
to the teeth, looking for trouble
and momentarially expecting it.
The two factions made a great
display at the opening of the court
the principle ca* i to be tried lieing
that of Jell Williams for killing
Bob Moore. 80 bitter was the
feeling that the factions ttirea'ened
each other right up to ih court
steps and entered the court room
armed and insolent. Judge Bur-
ford waxed wroth and Ordered the
deputies to disarm every man as
he entered, which was done, and
tiouble thus averted.
The case was opened by Mr.
Hoffman, but it was soon discov-
ered that the United Stat*s did
not have jurisdiction, and the
hearing continued for a time.
When Roy left they were look-
ing for trouble hourly, and he feels
certain that we will hear of *
wholesale killing from Chat direct-
ion soon.
Prooably no one will read the
*b «ve with more surprise than Mr
Hoffman, for while it is true that
Mr. Williams and Mr. East were
both here and that each of them
had quite a number of friends in
the city, it is not true that they
paraded around with guns, "mak-
ing a great display, entering the
court room, etc.."
A more orderly crowd never ap-
peared at any place or at any time
than was in our city ^st week,
and there were no 'factions here,
seeking trouble.
The grand jury found an indict-
ment against Jeff Williams, Geo.
Gordon and M. D. Farris, for mur-
der, and their bonds were fihed
out and the parties released on the
same within thirty minutes after
iheir arrest.
It is true, as the above article
states, that each side has it's
friends, but it is also true that
but very few of the citizens of our
county know anything more than;
that Bob Moore was killed; that at
OOBKKHPON UENCK.

_ roronors inquest, Jeff Williams
waB exhonorated: that it was re-
ported that George East was badly
shot, and that subsequent events
go to show that it was a mistake
and that is probably all that any
body will know about it until the
matter comes up at the next term
of court, and it is also probable
that all parties directly interested
will attend to their farms and their
own affairs until that time.

Preiident Cleveland spent Sun-

consolation the people dont follow
Grover's example very much.
Since Grover sent his letter to
Governor Stone notifying all office
holde's to be careful "where they
were at" or they would be "sumari-
aly dealt with," you dont hear so
much free silver talk among the
democrats. Oh Grover has got the
grip on the democrsts. Walk up
boys and take your medicine.
