Lineman for Telephone Company Met
Instant Death
OKLAHOMA CITY: Charles Earle
a lineman employed by the Missouri
and Kansas Telephone Company in
this city was instantly killed by con-
tact with a live wire while attempt-
ing to locate a wire trouble at the cor-
ner of Ninth and Walnut streets in
Maywood
Chief Inspector Jennings of the
same company drove out to the local-
ity named and both ascended the tele-
phone pole on the northeast comer
Of the street intersection Earle had
gotten firmly seated on a cross-arm
and with nippers in haud was reach-
ing out to grasp a telephone wire when
Jennings who was sitting close to
him heard him groan and looking
quickly that way saw his unfortunate
companion fall forward and hang limp
on the wire Jennings moved quickly
to him and pulled Earle from the wire
The stricken man once opened his
eyes but immediately closed them and
fell back dead but held in his portion
by supporting wires
A Maywood station fireman came
along shortly after and was hailed by
Jennings Robinson climbed the pole
and Jetmings helped him place the
body of Earle on his shoulder and It
was brought down and taken into the
residence of Dr J M Postelle near
by Coroner Messenbaugh was noti
fled and went out to view the remains
After learning the facts relating to
the accident he concluded that an in
quest wa3 Unnecessary
The deceased was about 26 years
old unmarried At present the home
of his parents is not known but it is
believed he came from Salina Kansas
obtain a reasonable value independent
of any existing lease
“Under these circumstances I do
not think that it will be necesasry for
this office to require the allottee to
furnish information as to whether oi
not the land offered for sale by him
Is leased for a term of years
“As to your second question that Is
in valuing the land will this office take
into consideration the fact that it Is
leased and the purchaser cannot get
possession of the same for five years
I have to say that this office will not
take such a fact into consideration
when it is valuing such lands"
With this attitude of the government
respecting leases the sale of land will
undoubtedly be retarded and prospec-
tive bidders will be wary of making
bids on lands without full Investiga-
tion Most of the best land is plastered
over with one or more -leases some of
which will hold while others are no
doubt worthless

MUSKOGEE: The grand Jury sitting
here for the western Judicial district
of the Indian Territory during the past
week has made a record that was prob-
ably never before equalled The Jury
was impanneled Monday and com
menced work that afternoon Up to
noon Saturday about 400 indictments
had been returned Friday was the
record breaker On that day com-
mencing at 9 o’clock in the morning
and quitting at 6 o'clock in th even-

witnesses being all examined during
the day upon whose testimony the in-
dictments were based This was an
average of one indictment every two
minutes during the time the Jury was
in session Practically all of them
were for violation of the liquor laws

Refuse to Pay Bonus Notes
GUTHRIE: It is claimed that a num-
ber of the citizens of Guthrie who
signed bonus notes for the Fort Smith
& Western railroad will resist the pay-
ment on the notes for the alleged rea-
son that the time in which the road
was to have been completed into Guth-
rie expired about August 1 last when
in fact the road was net completed un-
til practically two-months later It is
claimed that additional time was
granted the road not by the subscrib-
ers of the notes but by an alleged
coterie of citizens without the author-
ity or knowledge of the great majority
A Small Race Riot at Guthrie Between
Soldiers and Negroes
GUTHRIE: Considerable excitement
prevailed here caused by the striking
of one of the militiamen of the Okla-
homa National Guard now encamped
here by a negro and for a tlAe it
looked as if a pitched battle between
the militia and negroes was unavoid-
able Trouble has been brewing be-
tween the militia and negroes attrib-
uted largely to the fact that some of
the militiamen ih a spirit of fuD
“blanketed" or tossed in a blanket a
negro boy The boy was reported tc
have been pretty badly bruised but
not seriously injured
Threats were made by the nfgroes
against the militia and several negroes
mingled with the crowd on the street
in which were a number of militiamen
They jeered the soldiers and final-
ly a negro struck one of the militia-
men in the face and was promptly
-stabbed by another soldier Then en-
sued a hand-to-hand fight in which a
negro was pounded severely by the
soldiers ' Timely interference of the
officers of the militia averted a general
fight and the police dispersed the
crowd tl is feared more serious trou-
ble will arise as race feeling is very
bitter
The names of participants could not
be learned and the wounded negroes
were taken away by friends before the
extent of their injuries could 'be as
certained
Rogers and a flrocleancr named Ham j time and as you have appropriated a
Engineer sufficient sum to put all of our public
building In a good state of repair
sufficient to answer every purpose to
the inevitable end of the existence ol
our tribal government I can perceive
of no reason at tbl time why our
appropriations for the ensuing year
should not be even still further di-
minished “It is a note woi thy fact that many
of us do not seem to appreciate the
advantages afforded us or consider the
amount whlrh Is annually appropriat-
ed for educational purposes alone The
appropriations which you made at
your last regular session for this pur-
pose amounted to 37C4C34d This
does not Include any sums appropriat-
ed for the rephir of any of the build-
ing school buildings The extra ex-
penses of the neighborhood schools
for 1902-03 amounted to 3394 08 In
reference to tho first named sum this
is equivalent to a per capita tax of
about $510 on the Creek people The
time is fast approaching wben the op
portunlties thus afforded will' be a
thing of the pasL and the education of
our youth will after the cessation of
our tribal government depend to a
great extent upon the thrift and per-
sonal resources of each parent or guar-
dian The expenses of your last regular
session of council amounted to $21-
45920 In May last your body was
again convened for the purpose of rat-
ifying or approving of the award made
by congress In the matter of the loyal
Creek claim This session cost $3-
79840 thus tnakibg a total expense
of 32527770 for holding the two ses-
sions of councils as against 39109990
for the previous year of 1902
“In the matter of the retirement
of our national warrants I will state
that there was paid during the fiscal
year ending June siOth last 3C995l45
on school warrants and 349G541G on
general fund warrants making n
grand total of 3119C05G5 You will
remember that I stated above that
your school appropriations amounted
to 37G4G840 Judging from the
amount that has been paid on school
fund warrants It would appear that
you have appropriated more for this
purpose than you were able to pay on
this class of warrants Out Hon J
Blair Sboenfelt United States Indian
agent informs me that he is at present
engaged in paying out the sum of 36?-
00000 additional on our national war
rants which will still further Increase
the sum total paid on our national
warrant since my last report to you
I will atate also that the agent in-
form me that of tho 3720000 appro-
priated by you two years ago for the
relief of certain Indigent Creek citi-
zens thore was on June 30th last
the Bum of $1126 50 still remaining
unpaid In response to my further In-
quiries he Informs me that there was
collected during the fiscal year end-
ing June 10th last through the In-

THROUGH THE GOVERNMENT
Royalties and Leases of Indian Lands
Not to Be Paid Direct
MUSKOGEE: The Interior depart-
ment has promulgated a new amend-
ment to its rules governing the leasing
of lands in the Cherokee and Creek na-
tions as follows:
'Hereafter no rents royalties or pay-
ments accruing under any lease which
has been approved by the secretary ol
the interior or which requires his ap-
proval shall be paid direct to the les-
sor but all payments to be made under
any lease shall at the times and I4
the amounts specified in such instrument-
be deposited with the United
States Indian agent at Union agency
or with some such other person as
may be designated by the secretary
of the Interior to receive the same to
be turned over to the lessor or bit
representatives”
Prisoners Secured Revolver
LAWTON: In the county jail which
contains thirty-six prisoners witb
only four cells the prisoners got a re-
volver which" the guard had laid down
outside the cell near them He placed
it there while working near - to th
cell thinking it might be taken from
his pocket
When the jailer learned what had
happened he with the sheriff and
deputies entered with shotguns and
rifles and demanded each prisoner to
tnrow up their hands without delay
which they diL When they found
there was' no use trying to conceal the
weapon they slid it out again and
what appeared to be a terrifying Jail
break was avoided
Balance deposited 323754115
“In my last report I gave the net
revenues as aocruing to the nation as
397G5455 The amounts given this
year show an Increaso of 313988659
over that qf last year While this in-
crease Is quite satisfactory to the
Creek people yet if all parties whom
we consider lawfully bound to pay
their tax hud done so the increase
should have been much larger In
my report last year there was record-
ed 3581708 as having been collected
as merchandise tax whereas this year
there has not as you will observe
been one dolllar collected under this
heading Likewise there was collect-
ed on an occupation tax 3-904944
this year there seems to have been
but 3300 collected There has also
keen a decrease of 3125591 in your
coal royalty resulting probably from
unsettled and unavoidable causes
Your pasture tax last year was $5-
08225 while this year It Is 32479570
T merely submit these comparative
statements to show that your revenue
has decreased on merchandise and oc-
cupation taxes and coal royalty but
largely Increased on pasture and bay
taxes and receipts from payments on
town lots This latter increase la
doubtless due to the rapid increase in
the number of towns In the Creek na-
tion and payments made on town lots
in the older towns As the payments
on town lots la this latter class ol
towns Is far from completed we may
look for considerably more revenue
from this source alone
From Ihe statements regarding the
nation's receipts and disbursements
it is quite apparent that our financial
condition Is quite satisfactory the
prospects being that the revenues will
bo still further increased In the near
future
And with careful management on
our part there Is no reason why this
prosperity cannot be maintained to
the end
