This is the way the Bixby Bulle-
tin puts it: "No towu or city will
grow and prosjier unless its citi-
zens are willing for it to do so.
They must be public spirited, give
liberally to new enterprises, at-
tend commercial meetings, talk of
the advantages of their city, tell
how it has anil is growing, what is

in you, oppose no plan that is pro-
posed for the beUerment of the
city, improve your property, build
houses, keep the streets clean,
plant trees, and do any and every-
thing that will make the town
greater. '*
A pipe dream from the |>essiinis-
tic editor of the Owasfeo Ledger:
We have always said it and it
does us good to rejieat it. that the
Dawes commission has 'oeeu tin
most corrupt and discriminating
set of grafters the Cherokees have
ever had to deal with. But, what
good would an investigation do.
It is no use to Wild one grafter t>
investigate another. The whole
coterier of United States officials
everywhere are made up largely
of men of the same stripe and
color. Elected by the people to
terve the railroads, oil companies,
land sharks nd other -ombines.
Is not this true to a ilotY The an
sweT repounds !"W million strong,
it is.

cers saw six in the tang ,,H' ",e>

point. When the officers ail
vancwl they |toured a hot volley
into tliein. Oilstrap fired one
shot and was in the act of dis-
mounting when he fell dead shot
through the brain. The possemen
look to cover and the fight con
tinned. The Wickliffes were sj
placed that they could |M.nr in a

was shot through the side and the
officers retreateil slowly, lighting
as they fell hack.
They retreaied alxiut 900 yaril#
to a place where they had natural
protection and the V\ ickliffes
dared not attack them there. The
gang then robbed the l ody of Oil-
strap of a watch and pistol-- Thomp-
son had carried away Gilstrap's
rifle—but they did not find $25 in
currency which Oilstrap hail in
his hip pocket. Gilstrap's face
was powder burned and it is
thought tnat one of the outlaws
fired a shot into the lusly after
death. Than W off ord sent a run-
ner. Pie* Mac.n, into Tahlequah

hardly likely that Ledbetter will

Marshal Darrough and most <>f
his men returned Wednesday from

the opinion that a large number «.f
men cannot lie used to advantage.
A small force under Deputy Lon«
siul Than Wofford will keep in
touch with the Wickliffes and try-
to effect their capture. It is now
thought that Hugh Foreman be-
trayed the marshals and that he
has helped the Wickliffes. Eight
persons charged with assisting the
Wickliffes were arrested and
brought to jail.

than five men took |mrt in the light
