THREATENS DAMAGE SUIT
Promoter Czarlinsky Claims j
He Lost £10.000 By Act
Town Council.
C. K. Czarlinsky, the street
fair promoter, passed through
the city Tuesday on his way
home from Coffey vi lie to Sa-
pulpa. While here he called on
Mayor Kirkpatrick and stated
that he intends to bring suit
against the city for alleged dam-
ages to the extent of #10,000, bo
cause the city council refused to
allow several of hiscouche-couche
shows to exhibit here during the
street fair. He had employed
the shows on a per cent, but as
the authorities would not allow
them to run, he claims to have
lost money in the transaction.
He also has other grievances
which he treatens to have aired
in court.
There is no question about Mr.
Czarlinsky being abused by indi-
viduals while he was here, but
his failure to secure specific con-
tracts relative to attractions he
proposed to secure rests upon
the promoter and not the town
authorities. Verbal contracts or
understandings between individ-
uals and municipalities are poor
proof in court, and it is probable
that the only damages the pro-
moter could secure would be a
hill of costs and lawyer fees to
bo paid out of his own pocket.
Should a damage suit be insti-
tuted against this town by Mr.
Czarlinsky it is possible that the
proceedings would make inter-
esting reading to most people in
this section. However, it is
stated by those supposed to know
that no such suit will ever come
to trial and that the "strained
relations" will soon be properly
,arranged. Claremore profited by
the street fair in experience and
publicity. If the promoter failed
to give a few variety shows a
place in the "grand mid-way" it
was not the fault but the duty of
the town authorities in refusing
license. That's all.
"Kansas Idea'.' in Vinita.
From the thirtiesville Magnet.
When the public schools pro-
vided for by the town of Vinita
opened Monday several colored
pupils presented themselves and
asked for admittance as pupils.
There was a small-sized rebellion
on the jjart of the white children.
The matter was presented to the
principal and by him reported to
the board of trustees, and a
ruling asked for. The board met
instantcr and ruled that the col-
ored children could not enter the
schools with the whites. There
is talk of the matter being taken
into court.

• The Chelsea Races. 1
From tho flvlsea ('onuwrelal.
It's interesting to go to tho;
fair grounds, mornings, and j
watch tho work outs. Some of |
the best horses in Indian Terri- 1
tory are quartered at the track, .
and dozens more have spoken for
stalls. While no great effort has |
been made to create any excite-,
ment in regard to the meeting;
to be given October 3, 4 and 5, j
there has been an under-current j
of feeling that good, honest racing j
was popular with the masses and ,
at tho above date this feeling!
would bo verified. From the
turn things have taken in the last j
few days it is safe to say that
Chelsea will be crowned with
another big success.
Chas. {Sanders Shot.
From Wagoner Sayings.
In a difficulty which occurred
ou the corner of Church and
Main streets Saturday night
Chas. Sanders, a well-known aud
highly-respected Cherokee citi-
zen, was shot and seriously
wounded.
It is a difficult matter for us to
give an accurate and detailed ac-
count of this deplorable affair,but
we give,such information as we
have been able to obtain.
It appears that Lee Sanders, a
brother to Charley, and some
other parties had trouble pre-
vious to the difficulty which led
up to the shooting, but with no
serious results. Marshal Ryan
was told that ho bad better go
and disarm Lee, as he had made
some threats. When Marshal
Ryan went to Lee and asked him
if he had a gun Lee replied no.
but told Ryau to come on to him
When Ryan got to Lee Sanders
the latter grabbed the former's
gun. While the marshal and Lee
were scuffling over the gun Char-
ley Sanders got hold of it.
Several shots followed, which
resulted in Charley Sanders be-
ing seriously wounded in the
left hip. A large portion of the
thigh bone was torn away.
Drs. McBride, Ruble and Floyd
performed a surgical operation
on Sanders and have been treat-
ing the case. He seems to be
doing as well as could be expect-
ed, but if tho wound does not
prove fatal it will take Sanders a
long tiuae to recover from it.
Charley Sanders is a member
of the Cherokee council, a citizen
in good standing and has always
been known as a quiet, peaceable
man.
It is singular that a man of his
standing and seeming disposition
would get into a scra]>e of this
kind. The affair is m uch regret-
ted by tho people here.

MINERAL LEASES INVALID!

Interior Department Ruling is |stuUy of lhe Clarelnoro ,mb,ic
Adverse to Investors.
Washington, D. C., Septem-
ber 30.—The interior de)>artment
has just handed down a decision
holding all mineral leases in the
Creek Nation thus far negotiated
for cancellation. The decision is
far-reaching in its effect,as it is a
severe blow to capitalists in St.
Louis, Kansas City and other
western towns who have invested
large sums of money in the de-
velopment of oil and coal fields in
the Nation.
The operations at present are
going on under contracts made
with members of the Creek Na-
tion who have made their selec-
tions. These selections have not
been approved by the Dawes
commission, and probably will
not for months to come. Patents
to the allottees will be issued
some time within a year, but un-
til this occurs no individual
leases for the mining of coal or
oil are of any validity whatever.
This announcement will be a
surprise to the members of the
Creek Nation who have made
their selections as well as to cap-
italists who have invested large
sums of money in developing the
mine ml lands of the Nation.
The Campbells Are Coming.
The greatest of all circus per-
formances with a rare collection
of wild beasts, will be exhibited
in this city on Friday, October 11.
Remember the day and date and
take a day off and come to town.
The street parade and free out-
door exhibitions will be particu-
larly interesting. A lesson to
children and a curiosity to old
people.

The course of study for the
Claremore public schools will bo
delivered to the patrons of tho
schools this week. Some delay
was caused by business firms
neglecting to furnish copy for
their advertisements. The booklet
is a neat one, printed on high
grade enameled paper, and got
up in first-class style. Professor
Essley deserves much credit for
the compilation of the subject
matter, and patrons will no longer
be in doubt regarding rules, reg-
ulations and discipline adopted
by the board of education. By
the special efforts jf Prof. Essley
in securing a few ads the booklet
will not cost the board anything.
Six hundred copies were printed,
the paper alone weighing about
150 pounds. The cover is Canary
enameled, and on the first page
is a half-tone of the school build-
ing. The booklet contains much
valuable information to both pu-
pil and parent and should bo
preserved for future reference.
