in question is so much closer to the
city of Tulsa than to Pawhuska
that the voters will favor the change
and if they so decide, the rest of the
county will be powerless to prevent
the change, thanks to our late con-
stitutional delegates.
It has always been claimed that
tb« allotment bill would for ever
prevent the dismemberment of the
county, but this may prove errone-
ous. Tulsa has placed the matter
people in the proposed territory so
decide, as the rest of the county
will have no say in the matter.
Should Tulsa succeed in getting
nine townshipe in the south part of
the county, Washington county
will ask for a strip off the east side
and Pawnee may wa;;t a chr.uk out
of th® south side, and Kay a strip
off the west side, and there would

would stop.

The farmers of this end of county
are organizing themselves into a
mutual protection association for
self preservatoin. In the Hay creek
neighborhood they have the organi-
tion completed and are holding regu-
lar meetings. They cxp.bt to ex-
tend th® organization nntil it in-
cludes every nook and corner of
this part of the county.
The object of the association is
to work for the opening of section
lines and building of roads; the se-
curing of more liberal and legal
leases; the rigid enforcement of the
Oklahoma herd law; to protect
themselves against the encroach-
ment and depredations of the big
herds of cattle, and see that the cat-
tle men pay for damages done by
their stock; and to support no can-
didate for office who is no pledged
to support and protect the farmer's.
The farmers of Osage county are
as a lule industrious and law abid-
ining citizens and abhor anything
that resembles violence or trouble,
and the report that the Hay creek
farmers threatened violence agaiust
the cattlemen is false. The only
time that any trouble was ever star-
ted was when a cowboy come to a
meeting of the farmers with a big
six shooter strapped on him, and he
was promptly arrested by a farmer
boy wbo held a commission as dep-
uty sheriff. Since then the sheriff,
at the request of of the oattlemen,
took the commission away from this
deputy, which was a damnable out-
rage and an insuit to every farmer
i in the llay creek country.

Mr. George D. Perkins died at
the home of his daughter, Mrs W.
N. Sharp, of this city, at ten o'-
clock Wednesday morning, aged a
little more than sixty-nine years,
lie was born in Indiana in 1841 and
spent his early life in the state. He
served as a Union soldier during
the Civil war, as a member of the
•2'2nd Indiana Cavelry.
In 1884 he moved to near New-
ton, Kansas, where he resided uu-
til his wife died a few years ago,
since which he has made his home
with his children, dividing his time
between Oklahoma and Indiana.
He was the fatlier of eleven child-
ren, six girls and five boys, all ex-
pet one of whom are living. Mr*.
W. N. Sharp, of Foraker, and Mrs.
C. F. Anderson, of Hominy, being
the only ones in this part of the
state. The others reside in Wes-
tern Oklahoma, Kansas, South Da-
kota and Indiana.
Deceased had been a sufferer from
stomache trouble for the past seven
years and for the past two years he
has been almost a helpless invalid.
He was a patient sufferer and for
sometime realized that his time was
short, yet lie calmly awaited the
end. He had an abiding faith in
the power of God, and passed away
in the hope of a happier life beyond.
The remains were prepared for
burial by undertaker Johnson. The
remaius will be taken Friday after-
noon to N ewton, Kansas, for inter-
ment. The members of Osage lodge
No. 390, A. F. <fc A. M., will meet

The first league game was played
here Sunday between Dunn's Colts
and Dexter, and resulted disastrous-
ly to the home team, the score be
ing 17 to 6 in favor of Dexter.
The first two iniiings indicated a
close and interesting game, but af-
ter that the visitors had things
pretty much their own way. The
gamewas won by the pitcher ourboys
being unable to get but few hits off
him, and they batted our pitchers
all over the field.
It was the first game the Colts
have lost, but they now no doubt
realize that in order to play good
ball and win they will have to do
moire practicing.
Cedarvale will be hore Sim-
day and it is to be hoped the Colts
will get in the game and redeem
themselves.
The Dexter team is composed of
