numerous tharnat other times. There

ble of so.nc kind which makes it
necessary for the authorities to take
a hand.
The proposition under the present
circumstances is simply this: We
must either subject an offender to
inhuman treatment by lodging him
in a cooler that is too awfully cool
and risk his escape or freezing to
death befo'c the city magistrate gets
ready for him. or else order the of-
fender out of town and thus practi-
cally let hi.n go unpunished. Neith-
er course w.ll do. The dignity of
the law must be sustained and of-
fenders ag linst it receive their just
deserts.

A very large amount of ice is
consumed here during the hot season
each year. If the club could suc-
ceed in inducing some moneyed men
to start an ice factory here, all the
money that now goes to other cities
would stay in Stroud.
Almost sufficient wheat is grown
in this vicinity to supply a large
flouring mill year in and year out.
The deficiency if any could be easily
supplied. Then why not induce
someone to start a mill here? Men
with means are always looking for
good investments and to induce some

G. W. Tanksley is here with his
family. They are most estimable
young people. He has taken active
charge of the new livery barn, locat-
ed just south of the Farmers and
Merchants Bank. They come from
four miles south of Stroud and are
known to many of our people and
come with the best of recommenda-
tions. The Independent extends to
them on behalf of the citizens of
Cushing a hearty welcome.—Cushing

ANOTHER MISCREANT.
Several days ago as the south
bound Frisco passenger train Meteor
was approaching Holdenville, an
unknown person fired a bullet through
a window of the observation car.
The bullet passed between a news-
paper and the face of a drummer
who was reading it, frightening him
so badly that he fainted. The bullet
about 38-caliber, lodged inside the
car. It is thought the person who
fired the shot had no other than sim-
ply a murderous motive, feeling that
he was safe in the darkness and that
his identity would never become
known. The railroad company has
ofiered a reward of $500 for the ar-
rest and conviction of the person
who did the shooting.—Sapulpa

LANGENBERG-HAYNES.
After we had gone to press last
week, we learned that F. W. Lang-
enberg, th2 well known Stroud pro-
duce broker and one of our most es-
teemed and public spirited citizens,
and Miss Minnie Haynes, daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Haynes, of
this city, one of the handsomest
young ladies of Stroud, were mar-
ried before Probate Judge S. A. Cor-
dell, in Chandler, the day before
Christmas. The newly married
couple made a short wedding trip on
which they started immediately after
the ceremony.
They returned to Stroud Tuesday
evening and will stay at the Hotel
St. Louis for a few weeks and then
go to housekeeping in the handsome
and cozy home which Mr. Langen-
berg is now erecting in the northern
part of the city.
The Star joins in the congratula-
tions of many friends of the newly-
married couple and wishes them a
long, prosperous and happy wedded
life.
IT SEEMED UNCERTAIN.
Persons who have closely watched
the progress of the Creek deeds will
refrain from making any very haz-
ordous predition as to when the deeds
will be issued, but it seems apparent
ihe day is not far distant now when
the Creek will be permitted to sell
his land, and the shackles which
have been binding down the nascent
glory of his land will be broken
asunder.—Sapulpa Light.
