ilDN'T PAY FOR HIS EGGS.
Sna Work a Swindle on Indian
Territory Shippers.
Ono of the smoothest of the many
.whittles perpetrated at Claremore re-
eiitly was worked by one J. II. How-
.tiiin. He opened a wholesale produce
uouse in that town andat once plunged
'' into the egg business on a large scale
' placing agents in all t he towns on the
it. Louis Iron Mountain & Southern
railroad from here to Fort Smith.
As he offered a little more than the
market price for eggs he had no t rouble
in building up a large business in a
short time. His story was that his
li nn placed the eggs in cold storage
and the price of a cent or two per
doen extra cut very small figure as
they could hold them with very little
pense until a rise in the market.
His business certainly boomed and
shipments were pouring in from all
oer the country. A few days ago Mr.
Uownian appeared at the Hank of
("lareitiore and drew a sight draft on
a St. Louis firm for t:W0 on a shipment
f !3o eases of eirgs he had shipped the
1 illy previous. The draft was returned
to the bank unpaid and (i. IX Davis
the cashier upon investigation found
that Mr. Itowman had left on a Frisco
train the same afternoon after secur-
ing the money on the draft.
Mr. Davis on learning this proceeded
to attach any unpaid balance In the
hands of the St. Louis commission
company to whom liowman had been
' shipping the eggs arid he learned from
th m that there was due only ."t oil
a shipment of forty cases the day liow-
iii.ni left he having taken 1 100 on the
niane showing that he went direct
fioni Claremore to St. Louis.
Among the biggest losers are J. A.
N ahlcs & Co. who have stores at Sal-
iisiw and Maple. It is reported law-
man left owing them Sm. They had
1 cases of eggs on hand ready to be
shipped when they learned of law-
man's llight. J. M. Hrown of Hraggs
I T. and Keener & Wilson of Fort
;ibson. I. T. were victims to eonsid-
ri.ible extent. A representative of
' I he f's Mcreantle Company of Web-
Yr's "Falls .1. T. came in today to see
' n.. large cold storage plant Mr. Bow-
n in reprevinted to t;ae in operation
here.
Drendfnl Attack of Whooping CouKh
Mrs. Ellen Harrison of 3uo I'ark
Ave. Kansas City Mo. writes as fol-
lows: '"Our two children had a severe
attack of whooping cough one of
th-m in the -paroxism of coughing
w.mld often faint and bleed at the

of without getting relief. We then

years ago he was a scout on the plains and an Indian fighter fighting the
wild Indians of the plains. In his younger days he was an athlete and knew
all about the wild free life of a plainsman of that time. When Jefferson
made the Louisiana purchase from Napoleon Uncle Lewis Ketchum was on
earth and later was a prominent Igure In its development. He came to
Kans;Ls in t he turbulent days long before John Brown was ever heard of. He
went through all the hardships of frontier life. He came to the Indian Ter-
ritory with the second immigration of Delaware Indians and was a .It ted
to citizenship in the Cherokee Nation as a Delaware and had lived quietly
on his farm ever since. In the early days he was "a mighty hunter" supply-
ing himself and family with wild game in plenty. He was a kindhearted
honest Christ ian gentleman. Wit h his life goes out the last of the old-time
