THE REDOUT ABLE BLACKWELL.
A Little Shiver of Excitement
Floats Over hit Town.
Rj-i and fell.
It was reported some days since
that A. J. Blackwell of Chelsea
Daved and Blackwell bad been
"knocking the black out" again
with his fowling-piece but it ap-
pears to have been somewhat of a
fake story emanating from that
home of all . the fakes Wichita.
Tha facts as finally ascertained
are tbata man was borrowing
lumber from Colonel Blackell
with his permission he claimed
was asked to desist by the colonel.
The man did not desist and Col-
onel Blackwell got nut his gun and
fired in tiie air as a warning and
the mm in running stumbled
That was the end of the
affair except that the oflicers
rustled upon Colonel Blackwell
and he lingered his vhotgun and
made a speech before surrender-
ing. Having eurrenderpd he ex-
plained the aflair and a half-hour
later was as busy as ever supetn-
tending the erection of his mag-
nificient opera house. The story
sent from Wichita said that Col-
onel Blackwell had been thrown
into a deep dank dungeon that
log chains aggregating 507 pounds
in weight had been tied around
his legs and that armed guards
stood at the door of the dungeon
with leveled bayonets and so on
to the end of the book.
CATTLE SWINDLERS.
BREEZY TAHLEQUAH LETTER.
National Victory Foretold. Will Carry
FiVe Districts and Organize
the Senate and Council.
Number of Oklahoma "do up"
Jones Brothers tor $8000.
The governor of Oklahoma has
honored a requisition from the
governor of Mineouri asking for
the custody of six cattlemen who
are accused of swindling Jones
Brothers live stock commission
merchants of Kansas City out of
88000 by means of bogus mort-
gages. The transactions took
placis about two years ago. The
men are under indictment in Jack-
son county Mo. for obtaining
money under false pretenses. It
is asserted that Coleman and his
associates sold cattle to persons in
Oklahoma and then secured the
sales by taking mortgages on a
much larger number of cattle than
had actually been sold. The mort-
gages were sold to Jones Brothers
who allege that upon inquiry
they found they had been duped.
A suit to recover the money by
civil process is now pending in.lhe
district court of Canadian county.
Tahlequah I. T. Aug. 3 1899.
ErfToK Daily pHEiFTAis: Think-
ing that you will be glad to vgtt
reliable news in regard to the pend-
ing election I submit the follow-
ing from a national stand point:
me mtionai. party will carry!
1 aniequah Illinois if lint troings-
nake and Saline by large majority
for all tbeir ticket. Cookson
Redbird Smith and election s
ssrurred. Also Madison Sanders
and H. M. Triplett of Tahlequah.
They are making a death struggle
for Col. Harris andare using money
but they will fail. Harris fwill
never be senator of grand old Tah-
lequah district. We know the
power behind the throne in his
case W. W. Hastings is one.
The National party will line up
even in the old days was an exhi-
bition of shortsightedness on the
part ol the Indians. In the old
days however there was a sem-
blance perhaps of justice in such a
measure. Now however when
tinder the law municipal govern
ments have been established and
the segregation of towns from the
common domain in virtue is effect
ed and the traders and residents
of these towns by s pecific legisla-
tion are burdened with the coming
necessity of twice paying lor their
property and of an annual taxa
tion lor the maintenance of muni
cipal government the additional
permit tax is wholly unfair and
out of place and simply stands as
an imposition against the whites
who are engaged in making pros
nerous and valuable the whole
country. The law khould be re
pealed or nullified and no amount
of sentimental gush of the Indian
rights stripe ran justify in the eyes
of even the lair and broad minded
Indian citizen a continuation
this taxation which by nature has
simply become extortion. 1'hoe

BAD AS TULSA.
Wagoner's Baseball Club Composed
of Hard Men.
After the famous base ball game
of Wagoner vs Muskogee a portion
of the Wagoner team turned up at
Parsons where they attempted to
burglarize a stdre and were discov-
ered in the act by the night watch-
man who was shot and killed by
one of the bandit ball players and
he shot one of them. Six were
captured and placed in jail and
the feeling was so intense against
them thai it was thought best to
take them to Oswego to prevent
summary action by the enraged
citizeus' of Parsons. What Wag-
oner will do for a team in the next
game is not ye known. I'hoenii.
One of those fellows was in
Vinita the day after the game and
it would have been no mistj-tcti to
have given him six mouths twice a
year ni suspicion. ITq looked
like a burUr. . '

Nothing adds more to the attractive-
ness of a room than a pot of ferns. But
how to manage ferns when they come
from the florist is what few housewives
know. If the intention be to pot them
singly they should be repotted in a
size larger only than the pots they have
occupied. If received by mail with the
soil washed from the roots put the
plants into as small pots as will nat-
urally accommodate the size of their
roots. Place bits of charcoal or broken
pottery an inch in-depth in the bottom
of the pot for drainage. Cover this with
a thin layer of moss or leafy refuse to
prevent tiie soil from washing through.
An ideal soil in rich flaky leaf mold
with one-fourth part coarse sharp sand
well mixed in. In the absence of leaf
mold well-rotted sod rich in decayed
roots is excellent; or chip dirt mixed
with decayed straw or such matter;
with either of these use the same pro-
portions of sand. One need not always
