THE TWO TERRTOR1ES
The South McAlester Capital
lias set another date for the fu-
neral of the single statehood
movement. It is really too bad
that the corpse always refuses t<
play ri^lit, persisting in sitting
up and laughing in the faces of
the anxiously impatent under-
takers, instead of lying still and
being decently interred, as the
Capital fain would have it.

Details of the damage done by
the tornado last week in the
country near Norman show con-
siderable loss. North of town
the tornado came suddenly about
11 o'clock and followed the path
of the destructive storm of six
years ago, traveling from north
to south. The residence of Pol-
and Thomas, in the Chickasaw
country, was blown a quarter of
a mile, injuring Thomas an his
wife. Many farm houses and
barns were destroyed or badly
damaged and considerable live
stock killed. -Shaweee Ouill.
On last Tuesday Fred Faine,
aged 2>S, who was a brakeman on
freight 103 going south, was in-
stantly killed at Frink station,
which lies between Denison and
South McAlester. No one wit-
nessed the accident but the pre-
sumption is that in attempting
to alight from the train to throw
a switch, which he had instruc-
tions to do, he lost his balance
and was hit by a car. His body
Was found lying along the track,
with his skull so badly crushed,
that he must have died immed-
iately. He had but recently be-
come a resident of Denison, hav-
ing moved there from Galveston
after that town was devastated
by the washout. He leaves a
wife and two children. South
McAlester News.
The Stroud Messenger is re-
sponsible for the following "bit"
of Indian Christianology: "The
devout Ozaukie Indian sticks to
his idea about heaven and hell
like a barnacle to the keel of a
vessel. He believes that heaven
is located in the west, and to
reach the redskin elysium those
that go there have to travel over
a log that reaches from bank to
bank over the bottomless river ot
death. The souls of good In-
dians have no trouble in crossing
the river on the rather long,
narrow log, but disembodied bad
Ozaukies will never reach the
other side, for the reason that
when they attempt to get on the
log-bridge the braineater, an
giant armed with a heavy club,
will knock them on the head,
and eat the warm brains. The
wicked Indian tumbles into
dark, bottomless river.

jury decided that his neck had
been broken. He had been paid
about $150 by hee Patrick on
Monday, but no motley was found

der and robbery is suspected, and
some parties are being watched.

Two good $10 lap robes were
stolen froip a buggy in front of
Sherman Hurst's residence in
I <ong wood township Monday
night, while a merry crowd of
dancers were tripping the light
fantastic. The same night a
horse, saddle, bridle and robe
were stolen from Kildare. There
seem to be an organized band of
thieves in or near Kay county,
which needs the attention of the
tfficers. Ponca Democrat.

some chickens into a grocery

when he went to the field his cot-

I hat paper says: Tuesday night
there was a lree for all fight at

when a difficulty of some sort
came up resulting in a number of

yer of Oklahoma City was in
Norman last week attending
court and remained in the city
longer than was his custom.
Some one gave a tip to his wife
that she was needed in Norman
to preserve the family's fair name,
so Mrs. came down on a
train late Friday evening and
immediately instituted search for
her wayward husband. Hearing
that the sporty decendent of
Blackstone was then keeping a
seat warm around a green table
in a local gambling resort, a
messenger was dispatched to in-
form him of his wife's presence
and to seek an interview. Not
desiring to face his wife before
company, the lawyer hired a ve-
hicle and was driven to Oklaho-
ma City leaving his wife await-
ing the return of her messenger.

The Ridenhour hunting party
which operated recently near
Henryetta had tough luck. The
boys found game all right but
that isn t all of it. Kidenhour
killed a deer and carried it as far
as he could and then hung it up
in a tree. When he went back
it was gone. To cap things oil
Allan Crockett and Tom Allen's
fvs dog treed something and
Ridenhour going out thought
the dog was a wolf and shot its
head oil. Allan and Tom mad
an assignment at once and struck
out for home. The accident
threw a damper over the whole
party. The others of the sad-
hearted party will return as fast
as they can—Vinita Leader.
