ST. LOUIS. June f>. The body of
Thomas 13. Needles was taken to
his home in Nashville, 111., yesterday
from St. Louis, where he died early
Thursday morning in a hospital from
a complication of diseases from
which he had been suffering three
weeks.
Mr. Needles was the first 1 nited
States marshal ever appointed for
Oklahoma. He went to Muskogee
when the United) States court open-
ed there twenty-five years ago. When
the old Oklahoma territory * as
thrown open for settlement a few
months after his appointment, it be-
came his duty to enforce the law in
that region for his authority extend-
ed over all of what is now Okla-
homa.
Mr. Needles served as marshal for
several years and in 18iM> was ap-
pointed a member of the Dawes
commission to settle the affairs <>t
the five tribes. He remained with
that work here until 1905, when he
returned to Nashville.
Mr. Needles was born in 1840.
When he was 20 years old he was
married at Rlchvlew, III., to Sarah
Bliss, who died in 1905. He wa
active in
on the church. According to Mrs.
Gilbert, these questions will be ask-
ed or Or. Bustard «t the service:
"What was the relation of Christ
to the union? Are the Colorado
mines conducted as Christ would
have them conducted?"

showed Senator Clarke received a
majority of 212 votes over Judge

The contest committee, before
whom Judge Kirby appeared and
charged fraudi in the vote, of i'oin-

BANKERS WIN
FROM NORMAL
(From Friday's Daily Arrow).
The game of ball yesterday after-
noon between the Bankers and Nor-
mals was as anticipated a very in-
teresting and exciting one which re-
sulted in a victory t'or the Bankers
by a score of 8 to ti.
The attendance was not the larg-
est of the season but a fair szed
crowd was in attendance.
Tomorrow the Bankers will meet
the Outlaws in a V. D. C. mounment
fund benefit game. The proceeds
will be donated the Daughters to as-
sist them in lifting the last note,
now due, for the erection of the
monument and fountain in the court
house square.
Following is a summary of yes-
terday's game:

hands and drove from the open
ranges about 2,000 head of cattle
belonging to cattlemen at Choteau.
Residents fear that it marks the be-
ginning of an old-time cow-punchers'

i with great anxiety.
The Cherokes have long enjoyed
ithe privileges of an open range and

Should Choteau cattlemen not
heed mis warning, serious results
are predicted with possible blood
shed. Neither the cattlemen at
Choteau nor the Cherokees are apt
to stop at anything when they be

upon.
