Oklahoma City, Sept. 2.—(Special.)
—Labor day was celebrated here in
loyal style today. The streets filled
enrly with thousands of pleasjrc seek-
ers, their wives and sweethearts, all in
gayest holiday attire. All business
bouses were closed, and cool breezes
and fair skies left nothing to be de-
sired from the weather man. The pa-
rade which formed at California and
Robinson streets at io o’clock, was the
largest and best Oklahoma City has
witnessed since the Rough Riders’
reunion. Two thousand representa-
tives of organized labor were in line,
pether with numerous floats, both hu-
morous and attractive, made a spec-
tacle never to be forgotten.
The procession was headed by Chief
Cochran and a platoon of eight mount-
id police, making a fine appearance.
These were followed by Mayor Jones
and councilmen in carriages. Next the
fire department with the new steamer,
chemical engine and two hose wagons.
The first of the organized labor or-
ccs was the stone cutters’ union, with
thirty men in white uniforms and they
were followed by the International Ty-
pographical Union, with thirty print-
ers in line, preceded by a very realistic
“devil.”
Members of the retail clerks’ union
followed the printers, and were led by
a large float on which were about twen-
ty-five pretty lady clerks.
The carpenters and joiners were the
next organization and the largest in
point of numbers in the parade. With
a big float upon which six active car-
penters were making the shavings fly,
and a line of nearly two hundred men
they made an appearance second to
none in the procession.
Next in line were the leather work-
ers, who numbered thirty men, and
followed the splendid float ot the Ok-
lahoma City Saddlery company.
Following the leather workers came
the building laborers union of one
hundred men, and then the lathers with
one hundred, and the painters a~d
paperhangers with one hundred more.
Other unions represented in the parade
were:
The Cigarmakers’ Union.
The Bricklayers and Masons Union,
forty members.
The Sheet Metal Workers Union,
thirty members.
The Tailors’ Union, fifty members.
The International Electrical Work-
ers, forty members.
The Barbers’ Union.
The Butchers’ Union.
The Plasterers’ Union.
Among the most attractive floats
were four representing the blacksmith
and machine shops in full blast of the
Sherman Machine company. A num-
ber of fine floats were in the parade
representing local enterprises.
Excellent music for the parade was
furnished by the First Regiment Band
of Edmond. O. T., of twenty pieces,
and the U. C. T band of this city.
This afternoon the real celebration
of Labor Day was indulged in at Riv
erside Park, where a good program of
addresses and music was given to :t
large crowd of picnicers. Almost ev-
ery holiday game was played, the races
and contests made sport for a.I, a day
long to be remembered by those who
toil.
The business of the Oklahoma City
postoffice, a - shown by the report
just issued, show- a most gratifying
increase. A comparison of the stamp
sales for the month of June. July and
/ugust of the last three years makes
interesting reading.
Stamp sales. June. i8<xj........$1,804.22
Stamp sales. June. 1000........ 2.710.68
Stamp sales. June. 1001........ 3.185.25
Stamp sales, July. 1890........ 1.068.24
Stamp sales, July, igoo...... . 2.232.16
Stamp sales. July. 1901........ 3.027.20
Stamp sales, August. 1899. .. . 1.000.18
Stamp sales. August, iqoo..... 2.302.54
Stamp sales. August. loot..... 4.085.00
This is an increase for iqoi of nin-
ety-three per cent over corresponding
figures for 1890. At this rate, it will
not be long until Oklahoma Citv wilt
be entitled to a government building.
Fatty Oswald, a driver for the Ok-
lahoma City Steam Laundry, was ar
jested today for a murderous assault
on George Walker, driver for the Pal-
ace Laundry. The quarrel grew on
of a proposed bet. and words were
succeeded by blows, resulting in Os-
wald inflicting a deep wound on Walk-
er's head with a knife. The wounded
r,an will recover.
Sheriff O'Brien. J. K. Saunders, rep-
resentative of Governor Dcckerx *d
Missouri, left yesterday afternoon w* h
William Favors, the negro acctir**d «*t
•*e murder of Miss Gazelle Wilde, at
Pierce City. Mo. Favors has been un-
der arrest here for a week, refusing to
go back to Missouri without requisi-
tion papers, and his attorneys made a 1
I hard fight Saturday before Governor
‘ jenkins, but the latter honored the
papers, with the stipulation that the
I .''•reused be taken to a pla:e . f safety.
! The evidence is strong against Favors
:nd it will probably go hard with
; him.
I The city council held an important
i meeting Saturday night, lasting until
; midnight. The knell of slot machines
was sounded, when by a vote of four
! to two, it was decided that the running
’ of slot machines in this city should be
absolutely prohibited. The reports
< t the various city officials for tl> ,
month were received, and various bids
; ordered paid. The new fire engine
I was accepted at the price of $2,500.
It is announced that Mr. j. S. Hay-
don. at present auditor of th? Choctaw
j loute, has been appoitned treasurer of
1 the Choctaw, Oklahoma and Texas
! railroad with headquarters at Amar-
illo, Texas. This is the Texas exten-
sion of the Choctaw through the Pan*

development of that section.
In the probate court this morning
marriage licenses were issued to Mann

WAR IN THE WEST.
Sheep Mon and Cattle Men Fighting For
Range*.
Lander, Wyo., Sept. 2.—Sheep men
and cattle men are at war over range
matters, ten miles south of Lander, and
unless citizens who have gone to the
scene to settle the difficulty, arrive there
in time, there maybe bloodshed. It is
said that the cattlemen have set apart a
certain section and have ordered all
sheep men away. One sheepman. G. H.
Souter, refused to go,and was rejected by-
force. He secured twenty-five herders,
armed them and returned. lie says he
will drive his sheep through the disput-
ed territory in spite of the cattlemen.

Lawton, O. T.. Sept. 2.—(Special.)—
Lawton was visited by another good
rain this morning and the city pre-
sents an entirely different appearance
today. Everything seems to be re-
freshed and everybody is full of vim
and hustle. Building is going on rap-
idly and scores of residences arc going
up in all parts of the city.
The town observed its first holiday
today although a visitor would scarcely
recognize that anyone was taking a
day off. The banks, county officers
and postoffice were closed and each
entrance bore the card "Legal Holi-
day. Labor Day.”, At the mass meet-
ing held tonight the work of the cen-
sus takers was ratified and $200 was
paid them for their work.
M. A. Munson of Denison. Texas,
accompanied hv several other gentle-
men, one from Ohio and one from
Pennsylvania, representatives of oil
capitalists in company with J. Lovic
Johnson, ex-chief surveyor of the
Rock Island, have made a ten days trip
through oil fields. They say that the in-
dications for petroleum are as good as
they ever come in contact with and
that the asphaltuni indications were
only superficial. Mr. Munson stated
that if a well was sent down to a depth
of 900 feet is would be impossible to
fail to get oil. Where that point was
he was not able to guarantee. His
theory was that owing to high pres-
sure from the mountains, the oil cham-
ber would be struck at a depth of 400
feet. While four parties of whom P.
O. Brown was one of the number, was
prospecting on the north side of Mt.
Scott recently, they came across a hole
some eight or ten feet in depth. They
began exploring and two skeletons
were found in the bottom of the pit,
with a large boulder, weighing prob-
ably three tons, lying across the re-
mains. In one of the hip bones was
discovered an Indian arrowhead.
Whether the parties were miners and
had taken refuge in the hole from at-
tack from Indians will probably never
be revealed. From the size and shape
of the skull it is believed that one of
them, at least, was a white man.
Six decisions of rejected applications,
in which the register and receiver of
the Lawton land office had recommend-
ed be disallowed, have been sustained
by the secretary of the interior, and
one of which the commissioner of the
general land office was overruled. The
officials have also been notified of one
rejection to amend filing.
Two parties of the same name ap-
peared to file today. Their names
were John F. Jones and both came

Trial (if Colnmlila und Constitution in a
I.I^lit Wind Showed Old Cham-
pion’* Fine Point*. *
| Newport. R I., Sept. 2.—The official
1 trial race of the Columbia and Constitu-
| tion today practically had no resuls. The
I yachts, for lack of wind, were unable to
I finish within the time limit of five and
one-half hours.
At 6:30 this evening the contest came
to an inglorious conclusion, two miles to
the eastward of Brenton’s Reef lightship.
At that time the Columbia led by a
good quarter of a mile. The course was
triangular, ten nautical miles to a leg.
the first being a beat to windward, east
by south, the second a reach with the
w ind about abeam, and the third a run
before the wind, which hauled to make
it another stretch, with the wind abeam
until the race was declared off. After
crossing the line at exactly the same mo-
ment, six seconds after gunfire, with
the Constitution in the windward berth,
the Columbia worked out and getting
, her wind free, forged ahead. The Con-
stitution tacked off shore and shortly af-
ter the Columbia followed, going up to
windward and passing her. From then
on to the windward mark it was nothing
hut a steady gain for the old boat, and
when both had rounded it was fopnd
that the Columbia had gained four min-
utes and fifty-five seconds, the worst
heating the Constitution had yet received.
On the second leg the wind fell very
light.
After rounding the second mark four
minutes ami thirty seconds behind and
starting for home, the Constitution
carried up all the wind there was and
passed her rival. Then the breeze came
up again, and the Columbia once more
shot ahead. Shortly after the race was
called off, with the Columbia well in the
lead. It will be resailed tomorrow after-
noon, the start being at 2 o'clock.
The Commercial club held a very im-
portant meeting last evening and a thor-
ough and aggressive campaign will be
inaugurated at once to secure for El Reno
