THREE KILLED IN A CLASH AT
HARTSHORNE DURING A
STREET FAIR
PUL STARTED BETWEEN YOUNG MEN
Young White Man Deliberately Shot
Down by Negro—Innocent Negro
Shot By Bystander—Deputy
Marshals Quiet
Excitement
HARTSHORNE: In a race riot
here one young white man, named
Johnson, was killed instantly by a ne-
gro and a young negro from Tisho-
mingo an innocent bystander was
killed by a white man.
Hartshorne is a mining town fif-
teen miles east of McAlester. It has
a population of about 2000. A street
fair was being held and a quarrel
started between some negroes and
white boys on the principal street.
The fight lasted for some time and
It seemed that the whites were get-
ting the best of It, when a negro walk-
ed up to young Johnson, placed a re-
volver at his breast and deliberately
shot him through the body. In the
excitement a young negro whoso home
was In Tishomingo, and who had not
been taking part In the trouble, start-
ed to run from the crowd and a white
man pulled a revolver and killed him.
Johnson was carried to a doctor's
office, but died on the way.
Deputy marshals came from Mo-
Alester, but it was far Into the night
before the town was quieted. Before
the marshals arrived the negroes left
the scene, stating that they were go-
ing for their guns. The whites start-
ed for guns and returned, but the ne-
groes did net.
Grand Jury’s Work of Four Days
TULSA: The recent grand jury
returned 131 Indictments, after a
strenuous sitting ef four days. The
crime included almost everything on
the calendar. This Is said to be the
biggest batch of indictments returned
by any grand jury in the western dis-
trict of Indian Territory in recent j
years.
FIRE SIS AT CHIGKftSHfi
BELIEF THAT ATTEMPT WAS
MADE TO BURN FAMILY
ALIVE
CH1CKASHA: The family of C. C.
Spetter, Fifth street and Dakota ave-
nue, had a narrow escape from being
burned to death in their heme when
the house was found ablaze at 2
o’clock Monday morning.
Just as the last member of title
family was awakened and left Mte
building collapsed.
Spetter and members of the local
fire department are of the belief that
the fire was of Incendiary origin. The
bucket fnem an open well in the front
yard had been taken from its place
and hid in an alley.
When the fire department arrived
at the building it was burning in
three or four different places and
none of the furniture was saved. The
police are at work In an effort to
discover the identity of the firebug.
Another small blaze at the home of
R. C. Vaughn was extinguished with-
out much loss. A third fire, which
caused no loss, was started in a feed
barn cn Kansas avenue.
The origin of this blaze is a mys-
tery and the local police officers are
strongly inclined to the belief that a
firebug is working systematically
here.
UNITED STATES ATTORNEY IS
PROSECUTING VIOLATORS OF
SHERMAN LAW
POND CREEK: John Embry. United
States d’strict attorney, is prosecuting
the indictments returned by the
Woods county federal grand jury
against the officials of the Amidou
Lumber company and the Minnetonka
Lumber company, including the
Gloyds of Kansas City, S. A. Amidou
ol Wichita, George Crowell of Alva
and others. These cases will be heard
at Pond Creek on a change of venue
from Woods county.
The companies are charged in the
indictment with violating the Sherman
anti-trust law in being members of an
alleged lumber trust to control prices
and prevent competition, and followed
a ruling by Chief Justice Burford here
that the law is directly applicable to
Oklahoma because it is a territory.
Several lumber dealers are also un-
der indictment under similar charges
at Newkirk.
WILL PROVE IT NAVIGABLE
MUSKOGEE BUSINESS MEN WILL
GO TO WATERWAYS CON-
VENTION IN BOAT
MUSKOGEE: Fred Scherube! and
a party of Muskogee business men
who will attend the deep waterways
convention at Memphis in October,
will go down the Arkansas river to
the Mississippi and oil to Memphis in
Mr. Scherubei’s boat "Wherenow."’
They propose to make an unanswer
able argument for the navigation of
the Arkansas river and just to prove
that it is navigable for smaller craft
without any improvement and at the
lowest stage of water, the boat wi!
be used. There will be ten men in
the party. The remainder of the
delegation will go by rail. It was pro-
posed for the entire delegation of 30
to go down the river to Memphis in
the Chaparrel, a larger boat, but tnis
was abandoned on account of the time
required to make the trip.
INSISTS ON RECORDS
Judge Lawrence May Cancel the Com-
missions of Notaries
MUSKOGEE:' On election day in
Muskogee and in many counties, no-
taries were at, the polls ready to fur-
nish aftidavits that voters were legal-
ly qualified. In most of uiese cases
no record was kept—none was want-
ed. Now Judge William R. Lawrence,
who has always been a stickler on
the subject of notaries Keeping com-
prehensive records, wants to know
where the notaries' records are.
It looks like those who failed to
keep a record, or who are unwilling
to show them will lose their commis-
sions. It is understood that there are
about thirty notaries who are in this
predicament. Most of the affidavits
wore made for negroes who wanted
to vote.
RESENTS INSULT WITH SHOT
Girl Shoots Man During Dance on an
Oklahoma Ranch
NORMAN: Isaac Chietwood was
fatally shot near here when he in-
sulted Hattie Guy at a country dance.
The shooting occurred at the home
of Asa Haskell, the uncle of the girl
| who did the shooting.
When he made his insulting ire-
marks to the girl she went to an ad-
joining room and returned with a
j shot-gum and shot Chietwood full in
the face. The gun was loaded with
I buckshot, and the load tore off the
I lower part of Chietwood's face and
knocked cut all his teeth.
awaiting constitution
STILL KEEP SMASHING
Attorney General Bonaparte Expect*
Official Copy Soon
WASHINGTON: Attorney Gen-
eral Bonaparte returned and is at his
desk in the department of justice. In
the matter of the Oklahoma constitu-
tion he said that the government had
not yet received an official copy of
the constitution as adopted by the
voters of Oklahoma, but a copy is ex
pected soon, and when received it
would be referred to the president
for such action as he saw fit bo take.
In the meantime the officials of the
department have been examining the
constitution as they understand it was
adopted, with a view to making a re-
port to the president in case it should
be asked for.
Final decision likely will be reach
ed in a few days.

Court Will Not Restrain Spilling of
Low Grade Beer
MUSKOGEE: Sixty indictments
were returned at the Tulsa term oi
court against the vendors of Uno,
Longhorn, Pablo. Hiawatha and other
alleged soft drinks which are, in fact,
low grade beers. This indicates ilia,
after two years of work W. 'E. John
son has the courts working In th
district so that he will be able to
drive the near beers out of the market.
An injunction to restrain Johnson from
smashing the beers was refused by-
Judge Lawrence.
While the indictments have been
made and the arrests are following, if
statehood is secured this fall, the
cases will never be brought to tri
because the courts cannot reach them
The beer men are making bonds am
unless Johnson smashes up the beer
as fast as they ship It in, they will
continue to sell it regardless of the
Indictments. The same men have
boen indicted on the same charge at
lour different terms of court at Tulsa
and have never been tried on a single
indictment.
MOTY TIGER RECEIVES COMMIS-
SION FROM PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT
WAS BOHN AND REABED IN TERRITORY
Tiger Come* From Pure Indian Blood
and May be Said .to Represent
the Non-Progressive Element
of HI* Tribe
GUTHRIE: Moty Tiger, chief of the
Creek Indian nation, succeeding the
late Chief Pleasant Porter, has re-
ceived his commission from President
Roosevelt making him the authorita-
tive head of the Creeks.
In view of the fact that he will prob-
ably be the last chief of the Creeks,
much interest attaches to Chief Tiger.
Bearlug a name which indicates agil-
ity and strength. Chief Tiger does not
belie his name in appearance. He Is
straight as an arrow, wears a black
beard and has a dignified manner
which commands attention at the first
glance.
The chief's given name is Ho-mah-
ti-ka, which, being difficult to pro-
nounce in English, has been corrupted
to “Moty." This name translated
from the Creek means, “The first to
cross the river, enter enemies' coun-
tries and recapture canoe.” It was
the name of one of Tiger’s gallant an-
cestors who, with three other brave
Creek warriors were the first to re-
capture the canoe from the enemy
during the Florida war.
Moty Tiger comes from pure Indian
blood, and was born in Indian Terri-
tory five years after his father, Tulsa
Fixico, and mother, Louisa, emigrated
with the Creek tribe to Indian Terri-
tory in 1835.
Tiger, true to his name and parent-
age, early became a warrior, and at
the outbreak of the civil war he en-
listed in the volunteer Indian regi-
ment of Colonel Chilly McIntosh and
served through the war, retiring as a
first sergeant. Reduced to poverty in
the service of the southern cause, he
split rails, fenced a plat of ground and
proceeded to make a living for him-
self and family. He was not called tx>
official position until 1874, when he
was elected captain of the light horse
of the Creek nation. Later he was
elected a member of the house of
kings from Tuckabatchee town and
held successively thereafter the posi-
tion of district judge of Deep Fork
district, member «f the house of war-
riors, attorney general, superinten-
dent of Creeks orphans’ homes and
prosecuting attorney of Deep Fork
district.
In the fall of 1899 Tiger was elected
second chief of the Creek nation and
re-elected in 1903. In 1893 the Dawes
commission was created by act of con-
gress for the purpose of negotiating
with the several tribes of Indians in
Indian Territory with a view of dis-
solving the tribal relations and allot-
ing the Indian lands. A mass meeting
of the Creeks was called by Chief Per-
ryman to consider the proposition of
the commission and Tiger was the
only Indian present who did not op-
pose the plan.
Chief Tiger is following the prece-
dent of Sam Checote, who was chief
of the Creeks many years ago. He
was an English scholar, but whenever
anyone spoke to him in an official ca-
pacity, especially as a representative
of the government, he refused to talk
unless the conversation was inter-
preted into Creek. He took the ground
that he was representing the Creek
nation and that their native language
was the only one he would recognize
in the transaction of business for his
people.
Since assuming the duties of chief
a constant stream of full-blood In-
[ dians may be seen filing into his office.
His callers represent largely the non-
J progressive element, who hope
through their new chief to restore
I some of their lost power. Although
he can talk English perfectly, Chief
Tiger conducts all his conversations
regarding official affairs in the Creek
language. His office force is com-
posed of a secretary, two stenograh-
ers and an Interpreter and If a whita
man wishes to speak to the new chief
he must do so through this interpre-
ter.
Escaped Soldier Returned to Fort
LAWTON: After being at liberty
for five months, during which time he
visited Lawton and other Comanche
county towns, Horace M. Buck an ar-
tilleryman of battery B light artillery
at Fort Sill, has been arrested. More
than a month ago he left the post and
never returned. He was taken into
custody by policemen. Landes and
Edwards and taken to Fort Sill where
he was identified as the escaped sol-
dier and placed in the guard house.
WILL OBEY ORDER OF COURT UN-
DER PROTEST—OKLAHOMA
INTERESTED
TOPEKA. KAN.: A statement has
been filed with tile Kansas railway
commissioners, signed by the geueral
counsel for ail the roads in the state,
stating that the two cent fare will be
.put in operation that suits will be
filed.
The statement from the roads fol-
lows:
“The undersigned railway companies
announce that they propose to put into
effect, under protest, on October 5,
1907, and maintain the same, pending
litigation, the two cent fare passenger
rate as recently ordered by you, and
prior to putting the same into effect
propose to file suits in the courts chal-
lenging the said rate.”
Governor Hoch issued a statement
in which lie said the railroad commis-
sioners had prepared a new freight
rate schedule and would, In a short
time, order it into effect.
This schedule, it is understood,
makes a big reduction.
in case of a two cent fare becoming
operative in Kansas, Oklahoma can
enter a demand for a two cent fare, as
the original charters of most of the
roads guaranteed as cheap a lare as In
the states surrounding.
MORE JOINTS RAIDED
Squad of Deputies Spilling Booze In
Territory
MUSKOGEE: A squad of five dep-
uties, under William E. Johnson, raid-
ed every one of the so-called beer
joints in Okmulgee Monday and spill-
ed all of the beer in town. A whole-
sale house here distributes Hiawatha
and another distributes Pablo at Ok-
mulgee, and all the goods in both
wholesale houses were destroyed.
Thousands of bottles of the low
grade of bear were spilled. Another
squad of deputies operating in Wag
oner cleaned that town out -of low
grade beer. Thousands of bottles
were destroyed.
At Coweta the Uno joints were raid-
ed and the goods destroyed. In ad-
dition to beer, fifteen cases of whisky
were captured at Coweta, in each
case the owner of the joint was plac-
ed tinder arrest. There are about
30 of these joints in Muskogee and it
is expected that Johnson will raid
them.
FILES AMENDED CHARTER
Oklahoma City Railway Preparing to
Build Interurban Lines
GUTHRIE: Evidence that the Ok-
lahoma Ciiy Railway company intends
to build its proposed Interurban lines
from Oklahoma City to Guthrie, Nor-
man and Yukon was furnished by the
company filing a number of amended
charters with the territorial secretary
to enable the company to extend its
line from Britton to Guthrie and other
points.
The company has just completed its
interurban line to Britton and is run-
ning cars from Oklahoma City to that
point and the grade is rapidly beinr
extended towards Guthrie. The name
o. the company is changed to the Ok
lahoma Railroad company, total mile
age increased from tweivo to 125 and
the capitalization from $2,000,000 to
$6,000,000. Provision is also made for
an additional line starting at Choctaw
City and running west through Okla
homa City to Yukon.
Want Youths in Reformatory
GUTHRIE: Fred Elkins, assistant
attorney general, has gone to Topeka,
Kan., for another conference with
Governor Hoch regarding the plan,
under formation for several months
of placing Oklahoma’s youthful con-
victs in the Kansas state reformatory
at Hutchinson instead of in the Lan-
sing penitentiary.
TO HAVE ANOTHER TRIAL
Youth Who Slew His Uncle to Be
Tried Again
TULSA: District Attorney Mel-
lette has announced that Frank Ruth-
erford, a degenerate, aged 14, who is
accused of murdering Shelley Ellis,
his uncle, must stand a second trial.
The jury in this case announced that
no agreement c- uld be reached, after
being out nearly 24 hours.
The district attorney says it will
be safer for the public to have a boy
like young Rutherford, who apparent-
ly is a degenerate, placed in 'confine-
ment.
The boy has confessed to the crime.
He says he slew his uncle to get a
sum of money he knew him bo have
had with him. The murder took place
at the home of Eliis, with whom
young Rutherford was living at the
time, a few mli.-s north of Collins
ville. He killed his relative with an
axe as he luy usleep.
Teli and act the truth and tear no
evil.
FORCED TO STOP WORK
OKLAHOMA CITY: The Missouri,
Kansas and Texas Railway company
has discontinued the construction
work between Kansas City and Shaw-
nee thnt has been In progress since
the opening of spring. The reason
stated is that the Increase! shipment*
cf grain, lumber and cotton make It
necessary to place all tho aval labia
engines and roiling stock In opera-
tion, causing a delay of thu construc-
tion work.
Trust Company Quits Banking
MUSKOGEE: The Canadian Valley
Bank and Trust company has sold Us
banking business to the Associated
Banks of Muskogee and has quit the
bankiug department of its business.

MOTTO OF “GET RICH-QUICK"
MEN AND FAKIRS.
HOW SCHEMES ARE WORKED
Desire to Get “Something for Noth-
ing" Is Played Upon—Exercise
of Common Sense Would
End Graft.
"You can fool some of tho people
part of the time, but you can fool oth-
ers all the time," seems to be a motto
of the get-rich-quick men and “gold
brick” operators. Pages of the daily
and weekly press may be tilled with
warnings to readers to be on the look-
out for swindlers, yet many who are
credited with intelligence will keep
right on biting at baits thrown out to
them by various concerns who sell
‘ cats In bags."
Psychologists say that every person
has a weak spot somewhere in the
brain. It seems that this softness Is
commonly manifested in false reason-
ing that frequently one can get some-
thing for nothing. Understanding this
desire on part of the majority, the
fakirs bait their hooks accordingly.
There are large concerns which have
built up great enterprises by repre-
senting to the people that with each
bill of goods purchased the buyer
gets "something for nothing."
Just think of a "graft” like this
that will draw $1,800 worth of soap or-
ders in a single month from a town
of 10,000 people! Hut this it just
what has been done within the past
few months. Just think of wives of
grocers and dry goods merchants in
large cities joining "soap clubs" and
paying a dollar each mouth to a for-
eign concern just to secure a pre-
mium, while their husbands could
supply them at half the cost, all the
soap and the premium too! Yet
such is the drawing power of "the
something for nothing" argument. If
the Creator gave these women com-
mon sense, they little know how to
utilize it.
Some means should be devised to
tax directly or indirectly the con-
cerns In foreign cities that seek to
do business directly with consumers
through the mails. At present they
are protected by the interstate com-
merce law. These concerns make
their money by dealing with the peo-
ple of some community, where they
pay no taxes direct or license fees.
The merchants of the town are
taxed upon the business they do. Is
this proposition a fair one? The for-
eign insurance companies doing busi-
ness in a state must pay a license fee
for so doing. Why not compel the
foreign mercantile concern to do the
same? Our national laws should be
so constructed as to provide that
there he a tax on the amount of busi-
ness transacted in a state by any
mercantile concern in another state,
unless the business he transacted by
concerns which pay taxes within the
state for the doing of such business.

FOR GREATER ECONOMY.
Manufacturing Drifting Closer to
Fie'lds Where Raw Material Is
Produced.
Economy in every industry is be-
coming more pronounced year after
year. Manufacturing centers are drift-
ing toward locations where the raw
materials can be secured at lower
cost. During the past ten years cot-
ton manufacturing in the south has
increased more than a hundred per
cent., and there has been a decrease
in the production of textile manufac-
turing centers in the New England
states In proportion to the Increase in
consumption. A score of years ago
the great flour manufacturing centers
were in New York and other eastern
states. To-day the west controls man-
ufactures of flour and cereal foods.
When mills are located in centers of
wheat and corn producing sections in
number sufficient to utilize the crops
of local territory, it will work a bene-
fit to the farmers of the land In the
saving of what is now paid in freight
rates or raw products to manufactur-
ing centers, and the distribution cost
to consumers of the land. Every farm-
er can help better conditions and help
himself by giving his support, to local
manufacturing enterprises.
An Advertising Trick.
Every reader of newspapers who
has the power of observation knows
the deception practiced In advertis
1ng. Often a fine picture of a stove
or some other article has in large
figures a price given which Is a third
of what the real worth of the article
is, and the rest of the advertisement,
so skillfully worded as to give tHe im-
pression that it is the article Ulus
trated that is Bent for the low price.
This Is for the purpose of securing
an order for an article which, when
received is found to be far different
from what the person who sent the
order expects to receive. How would
the home merchant fare should he
advertise in the same manner? Would
he not be placed on the list of trick-
sters?
Building Up Trusts.
During the past ten years billions
of dollars have been sent to the large
cities by the residents of rural com
munitiea, and these billions have been
used In building up trusts that work
against the best interests of the
masses who reside In agricultural sec-
tions. Is it not time to awaken to
the dangers of sending money away
from the home towns?
Efforts to cheapen cost of produc-
tion of numerous classes of goods and
to place them on the market in com-
petition with well advertised lines.
a\<2 at much lower price, has Influ-
enced not too honest manufacturers
to turn out very inferior articles. So
long as they can be made attractive
in exterior appearance so as to please
those whoso tastes are for the
“showy" seems to b* the only consid
eration. In the manufacture of stoves
and ranges particularly is there great
opportunity for fraud. In different
cities of the middle west are large
concerns that make a specialty of
manufacturing stoves to supply deal
ers who depend on cheapness to se-
cure sales. These manufacturers buy
from junk dealers all classes of old
iron, and tills remelted and worked
over enters largely into their manu-
factured articles. The result is that
a stove is produced that while it ap
pears to he all right, a few months’
use will prove It to be almost worth-
less. The tensile strength is uot
there, the metal is rotten and brittle,
and the expansion caused by the heat
makes it warp and crack. The linings
are of the poorest material.
One of the tricks employed is the
use of old sheet iron for lining
Throughout the south and in many of
the large northern cities the manu-
facture of artificial ice is extensively
carried on. Galvanized iron cans of
the capacity of a 300-pound ice-cake
are used, and in every large plant
thousands of cans are in use. The
ammonia that is used in the process
of freezing soon causes the cans to
corrode, and then they are rendered
useless for the purpose required. The
stove manufacturing concerns buy up
these discarded cans, and use them
for lining stoves. It can be judged
that the life of the stove in this way
is shortened, hut as the stoves are
never intended to last long, the lining
is as good as the other material
whieh entertfv into their composition.
In appearance these stoves are all
that can he desired, but their wearing
and durable qualities are not half that,
of a properly made stove should be.
They are often sold at as high prices
as the best article, hut more frequent-
ly are disposed of as “big bargains,"
and are dealt in extensively by con
corns that advertise themselves as
“manufacturers," and do business “di-
rect with the consumers” through tho
mails. Makers of stoves who put out
brands of goods known to be standard
never resort, to such methods, as one
inferior stove might result in the loss
of a dozen sales, and no reputable
stove dealer or hardware merchant
would handle the goods.

HOME NEWSPAPERS.
Are Factors in the Enlightenment of
the People.
This is an era when the business
man who would succeed must place
tlie right value upon publicity. This
is the most enlightened era the world
has ever known. Only a small per-
centage of the people, particularly
among the English speaking, cannot
read and write, and in fact it is a rare
thing to find an illiterate person in
any American community.
In every farmer’s house can be
found from one to a dozen newspa-
pers and periodicals.
The old style farmer Is fast passing,
and there Is a general admission that
intelligence, in fact scientific training
is needed on the farm as well as in
the business house and factory. Wit^
telephones, daily rural delivery serv-
ice and every innovation of civiliza-
tion, the American farmer is fast be-
coming noted among the educated and
advanced classes. They are readers,
thinkers and logicians. Growing gen
orations in agricultural communities
have all the advantages that the youth
of cities have, and few of the disad
vantages They surely breathe u
healthier moral atmosphere. The
farmers are the main support of the
country press. They feel interested
in all local affairs, and the home pa
per is the means of keeping them in-
formed of things going on immediate-
ly about them. if the average mer-
chant would give as substantial sup
port to the home paper as does the
farmer, the editor would not only be
enabled to give the fanner a better
paper, represent his Interests better,
but the merchant would receive a ben
eflt In seeing his town Improve and
its business increased, and all his
environments Improved.
Millions Are Lost Annually.
Fifty millions of dollars annually is
a conservative estimate of the amount
that the people of the United States
are swindled out of through the opera
tlon of fraudulent investment and in-
surance concerns.
How easily people are influenced to
make investments in questionable con-
cerns. has been recently strongly il-
lustrated through the operations of
the different alleged cooperative mer-
cantile, home-building and investment
schemes which have been declared
fraudulent by the postal authorities.
It is during the times of prosperity
that the schemers find the richest
field. People who never had the hand
ling of much money, and who find in
their possession a few hundreds of
dollars, just have enough for the
' taste” of wealth bo that they are
easy victims for the sharpers who op-
erate fake” enterprises which hold
out alluring promises of great re-
; turns on small investments. Stats
laws for the control of such concerns
should be stringent, and severe pun-
ishment meted to those who operate
them.
