A (laugh Rider Convicted.
Dan Russell, of Goodland, a Choc-
taw Indian, was convicted Monday
of introducing and selling liquor.
Ho volunteered with the Rough
Riders and fought in two of the
battles near Santiago. On the back
of his discharge is the statement
that he was a true aud brave soldier.
He was within twenty feet of Capt.
(’apron when he was killed. There
are numerous other interesting in-
cidents in his career. He was too
poor to employ an attorney to de-
fend him, and at the request of the
guards aud prisoners at the jail, W.
W. Wallis, Esq., undertook the de-
fense and made a hard fight for hitn
but all to no purpose. The evidence
was all circumstantial but it was
convincing to the jury. To Russell
there was glory in war, but in peace
victory was against him.—South
McAlester Capital.
Claremure Roller Mill.
G. W. Duncan of Muskogee took
charge of the Claremore Roller Mill
this week and will have entire
control in the future.
The partnership hitherto existing
has been dissolved, Mr. Philip Land
retiring, and the Claremore Roller
Mill will be the name of the firm.
•Mr. Duncan is a practical miller
of wide experience aud for several
years has been connected with the
mills at Muskogee. The new com-
pany will no doubt be very prosper-
ous under his management, for his
name will be a guaranty of the pro-
duct of the mill.
Mr. G. F. Williams, also of Mus-
kogee, will be bookkeeper for the
firm, and Mr. M. D. Woodson of
Claremore will travel in its interest.
There may be better locations in
the Territory for such an institution
but at this writing they have not
been discovered.

struck the residence of George B.
Keeler. Fortunately no one was
hurt. The family had just retired
for the night when tile crash came,
entering through a west window in
the room in which Bert and Fred
Keeler and Bruce Cass lay chatting
before going to sleeji. Just as Bert
remarked to Fred that he had better
close the window and shut out the
draft, a ball of fire appeared in the
room knocking Fred from the bed
and causing general confusion

able ore and sand mines. Although
the place is over ■ century old, its in*

are mostly well-to-do, and ever since
the establishment of the village the
lands have passed from one generation
to another and very seldom has it been
that these handed-down properties
have gone out of the family possession.

It is a well-known fact that the late
Baron James Rothschild was on excel-
lent terms with Balzac, the famous
French novelist, who dedicated to him
several of his books. One day when he
was about to proceed to Germany and
being, as was often the case, in rather
j straitened circumstances, Balzac ap-
plied to the baron, who, with his ha-
bitual generosity, handed him the sum
of 3,000 francs, and at the - mie time ■
letter of introduction, addressed to his
nephew in Vienna. The letter was un-
sealed. as is usual In such cases. Bal-
zac read it, thought its tone rather
cool, trivial and altogether inadequate.
He scorned to deliver It, and returned
to Paris with the autograph in his
pocket. On hie arrival he waited upon
the great banker.
“Well,” said the baron, "did you see
my nephew?”
Balzac coldly confessed that he h*4
kept the letter.
“I am sorry for your sake.” said the
baron; "have you it by you?”
“Why certainly; h«re it is."
“Do you observe this little mark be-
low the signature? It gave you an
open credit on our Vienna bank to tha
extent of 25,000 francs."
Balzac bit his lips.
