T., Jan. 14.—Wesley Barnett, the most noted deperado of the Indian territory, was killed | by Indian Police Wallace MeNac, | near the residence of John S. Porter, five miles east of Okmulgee, last Saturday night about 9 o'clock. For years the Barnett boys had defied all law and ridden over the! western portion of the Creek county | committing the most atrocious mur- | ders ever known in the Indias terri-| tory. Some eight months ago, Bar-| nett killed deputy United States Mar- | shal Phillips and a companion near Eufala, but John Barnett was also | killed. Wesley went to a neighbor- | ing house where a dance was in | progress and made the parties har | nese up ateam and haul his dead brother home and threatened to | shoot the first man that faltered. | Since the murder he had roamed at | will going wherever he pleased in| the neighborhood and had frequent- | ly sent word to the officers that they could find him whenever they wante ed to. During the late session of | the Muskogee council he walked into the senate while in ses- sion and openly defied any one to arrest him. Some six weeks ago the law abiding citizens of the | imittee and determined to rid the country of the Barnett gang at no | matter what cost. They rounded | Barnett up near Tulusa in a log cab- jin, and after he had been fired at ; over a hundred times he eseaped— |not, howeyer, until he had killed | Mose McIntosh, a prominent Creek | statesman, and wounded two others. | McNac had been lying in ambush for Barnett for two days and seeing him go into a house on Porter's place he concealed himself near by ;and the moment Barnett came out MeNac emptied both barrels of his | shot gun, loaded witn buckshot, into jhis body. The entire Creek nation breathes easier to-night than for some time past. Call for Immigration Consention. Curntox, Mo, Jan. 10th., 1889.

One morning he told the lad to go and salt the calf over in the pasture. The boy took about a quart of salt, rubbed it all over the calf, working it into the hair. A gang of colts in the pust- ure scented the salt and got after the calf. They licked the hair all off the calf’s back and tried to lick the hide off too. The farmer tried to catch the calf to wash it, but the poor creature thinking he wanted to lick too, kept out of his way. The boy, calf and the farmer are all un- happy. The colts are the only ones that got any fun out of it.—Rock- ville Star. Plenty of six per cent money to loan. Privilege of paying part or all at any time before maturity and stop interest. 39 tf.
