Posses are Following the Bandits. Anadarko, Ok., Jan, 15 —Outlaws “held up” and robbed several farm- ers living west of town. Later in the evening they came and reported the robberies to the sheriff. Early this morning sheriff Frank Smith took two of his deputies, George Beck and William Briggs, and started in pur- -suit. After traveling about seven miles southwest they came to an un- occupied Indian house on the allot- I f White Buffalo, where they ing that their men were there they disnyounted and made a rush to the hogse, intending to take the outlaws bY surprise. The outlaws ran to the ack door and toward their horses, but were driven back by the depu- ties. There was a fight in which some fifty shots were fired. The ofticers held their ground until they had emptied their guns. Sheriff Smith was shot, the bullet ranging down- ward and out over the right kidney. He staggered to his deputies and after shouting, ‘Bill, I’m shot, give »._it to em,” fell down and died. The two deputies, after emptying their weapons, decided to withdraw until they could reload. At a distance of 150 yards Beck crouched behind a post and a roll of barbed wire. The outlaws fired on him with their Win- chesters, breaking his right arm, shattering the stock of his rifle and shooting him through the right lung. PA He changed his gun to his left side, Same e-em mgto 1d the magazine until he found himself growing weak from loss of blood. Meanwhile Briggs helped him to a small ridge, where he lay down and died. The outlaws fired several shots at the remaining deputy, one of which ripped his overcoat across the back ashelay face down. About this time another posse of deputies rode up. Hearing the shooting, they started to investigate. The robbers who had taken the sheriff's revolver, railroad passes and purse, dismount- ed and another battle was fought at a six hundred yard range. It lasted about ten minutes. The officers re- treated a short distance and the out- laws rode away, leading the two remaining horses of the sheriff's fosse, one being killed in the fight. ndian police were sent to search for ie OUTTAWS aa ed posses nave started trom Anadarko—in—pursuit: One of the abandoned horses wore a sn te then Indian dealer, and this clue will be pushed by local officers.

Guthrie, Okla., January 15.—In the Oklahoma supreme court to-day Chief Justice Buford handed down an opinion holding that the county must provide a separate school house and a teacher in every district jn the county where it may be asked, ») matter if there is but one colored ehild of school age in the district. The decision was given in a case from a district in Mulhall township, where a colored citizen has three children of school age, but no facul- ties provided him for giving his chil- dren an education. The township, backed by the county ‘has carried the question to the Okla- } homasupreme court. This opinion is one of much importance over the territory, as it will increase the taxes in every county where there are ne- It also effectually settles the question of any colored child attend- ing white schools in Oklahoma.

But- ler, organist of Trinity Cathedral and a musician of nete, was married to Mrs. John Shoemaker, divorced wife of a justice of the peace, and the couple enjoy the blessing of the for- mer husband, who was best man at the nuptials. Butler had lived with the Shoe- makers for 16 years, and had been looked upon by them as their son. Mrs. Shoemaker found her husband's tastes incompatible with hers, how- ever, and sued for divorce, which she gained by default. “T wanted her to get the divorce,” said Shoemaker. “She is one of the finest women who ever ‘lived, but we could not agree.” Then the platonic friendship which had existed between Mrs. Shoemaker and the young physician ripened into a warmer feeling, and Shoemaker promptly turned matchmaker. A sudden illness of the organist precip{- tated the romance and they were married, “Butler is as fine’a man as Mrs, Shoemaker is a woman,” Shoemaker said philosophically. “They have my moat fervent blessing.” Dryest Winter in 25 Years. Emporia, Kas., Jan. 17.—Farmers say that this is the dryest winter ex- perienced here in 25 years.

The six acre pond on that place has been dry for four months. Wells that have never fail- ed are getting alarmingly low. The supply behind the city water works dam will last the town about three weeks and the water works commit- tee of the council have taken meas- ures to restrict the use of it. Alarge amount of winter wheat is in a con. dition to cause anxiety. Tiny Baby Puzzles Doctors.

The liability to disease is greatly lessened when the blood is in good con- dition, and the circulation healthy and vigorous. For then all refuse matter is promptly carried out of the system ; otherwise it would rapidly accumulate —fermentation would take place, the blood become polluted and the consti- tution so weakened that a simple malady might result seriously.

THE SWIFT SPECIFIC CO., ATLANTA, GA, Washington, Jan, 15,—-Seventy- five hundred medals ts the estimate made by the Navy department offi- cials of the number of tokens of rec- ognition which are to be ordered for the officers and men who participat- ed in the West Indian naval cam- paign of the Spanish-American war. A West Indian campaign medal will be given to every officer and man who was in that campaign. The naval board on awards has been en- gaged in deciding upon a number of engagements to be singled out for special commemoration, participa- tion in whieh will mean an extra bar foreach person, to be attached to the West Indian campaign medal. The battle of Santiago Bay heads the list of these and the board has decided upou the following other en- gagements which in its opinion, merit special distinction: Cienfuegos, Car- denas, Santiago cable cutting expedi- tion, three fights at Manzanilla and Nipe bay Driving Out the Enemy.
