T, Jan, 12.— Ten Irdians were arrested and placed in the Federal jail here to-day on suspicion of having killed Douglass Allen near Atoka last week. A party of hunters composed of Douglass Allen, Horace Allen and John Scarberry, all white men, were camping in the woods, trapping game. A bard of Indians visited thelr camp and demanded guns and game in cxchange for hogs which the Indians accused the hunters of having stolen from them. An altercation arose and Ellis Carnes, a col- lege bred Indlan, dealt Douglass Allen a terrific blow on the head with a rifie and shot Horace Allen in the hand. The latter, with Scarberry, fled amid a rain of bullets from the Indians. They went to Atoka L S Y ) twenty minutes. Bryan and Nadine, high class comedy acrobats; the Clark sisters, singars and dancers: Joe and Sadie Brit- ton, the clever colored couple, and new moving pictures completed an excellent programme, The big theater is now thor- oughly heated with radiators, an im- provement greatly appreciated by Chutes patrons.

While the man with the gun crowd covered, his companion jump - hind the bar and made for the cash reg- ister. At the same mom: Henike made a wild dash through a side door. The burglar with the gun immediately fired a shot at the fleeing form of the bartender and the bullet barely missed its mark, lodging in the woodwork near the door. This created a stampede and the robbers, seeing that heir plans were thwarted, lost no time in making a hasty exit and are still at large. Officers vlor, Berry and Tierney heard the shot and arrived at the scene of trouble a few minutes later. They fc lowed up every possible clew, but without success. The officers submitted a report to Captain of Detectives Martin and he detailed Detectives Gibson and Bell on the case, but so far they have been unable to trace the thieves. Joseph Boden, E. Mercy. John Lough- ran, D. M. Schaffer, Louls Gerlach, M Schneider and J. Schneider were in the | saloon at the time. All agree in their descriptions of the robbers. The man who held the gun was about 5 feet 9 inches height and welghed about 175 pounds. His companion is described as a man of about 5 feet 7 inches tall, of frail build and had the appearance of an opium flend. Both men wore slouch hats and black hand- kerchiefs over their faces. | THIRD APPEARANCE OF EDWARD MacDOWELL | Distinguished Musician Fits Per- fectly Into San Francisco Mu- sical Atmospher The third anpe Dowell. the American took place last evening at § He was assisted by Mrs. M . Blanchard, the singer. The concert, like the two previous, was of a very high class, ana ' was masterly and well- patronized triumph. The distinguished musiclan seems to have had little diffi- culty in fitting himself per: y into the San Francisco musical atmosphere, and the friendliness and appreclation de- servedly shown for his work was very marked. While Mr. MacDowell is ap- parently of a very finely drawn. nervous | temperament, it is not apparent in his playing. The applause was generous, but he modestiy refrained from repeti- tions or encores, and simply beamed with pleasure at the splendid recognition of | his songs as rendered by Mrs. Blanchard. | She, in turn, delicately shared the ap- plause bestowed upon her by insisting that Mr. MacDowell rise from the piano and bow his acknowledgments with her. The beautiful “Moonlight sonata prov- ed the artist to be a close student of | Beethoven, the glistening, rythmic legato in the opening adagio proving deep- iv beautiful. The allegretto was spright- | Iy and well phrased. and the great presto in the finale taken with a sweep that was irresistible. The “Elfin Dance” was a delicious little number, that is admirably | named, and “A Wild Re dainty bit | of perfumed melody. The stately “Sara- | bande,” by Loeilby, with its remarkable, shadowlike melody, following the motif, i a test in Interpretation, and was well handled Mr. MacDowell gets into an atmosphere so far above mere technique that the lat- ter is lost sight of and is simply felt as a means to an end. His playing is threaded with a strong personal mag- netism, and withal, is broad and thor- ocugkly legitimate, with a sincere hancling of the score. Mrs. Blanchard's singing was in every way charming, and seemed particularly fit for the handling of the delicate bits, of song left to her care. Her voice is of a splendidly thick contraito quality, and rourded out a concert that should be a milestone to those present Following Is the program: 1 Coura 1 Prelud § Bach Saraba 1 § Loeilby | 55 b s Sonate, Op. 27, No. 2 Beethoven | IL Songs— Sunrise THE Be% . ..oooisovans TRy The Robin Eings in the Apple Tree. | MacDowell A Maid Sings Light Deserted Mrs. M.

An invitation having been extended to Major Bush, command- ing the battalion. to send a representation from his battalion, he detafled seventy men under command of Captain W. N Swasey, with W. A. Varney and J. A. Eason as lieutenants, to report to Colonel Seymour, commanding the escort at the capital. The detachment left the city on Wednesday, and on reporting was as- signed to the right of the Third Battalion. Tts appearance was somewhat of a sur- prise to the military escort, as arrange- ments were not made until late on Tues- day evening for the battalion to be repre- sented. Captain F. A. Nippert has tendered his resignation as commander of Battery A. A sergeant major will shortly be ap- pointed to succeed C. F.

Any honest person who suffers from RBheumatism Is welcome to this offer. 1 am a specialist in Rheumatism, and have treated more cases than any other physician, I think. For 16 years I mads 2000 experiments with different drugs, testing all known remedies while search- ing the world for something better. Nine years ago I found a costly chemical in Germany which, with my previous dis- coveries, gives me a certain cure. 1 don’'t mean that it can turn bony joints into flesh again; but it can cure the disease at any stage, rorng)letely and torever. 1 have done it tully 100,000 times. 1 know, this so well that I will furnish my remedy on trial. Simply write me a postal for my book on Rheumatism, and I will mail you an order on your drug- gist for six bottles Dr. Shoop's Rheu. matic Cure, Take it for a month at My risk, 1f it succeeds, the cost is only $550. If it fails, I will pay the druggist myself—and your mere word shall de- cide it. 1 mean that exactly. If you say the results are not what I claim, I don’t ex- pect a penny from you. 1 have no samples. Any mere mpls | that can afféct chronic Rheumatism must be drugged to the verge of danger. 1 use no such drugs, and it is folly to take them. You must get the disease out of the blood. My remedy dces that even in the most difficult, obstinate cases. It has cured the oldest cases that 1 ever met. And in all my experience—in all my 2000 tests—[ never found another remedy that would cure one chronic case in ten. Write me and I will send you the order. Try my remedy for a month. as it can't harm you any way. If it fails, it s free. ‘Address Dr. Shoop, box 630, Racine, Wis. Mild cases, not chronic, are often cured by one or two bottles.
