A stage load of passengers was some miles out from Tahlequah en route to Fort Gibson, the railroad fetation, when Levi Sanders, a desperate Cherokee character, who was on the front scat with the driver and was considerably drunk, punched the driver in the side with pistol and ordered him to hold up. He then made the passengerr. get out, and robbed them of about $70 and some jewelry. One man, a person from Texas, who declined to give his name, was shot through the breast because he had no money to give up.

The wounded man is now in Gibson in a critical condition, and may possibly recover, though he is shot entirely through the lot lung-. He was a tine-lookinsr. well dressed man. The robber then left, walking through the woods in. the direction of Tahlequah.

lie soon found a man and an Indian boy herding some cattle. He began shooting at the boy and killed him. He secured the horse the boy was riding and when he again emerged into the road, he came upon two wagons containing" two meu and some women. He shot into one of them, killing Mrs. Duncan, a lady who is connected with one of the' best families of the Cherokee nation.

Her son, Levi Duncan, was with her. He drew his pistol and shooting at Sanders as also did the man who was in the other wagon, but he was getting away on his horse when young Duncan got a Winchester from the wagon and shot the horse. Sanders was then afoot and could not escape, and he was literally shot to pieces. He was sot through the boiy several times, through the head and through the foot. "I know there is some reason back of it," declared Mi's.

Risby; "but yow are such a sensible little thing, Tessie, I can trust 3rou." The story of the girl who was working to earn a handsome dress got out in the store. It finally came to the ears of Mr. Willis Vifquaine. "Miss Maturin! I remember she to come to our house before I went to college. The old fellow left the children penniless, I understand.

The girl promised to be a rare beauty." And he took the first opportunity of walking by the lace counter, with a view of renewing his youthful acquaintance. There was quite a flutter along the aisles at the unusual visit of the handsome young proprietor of the great establishment. "Miss Maturin?" he questioned, pausing at the lace counter, and looking vainly for a yellow-haired beauty. "I am Tessie Maturin," replied the little maiden addressed. He lifted his hat.

"It must be 3Tour sister whom I recollect. She was very fair. My name is Willis Vifquaine." Tessie turned rosy, and let him hold her soft fingers a moment. "I remember you now, though I was very young when you went awaf." "May I call?" he questioned eagerly. "My aunt and Letha would be very happy to have you do so," she answered.

He did call several times to the satisfaction of Letha. Tessie noticed how impressed he was by her extraordinary charms. "He is the only man 1 ever saw who was good enough for her," she assured herself, trying to ignore a persistent little ache at her heart. "And when he sees her in the blue brocade Her idea of his absolute subjugation at sight of such a vision could not be expressed in words. At the close of her sixth week of faithful work Tessie tendered her resignation, paid for the blue brocade, and went home in triumph with the precious parcel under her arm.

She flew into the house, and laid it in Letha's hands. "Now, you shall go in style to the opening of the Cosmopolitan club!" avowed Tessie. Letha kissed her.and said she was the Arkansas City A rkHiisai City A tigiista AT ELDORADO. FLOOD club?" 'No," returned Aunt Judith. "I've no money to waste on new gowns." "But surely you do not wish me to look shabby at this very grand affair." "Wear that last new gown you got Christmas the heliotropa chiffon." "Oh that!" disdainfully.

"I've worn it half a dozen times, and chiffon does look so dreadfully mussy if it isn't fresh." Mrs. Risby rose. She was middle-aged, stout, red-faced. She wore a black alpaca dress, a lonar, old-fashioned cable of a watch-chain, and a cameo brooch the size of a' small sauce iish. "Stay at home, then," she advised.

"You forget." Letha Maturin reminded her aunt, "'that the catch of the season is. to be present. Willis Vifcxuaine is young, rich, handsome. I think his place Rosemere is one of the most beautiful in this part of the country. He has been abroad sver since he graduated.

"Oh, the second and all the others are myself." "There is no denying, my dear, that the second is very charming, indeed," laug-hed the old lady, as she took herself away.

Letha stood several minutes looking at her reflection in the long cheval glass. She nodded and smiled. Charming in truth!

His widow is here under arrest and has sent two telegrams, signing her name "Mrs. Jennie Dalton." The first went to C. H. Blivens, 1 407 Van Ness avenue, San Francisco, and read: "My husband, Bill Dalton, lies here dead. Come at once.

I want his remains sent home." The other one was addressed to Mrs. A. j. Dalton, Kingfisher, and read: "Bill Dalton here dead. Come at once if you wish to see him." Thursday afternoou a man named Wallace went to the express office and called for a package, which was given him.

He was arrested on suspicion, the package broken into and found to contain several g-allons of whisky. From him it was learned the whisky was for other people, said to be living near Elk, and from incautious remarks the officers concluded it to belong to the Daltons, the Long-view bank robbers, who were known to be in the neighborhood of Elk, a small town "twenty-fiver miles northwest of here.

Loss Hart, one of the posse, was less than thirty yards from the house and called on him to halt. For reply he tried to take aim while running and just then the Winchester of the officer spoke. The two jumps into the air were the only motions after this by the fleeing man. His pistol fell from his hand and with a groan he.

The remains were brought to this city, and when his wife was told that Bill Dalton was dead she became hysterical and almost succumbed to the shock.

Dalton was a man about five feet nine inches tall, weighed about 170 pounds and had black euriy hair; clean shaven, large head and neck and well built. He was dressed in a woolen shirt, yellow suspenders, black pants and top boots, and looked the typical outlaw. The Outlaw's Wife Talks.

In reply to questions Mrs. Dalton said: "I was born and raised in California, where I ti ret met Mr. Dalton. We were married March 14, 1SS4, in Merced county in that state, where we lived together until IS',) when he left for this country. I followed in 893, and we have remained here since that time.

"Mr. Dalton was 29 years of age and has a mother aged 60 and four brothers, Charles, Coleman, Littleton and Simon who live at present in Oklahoma Territory. We have lived with the Wallace family only a month and were in no way related to them. My people live in San Francisco, my father's residence being 1407 Van Ness avenue, and I also have two brothers and one sister living in that state." Mrs. Dalton is a blonde, intelligent, refined and cultured, and keenly feels her present position.

She is 27 years of age and has two children, the eldest, Charles, being 8 years old, while a daughter, Gracie, aged 6, is a hopeless invalid. Messrs.

Tess'le would have thought herself fully repaid as she sailed away, if it were not for a fiercely-fought fancy that seemed to her disloyal. About 11 o'clock, when she was putting fresh bows on Letha's slippers, and her aunt dozed in the corner, a ring came at the bell. Tessie opened it. Mr. Vifquaine, his unbuttoned-mackintosh displaying elaborate evening walked in.

A Singular Story. In a public address delivered in Fittsburg a few days ago, Rev. Dr. Sheldrake, of Kentucky, related these singular stories: "There was a member ot the Kentucky presbytery, whom 1 knew very well, who frequently went into a sort of walking sleep. While in this condition he would preach most eloquent sermons, but when he came out he could not remembar a word that he had said.

On one occasion a copy of the French testament was handed to him to conduct family worship at the. house of a well-known citizen of Frankfort Although utterly ignorant of the French language, he read a chapter and then commented thereon at length in Knglish. On another occasion, while in this condition, he remarked to his friends that a certain minister in Nebraska was in trouble, and that he had just written a letter to Kentucky detailing the circumstances. He then proceeded to give the contents of the letter, and his words were taken down by some one present. Two days later the letter arrived from Nebraska, and it was identical, word for word, with the one the minister had dictated while in the walking sleep." The speaker cited these instances tc show the life of the soul independent of the body, and argued therefrom the immortality of the former.
