NO 1 Blalack's Store Robbed. Last Monday night the store of J. H. Blalaok was broken into and quite a lot of groceries stolen. The robbery was discovered Tuesday morning by J.W.

Weaver who at onoe began an investigation. He said the foot prints indicated that there were three men implicated in the theft. The interior of the store showed thai some one had been eating canned goods and bananas and they must have became alarmed and fled as a few sacks of groceries were left silting on the counter. Mr. Weaver Baid he noticed footprints leading to a seed house at the MoDole gin.

He followed them up aud discovered Claude Ford Ijing on the cotton seed asleep. He at once notified the authorities who went and placed Ford uuder arrest. When searched, a piece of tobacco and some bluing was found on his person. Hid away in the cotton seed was found a number of articles and several pieces of money of small cents in all. The money was identified by Mrs.

Blalaok who had had charge of the store on Monday. Only about one-third of the goods' missing was found in the seed house. Later it was discovered that a box car had beeu broken into the same night and two or three quarts of whisky stolen. Ford admits breaking into the car but said he did not have anything to do with robbing the Btore. He is being held for further developments.

Two Runaways Yesterday. Two runaways occurred yesterday morning which were lively enough while they lasted but came to an abrupt end without any serious damage. The first run occurred about nine o'clock when Dr. J. F.

Fox left his team standing unhitched in the street to go into his office. The team started off at a walk but had not gone a half block until they were going at full speed. At Kniseley Bros, drug store they turned and ran east to the Doctor's. deuce then into the' street south where the buggy collided with the fence and a tree and was left a mass of ruin. The horses ran on to the Doctor's barn.

The second run occurred about an hour later. Koscoe Brownfield's horse became frightened at a frieght engine standing near the Main street crossing and before Mr. Brownfield hardly realized what was occurring, the horse dashed across the tracks and running east at a teriflio gait. He fiually stopped the horse near the residence of W. A.

Ray without any damage. ORDINANCE NO. 84. An Ordinance entitled an Ordinance, providing tor the appointment of a Town Marshal, fixing his. compensation, and tenure in office.

behold there was a great earthquake; for the angel of the Lord decended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. countenance was like lightning and His raiment white as snow. for fear of Him the keepers did shake and become as dead men. the angel answered and said unto the women. Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek wbieh was crucified.

He is not here: -for He is risen, aa Come see the place where the Lord lay. tjo quickly, and tell His diciples that He is risen from the dead; and, behold, He goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see Him: lo, I have told you. they departed from the sepulcher with fear and great joy; and did run to bring His diciples word.

Chas. W. King received his commission as postmaster for the Muldrow postoffice and took up his duties as such last Saturday morn-' ing. Mr. King has been in the em- 1 ploy of Wolf-Mayer Mercantile Co.

for several years and is possibly one of the most widely known and best liked men in our town and it goes without saying that Postmaster King will serve the public in a manner that will be pleasing to all. C. E. Waggoner, who has had charge of the office since the death of Postmaster Bowers, has been appointed assistant postmaster and Mrs. J.

H. Parker emergency clerk, so it can readily be seen that Uncle Sam's interests here will be well cared far.

Breedlove was very agreeably surprised last Tuesday when the draymen unloaded an Ivers Pond piano at her borne. It was an Easter present presented by Mrs. C. W. Breedlove.

The ladies who attend church next Sunday evening will have either.a new hat or a new drees for display. Did you ever know a woman to attend Easter services without a new hat or a new dress? Wouldn't it be to shocking for any use if all the ministers were to announce that on next Sunday morning and night they would preach to men only. All those new Easter hats and dresses would be a "lost cause." A. A. McDole, A.L.

Shackelford and Linzy Dickey were up on the Illinois river tfie first of the week trying their luck with the finny tribe. Tuesday evening Mr.Dickey landed ten fine bass with a troll which was the best catch while they were there. Idren especially HkeKennedy's Luxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes nearly as good as maple syrup. It not only heals irritation, and allays infiamation, thereby stopping the cough, but it also moves the bowels gently and in that way drives the cold from the system. It contains no opiates.

Sold by Kniseley, Bros. Two small fires occurred in our city this week. Tuesday afternoon the residence of D. M. Hale caught on fire but was extinguished without any great amount of loss.

Yesterday morning a pan of hot grease caught on tire at the residence of W. M. Blackard but was put out with only the loss of a little wall paper and a badly disarranged room. That it pays to advertise ia evident from the fact that "James Crockett, who is in charge of the Blackard, Bethell Co. stock of goods, said that his ad in the Press and a few hand bills had increased his sales more than one half in the last two weeks.

What the Press can do for one firm it can do for another. Sunday morning in this city occurred the death of the little two.month old daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Walter death was caused frcm acute indigestion. The funeral and burial occurred in the afternoon at the Paw yard. Two weeks ago Mr.

and Mrs. MoDole, who live near Fort Gibson, brought the child to the home of Mrs. McDole's parents, Mr. and Mrs. A.

L. Shackelford, and all that loving bands and medical attention could do was done to restore the little one back to health, but to no avail.
