No common back door cat this, bat one that must be burled with nil honor. The question was how and where. Rome one proposed cremation, but this was rejected on the ground that it sounded too much liko lynching. It was finally proposed that the father, who had to cross a ferry every day t his place of business, should drop it overboard, and as a burial at sea rather appealed to the sentimental attitude of the family this Idea was received favorably. The following morning the remain Of the cat were made Into a package and securely tied. It was a lovely day. and the ferry bont was crowded with passengers, and what had seemed so simple at home assumed unexpected difficulties in the face of a curious crowd, ready to Imagine anything and to put the worst construction on. an apparently mysterious action. Finally It occurreJ to the father thai the best t!mo would be the evening, and he could slip the cat overboard without attracting nollee in the dusk Through the day It occupied a corner of his office, and he was glad when the time came for tbi return trip. He waited until the boat was well out In the stream ami then, glancing around furtively, laid his band on the package. Suddenly It struck him what would Eem strange In broad daylight would seem doubly so at night. With a smothered groan he replaced It on the seat beside him. There wa no help for it he would have to carry t home again. As he took his seat in the train that was to convey him the rest of the way lie placed the cat on the shelf above his head and for the first timo that day forgot all alout it. Hurrying te get off the car when he reached his destination, he was halted by some one behind him. who thrust into his hand Ihe 111 fated package. When he reached his house he threw It down on a chair In thf hall and went in to supper. In the middle of It the maid came in and asked how she should cook the meat he had brought with him?" Meat!" he exclaimed. "That ln't meat ! It's"But at this moment the maid produced the package and showed him a choice piece of moat. History does not say what the man said who got the cat. Ne-r?

MINIATURE CYCLONE VISITED TNE SOUTH PORTION OF CITY

Visitation Occurred Wednesday Afternoon and Wreck And Ruin Were Left in Wake Of the Warring Elements. BARN WAS PICKED UP AND PUT IN NEW PLACE. It Is Estimated That the Damage Done to Property in The Path of the Storm Amounts to $1,500. A miniature cyclone romped through the south part of the city Wednesday afternoon about 2.h o'clock, spreading wreckage and ruin in its wake. The cyclone first swooped down on the large lumber pile at the Starr piano company, where planks and posts were hurled right and left, knocking out window panes and causing other havoc. After creating this confusion at the piano works the festive cyclone continued on its southward trip, makiryg the next stop near the corner of South Sixth and E streets. There it pounced upon the Bowing grocery store, smashing window panes, then hurling itself on the barn in the hear of the home of Joseph Reese, which is near the grocery store. The cyclone gathered up the barn from its foundation, hurled it across the alley and then dropped it with a thud in the back yard of the home of Matt Miller. Roof Was Ripped Off. The roof of the barn was ripped completely off and distributed about the Miller property in three or four parts. The four sides of the barn were left intact, but they are badly damaged. When the cyclone jerked the barn from its foundations it also gathered up an out house, and it was also deposited in the Miller yard. There was no stock in the barn when the cyclone struck it, but all the contents in the building were distributed far and near. After transplanting the Reese barn the sportive cyclone jumped over the Miller home and continued on its way until the home of Garrett Witte on South Ninth street near J street, was reached. Here the cyclone swooped down on Mr. Witte's fruit trees, splitting one and knocking down several others. Residents along the route taken by the cyclone, were terrified by its actions, but are thankful that it created no more havoc than it di. It is estimated that the damage done by the cyclone will amount to over $l,r00. THE CITY IN BRIEF THURSDAY NIGHT EVENTS. Sol Meredith post G. A. R. meets. Elks will meet. Osceola Red Men meet.

LINE FENCE AGAIN CAUSEOF TROUBLE Otis Thornburg Arrested for Assault.

WM. N0RTHCUTT PLAINTIFF Otis thornburg. a farmer, was arrested Wednesday evening by Sheriff Meredith on a charge of assault and battery on Will Northcutt, his neighbor. The trouble arose over a line fence which runs under a bridge across the Martindale creek. Mr. Thornburg stretched the wires across the creek a few days ago to keep his cattle from fording the creek onto Mr. Northcutt's farm. Wednesday the creek went on a rampage, owing to the hard rain and Mr. Xorthcutt decided to cut the fence to allow the drift accumulated on the wires to float down the creek. Mr. Xorthcutt claimed that so much drift had accumulated that the creek was over running his land. When Mr. Thornburg learned of what his neighbor had done he entered a remonstrance with him. Heated words followed and then Mr. Thorn burg struck Mr. Xorthcutt an uppercut, breaking his nose. Mr. Thornburg claims that this is the only blow he struck, but Xorthcutt claims that he hit him three times in the face. Thornburg has given $K bond for his appearance. The Thorn on the Rose.

THE WAV TKEY DO IT III GOLDEN WEST J. F. Reeves Tells Palladium Readers of a Fourth of July Celebration.

WAS AT GUYM0N, OKLA. THAT HUSTLING LITTLE CITY HAD A WHOLE LOT DOING ON THE ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATION'S BIRTH. Editor of the Falladium: On my return to Chicago, after trip into Western Oklahoma, I found The Palladium of the fifth awaiting me. and on the first page 1 noticed that "other places get Richmond's money, no attractions at home on the Fourth." Richmond should emulate home of th new towns and get a move on. The writer spent the glorious Fourth in Guymon. Oklahoma, away out in what formerly was known as "No Man's Iand." Here is a hustling little city of about i,7Tt population, with all modern improvements, water works, fine school buildings and good hotels, now commencing three miles of concrete sidewalks all lines of business well represented, yet room for more. A hustling 'Commercial club" putting up the cash for a good old-fashioned Fourth of July, not only one day, but two. Baseball games, processions, fire-works and "roping" and riding contests. These latter are especially Interesting; they turn the "cow critters" loose from the corral one at a time and It is up to the designated rider to see how quickly he can "rope" and "hogtie" the animal. The chase Is on the open prairie where more than two thousand spectators were gathered. When the pursued and thoroughly frightened "critter" rushed in among horsemen, women, buggies, wagons and baby carts with the rope around Its neck and the cowboy trying to throw it, there was certainly "something doing." The best time made In roping and throwing and "hogtlcing" was ."S seconds. This sport was followed by "steer rid ing," where a saddle was cinched onto a steer stretched on the ground, a rider astride, the steer turned loose and then the fun began, bawling and buck-Jumping through the crowd, which wisely scattered as promptly as possible, as the uncontrolled animal tooK its way. The "critter" bawling at many stabs of the spurs, the crowd yelling, women screaming, mules and horses In a panic made up a lively Fourth of July scene which had a "Wild West Show" beaten to a standstill. All was free as air, of which I here is an ample supply d' the best quality on these broad, fertile plains. Old Glory waived from a tall staff over ad, and it sure was "good to be thar." That is the way they do things anything to keep things lively, an example which mignt be worthy of following by some older towns. Yours very truly, J. F. REEVES.
