Rich Ranchers Love Story.
Oklahoma City, O. T. (Special) D.
C. Gideon, who resides on a ranch in
the Choctaw Nation, was In the city
yesterday. In explaining how he came
Into possession of his ranch he told
a most remarkable story of his mari
tial affairs.
Thirteen years ago Mr. Gideon was
working for the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
He became tired of newspaper
soliciting and concluded to settle down
and practice medicine at Wagoner, he
hav-'.ng studied medicine hefora going
upon the road. Wagoner was then
only a station on the Missouri, Kansas
& Texas, -with but one store, which
was kept by Mr. Davis. Gideon got
considerable practice, but could collect
no cash. After remaining four or five
months he concluded to give up doc
tering, and go back to St. Louis. It
waa then Christmas time and he had
transportation into St. Louis which
waa good until the first of the year.
He was saddling the horse he had
borrowed for his practice to take it
back to its owner, preparatory to his
departure for St. Louis, when he was
called upon to visit a sick girl in a
camp nearby. He made the call and
found the girl not seriously sick. As
they sat In camp talking with her he
learned that her father was dead and
that she was In the care of a relative.
It struck him that if he were married
and keeping house he could collect
some of his accounts In vegetables,
chickens, pigs, etc., so he proposed to
the girl that they marry upon a three
months' contract.
The girl consented, and In two hours
from the time he first met her she was
Gideon's bride. He gave up his trip
and Davis, the storekeeper, fitted them
out with something to eat and gave
them two chairs from his store, with
out backs. They fitted up an old
stove that an M. K. it T. grading
outfit had thrown away.
Thus did Mr. and Mrs. Gideon start
In life. They prospered and soon were
surrounded with comforts. After liv
ing a couple of years at Wagoner Mr.
Gideon moved to St. Louis and again
went on the road. He had, some
months after marrying, discovered
that his wife was a Choctaw, being
one-eighth Indian and seven-eighths
while. As the Choctaw lands became
valuable Mr. Gideon concluded that it
would be best to remarry in conformity
to the Choctaw, laws, so that he, as
well as the wife, might share in the
distribution of tribal funds. They re
turned to the territory and set about
to get the endorsement of ten Choctaw
Indians. They were obtained and the
couple set out fifty miles across coun
How Lincoln
Bloomington, 111., (Special.) There
have been so many garbled version
of the Incident in Abraham Lincoln's
legal career In which he by an almanac
saved the life of a man charged with
murder that It is appropriate Just now
to narrate the correct one, as told by
R. W. Armstrong, a barber of Mason
City, 111., who was the son of the man
defended. The latter, who was known
as "Duff-.' Armntrong. He is very fa
miliar with the case, as but a short
time before his father, who, by the
way Is still living, had related to him
the exact facts of the affair.
In all the histories of Lincoln and in
most of the school books it Is told how
Lincoln defended Armstrong and clear
ed him by proving that the moon was
not shining when the witnesses said
It was, and that they saw the murder
committed "by the light of the moon."
The father of Duff Armstrong was
Jac Armstrong, who lived near New
Salem, and who was the leader of the
"Clary Grove" boys. He it was who
had the celebrated wrestling match
with Lincoln back of the old store at
New Salem.
Afterward they became great friends.
The home of Jack Armstrong and
of his wife, Hannah, was always open
to Lincoln, and he visited there many
times.
It was during the summer of 1H;7
that Duff Armstrong, with a number
of other young fellows, attended a
camp meeting twelve mile Svuth of
Mason City. The young fellows were
drinking, and as was the custom of
these times. Duff became Involved in a
quarrel with a companion named
Metzger one night a short distance
from the camp meeting. Duff claimed
that he struck Metzger with his fist
Just under the eye. The stories In so
many books that he used a club or
slingshot, or other weapon, he insists
are false. The next morning Metzger
was out and around, but It is pre
sumed that he caught cold in the In
jured eye. At any rate the injury af
fected his brain In some manner and
he died.
There was a great commotion as
soon as Metzger died, and it was de
clared that Armstrong and another
man had deliberately murdered him
with malice aforethought. Armstrong
waa arrested and put In Jail, Orst at
Havana and later at Beards town,
where the trial was held. At this time
Lincoln was practicing law at Spring
field. The eider Armstrong had Just died

try on horseback to secure a license
from the clerk of the nation.
When they arrived at their desti
nation they discovered that the clerk's
successor had been appointed and that
he lived fifty miles further across the
mountains. They continued their Jour
ney to the new clerk. Upon their ar
rival at the residence of the new clerk
they made known the purpose of their
visit. The clerk looked at bis copy
of the statutes, studied awhile and
shook his read He did not think he
had any authority to Uue a license
to persons already married.
The case was argued for an hour or
more, but the clerk was obdurate. He
stuck to It that he had no authority
to Issue the license. While discussing
the case Mr. Gideon spied a fiddle
stowed away under the bed. A thought
struck him.
"Do you play the fiddle?" he asked
the clerk.
"Yes, do you play?" was the quick
response.
The fiddle was brought out and Mr.
Gideon played everything he knew.
The Indian seemed greatly pleased and
insisted upon his continuing to play.
When the muslcale was over the clerk
promptly announced that he was ready
to make out the papers. Mr. Gideon
accepted the license and signed the
oath of allegiance to the Choctaw na
tion. The couple then set out to the
preacher's, three miles away. He was
at work shoeing a horse when they
arrived and they were obliged to wait
until the job In hand was finished.
The ceremony was performed by the
preacher In his blacksmith clothes,
with sleeves rolled up above his elbows
and his shirt unbuttoned. It was 9
o'clock before they were ready to start
on their return Journey and they had
great difficulty In finding a place to
stay over night.
As soon as Mr. and Mrs. Gideon got
back to Durant they selected 1,200
acres of the finest land In the nation
and at once made preparations to Im-
hprove It. Mr. Gideons Dig iarm is
worth $50,000 now, and although not
fully Improved Is bringing its owners
a prjncely income.
Although the three months contract
was made In all earnestness It was
never thought of afterward except to
be laughed at. Neither Mr. nor Mrs.
Gideon has had occasion to regret the
marriage relation so hastily assumed.

marked dismally, "I wish we were a
one-legged race." "Been buying more
shoes for the children, I suppose," was
the natural reply.
Saved a Man
coin asked each one how he saw the
fight, and the invariable reply was.
"By the light of the moon."
Lincoln then produced an almanac
of the current year and proved by It
that at the time they swore they saw
the assault in the moonlight the moon
was Invisible. Lincoln then addressed
the Jury, making. It is said, one of the
strongest and most eloquent pleas ever
made in that court. At the close he
turned to the weeping mother and
said;
"Aunt Hannah. you can have your boy
again before the sun goes down." And
she did, for the jury brought in a ver
dict of not guilty.
Lincoln received no fee and asked
none. Afterward Armstrong enlUtea

sistance. Not all people live in tents
because they cannot afford to rent a
house. Instances are known where,
since the boom set in, men have rented
their houses and moved their families
Into tents. Others have chosen tenting
in order to save exorbitant rents, while
still others endure this mode of habita
tion so that the family may be near
the work of the breadwinner. Some
few, and they are very few, compel
their families to live in tents so they
can have more money with which to
gamble and drink.

this, orders have been prepared to put
the Marblehead out of commission st

been sent to Admiral Watson to send
the gunboats Bennington and Concord,

been overhauled at the New York navy
yard, are aso to be sent to League

This- remarkable reduction of the
number of ships in commission is as
orlbed at the navy department to the
lack of a sufficient number of officers
to furnish complements for the ships
absolutely required for naval purposes.

It might be Imagined that life in these
tents Is hard to endure In the winter.
It is undoubtedly hard enough, but it
ts likely the heat of summer, with Its
decaying vegetation and tainted water,
causes more suffering and disease In
the tents than In the winter. In the
winter season the tents are made tight,
and as fuel is cheap, a fire keeps them
so warm that flaps have to be thrown
back for ventilation. Being built on
the ground and banked up around the
sides, tents are more comfortable In
winter than the most of the little rough
pine cabins that are built up off the
ground, and where the biting winds
come up through loose floors, giving
their inmates colds and pneumonia.

but tha meanest kind Is selfishness.
