K. Uisiorlottl Society m The Daily Democrat v f Vol. 1 ANADAR.KO. CADDo COUNTY. OKLAHOMA JULY 3 J, 1907. NO, 162 v ROM A WORD F HOME FOLKS A Brief Biography of Hon. C. N. Haskell, by one who Has Known him Forty Years Our old friend Charloy HaBkell haa been nominated by the Demo crats as their candidate for Governor of the proposed new etato of Oklahoma, comprising Indian Territory and Oklahoma, Territory with a combined area of 70,000 Bquai;e miles and about a million people. Mr. Haskell's old acquaintances are exceeding ly glad to hoar of "his achieve ments and suooess". The l?reo Press has reoontly heard many encomiums upon Mr. Heskoll. Dr. J. C. MoClung, one of tho oldest citizens of Leipaio, practic ing physioian hero for nearly forty years and for -years one of the loading Ro'publisans of Put nam county.who has liad disting uished official recognition at the hands of his party several times, gave a very interesting history tho other day of Mr. Haskell. Among tho other things pr. MoClung said : -"I oxpoot I haye known C. N. Haskell probably longer than anyone else living hore.but it don't sound just natu ral to say, C. N. Haskell, we always oalled him Charley among our homo folks. Away back in tho early'OOs when I was a young man t9aohing sohool and ge.tting ready to praotice medicine, about what is now oalled West Leipsio, as the new town waH just start ing, and was then a clear patch of 40 acres in the baok woods.tho Haskell family oonBisting of the father.mother and five childron, of whom Charley was next to the youngest, were one of the pioneer families established in this vioinity before the war. George Haskell, Charley's father was a cooper by trade, but died in 1863 leaving tho mothor with five young ohildren with no sup port except the mother and Roual Haskell the oldest boy, then about a dozen years of age. The mother was on3 of the most courageous women I ever knew; it was only her untiring energy and determination that enabled her to keep her ohildren together and give them an opportunity for a common sohool education, but her oonstant effort arid desire waB devoted to the welfare of her ohildren and she kept them to gether until, they beoame old enough to relieve her to some ex tent by beginning their own sup port and as they grow older, to aid her in the support of the familv. 1 remember that as a young man, I took part in the conducting of the Presbyterian Sunday sohool in the village.and that Charley was in the first class of whioh I was teaoher. When ho was about nine years old, ho went to work for anaoquaintanoo of mine by tho name of Miller on a farm some six milos from town, where he farmed until he was just about 21 years of age. Tho last two or three years on tho farm he had taught sohool in tho Medary district and Oakdale dis trict near here, also tho villego sohool in his native town, the high esteem in which Charley's mother was held by all our neigh bors and wo all encouraged them and helped them in eyory rospoct As far baok, almoBt, ae I romom ber the history' of our onoo cel ebrated Literary and Dobating Sooiety in Old Loipsic, wo used to have recitations by several of tho sohool childron of which Charley was always one until he Want to livo on tho farm. I think almost ae soon as he was of age ho was admittod to praotice law and opened a law office in Ottawa in the spring of about 1881. I remember comment on the unus ual fact that ho began practioe alone without any influence to secure him business except his enorc-y and determination, but the old neighbors and farmers of Liberty township stuok to him and soon wo knew Charley Has kell as one of the most satisfac tory and successful lawyers in the county. Ho continued in tho practico for a number of years in this county and finally became interested in general contracting work,principally on railroad con struction and continued his resi dence in this county until some thing like six or seven years ago. I don't suppose that anybody arouna here knew him bettor from hie childhood up to the time he moved to the Indian Tor ritory than I did and I have al ways felt a deep interest and prido in whatever ho has done. While ho is a Democrat and I am a Republican, I am just as proud as anyone oould possibly be of his success in life. There is one thing sure, Charley .Haskell has always stood for honest, moral government and is one of the most unoompromising fighters I ever saw. When he makes up his mind that anything is right, you oan't buy him or soare him out of fighting for it. Whatever ho has made out of himself since ho left his mother's home and went to work on Miller's farm up to the present time, is due to the right start his mother gave him and to his untiring energy and courage, and to think of Char ley Haskell in the future as Gov ernor of Oklahoma, will make me feel just as proud as though roul ly he were my own boy, and I know that that is the same way all the old settlers around Leip sio and Liberty township will feel about it. President Jones Here. Dr. Geo. C.Jones, President of tho Oklahoma College for Young Ladios, is in the oity today in tho intorestof his sohool.

Tho only differences be tween tho Oklahoma Uni versity and tho schools of tho East aro (1) that it is newer and loss known, and (2) that it is nowor and con sequently more up-to-dato in its equipment. Tho most recent purchaso for our Un versity has been a comploto outfit for tho study of elec tricity and electrical engi neering. Having got tho last ono made, Oklahoma has tho best ono and tho most modern. As with tho electrical proposition, so it is with other lines of study. Knowl edge is not restricted to any oiio place or climo; it is world-wide. It can bo ac quired as well or better in tho Oklahoma University, whero thoro aro no out-of-date outfits or mothods to hinder tho students in their work, as in tho overgrown schools in tho east.

Look out for big'rainl Yoatorday afternoon U. S, District Attorney John Embry, asaistod by Aast. U. S. Attornoy Moh'night of this oity and B. A, Parmontor of Lawton, appoared uoioro Juugo F. E. Glllotto and arguod to mako pormanont tho temporary injunction granted againat tho townaito of Kell, that tho railway company got up to broak tho sale of tho government townsitoof Eshiti. Attornoy R. C. Roy of Lawton and Attornoy Horaco Speed of Guthrio ropre- sontou tho othor sido. Tho contention of tho govern ment is that tho titlo hold by tho Wiohita FallH & N, V. Railway oompany to their right of way is undor tho Enid & Anndarko Aot in tho naturo of an oaaomont for railway purpoaeB only; and that tho oompany has no right to use the land for any othor purpose. Thoy aak that tho railway com pany should bo oompollod to tako away all tho buildings that aro not necessary to tho conduct of ltn own business. Tho point was also mado that thoro hae never yot been any valid condemnation and payment for tho land taken by tho railway oompany for ita right-of-way, Upon tho question of aotual titlo to tho lands in tho big pas ture, tho attorneys for tho gov ernment contond that the title in foo has always boon in tho United Stales, and that tho Indians have a posBOBsory right. Whon the oaaomont was given to tho rail way oompany, tho Indians' pos sessory right was extinguiehed upon tho cendomnation proceed ings being logally carried out. If tho railway should over aban don its line, tho former statuj would immediately take on. The big pasture therefore has never been at any time publio domain, and tho titlo to it cannot pass as in the oase of building railroads through or homeateading publio lands, Tho townsito therefore was a trespass and permanent injunction should issue. On tho other hand, Attorneys Ray and Speed argued that there was no title in tho Indians einoe June 0, 1000; that in any event they had suffered no damage and oould suffer none; that tho rail way company was not injured and was within the law; and that John W. Fiold, upon whoso quar ter sootion tho remainder of the townsite was looated, waa not in jured and would pay the remain ing four installments on his pur chase price of S1400, so tho In dians could not lose a dollar; and that to prev.ent the building of towns in tho new country is against publio polioy. Judge Gillette took the case under advisement, giving tho at torneys in tho oaso permission to file further briefs. I dyo daily; let mo dyofor jou Satisfaction guaranteed, j58 tf James Adkins.
