September 16, 1907 News

In the "Alva Pioneer" newspaper of northwest Oklahoma Territory, dated 16 September 1907 in Oklahoma Territory, there was mention of the Ponca's holding their sun dance the week before the '93 Strip Run; A Kingfisher man advertised for a pocket book full of bills; McAlester's telephone force was smoked out one day the week before.

There was another interesting item concerning the Oklahoma broom corn crop being hauled to market September, 1907. They were waiting patiently for the usual puns on the market being swept.

Also... The Oklahoma, dated September 16, 1907, mentioned in the "State Notes" this following item, "The Post refers to Frank Frantz as one who came to Oklahoma on the hurricane deck of a pony. When the returns from Tuesday's election are all in, he will be en voyage up salt creek in the poop of a mud scow."

There was another article in that same paper, dated September 16, 1907, of The Oklahoma, that you might have found interesting about a burglar, Kingfisher hardware store and gallons of whiskey. It stated, "A discriminating burglar visiting a Kingfisher hardware store last week and took some revolvers, rifles, knives and razors and a couple of gallons of whiskey. The dispatch does not state why the last named commodity was dispensed in a hardware store."
