The last few days of the late Monsoon has helped a bit in filling the Vallecito Lake, but it is still needing a much more of a refill.

It is in The Leader, out of Guthrie, Oklahoma, dated 29 July 1901, that we learn of some interesting Territorial Snap shots, such as: A postoffice had been established at Amos, Chickasaw Nation, I.T., with John L. Lacid as postmaster.

And that same newspaper there was reported that a middle aged man at El Reno wanted several lady correspondents between the ages of 30 to 40. He was old enough to know better.

The Associated Bureau of Immigration of the Indian Territory was the title under which several negroes at Muskogee had incorporated a company.

Did you know that in 1901, Traveling men, as a rule, did not put up at El Reno hotels during this rush. They mostly stopped over night at Kingfisher and went to El Reno the next morning to see their customers. If it required two days or more of time they wen to Kingfisher each night.

Also, in 1901, Asa Sharpe, the ex-indian agent, who was under a sentence of four years for receiving bribes from cattlemen, perfected his appeal to the Oklahoma supreme court Saturday evening and was released on $5,000 bonds which was made by an Eastern Surety company.
