The execution OF Chester Dixon, con.
yicted OF murder at the last term OF the

Dixen, the murderer, was q young, full
blooded Choetaw, about seventeen years OF
age. lie was subject to fits, during which
he often lost control OF himself. lie was,
aside from this malady, considered rather
bright boy. He was tried according to the
Choctaw law by O competent jury. He
was found guilty, and sentenced 10
be shot on September 10th, at noon.
lie was allowed to 60 home from the court
room unrestrained, except by his parole OF
honor 10 be at the courthouse at Atoka at
the hour appointed for his execution. Choc-
taw laws provide for no appeal, else his case
would have been recOnsidered, for after his
conviction he was attacked with d., which
proved conclusiyely that be was subject 10
temporary alteration, during which it Is
presumed be was irresponsible for his ac-
tiOns. His attorney during the trial had not
made any such plea, and the sentence Of
death having been pronounced it was unal-
terabe. On Thursday Dixon came 10 AtOka
with his siepfather for the purpose OF Or
dering bis coffin. He had bis measure taken,
and gave the orders for the disposition OF
his body without the least appearance OF
concern. On Friday morning about 100
persons, most OF whom were whites, gath
cred about the courthouse TO witness the
execution. Up TO within hall an hour OF
the appointed time Dixon had not appeared.
Our reporter asked his companion whether
there was not some likelihood OF the pris.
oner breaking bis parole. "lf he is alive
he will be here within ten minutes, just as
sure as the sun Shines" Hardly had the
words been spoken when a murmur Of
% Here he comes " was heard on all sides,
and there rose up young fellow, slight
OF build, tail and straight, but rather
awkward in his movements. Aligbting
from his pony, the boy approached lit
lie knot OF Indian women who were
gathered about blazing log. Without
giving any attention TO those about him.
he sat down by stump, and, hanging down
bis head, seemed lost in meditation. Pres
emily venerable old Indian approached the
boy and spoke 10 him In the Chociaw
tongue. bidding him, Us the interpreter
said, 70 meet bis fate as became Cboetaw

Raltimorc,s Festivities.

BALTIMORE, October 13-This was the
third day of the celebration Of the settle
mcnt Of Baltimore. The parade of fire COM
panies. military, and other organizations
proved even more attractive than was an
ticipated, and the pageant was one seldom
equalIed. The thrOng OF people on the
streets was almost as great as yesterday.
Among the military organizations In the
line Of the procession were the Warren
Light Infantry, OF Front Royal, Va; the
Norfolk Wal Light Infantry Blues, the
Norfolk City Guard. and the Alexandria
(Va.) Light Infantry. Along the entire
route the line was continually applauded,
and the people expressed their qualification
by bestowing upon the soldiers, firemen,
and others, wreaths OF evergrecns and beau
tiful bouquets.
Tonight the city is again illuminated,
the people giving up generally all business.
