One Shot Through the Heart.

A CHOCTAW BOY EXECUTED IN INDIAN TERRI-
TORY FOR KILLING ANOTHER BOY.
FORT SMITH, ARK, May mitchell Ander-
son, a Choctaw Indian, Il years old, was exc
cuted yesterday according to the custom OF that
nation, for the murder of another Choctaw boy
named Winchester, last summer. Anderson
was convicted in the court of the Mosahalo-
tubbee district, and was sentenced i'm February
last. He shot Winchester while the latter was
passing along a lonely road. and then horribly
mutilated the body and secured fifteen dollars
The condemned youth was seated on a blanket
in an open place, with piece of white paper
pinned over his heart. The executioner knelt
before him, and with one shot killed him. An
dersOn denied the killing till within the last few
days, when the decision reached by the supreme
Judge convinced him that there was no hope,
when he acknowledged his guilt and said his
father was the instigator.
