MADMEN IN OKLAHOMA.
Two Settlers Driven insane by Their
Failure to Obtain or Hold Claims.

Oklahoma City, /. T., April 26.
Five men in their coffins and Il
maniac in irons were carried north
from this infant city yesterday. The
dead men had died natural deaths.
The madman, John Evans, left
his family in Eldorado, Kas., few
days ago, and was apparently in the
best of health. He came to Okla
homa City on the first train Monday,
found the city in possession of
United States deputy marshals and
bushmen. and was unable to realize
his expectations. \ claim which he
finally secured was jumped by pro
fessionals and q revolver was flour
ished in his face when he remon-
strated. His subsequent trials with
this robbed him of his reason. AS
he lay on the platform waiting for
the train he talked incoherently OF
claims and town lots, and implored
those near him not to rob him of
his little piece of ground. Evans
was taken to Winfield and placed in
hospital for the insane,
Another man went crazy the pre-
yious night and was placed on q
north bound train. At Alfred he
broke away and tried to assault
Lieutenant Waite. of tn. infantry
company stationed there. but was
overpowered. Il want claim
want claim" was his incessant cry
He was put aboard the train agair
and will probably be treated in the
Winfield hospital.

NO EXTRA SESSION.
What Will be Done In the Legislature
This Week.

Jefferson City, No, April 2s.-
There will be no extra session of the

there are two good and sufficient
reasons why this is true. First, the
dem Gratis do not propose to adjourn

ly revised, if they have to work for
81 a day until next Christmas.
Second, the Governor would not
call an extra session even if the As
sembly did adjourn before the stat
utes were revised. The republican
and union labor members are anx
ious to adjourn next Thursday, after
which time they will draw 81 per
day less than they are getting now
for the same work, and with the ex
ception of few good card players
among their number they will SO

NAMED AS Or. CRONlN'S MURDERERS
Detective CoughIIn, Patrick Sullivan
and Frank Black Indicted.
cIan-na-caeI Affairs Not Mentioned
In the Jury Room.
An Alderman Charged With Offering
to Pay for Cronln's Murder.

CHICAGO, May 28.-Detective Daniel
Coughlin, Patrick o. Sullivan, liceman, and
Frank J. Black, alias Woodruff, were in
dicted by the grand jury this evening for
the murder of Dr. Cronin. The result was
reached after an investigation lasting seven
hours, during which time two dozen wit
nesses were examined and mass of evil
dence was considered. No evidence was in
troduced to prove conspiracy. Frank Scan
lon and Mr.. and Mrs. T. L. Conklin COM
pleted the chain of evidence which led to the
holding of Coughlin and Black. The grand
jury were unanimous for indicting all three
prisoners. State Attorney Longnecker said
tonight that no mention Of Clan-na-Gael af-
fairs was made in the jury room. M
Eight warrants have been placed in the
hands Of detectives today for use In such an
emergency as would rise from an attempt of
the men to leave the city Frank Woodruff,
alias Frank Black. has told the whole story
of his connection with Cronin's murder. He
was not directly connected with the murder
itself and simply acted as a driver of the
wagon which carried the body.
Woodruff says he was directed by those who
had charge of that part of the conspiracy,
whose names Capt. Setback reserves, to 20 to
Denan's livery stable and obtain horse and
wagon. He had been instructed to drive the
outfit to the neighborhood Of the Carlson
cottage and knew for what purpose. He ar
rived at the cottage about 20 minutes be-
lore Cronin was driven up. Three quarters
OF an hour after Cronin arrived, the man
known as Williams opened the front door and
gave the signal. Assisted by a third man,
the trunk was loaded into the wagon. The
TWO men followed and directed Woodruff to
drive eastward to the lake.
Seeing officers on this road, circuitous
route was taken in order to avoid then. 1t
being found an impossibility to dispose Of
the body in The lake, the catch basin was re-
sorted to. When they came to open the
trunk, it was found they could not do so as
the key was lost. Williams kicked In the
lid OF the trunk and the three lifted the body
out and deposited 1t in the sewer. The
trunk was placed on the wagon. They in
tended to drive to the cottage and deposit
the trunk. Right here" said Woodruff,
pointing to the exact spot where the trunk
was found, I'VE heard a noise of wagon
wheels from the south and the two men
picked up the box and threw 1t out of the
wagon. When we reached Fullerton avenue
Doth men said good night and left the
wagon"

RESCUED BY Mr.. lGERRYS SOCIETY,
How Little Della Boyce Was Treated
by Her Stepmother.
The chiId's Body Covered With Cruel
Burns and Bruises.
Della Is In Good Hands and Mrs.
Boyce Is In Prison.

NEW YORK, May 2S.-Inquiry at the JEFF
ferson Market Police Court into the case of
reported inhuman treatment of seven years
old Della Boyce by her stepmother, Mrs.
Annie Boyce, brought to light case of ap-
parent unparalleled cruelty. The child is
emaciated, according to the certificate of
physicians who examined her. there being
no bodily ailment. her condition being due
to want of nourishment. The child's body is
covered with scars, scabs and sores, caused
by burns. These the stepmother tried to ex-
plain by saying the child had fallen on a
stove. The:physicians declared the burns of
such nature and in such parts of the body
that they must have been produced only by
some person Intentionally. They were
caused by hot curling iron, according to
the other children in the family. 1t is known
that Mrs Boyce had the life of the child In
sured. Mrs. Boyce was committed in de-
fault of $1,000 bail for examination Friday.
The case was reported to the society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Children, yes:
terday, and Immediately investigated. The
neighbors told Of hearing the child's cries
and of her being beaten by Mrs. Boyce. IL
the charges are proved, Sing Sing will afford

AMERICAN UNITARIANs.
The Association In Boston Hears
Some Encouraging Facts.

Boston, May 2S.-The annual meeting of
the American Unitarian Association was
held today at fremont Temple with large
attendance. The report of the treasurer,
Hon. Thos. N. Hart, showed an income of
$S3,O40 and expenditures of $109,372. The
deficiency had been mostly paid from the
general fund. The treasurer urged increased
contributions in order that the drafts of the
general fund might be rendered unnecessary.
The report of the directors states that 26l
parishes have contributed larger number
than ever before. while the sum received
into the treasury is more than $1,000 in ex-
cess of last years gift. The report notes
that at no time in the history of the associa-
tion has the work Of church extension been
so satisfactory in its results as within the
last few years. The report continues: "Our
growth in the country is limited simply by
the means which are furnished and by the
number of suitable men whom we have at
our command. We need more money. If
we are to do the work God has given into
our hands, we must have more money. To
meet an ever increasing need, committee
has been appointed to collect special fund
OF 100000. Already they have received
over S30,0O0"
