THE FIRST uYNCHlNG.

J. C.. Cyland. Late of Franklin County,
Mo-. Said to Have Been Murdered Near
Guthrie, Oklahoma, and His Slayer
Summarily Dealt With.
GUTHRIE, Okla, April A.-There were
two tragedies here on Monday in dis
putes over claims. The first victim was
S. T. Comps, reported in these dispatches
yesterday. OF the other murder the facts
are as follows: The body has been iden-
tilted as that of J. c. Cyland, late of
Franklin County, Mo. All information
shows that it was a most heart
less and cold-blooded murder, perpe-
trated by three desperate characters,
who desired to take possession of claim
of which he was the lawful owner. One
Of the murderers of young Cyland was
captured and executed. He was dis
covered in the bushes near the river. A
posse of thirty men was formed for
the purpose of capturing him.
When they arrived at his hid
ing place they demanded his sur
render. His answer was to pull his re-
volver, and instantly volley was fired
and he fell mortally wounded. He died
IN an hour. His name is unknown. The
vigilance committee made no effort to
conceal the killing of the assassin, and
rely upon the community to sustain them
in their efforts to overawe the turbulent
and lawless element of the camp.

dition of affairs in all sections of the country.
In my opinion, quite number of people have
been deferred from entering the country OWNS:
to the exaggerated reports as to the number
coming in and the difficulties of getting here
However, from reports from Fort Sill, Reno
and elsewhere, am satisfied that the arrange
ments perfected will prevent serious trouble of
any KIND though there may in remote sections
of the country be individual cases of strife.
