A wholesale Execution Takes Place as
FoRT SMITH, Ark, Jan. 1S.-Six Choc-
taw Indians were hanged at noon Thurs
day in the United States jail-yard for
murders committed in the Indian Terri
tory. They bore the ordeal with much
| nerve, standing on the scafold fully
twenty minutes while preparation was
being made. The work. however, went
on with precision and dispatch,
and when the fatal drop came there
was but slight groan from one
of them, > gentle swing Of six black
bodies-not . twitch or , shrug. All
were dead in from three to six minutes,
and George Maledon, who had hanged
seventy-ive persons before, performed
the work apparently with relish. The men
were Harris Austin, Sam Gains, JIM
mon Burris, John Billy. Thomas Willis
and Jefferson Jones'
Austin paid the death penalty for
killing white man named Thomas
Elliott Billy and Willis were
executed for the murder Of white
man whose name was supposed to
be A. b. Williams. The crime for
which Sam Gains and Jim Burris suffered
death was the shooting Of Houston
Joyce, whom they afterward robbed.
jefferson Jones murdered an old white
man named Henry Wilson

those who have not already been driven

to him, and all Of his intimate friends. as
we'll as those who are not included ia that

PEELED TO deny himself to visitors in order
to arrange the case upon which he will to-
day submit an argument before the SUI

engaged in receiving friends. Mr. Cleye-
