statutes provide for two methods for in
ficting the death penalty. One is hang
ing by the neck until dead, and the other
is by electricity, at the cost of the territory,
under the direction of the governor and by
order of the court.
Oklahoma Times,Journal: The mother
OF Mr.. j, Klein, father of Mrs. J. c. De-
laney and Mrs. +. j. McGlinchey, is lying
very sick at her home in Pennsylvania,
and as she is in the S7th year of her age
very faint hopes of her recovery are enter
tanned. She is one of the wealthiest ladies
in Pennsylvania, her fortune being esti-
mated at from 100000 to $4,000, which
will be inherited by Mr.. Klein and his
brother.
OEe per cent has been added to all IN

FL Reno Herald: Indian Agent Ashley
is in correspondence with interior depart
ment relative to the leasing of Indian
lands by the whites after allotments. are
made. Doubtless the proper arrange
ments will be made before the country is
opened. This will come pretty near putting
a white family on each quarter section.
Yukon Courier: Some appear to think
that we rather heaped it on ourself a lit
tie to hard last week in the article on the
Keely institution. Let them who think
SO continue to think. What good was
there comes from lying about it? We
never felt more like kicking man than
we did big liar at Oklahoma City short
time ago who explained his case as fol-
lows: ooh, was not "a hard drinker. and
did not really need the treatment, but
came to take it just to please my wife. "
1t was bad enough to be drunkard with
ont lying about it.
Norman Transcript: A rumor is cur
rent that in the leasing of the school lands
of this country, there has been more or
less fraud on the part of several parties in
obtaining control OF certain tracts of land.
A law suit in Norman recently developed
the fact that several parties not far from
Norman had conspired to get leases on
land at a less rental than they should have
done by buying off other bidders who
wanted the land or good bonus for their
bid. Specializing in government lands
should not be allowed and if facts can be
obtained to substantiate the belief that
fraud is or has been used in connection
with school land leases public interest de-
mands that it be shown up in true light.
Tecumseh Republicans: A gentleman
who arrived in this city Monday evening
reports that most dastardly murder was
committed at Heliswa, about eighteen
miles southeast of this city, last Friday
night. 1t appears that deputy United
States marshal from Texas, accompanied
by his posse, came to Heliswa ostensibly
for the purpose of arresting some one
charged with crime. The party went to
the place of Mr.. Bruner, who is a store
keeper and postmaster at Heliswa, and
found him in his corral feeding his stock
The marshal went in where Mr. Bruner
was at work and, after talking with him
few minutes, deliberately shot him dead
The marshal and posse then rode away
and lef the man lying dead in the corral
No cause is assigned for this foul deed
other than that given by the marshal, who
remared: 81 guess | have killed the wrong
man ,,
