Oklahoma Town site Iiu Passed.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10 The vice presi
dent Of the United States came 10 the res.
cue Of the Oklahoma town site bill and by
his vote he broke the tie and passed the
bill compelling the Rock Island Railroad
company TO stop its trains at the new
towns Of Enid and Round Pond
This measure has been under discussion
IN the senate nearly week and has been
one OF the most hotly contested bills of the
session. The railroad company. according
to the advocates of the bill, secured CON
troll from the Indians, IN advance OF the
opening Of the territory, OF the town sites
adjacent 60 those of Enid and Round Pond
regularly established by the interior dc
partmenu, and the trains of the Rock Is
land road have refused TO stop at Enid aud
Round Pond and compelled settlers 10
come two or three miles down the line Of
the road in order 20 receive their freight or
transact any business involving railroad
transportatioa.
As Enid and Round Pond nre alleged
each 20 have q populution Of 1000 inhab-
itants or more, the remonstunce against
the railroad company's action has been 80
strong that IL has found It's way TO con-
gress. The measure on the final vote stood
% 10 %, and the vice president promptly
exercised his prerogative by casting the
deciding vote in favor of the bill The
senate amended the measure, however
and 10 must 90 back 20 the house for th,
concurrence of that body. Senators Berry
Of Arkansas and Palmer of Illinois were th'
principal champions OF the bill, and Sen
Rtors Blackburn OF Kentucky and Platt o
Connecticut were It's leading opponents.

BUD STONE HANGED.
The Murderer OF Six OF the wrattan Fam.
fly Meets His Doom.

JEFFERsoNvILIE Ind, Feb 16.-James
z. Stone expiated his crime on the gullows
in the prison south at / o'clock this morn
ing. The sextuple murderer kept up his
air Of bravado until the last moment. The
death warrant was road to him by Warden
Patten in the afternoon During the read
Ing Stone preserved the same stoicism that
was characteristic of the man during his
stay i'm the prison. His spiritual adviser
attempted to bring him to a realization Of
his near approach TO jeopardy, but, in the
language OF the warden, "He tried TO the
last to bluff God Almighty and everybody
else.n
Stone walked to the gallows without a
tremor and met his doom without a word
of excuse for his horrible crime. The AMI
nal IN his nature was exhibited to the last
moment. His neck was broken by the
fall, and there was no movement OF the
body after he passed through the trap.
The crime for which Charles E. Stone,
or Bud Stone as he was Familiarity known.
was convicted was committed near the vii
lage Of Glendale, nine miles east Of Wash
| ingtoni Ind, on the night oi Sept. IS 1893,
and was the peculiarly atrooious and
bloody murder of Mrs Elizabeth Wratten,
| her son Deuson Wratten and his wife aud
| three children. All were killed instantly
with the exception OF the little girl Ethel,
.who lived for several days.
Stones WAS probably the most brutal
aud iendish murder ever committed in
the state Of Indiana. II was undoubtedly
planned for robbery, but becoming fright
ened at the enOrmity Of the crime the muir
derer fed, leaving over $500 unlocked in q
bureau drawer. His father Is well re
spected farmer, and up TO the time Of tbs
murder Bud Stone had led a quiet, IN
leventfui life.
