DEFINING a SOONER.
An Important neclsion which Affects Sew

An Important neclsion which Affects Sew
eral Thousand People.
PERRY. Ok, Nov. ga decision
which effects several thousand people
was received here yesterday by the
register and receiver Of the Perry land
office 1t was the case Of N. A. Baker
against G. r. Mckinney, and the prop
crty involved Is land on which the
town Of Mckinney, Is miles north OF
here, is located.
g. R. Mckinney made homestead
entry on land, when the strip was
opened and later made applications to
commute for townsite purposes. N.
A. Baker filed contest against Oh
grounds that he was q sooner and the
decision Of this question Is the one that
affects thousands Of claim owners and
town lot owners in the Cherokee outlet,
The act opening the strip to set
tlement passed congress March O.,
1893, and the presidents proclamation
opening same was made August 10,
1898, and date Of opening was Septem-
ber 10, 1893 Mckinney and probably
5000 others were in the Cherokee out
let after March 3, 1909, prior to August
10, and they were condemned by nearly
every local land Office in the strip
and every local townsite board as soon
ers, but Commissioner Lomax holds
that only those In the Cherokee outlet
between the dates Of August 10 and
September 10, 1893, are sooners. This
will give the Mckinney town to 500
townsite people, and give many hun.
dreds OF men in the territory homes.

seven Georgia Negroes In jail for Applying

SYLvANrA, Ga, Nov. Ca whole.
sale plot OF incendiaries has been un-
earthed In this county, and seven cul.
prits, seli.confessed, repose In the
county jail. About two weeks ago the
house and barns OF State Senator Wade,
who was absent In attendance upon
the legislature in Atlanta, were burned
at midnight, entailing loss Of $1,000.
The men arrested yesterday, negroes,
confessed the whole story. II
was that following the recent elections
they had been advised by some
white men to organize and burn out
.he people who deprived them Of their
right 10 vote. They then formed them.
selves into an oath-bound association
for the purpose Of incendarlsn. Their
first work was on Senator Wado's
property, because he had no right to
represent them In the senate They
were to have burned tho homes Of two
other well-known citizens II they had
not been arrested. The officers have
not yet disclosed the names Of the
white men who thus urged on the in
cendiaries TO their work, The people
are SO cnraged over the disclosure that
the jail is strongly guarded to save the
seven men from vengeance.

AFTER LONG YEARS.
Two Aged Men Released from the Texas
PenltentIary-A Peculiar story.

fenttentiary-A recuhhf stoSy'
AUSTIN, Tex, Nov. 30,-Gov. llogg
yesterday pardoned B. A. Krebbs and
James Preston, serving life sentences
in the penitentiary. They were first
condemned TO be hanged, but their
sentence was commuted to life impris-
ment, and they have been In prison
eighteen years. The governor, in his
report OF the case, says 1t Is the
strangest, most novel and peculiar he
ever heard of or ever considered. The
men were convicted Of the murder Of .
man named England, his wife, son and
little daughter, in Montague county,
August 20, 1876. Krebbs, 10 the evil
dence shows, was arrested for the
crime and was carried before Mrs.
England, who lived two days after be-
ing shot, and she recognized him
as one of the men who had com
mitted the deed. Her daughter, too,
before dying, said Krebbs did the
shooting. 1t was this evidence, the
governor says, that led to the convic-
ton Of the men. A son of the Englands
who saw the murderers when they first
rode up and escaped, testified that they
were Bill Taylor, an escaped convict,
and one John Musick, a neighbor OF
the Englands, who had grudgc
against them The governor, after
careful consideration of all the facts,
declares it as his belief that Krebbs
and Preston are innocent, and that the
real criminals are John Musick and
Taylor, who left the country short
time after the Englands were mur-
dered, and there whereabouts are un-
known.
Preston and Krebbs, the pardoned
men are over 70 years now and are in
feeble health.

ELMlnA, Cal, Nov a0.-When freight
train No. s arrived at the depot the
engineer discovered remnants Of human
bodies on his locomotive and an In
vestigation soon proved that the train
had run over four tramps, who are sup
posed to have fallen asleep, while
warming themselves on heap Of
smouldering embers lying on the track
in the outskirts Of town. Three Of
them were killed instantly and
their bodies mangled in horrible
manner. The only Survivor is a
mulatto boy about II years Of age,
who gives all information that can be
obtained as to the identity of his com
panions. He is John Briscoe, Of Daven-
port, 10. Johnnie or Vernie Irwin,
also Of Davenport, was his companion.
The other victims who were also mere
boys, were unknown to Briscoe. The
