Quick Work.

In thirteen minutes the jury in the Cherokee Bill murder case, at Fort Smith, to decided on verdict of guilty of murder in the first degree. Those who believe that iIl-luck is found in the number 13, will be interested to know that thirteen days elapsed from the time of the killing until Cherokee Bills convictions; it took thirteen min utes for the jury to get in a verdict; that the turnkey was engaged in lock- ing cell No B, when the fatal shot was fired that ended the life of Larry Heating. The counsel for the defend ant will take an appeal to the supreme court, but on what grounds no one seems to know.
 Cherokee Bills defense was insanity, and also that Heating was killed by stray bullet fired by one of the guards. It was proven, though, that Keating was a corpse before a shot was frcI by the guards. Seven guards were in charge of Cherokee Bill, while he was in the court room, and being taken to and from jail. He was insoIentlv de- fiuant and indifferent until letter he wrote and tried to smuggle out of jail q week before the killing was intro duced 1t stated that one of the guards would be killed the next week, then he wiited, and hung his head. He was in very ugly mood, and would have given the guards much trouble had he been given any liberty.
