KILLED A GUARD.
Cherokee Bill Attempts to Break Jail
At Fort Smith, But is Foiled.

Friday afternoon at 6 o'clock a
very bold attempt was made by
Cherokee Bill" the noted Indian
Territory outlaw, to break out of
the U. S. jail at Fort Smith, Ark.
1t seems that few weeks since
a large pistol was found in the out
laws cell, and since then there has
been more or less trouble around
the jail. 1t is evident outside
friends are trying hard to get the
murderer, Cherokee Bill away from
Uncle Sam. The Fort Smith Times
thus tells of the killing of the guard
and attempted escape:
"The trouble and unrest which
has prevailed among the prisoners
at the United States jail reached
a climax at 6;30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon when Cherokee Bill shot
and killed Larry Heating, one of
the night guards, and well known
as one of the Oldest and best citi-
zens Of Fort Smith
1t occurred when the locking up
process was going on and when
Larry was the only guard on duty,
The greatest excitement prevailed
and from the time the shot was
fired which killed Larry people rush
ed from the lower end of town. All
the time perfect cannonade was
going on Cherokee Bill still with his
pistol fighting desperately the extra
guards who had been attracted to
the scene. Not less than 30 shots
were fired during the time, winches-
ter, shot-guns and pistols being
brought into play. Like a deer at
bay the prisoner made desperate
through the defeat of his plans
stood in the door Of the cell on the
west side and sent out shot after
shot, but save the first shot, when
Larry fell, mortally wounded no
one else was hurt.
Henry Starr, who during all the
shooting had remained in his cell,
volunteered to obtain the pistol
which he did and handed it out to
the guard,
The news spread rapidly, and soon
a crowd numbering perhaps five
hundred were within the walls and
as many as twenty-five on the
inside nearly all whom were armed,
At this time it was thought by
some that another pistol was upon
the inside and shot.guns we're
leyeled down the each side fronting
the tiers Of cells. Nothing further
was found, however, and the MUIR
derer was shackled and locked in
his cell. The remains of the mur-
dered guard were taken to his home
the jail and grounds were cleared Of
everyone and the excitement grad
ually died down,

SIOUX CITY, May 2.--Some interesting
facts in connection with the recen, Strange
trials h.re were brought out on the publica-
tion this morning Of the schedule Of bills al.
lowed at the April session of the board Of
supervisors. At the January term Of court
eN-Supervsor Walter Strange was tried on
the charge Of obtaining money by false pre-
lenses. The state subpoenaed about fifty wit
nesses and Strange about 200. The case was
tried and resulted in a disagreement Of the
jury. At the March term there was another
trial, at which the same witnesses were called
again. Strange was finally acquitted and at
the conclusion of the cases the presiding
judge ordered the payment Of all the witnesses
subpoenaed At the recent session of the
county board all the Zee claims were accord
ingly allowed. The published schedule shows
that fully three-fourths Of the witnesses sub
poenaed by Strange were never put on the
stand. They drew fees. however, amounting
developed that Strange purchased the fee
claims Of most Of these witnesses at nominal
figures so that he drew practically all this
money himself. 1t is strongly intimated that
Strange subpoenaed many witnesses for whom
there was no use, with the understanding
tHdt ne was 10 receive the mons snare OF
the fees, and that the witnesses, who were
mostly poor men, were to be paid for their
trouble with whatever balanc1 remained after
Strange's share had come out There may
be an investigation into the matter.
