lime Before He Occupies His ONCE
Fears General Among the Officials of
Oklahoma That the Investigation Idea
of Harmon Will be Extended-He is said
to be Disguised With the Territorial
Officials.
Guthrie. o. T, Jan. 25.-The exciting
theme here tonight is over the news
from Washington. 1t is said that word
has been received here that Attorney
General Harmon remarked Thursday
that the officials of the territory Of Okla
homa had given the department more
trouble than any other district in the
United States.
This is interpreted % mean that Nix
will not be the only one to &c: thai the
department viii send inspectors inso the
territory and clean things up if every
Democrat in territory mas TO be super
seeded.
II is said here that Ed Dunno of the
Democratic territorial central commit
tee will be chief deputy of Patrick Magic
and II appears on good authority that
most Of the deputies will be removed.
This is supposed TO be in line with the
expression of Attorney General Harmon
that the whole thing must be cleaned
up. Another dispatch from Washing
ton says:
The investigation that has resulted
in the removal of Nix has been so start
ling that more Investigations are to be
made and more revelations may follow.
1t is difficult for the attorney general to
understand how ii is that Mr.. Nix
should violate the rules of the depart
ment so fiagrantly and Mr.. BrookeS not
know Of IL. The attoi Eey is supposed 10
approve the accounts Of the marshal
and in doing so ne is supposed TO know
that the government is not being i'm
posed upon.
THE officials of Oklahoma protested
against the appointment of Maggie.
They informed the attorney general that
Nagle mad been against the administra-
ton in Oklahoma. Mr.. Nilback, Of
Guthrie, who is here, found that Maggie
would be likely to get the appointments,
and he called on the attorney general
and informed him that Nagle was not
good Democrat and that he had been
abusing the administration. 1t is a GER
tainty that Mr.. Maggie will have a very
warm time of it in getting confirmed,
and an effort will be made to have the
attorney general withdraw the nominal
ton.
Nagle moved into Oklahoma from st.
Marys. Kans., where he was druggist,
but on reaching Oklahoma he at once
became a lawyer"
TALK ABOUT DOOLIN.
Bill Doolin is still the subject of much
discussion here. There are several stor-
les about him. Among them is one that
he made bargain with Nix for half
the reward and allowed himself to be
captured is still going the rounds An
attempt to add to its plausibility Is made
by calling attention to the fact that Mrs.
Bill Doolin, who was in town a day or
two since. has suddenly departed. II
Doolin made any such bargain it will
prove a sorry one for him. Nix is no
longer in a position to grant Bill Doolin
any favors. The last description of Bill
Doolin's nobility of character is the fol-
lowing from the Blackwell TimeS-Rec-
ord:
John Hunter, living three miles west
of town has know Bill Doolin for years,
and in the years past, when John was
boss Of big ranch here in the strip.
Bill Doolin worked under him and for
adjoining outfits. John says that Dool-
in was always one of those honest. brave,
kind hearted fellows that won the love
and respect of every man on the range.
He was known as Ma Doolin, on the
range, this motherly term being applied
to him on account of the kindness and
care shown by him to any cowboy who
was sick or in trouble.
Whenever Doolin heard of a cowboy
being sick he would saddle his horse and
regardless of the distance, ride to the
camp where the invalid lay, and away
beyond the selvage of civilization, in the
rude cow-camp, far from the gentle civ
ri N ~ n a
with all the tenderness of a mother
would carefully nurse the sick back 10
health and strength again. This gentle
ness Of heart forever endeared him TO
the cowboys who in after years married
and settled down. and probably accounts
for the number Of friends he has scat
tered throughout this territory.
But D0olin was as brave as he was
kind. and his sympathetic nature often
called his bravery into action, and final
" led to his becoming outlawed. Did
space permit, an interesting account
could be written of the numerous affairs
wherein Doolin came TO the rescue Of the
weaker side in those frontier difficulties,
his idea always seeming to be 20 take
