She is Incurable as She Has the Devil In
Her-she Dies-An Editor suggets Rid
ing the Outfit Out
Guthrie, o. T.. Feb. 15.-(Special)-
The Alva Republican has the follow
ing in regard TO a new sect: Not
many months ago we told our readers
about new religious organization near
Kintz postOffice, in this county, which
its leaders called the Church of God
They have been holding meetings al
most every day since last summer and
have had many acquisitions TO the
faith. One of the principle beliefs is
that of healing the sick by prayer. a
woman in the neighborhod was affict-
ed with consumption Of the lungs and
the leaders Of this wonderful organi-
zation proceeded to pray for her de-
liyerance. The woman, so the story
goes, got better and was assured that
their prayers saved her life. Her re-
covery, however, was but Of short du-
ration and she was soon bedfast again.
These Would-be healers went TO pray
ing again but the lady continued TO
grow worse until they gave up in de-
their prayers were unavailing was that
she had the devil in her and could not
be cured. The natural consequence
was the poor woman died, and her
death was no doubt hastened by the
terrible information she received from
these imposters. We have received
this information from a reliable source
and believe it to be true, and if so the
good people Of Kntz should escort
these gentlemen of the cloth out of the
nelghborhOOd astride a blackjack"
NAGLE WILL GET IT.
A special from Washington says that
the senate Judiciary committee has
made favorable report on the nomina-
ton of Hon. Patrick Nagle, of King
fisher, for marshal Of Oklahoma to sue
ceed i. d. Nix. and he will be confirm
ed.
Charges had been preferred against
Mr.. Nagle from Kansas Oklahoma, Ill
inois and other points, and the judiciary
committee spent several days in sift-
ing these reports, when il was finally
decided to make a favorable report
Had Mr.. Nagle's name been rejected,
the attorney general would have re-
commended either II. II. Hagan, Of
Guthrie, O. r, or G. r. Stallard, of Gin
cinnari, O.
Another dispatch from Kansas City
makes queer reading. This dispatch
reads: Edward Nix, who has been
United States marshal for Oklahoma
Tor several years, and is one of the best
known public men In the west, was in
the city all Of yesterday, looking after
matters connected with his administra-
ton. II viii be remembered that re-
IL
made against Nix, and that he was
ysummarily removed from office by the
president, and Patrick Nagle, of Kan
sas, nominated 10 fill the vacancy That
was three weeks ago, but for some
reason Nagle has not yet been confirm
ed.
A auiet rumOr is in circula ton that
Mr.. Maggie is as near the position as he
will ever get, Then another rumor is
to the effect that Marshal Nix may
succeed in unhorsing his enemies and
show them to be bloodsuckers and him
self an object Of attempted blackmail
at the hands Of men whom he had be-
friended.
The department Of justice has an ex-
aminer busy several weeks in the terri
tory, and it is said to be fact that the
Investigation was done on the spotter
=
allowed TO meet his accusers nor know
the nature Of the charges filed against
him. 1t is further claimed to be sus-
ceptGble of proof that $1,000 was de-
manded from the marshal 10 prevent
t'he report against him being filed. He
refused TO be bled and defied his ac-
cUsers. The result is already recorded.
The report was filed and he was remoY-
ed from office.
Marshal Nix Is from Kentucky and is
closely identified there. socially and
financially, with friends of Secretary
Carlisle, and ii is reported that a con-
nectiOn was thus established that stop
ped the proceedings until the whole
truth could be made known to the Of
ficials. Tor this reason the nomina-
ZION Of N2Ele IS on the hook and is sup
posed to be doomed to remain there for
a time, and possibly be taken down only
to he Withdrawn.
1t is claimed that substantially the
same charges against Nix were nade
against the judges Of the federal courts
there by the same people. The result
+ a combination Of Oklahoma influe-
ence there to force the accusers and
spoilers 10 come to the front and show
their hands and substantiate their
claims before the men accused Just
here comes the Information that the
main accuSer Of the officials is the man
who engineered the attempted black
mailing scheme, and that he was neatly
trapped, as he made the demand for the
cash. where six tTusty men both saw
the meeting and heard the demand
made.
A competent man could have inspect
ed the marshal's Office and accounts
and made an investigation that would
have been successful in securing the
facts, and would not have been unfair
10 the official Rut the administration
preferred the other way.
