PERJURY PROSECUTIONS.
The Enterprise has called a halt on
the perjury fad. 1t says: 1t is becom-
ing more and more apparent that the
form of prosecutions in Their courts Of
Oklahoma for perjury, has been turned
into prosecutions; that when certain
parties are wanted out of the way in
contest cases, a charge Of perjury is
brought, and they are arrested, harrass-
ed and hurried into court and tried,
numerous witnesses having been found
among the friends of the prosecution
TO swear their victim into the peniten-
tiary.
We do not mean by this that we are
opposed to prosecutions for perjury; a
perjurer should be prosecuted and, if
convicted, sent to the penitentiary. We
are in favor of this, but the practice,
lahoma courts, of wholesale indiscrimi-
nate prosecutions for perjury, charged
TO have been committed in the land
office contest cases, in many instances
is purely form OF persecution and per-
sonal spite and should no logger be toll
Grated. Federal grand juries should
from this time on, give all cases grow
ing out of land contest, where perjury
is charged, the closest scrutiny and fail
to find against parties where il is evil
dent that personal spite and injury is
at the bottom of the charges. Refer
ence 10 some cases of this character,
tried in the district court here, is all
that is necessary to show the animus
Of this form of prosecution In two
cases the jury acquitted and in the
other the evidence of guilt was not
sufficiently clear for twelve intelligent
jurymen to find verdict and they were
discharged because they could not agree
Cases OF this kind have been occupy
ing too much time in the courts, and
have added much unnecessary expense
and costs to the government and wit
Desses, who are subpoenaed in these
numerous perjury cases, to come, in
many instances, long distances, to at
tend court at this session of the year,
when they are badly needed on their
farms. They may be kept in attend
ance for weeks and all to no purpose,
save TO become. perhaps, innocent par
ties to malicious prosecutions.
This form Of prosecutions should be
avoid in the future by federal grand
juries most carefully examining all the
charges of perjury in land cases, there
by preventing cases Of malicious prose-
cutions reaching the courts This prac-
tice has become too notorious in Okla
homa and it is time II was discounten-
anced by courts and grand juries.

DIED RAVING.
After Securely Claiming Himself t. q
Past

Past.
Cleveland. O., Oct. 5.-Several
years ago there appeared in Hinkley
Bernard Sherman, and with him
came big ST. Bernard dog. The
man was left undisturbed IN the sol
itude OF decrepit old hovel, which
he had rented in the lonesome out
skirts of the hamlet, his only com.
panion his dog.
One night last week several belat
ed 6sLer boys were passing the
place. when suddenly they were
frightened and terrified by prolong
ed and blood curdling human rawlings
of the widest description, coming,
apparently, from the. tumble down
hut of the mysterious reeluse, and
which sent the belated listeners
scurrying home in terror. The old
man was never again seen alive
Afraid of the SCOTS of the incredu-
ious, the boys who had listened in
terror to the dying ravirgs of the
mysterious hermit held their silence,
out the deserted appearance of the
old hut finally attracted attention
and au investigation was started.
There was the only one room in
the house and when the door was
broken IN the old man was found
living dead, chained to post with a
| locked chain; and the condition of
the body told Of death struggle
most horrible. and the doctors ss
cribed death to hydrophobia- Just
outside the hovel was found tne dog,
the life companion of the recluse, and
the beasts death had been caused
by an Ak wound in the head.
An examination proved that the
dog had gone mad before being kill
ed.
The supposition is that the brute
went mad aud bit his master. The
old man, realizing that death was in
evitable. bad locked himself in wher
be felt the madness coming on
chained himself fast, locked his fet
ters with paddock and threw the
kew away. Buried under the floor
of the hovel was found $4,000 il
gold. There was nothing that could
shed light on the mystery of hi
life.
