OKLAHOMA DIVoRCEs VoID.
a Decision That Htu FIJI the Country
Hith BtoduistS


Hqth BtgdmtstS.
GUTHRIE, o. T., Sept 4.-The local Su-
preme Court last evening handed down an
opinion which makes prominent and
wealthy citizen and a well-known Cincin-
natl lady bigamists, and will by its inter-
probation of the divorce law create con-
sternation among the thousands from all
parts of the United States who have Sc
cured Oklahoma divorces.
In May, 1895, after hard-fought trial.
Charles F. Beaek, we'll known writer of
legal textbooks, with offices in New York,
Chicago and Indianapolis, obtained a di-
vorce from his wife, Annie NJ. Beach. on
grounds OF cruelty and incompatibility.
Mrs. Beach at once appealed the case to
the Supreme Court, the transcript being
the most complete and voluminous ever
filed.
The court yesterday reversed the lower
court annulli1g the divorce and dismiss
ing the case. The ground for reversal in
error was that Beach was never resi-
dent in good faith of the Territory or the
county in which the divorce was grant
ed. The same holding by the court will
annul three-fourths of the divorces ever
granted here.
Beach. who is leading member of the
Manhattan Club and receives $40 600 a
year royalty from his numerous law text
books, has since married Mrs. Day, a
charming widow of Cincinnati, Ohio, and
the TWO are now travelling in Europe.

RHINELAND, No., Sept. 4.-Thomas
Larkin, tramp who gave mis- residence as
New York, was taken from the custody of
the Constable OF this township last night
and hanged to tree. His offense was
tiendish one.
Wednesday night as ALA Cannon, 49,
year-old deaf girl, was on her way home
she was attacked by Larkin. She resisted
him with all her might, and finding that
he could not subdue her he stabbed her
twice and then fed. She staggered home
and told her story.
Larkin was captured while waiting for
freight train and taken to the Rhineland
Hotel. A hundred farmers and factory
hands soon surrounded the hotel. The
Constable urged them to let the law take
its course and they disbanded, only to
nurse their wrath.
Last night they came again. Admittance
was refused the crowd when it reached the
hotel by the officers guarding the prisoner.
The mob then broke the door down and
seized Larkin. He begged and prayed for
them to spare him, but they took him to a
tree near town and swung him up, where
they left him fol the Coroner to hold an
inquest to-day.

The Condition of the Siletz
Lands.

The Oregonian in speaking Of
joint memorials to congress by the
state legislature, says:
"The first proposal for a joint
memorial for the coming session is
that offered by the Toledo LEADER,
which wants congress importuned
for a law concerning the Siletz res
ervation lands. The LEADER has
an impression that, when an Indian
to whom reservation land has been
allotted dies, his land virtually re-
verts to the government in trust,
being available neither for descent
to the heirs of the deceased nor for
filing by actual settlers. If this is a
fact, the Siletz reserve is differently
situated, under the law, from the
Umatilla, for example, where heirs
come into possession of the dead In
dams rights. 1t is supposed that
the law contemplates, in the case of
the Siletz reserve, that, in case of
death, the government holds the
land in trust for the tribe, pending
future Legislative action. There is
no good ground, apparently, for OBJ
lection to the LEADERS demand
that the land be sold to settlers and
the proceeds given to the heirs.
Whites and Indians are already in
terspersed on the Siletz reservation,
instead of being segregated in the
usual fashion, so that ace war and
assassination is not to be feared.
The civilizing tendencies of this
tribe, already marked, would be adj
vanced, and Lincoln county would
gain in settlement and development
of its area. This might very prop
erly form the subject of a joint me-
mortal"
The treaty and law concerning
the descent of property of dead In
dams provide that the state law
shall govern, the same as in other
estates. The trouble is that the
trust patents under which the Siletz
Indians hold their lands prevents
the county court from administer
Ing upon the estate, as far as the
lands are concerned. When an al
lottee now dies the land simply lays
there, being held in trust for the
heirs of the allotees, but the heirs
can do nothing with it.
