Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-12-16

t4SHE TERRITORY jails are ruled
z by kangaroo" court as to be-
hayior, etc., and thoroughly ruled.
AS soon as a new man is put 10, the
august tribunal is at once assembled,
a fine of a dollar inevitably follows
and the poor fellow who is not possess
ed that sum has immediate cause for
regret as he is unceremoniOusly tied
across chair and whipped. The fines
are used to purchase tobacco and SIM
liar necessities(?) of life. The know
ing ones never fail to raise dollar
somehow, before going to jail-eyen
if they have to borrow 1T from their
attorney. While Mont Skinner was
in Muskogee Jail he held the position
Of Judge" and very good one he was.
On his release the inmates sent word
up here to send them down another
they had never had SINNERS equal
and wanted another from the same
section.

EAIRE WAS DISCOVERED Friday
10 morning about o'clock in Rev.
w. I. Kings barn at the Presbyterian
parsonage, but was under such head
way before assistance arrived that the
entire building, together with two
horses and phaeton, harness and a
quantity Of hay and oates, were de-
stroyed. One of the animals was a
very fine driving animal, one Of the
very best in the town and the phaeton
was almost new. The S. H. Skinner
barn on the adjoining lot was also
burned; DR.. Clinkscales' barn just
across the alley was scorched; the
side next to the barn was burned to a
coal. The origin of the fire is pro-
found mystery, the most plausible
theory however, is that a tramp had
slept in the building and in striking a
match had set the hay on fire.

smart enough to secure a conviction
of murder in the first degree. The
sheriff adjusted the cap, and placed
his hand on the lever, when his at
tention was attracted by COM
motion in the crowd A man on
horseback was waving a prepaid
telegram over his head.
"Hurrahl Pardon from the
Governerl Cut the ropem were
the cries that reached the agonized
ears of Dirks and the sheriff.
Fooled againW were the only
words he uttered, as the crowd
carried him in triumph to a saloon.
He left Texas as soon as he could.
He said he wanted to move to a
civilized country, where some con-
sideration was shown TO a poor
man who was trying to get to
heaven. He changed his name to
Muldoon, went to Pennsylvania,
and was one of the Molly Maguires
who were hung there some years
ago. He found in Pennsylvania
that which his own State had so
persistently refused to grant him
in spite of his earnest Efforts

fend him. Neither Of the lawyers
had ever had a case before, and
they did not look as if they knew
anything anyhow. They had the
case continued. Next term they
made out affidavits showing alb
sence of material witnesses, and
had it continued again. When the
case came up they got a change OF
venue. Then it was continued
once more, because one of the law
yers was confined to his room nurs-
ing a black eye. This exasperated
Dirks very much, but he could not
help himself. At last the case was
tried, and thirteen credible wit
nesses swore that at the time the
murder was committed Dirks was
forty-fve miles away, engaged in
reading Baxter's Saints Rest"
He was again, in the most inhospi-
table manner, turned out of Jail
acquitted.
He went and bought five dollars
worth of strychnine, carried it.
home and gave it to the cook. The
cook was prompt in dying, and
Dirks was arrested. The druggist
proved that Dirks bought the poi
son. The cooks nephew swore
that he saw the poisoner put it in
the soup. The defense proved by
experts that five cents worth of
strychnine would have killed the
cook dead enough for all practical
purposes, The prisoner used five
dollars worth, therefore the jury
said he was insane. Once more he
was cast out on cold and unfeel-
ing world.
He kept on reading about the
pearly gates of the New Jerusalem,
now there was no sickness there
(Dirks suffered from rheumatism }
aud all the angels were flying
about with harps and six-shooters
in their hands, so he yearned more
than ever to fly away and be at
rest. He could get hung at any
time by stealing ten.dolar COW.
pony; but he had noticed that
those fellows who were strung up
by Il mob died without hope; that
it was the murderer who was hung
according to law who was certain
of "home over there"
Shiner gazette. [volume] (Shiner, Tex.) 1893-current, 1897-07-07

Just then q young man, with a
pencil and a smile, came in and
said, II want TO interview you,
Colonel Dirks, about" when
Dirks reached out and blew him
into hddlestrings with his shot
gun.
"Dirks has had another mis-
fortune" was the universal COM
ment; but this time, by some in
explicable complication of circum-
stances he was convicted of muir
der in the first degree. When the
verdict was announced, he shook
hands with each juryman, and
with real tears of gratitude in his
eyes, thanked them and called
them his benefactors. Then he
gave himself up to singing "The
Sweet Bye and Bye" "Shall We
Gather at the River" and hymns
of that class, for the judge had
yielded to his request that he be
hung inside of week at the jail
yard. And the young ladies visited
him in Jail, and brought him
flowers every day, he felt happy,
because he knew that only afro
cious murderers who were sure Of
heaven were treated that way.
The happy moment had arrived.
The instrument of death doomed up
before a vast sea of upturned
faces" as the newspaper reporters
put it. A silence came over the
unnumbered multitude. The
doomed man assembled the scaffold,
leaning on the arm of the sheriff,
and accompanied by several clergy
men. The sheriff with a husky
voice read the death warrant, after
which one of the condemned mans
spiritual advisers offered up a
touching prayer. The sheriff asked
the doomed man if he wanted to
say anything. He did, 1t was
just like all the last speeches Of
condemned iAurderers as reported
in the newspapers. In few min
utes more he would he in heaven
with harp in his hand, singing
hymns of triumph. He babe the
crowd farewell. He never expected
to see them any more, unless, o,
course, like him, they would be

THE FOURTH.

The Moulton Park Verein scored
another signal success Sunday and
had delightful picnic celebration
of the historic Fourth. Visitors be-
gan pouring into town as early as
8 o'clock, about 200 coming over
from Halletsville. Moore's hotel
was crowded with guests and some
seventy-fve took dinner there. 1t
was about 2 o'clock when the crowd
began gathering at the park, and
soon some 800 or 1000 people had
assembled there. The ladies were
out in force and were in evidence
everywhere, at the ball game, at
the bicycle races, at the dancing
pavilion and at all the booths
They lent the occasion quite a gala
appearance.
1t has come to be a saying that
it takes Moulton TO have feasts,
picnics and other celebrations and
make them success, and the say
ing seems true. The people have
come to look upon Moulton as the
proper place for such affairs.
The match game of ball between
Moulton and Halletsville had at
tracted a large number of visitors
but proved great disappointment.
The game was called about 4;30
and Halletsville went to the bat
and scored ten runs, Moulton
then famed out and Halletsville
made two more runs. Finally
Moulton got started and had made
five runs when a squabble arose
which ended the game, Halletsville
refusing to accept the umpire's de-
cision, aud the game was awarded
to Moulton, 3 to 0, although the
score stood 10 to 5 in Halletsville's
favor. The dispute arose over a
blocked ball. The I'm ire was
John Hawkins of Halletsville
The Moulton boys were eager to
continue the game but Halletsville
was obstinate and clearly in the
wrong and left the grounds in a
body after a general scrap had been
narrowly averted, They make a
fine appearance and play excellent
ball. Their manager is Eugene
Blakeslee.
In the bicycle race Fred Crosby
was winner.
