MURDERER BARBER
Who Killed One Man and
Fatally Shot Another.
Comes Into Logan and Surrenders to
the Sheriff.-Refuses to Talk About
the Crime.

Arthur Barber, the young
fellow who did the shooting
at the ice cream supper at Long
streth's last Monday night, in
which one mans life was sacrificed
and another is not expected to
live, after remaining in hiding for
thirty-six hours, drove up to Logan
Wednesday morning and hunting
up the sheriff, voluntailyy gave
himself up. Since giving himself
up, he has been continually besieg-
ed by newspaper men including
The OHIO DEMOCRAT reporter all
anxious to get the particulars of
the shooting for their respective
papers, but to all he turned dead
ear and respectfully, but determin-
edly refused to answer any quest
tions or say anything for publica-
tion.
When the OHIO DEMOCRAT man
called on him he was sitting in the
corridor in his stocking feet, busy
reading newspaper. He was very
willing to talk on any subject except
the shooting scrape. Whenever
this subject was broached, he re-
fused absolutely to say anything.
In conversation Sith his honor,
Judge o. w. Wright, relative to
the disposition of Barber and Dup
ler, his pal. whom Sheriff Ryan
took to the County Jail Tuesday
evening, Judge Wright replied that
he would have to figure on the ex-
pense as to whether it would he
cheaper to keep them in here until
the grand jury meets in September
or to call special session and dis
pose of the case at once. Barber
seems to take thing ccolly and
does not appear to realize the en-.
ormity of the crime.

Of Pleasantries.

HOTEL MADISON,
PORTSMOUTH, VIRGINIA.
Mr.. j. B. Dollison.
SIR:-It may perhaps be of in
terest to some of your readers to
know Of the whereabouts of a
"Weary Willie" who delights at
divers times to hang up his "derby"
and pull up close to the "mahog.
any" in the good old town of Logan.
Duty has brought me to this place,
hut its natural attractiveness pre-
vents the same cause from jerking
me away from here. We are but
IL miles from the Old Atlantic,
with a delightful breeze blowing
up from the coast, at all times tenn.
pering the fierce rays Of an almost
tropical sun. Norfolk isjust across
beautiful arm of Chesapeake Bay,
with ferry every 10 minutes. Just
below us is the United States Navy
Yard, which like all Government
Institutions EN- braces an abundant
amount Of Red Tape, and many
points of interest. Lying just off
from the Navy Yard is the u. s.
Receiving ship, Franklin, aboard
which Is stationed Lieut.. James
Cresap, U. s. A., who is an old Lo-
gan boy, and to whose beautiful
home on North Street of this city,
| have accepted an invitation to
call this afternoon, Although will
ing to tarry longer at this place, 1
shall have to leave here tomorrow
evening for Richmond. This point
is tho turning post In my eastern
trip, and after leave here I will
he working homeward the balance
Of the month with the idea in view
to be in Logan for the Logan High
School Commencement exercises.
So 1t Is just now with me as it was
with the Union Army near the
close Of the "late unpleasantness,"
and the oil cry of those stirring
times, "On to Richmond" finds an
echo In the make up of this "Wan-
deriDg Ike"
So for the present bid you a
fond farewell.
Yours Respectfully,
Frank b. Pond,
Portsmouth, Va.

shooting as had others testified
Dunk Christian poked his gun past
witness head and fired at Barber
latter returned the fire.
DACE EvANs.-Saw the shots
fred. Dunk Christian fred the
first shot. Saw it distinctly.
PEARL DUPLER.-Was with Du-
pier. Both been drinking. Didn't
know that he ever said for Barber
to go in, he would stay with him,
except in jocular way down stairs,
Didn't know Barber had loaded
gun. Was on his way home when
shooting occurred.
MISS CHRIsTIAN.-Thir cousin
of the deceased. Was going home
with Dupler, an hundred feet from
the hall when shooting took place.
At this iuncture motion was
made by Buerhaus, attorney for the
defense, to discharge Dupler. The
court accept ID the motion and dis
charged the prisoner.
ARTHUR BARBER.-Was up in
hall several times. Had some dis
pute with old man Christian. Went
down and back again; was stand
ing against a bench. Saw young
Christian rush toward him. Call
him an son-of-a-b-; pulled his
gun and fred at deft. Defendant
returned fire. Did not know
young Christian. Never had any
trouble with him.
Several other witnesses were
called and about the same story
told.
LATER.--Arguments were made
by the attorneys resulting In the
court binding the defendant Barber
over under the charge of murder
in the first degree.
The court held that though the
testimony run that Christian, the
deceased, fred the first shot, yet
Barber had provoked the quarrel,
had been looking for trouble, had
fred several shots trying to murder
the father after the son was killed;
that self defense constituted CIV
il means to defend ones self; that
going away and leaving trouble is
often the best; defendent persisted
in having quarrel, though at
the time of the shooting he was
second to shoot, yet he was the
agressor, in provoking the quarrel.
The Common Pleas Court Judge
o. w. Fl. Wright, will probably call
L special grand jury in June and
have the case heard.

CAMERON, /. T., April 2l.-The Dawes
commission and the citizens and resi-
dents of the Indian territory have
been trying to agree upon the treaty
to be reported to congress, and for that
purpose met at Atoka, Choctaw nation,

vision in the treaty heretofore agreed
upon by the United States commission

satisfactory, and the citizens of the
various towns organized the opposition
