WORK OF A MOB.


MUsKoGEE, |. T., March 9l.-The
town of Wybark, five miles north Of
here, is al excitement over a crime
which was committed near there
Saturday night, by which a woman
and two men lost their lives and which
bids fair to rival any OF the horrible
crimes which are now on the crimi-
nal calendar OF the Indian terri
tory. Ed Chalmers, a negro. who
recently married white woman
named Headly, was visited Saturday
night by a mob of six white men, and
both Chalmers and his wife were shot
and killed by the mob. Chalmers
lived until yesterday morning and be-
fore he died he gave the names of some
of the men he recognized in the mob.
One of the assailants named Matthews
was mortally wounded by Chalmers.

TO Time for Taxes.
Special Dispatch to the IntelligeneeE.
CHARLESTON, W. Va, Sept. IL
The beard Of public works has won 3
big victory over the Pullman Palace
Car Company. For years a number OF
corporations have been doing a good
business In this state, and at the same
time have evaded taxation. Lobbyists
and shrewd lawyers have hitherto sue
ceeded in killing any bill aimed at these
corporations. Some Of the members OF
the board were OF the opinion that they
had authority under section 81, chapter
20, Of the code, to assess the property OF
the Pullman Car Company.
Attorneys Of the company denied the
boards right, but when the board re-
solved to test the matter in the courts,
the Pullman company yielded and re-
turned Its property for taxation. West,
Virginia will receive this yenF the first
money she has ever received from the
Pullman company
