DIE FERRIS CONFESSION.
CofeyvilIe Negroes story of the Muir
der of Nathan Sheffield Last
Sunday.

Coffeyville, Nov. 1S.-William Ferris,
one of the negroes arrested for the muir
der of Nathan Sheffield, ten miles south
of this city, Sunday night, has made a
confession to officers. He says Gus
Lowry came to his house about 8
o'clock Sunday night, and said he and
Charles Keys had killed Nathan Shelf
field. They wanted Ferris to take a.
team and haul the body to the railroad
three miles distant. They offered him
$3.50 for the job. Ferris says he was
afraid to refuse, and did as was directed
by Lowry. He says the body was bleed
ing, and that when they put it over the
fence at the railroad, he saw that Shelf
field was not yet dead. The body was
carried quite a distance up the track
from the wagon crossing to make be-
neve that Sheffield had been run over
while walking on the track. Ferris
then drove back home and Lowry came
to COffeyville.
Investigation confirms Ferris story.
Lowry and Keys are both bad men.
Keys was formerly deputy United
States marshal. All parties implicated
have been taken to Vinita, I. T. There
is talk of lynching.
The motive for the crime is found in
the fact that Lowry stole a. horse from
Sheffield a week ago, and had also
forged Shefield's name to a check. and
Sheffield was about to begin prosecu-
ton. Lowry also wanted some land
Sheffield had leased. Ferris has lived
in this city for several years and is not
a. bad man.

The Soldier Vote Buncombe Unload

The soldier vote, which has caused so
it was first thought of last summer,
may never be counted in the election at
all, or a great part of it may not.
The same law that provides tor the
voting of soldiers also states that the
votes must be canVassed by the state
canvassing board on the second Monday
in December, and that the county can
wasting boards must canvass the vote
on the third Monday in December. At
torney General Boyle has rendered a
verbal opinion that if the votes have
not been delivered to the secretary of
state by the second Monday in Deem
Der the official canvass must proceed
without them and they will not be
counted at all.
AS the first two battalions of the
Twentieth regiment left Honolulu be-
fore the abstract of the vote was pre-
pared it is not expected that the alb
stract will reach here until long after
the time set by law for the canvassing
be started back until the regiment
reaches Manila. 1t will make no diff
ference with the state officers, but it
will make a difference to several mem
bers of the legislature and to county
officers in various counties who either
won or lost the election by a narrow
margin and who are depending on the
soldier vote to elect them.
The soldier vote has been the cause
of a great deal of touble and expense
and the soldiers did not care much
forcing the issue in the election was
Matched by Republican politicians to
make trouble for the POpulist poll

PUDDING FOR LAWYERS.
Who Probably Get Most of This
Money Awarded to Indians.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The court of
claims today rendered judgment for ST.
s69, 400 in favor of the New York Indians
who entered suit against the United
States to recover the value of certain
lands donated to them in Kansas, and
subsequently disposed Of by the United
States.
The award is in pursuance of a man
date from the United States supreme
court. The case has been pending in the
courts for about five years. These lands
had been set apart as a reservation for
them by the treaty of 1888, but the lands
were never occupied by them, and were
sold by the government and tNe pro-
ceeds placed in the United States treas
ury. The court of claims originally
decided against the Indians, but the SUI
and directed the award in their favor
of the net amount actually received by
the government for the Kansas lands,
less the amOLnt to which the TOnawan-
da and Senecas would have been enti-
tied, and less other just deductions.
