If reports are not misleading, there
will be some positive developments IN
this section emanating from the Ma
tional Glass Company either to-day or
tomorrow. There is but one local
plant that is likely to be absorbed by
the combine at present, but it is GER
tainly known that others have received
propositions, and in one other instance
at least, which the Register is not at
liberty to divulge, they are being con-
sidered with no small degree Of serious
ness.
A gentleman who is in position to
know the inside of the Crystal deal
stated yesterday that it will likely be
known to-day or tomorrow II that
concern is to lose its entity or continue
to exist as separate and Independent
corporation. There is one thing that
has acted as a hindrance in this deal,
and had it been possible to overcome 1t
the works might have become the prop
erty of the National some weeks ago.
Being a West Virginia corporation, it
has been prevented from transferring
the stock to the National and accepting
syndicate stock as a consideration.
This could be done if the consent OF
every dollar of stock could be secured,
but this would be very doubtful. The
only alternative then is to sell the
stock outright and purchase National
stock if such is desired. The necessity
of carrying on the transaction upon
cash basis has initiated against the
deal being consummated as easily as 1t
otherwise would have been.
In accordance with this, the owners
of the Crystal have made the combine
a proposition upon the basis of cash
sale, and final answer to this proposal
is now expected. The proposition in
cludes stock on hand, book accounts
and good will and cash on hand accru-
ing from the time the option was
given.
The gentleman who volunteered the
above information said: "You may
look for other factories in this vicinity
to go into the combine, too, if they get
the terms the Crystal people are ask
ing. Some Of them are holding back
and making believe they are not caring
to be absorbed, but at heart they are
anxious to get in. You may rely upon
it, too, that tableware goods are going
to go up pretty soon. 1t can't be help
ed. Material is UP, wages are likely
to go up; in fact, the convention now
in session is asking for a big raise, the
combine is getting control, and why
won't prices take jump? If | don't
miss my guess, you will pay more for
table goods the coming year than you
have paid for ten years back"
The same party, when asked as to
the figure the Crystal people are ask
ing, said that it is all of 100000. This
is better than two for one of the capital
stock, and if the thing goes through it
will be one Of the most profitable sales
that have taken place since the manu-
featuring world began to rotate in the
direction of industrial monopoly.

CHICAGO, July 13-A special to the
Tribune from Goodlands, l. T., says:
VIM. Goings, "Walla Tonka, the
Choctaw Indian, was shot at Alikichi,
l. T., to-day under sentence of the
Choctaw court, for murder.
Feeling among the Choctaws was
aroused by a report that an attempt
would be made to stop the execution
by another writ of habeas corpus.
Application was made yesterday to
Federal Judge John r. Thomas for
writ OF habeas corpus by an Antlers at
torney. An order by Judge Thomas
granting the writ was telegraphed from
Tulsa, l. T., last night 1t directed the
Indian sheriff TO have the body OF Go
ings at South McAlester on July %,
and a deputy marshal arrived at Ali
kichi with the writ at daylight this
morning. District Attorney Clay and
Sheriff Thomas Watson were in consul
tation when it was presented.
The sheriff refused to receive it. The
district attorney declared that Judge
Abner James, the Choctaw judge, alone
could stop the execution"
A runner was dispatched to Judge
James, sixteen miles away, notifying
him of the telegram from Judge
Thomas. He was in be sick and sent a
verbal message to go ahead with the
execution. 1t was noon when the mes
sage was received.
The execution took place two hours
later and was a sickening sight. A few
minutes before Goings was led out
four Choctaws appeared bearing
coffin 1t was deposited in front of the
court house. Near it a quilt was spread.
The condemned Indian, supported by
Sheriff Watson and deputy and es-
corted by twenty light horsemen,
marched down the line of spectators.
Goings then knelt on the quilt blindfold-
ed The sheriff barred his bosom, painted
a spot over his heart. stepped back four
PAGES, rested a rifle across bench and
fred The bullet entered the breast but
missed the spot. Goings fell backward and
moaned for an hour before he expired.
Water was poured down his throat a num-
Der of times to hasten death by strangula-
ton
While the execution was proceeding Dis
tr.ct Attorney Clay remarked: I'VE are
making history
1t remains to be seen what action the
U. S. government will take defiance of the
writ
The crime for which Goings was shot
was the murder of his uncie, Mason Co
ings, in December 1896. He was sentenced
to be shot August % 1887. and the court
granted a respite that Goings might play
base ball with the nine of the Choctaw
Nation during 1898.
MAY BE A FAKE.
BULLETIN.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 13.-Alikichi is
over 80 miles from the telegraph office at
Goodland. The story from Goodland tell
ing of the execution of Goings, the Choc-
taw, is probably a fake.
