State Secretary-treasurer w. d. Ryan, of

Monday night was all done by the soldiers,
who fired at each other. Tonight the ad-
jutant general received the following mes
sage from Colonel Bennett:
II have made an investigation and will
forward affidavits by mail. There is no truth
in the statements. The troops did not fire
upon themselves. 1t Is all a blind. Nor
did they fire upon the train or put dyna-
mite near the mine. The shots fired were
not blanks and were fired into the mining
property over the heads OF my men, as will
be shown by the affidavits."
Acting Governor Warder, in speaking Of
the statements made by Secretary Ryan,
tonight. said: II am going to sift this mat
ter thoroughly and will see who is telling
the truth. / know the young men of the
Carbondale company. They are of the best
families in that section of the country, and

MAY BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
Officers Who Deled n Writ and Sho
William Goings.

TULSA, I. T., July 15-The execution of
William Goings, the Choctaw Indian, in de-
fance of a writ Of habeas corpus issued by
United States Judge John r. Thomas, will
be made the direct causes for bringing those
implicated to TRIAL for murder. Judge
Thomas, in an interview last night. twenty
miles west Of here. where he is fishing and
camping with a party Of friends, stated he
would see that the law in respect to dis
obeying an order from the United States
government Is fully investigated and that
all the guilty ones are brought to justice.
The open violation of Judge Thomas's order
has created much excitement and it is pre-
dicted it marks the beginning of the end
of conflicting laws in the Indian Territory.
AS a matter Of fact all tribal avs in the
Territory are of no effect, yet all the tribes
cling to their old Indian avs and continue
to insist on sel-f-government.

NEGROES SHOT BY A MOB
FIRED ON BY STRIKERS WHILE
QUIETLY EATING wATERMELoNs.
Two Killed Outright and Another Fa-
by White Miners

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. July 15.-Two ne
groes were killed outright n another was
fatally shot in a fight tonight at shkoda
between the striking miners and the negroes
who have been imported from Georgia to
take their places. After the first brush the
firing became almost general throughout
the mining town, but deputies who were
sent from here had restored quiet at mid
night.
The killing seems to be the result Of a
plot. Tonight about 8 o'clock a party Of
twenty-five or thirty negroes were
gathered In one Of the large mess
halls Of the company eating water
melons. The house was suddenly fired
upon from ambush. Fully a hundred shots
were fired and the walls were riddled. The
negroes scattered in every direction. When
the deputies reached the house they found
the bodies of two negroes shot all to pieces.
Sixteen bullets had penetrated one. A third
was found almost in a dying condition.
Shooting soon began afresh in several other
places. The shooting became 50 general
that the deputies could not cope with the
situation, and Sheriff OBrien was notified.
A special train left here at $40 o'clock with
reinforcements.

WASHINGTON. July 15.-Up to the pres

government has transmitted to the United
States a copy Of a petition addressed to it

the present government In the Transvaal is
tyrannical, as declared by other uitland-
ers, supported by Great Britain. The peti-
ton was circulated in May and addressed
to the Boer government, and a copy OF 1t
has been received at the State Department.
Sir Alfred Miner. the British high commits
sioner, in writing TO Mr.. Chamberlain con-
corning the petition, declared that IL was
