The TahIequah Killing.

Full particulars of the killing OF
Jim Hampton by Buff Wyly at Table
quah Saturday evening. have been re-
ceived and Wyly seems to have been
fully justified in the act. Hampton
was nephew OF the late Ned Christie
and was considered bad man, besides
his acts at the time Of the killing
warranted young WHY in shooting
him. He snatched WHY'S pistol
from his belt and fired at him, eyi-
dentIy to Kill, and when WHY shot
him with the shot gun he was level.

unusual and preposterous.
Coming down to the facts, and
the real situation. we say the dig
nifty of the law should be upheld,
and the government of the United
States is back of it and it can be
upheld. 1t ought to be beneath
the dignity of an officer of the Uni
States to say that the law cannot
be enforced, and it is stigma and
slander upon Indian Territory
manhood to say that grand luries
in certain sections have no regard
for their oaths.
The law may be oppressive and
wrong in principle, but 1t is the
law Just the same and ought to be
upheld, and when an officer don't
feel that he can do his duty be
ought to resign. Away with the
thought that it is not possible to
enforce the law in the Indian Ter
ritory, or anywhere else where the
stars and stripes have ever gone.

PARKER's APOLOGY.
The Assistant Attorney Defends the
Non-Enforcement OF the Law.


To the editor of the Chieftain:
The report circulated here yes
terday and published by you last
night that intoxicating liquor was
on sale at Fairland was wholly
without foundation. There was
not the slightest evidence otintox-
ication either upon the streets or
at the grounds. A splendid pros
porous, law-abiding people were
there and they had a good time
without, as some people think in
dispensable, the assistance of in
toxicating liquors. The town au-
thorities, and the United States
marshal's Office were we'll repre-
sented, and if there had been any
thing OF the kind going on, it
would have been promptly report
ed. Private individuals may have
procured some for their own use,
but none was sold or offered for
sale. | think it is due to the town
of Fairland, and to the officers Of
the law who efficiently performed
their duty to make this contradic-
tion public. Respectfully,
L. F. PARKER,
Asst. q. S. Attorney.
In addition to the above Mr..
Parker states that he is aware that
mist and other intoxicants are be-
ing dispensed at Wagner and
Muskogee and other points in the
northern district, but that the fault
lies wholly at the door of the
grand juries Of the country who're
fuse to indict people at Muskogee
for the sale of liquor. He states
further that the courts cannot pros
ecute or prevent the sale Of liquor
unless the grand juries will act.
If this be true we would like to
ask by what authority the prose-
cutting attorney for the northern
district went to the depot in this
city few weeks ago and instruct
ed his deputies to break the heads
and spill the contents oftwo kegs
of beer shipped in for private use.
Where, oh where was the grand
jury ON that warm July day when
Mr.. Soper was seized with such
an over-weeniDg desire to enforce
the law. and to lay a strong hand
upon even the railroads to prevent
its introduction?
To jump up now and make the
statements Mr.. Parker makes
when it is known all over the
country that mist and other intox.
icants are being sold openly and
without let or hindrance, at Wag.
Toner, Muskogee and elsewhere. ID

1t is strange how prejudice will
work wonders. In late law suit
(the case of Clet Leblanc and
Wallie Theriotvs. Jos. G. LeBlanc)
one of the witnesses, Mrs. Prosper
Breaux, appeared and testified
against Leblanc and Theriot and
in favor Of JOS. G. Leblanc. A
few weeks ago this case was tried
before Judge Savoy Of the 4th,
ward.
Now-the best of it, is that the
witness Mrs. Prosper Baeaux re-
quested Judge Malagarie to hear
her in his Office, as she had some-
thing of importance to proclaim to
the public through justice. Upon
being requested to speak out, the
said Mrs. Prosper Brea ux swore
before three witnesses to an af-
fidavit of the following nature:
that her testimony given before
Justice Savoy was lot of false
