CHOCTAW EXECUTION.
Chastity in Detail and Against
u. S. Court Orders.

w ms OOlHSe, Lno iuiiNioou
Choctaw who was sentenced by the
Choctaw court and execution
stayed by the United States court
two or three times, was finally
shot Thursday at Alikchi by the
Choctaw sheriff in the face oi an
order from Judge Thomas, as fol-
lows:
Tulsa, July 12.-To Thomas
Watson, sheriff, Antlers, |. T.:
You are hereby commanded to
have the body of VIM. Goings de-
tanned in your custody, as it is
said, together with the day and
cause Of his being taken, before me
at the court house in South Nc
Alester on the 22d day of July at
the hour of 1890 in the forenoon,
and then and there state in writing
the cause of his Imprisonment and
producing your answer, 80 doing
and not TO fail under the heavy
penalty OF the law against those
who disobey this writ, and to sub
NIT all those things which then
and there adjudged in this behalf.
Given under my hand this 18th
day Of July. JOHN R. THOMAS,
Judge in and for the Indian Ter
ritory.
Again, long. wild ride over
the mountains, through the deep,
tangled bottoms in great haste to
the Indian court house at Alikchi,
and the presentation Of the order
from Judge Toomas' court. Again
the bullet that was to slay VIM.
Goings was stayed, and the sheriff
hesitated. He held an order from
Judge James of the Choctaw court
to execute Goings, and here was
an order rom another court, un-
der which he was not acting, to
have the body of Goings in South
McAlester on July 22d, where the
case should be again reopened.
The sheriff was in quandary. He
knew not what course to pursue,
and in his dilemma he appealed to
Judge James. The judge asked If
there was any evidence of the
court over which Judge Thomas
presided having jurisdiction or any
evidence why the execution should
not take place. There was none,
and the decision of Judge James
was that the United States court
had no jurisdiction, and that the
order of the Indian court must be
final and carried out. This set
tied the indecision OF Sheriff Wat
son and again preparations were
made for the execution OF Goings.
Two ministers OF the Methodist
Episcopal faith had been in prison
with him preparing him for death,
but when the Indian came out it
was the Indian stole who appeared
and not the Christian martyr going
to his execution. No fate is so
black that it daunts the Indian to
walk to it with steady step, and
with head erect, and staunch, firm
tread. VIM. Goings went to bis
fate, to die at the hands of the
law of his tribesmen who decreed
that he was guilty of murder and
must pay the highest penalty for
his crime.
Preparations for she execution
had been completed. Goings was
placed on bis knees, handker-
chief was bound over his eyes to
exclude the sight of the weapon
that meant his death. Two guards
held him by the arms, while

MURDERED AT GALENA.
A Former Resident Killed
While Sleeping.

G. O. Purvis, living on the Du-
pree iarm about two miles north
of Vinita, received a telegram yes
terday stating that his son, John
Purvis, had been murdered. There
were no particulars, as the tele-
gram only made inquiry as to
what should be done with the
body. John Purvis was about 38
years old and was well known by
quite q number throughout the
country. His father left last night
for Galena, to make arrangements
for bis burial.
The story of Purvis' killing is
thus told in dispatch to one OF
the Kansas City papers from Ga
lena:
"John B. Purvis was killed at
Lowell last night while sleeping
beside his huckster wagon. He
and friend were on the way to
Vinita, |. t., and camped near
Lowell for the night. Purvis'
companion was awakened by shots
fred by two negroes, so he claims,
and seeing .hsm rifling the pock-
cts OF Purvis, made a run TOR
life pursued by the negroes almost
into Lowell. A posse of citizens
found Purvis dead and no trace of
the negroes was found. Purvis'
companion was arrested for the
murder.
