Lovers Deadly Quarrel.

Denver, Colo, Aug. "a
double tragedy that seems to have
been due to a lovers quarrel oc-
Cured in the early hours this
morning near River Front Park.
At 1:30 O'Clock people living in
the neighborhood of Thirty second
and Clear Greek avenues heard
faint calls for help. Investigation
disclosed George Bond in the street
with bullet wound in his breast
and weak from the loss of blood.
Later the dead body of Goldie Nc
Conkey was found several blocks
distant with two bullet wounds
in her breast. Bond denies having
killed his sweetheart and SAYS that
some one unknown to him shot
them both.
Appearances indicate that the
wounds were not inflicted by a
person standing at any distance,
for the clothing of Miss McConkey
was burned with the fire of the
revolver and the shirt on Bonds s
breast was scorched.

BANKERS ARRESTED.
CHARGED with Violating the W ar Revenue
Law Receipts Must be stamped.

Four Mcpherson Ks., bankers
and two millers were arrested yes
terday by Deputy United States
Marshal Fred Trige for violating the
ruling of the treasury department re-
garding the use of receipts. 1t is
charged that the bankers and the
millers have been violating the law
by the latter sending receipts to the
banks for collections by an employe
The bank has honored these receipts
and has, in every case, cashed them
the same as checks. Last February
the treasury department made a ru-
ling that 2 cent revenue stamp did
not have to be attached to a receipt,
where it was made out in the pres
ence of both parties. This rendered
1t possible for a man to go to the
bank, make out receipt, and draw
his money without putting upon it
the stamp, which the government
demands on check. Eli Williams,
president of the bank, asserts that
if the receipt can be lawfully used by
the party making it, it can be trans
ferred to any one else, and be c"llec-
ted the same as a check. The gov
ernment does not agree with Mr..
Williams on this point and the ar
rest of the bank officials and the mill
Iers was caused for this reason

LETTERS CAPTURED.

OF High InsurRent y.-ExhortIna
their Troops to Hold out Little Longer
Washington Aug. 10-From Otis:
Captured letters of high iEsurgent
authority which exhorts the in
surgents to hold out a little longer
as European recognition will be
granted August 81, and the present
United States authority overthrown."
The telegram did not state by
whom the authority of the United
States would be overthrown, presum
ed however, that it was to be crushed
by a European combination. This
pleading on the part of leaders is
looked upon as indicating that the
organization of Tagals is about to fall
to pieces and the leaders resort to
trickery to hold their people to-
gether.
Washington Aug. 1C.-Jtis wired
today: The transport Pennsylvania
is at Iloilo this morning. The Sher-
idan should leave Manila this after
noon." August Otis informed the
war department that the Minnesota
and South Dakota volunteers were
loading on the Sheridan.

Proposition From South McAIester to
Interior Department. Maps and PIats.

Interior DeDartment,M Maps and PIats.
The McAlester Capital has the
following:
Mr.. j. F. McMurray returned
yesterday from Washington City
where he went two weeks ago to
look after private interests and in
cidentally discover if possible what
chance South McAlester had for
an early and final adjustment of
the incorporation and townsite
problems.
Mr.. McMurray said he met
parties in the Interior Department
whose business it was to pass on
the plats of the town which were
being laid out and which would be
appraised by the territory. He
stated that he asked these parties
whether the maps already drawn
would be considered by the depart
ment. The department assured
him that these maps would be con-
sidered and cOmSelled him to for
ward the map of South McAlester
and to send the propositions along
with the map. 1t may be that the
map and plat of South McAlester
will be accepted aud be made final.
Mr.. McMurray met Mr.. Kenneth
S. Murchison, the gentleman con-
nected with the Indian Department
who passes finally on these ques-
tions. He found in Mr.. Murchi-
son a gentlemen particularly well
qualified for the position, accomo-
dating and pleasant in his manners.
He impressed on Mr.. Murchison
the fact that he should come
to the territory, notably South Nc
Alester and get acquainted with the
people and the physical condition
that environ this city; that this
would be the most satisfactory way
of settling this affair Mr.. Muir
Gibson intimated that he would if
possible pay South McAlester an
early visit and that he would take
pains to post himself on all the
conditions.
1t is thought that the depart
ment will carefully consider the
map and plat of South McAlester
as presented to the court here and
that an opinion will be given at
an early date which will settle the
question as to the power of the In
terror department to pass on these
questions in advance of the maps
and plats which might be forward =
ed from the tOwnsite commission

KENTUCKY FOLIlICs,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-The factional
fight among kentucky Democrats was
transferred to the floor of the House
to-day, interfering itself without
previous notice into the midst of the
debate on the financial bill. Yester-
day Mr.. Berry had said, apropos to
the suggestion that Kentucky might
become a Republican State, that Tay.
lor would not have come within 40, 900
votes Of election had it not been for
Democrats who believed in honesty
and fairness in politics. To the init
nation thus conveyed, Mr.. Wheeler,
of the first district of Kentucky, and
the special represe NATIVE of Goebel,
today took exceptions. He eulogized
Goebel. Colonel Berry was quickly on
his feet as Mr.. Wheeler closed and
responded savageIy, personally and
with much feeling.
