THE INEVITABLE RESULT
CLYDE MATTOX MUST BECOnE
A PROFESSIONAL OUTLAW.
OstracIsed From Civilization lie Must
Become a Leader of Bands as Did
Dalton, JenRines. ChrIstIan and the
LIke-fiIs Destiny.

Guthrie, Okla. April 17.-Clyde
Mattox, the five times murderer, is
doomed to become Clyde Mattox,
the outlaw. Far out in the widest
of the Indian landslide natural
home of the true Western desper-
ADDS the young fugitive from
justice, and the probability that he
will return to a civilized commu-
nifty, unless to deal out death and
destruction, is small
The belief formerly INDUCED in
at Ponca City, the scene of his fifth
murder, that Mattox would even
tually return and surrender himself
to the authorities has been aban-
doned. This would be contrary to
all or the former acts of his life
and a quiet peculiar performance
for a young man who has sent a
quintette of men to eternity be-
fore he has reached the age of 81.
No one realizes better than Mattox
himself that to surrender now
would be suicide. He has suffered
less from the authorities than most
men who have done murder but
once, and, while his final pardon
from President Mckinley was Dot
conditional, he realizes full well
that his last crime was one that will
doom him to life Imprisonment un-
less by his remarkable strategy and
extraordinary bravado he can evade
capture. He escaped from the seat
of the crime, forced his pursuers
to retreat when he encountered
them, and went into the reservation
a free man.
Clyde Mattox' second life is now
to begin. He it is who is to restore
the reputation of the Indian Ter
ritory as a hotbed of outlaws and
desperadoes. The arrest and in
generation of Al Jennings did not
accomplish the happy result of put
ting an end to outlawry in the wild
west, for the young man, Mattox
was present to assume the laurels
Jennings was forced to discard.
a life of outlawry for Clyde is
inevitable. There is no turning
back. He must forever remain
away from civilized life and before
him there are probably years
haps a score of them-in which he
must provide the necessities of his
existence.
Mattox, however will not have
this life to fight alone. All about
the country in which the young man
has sought refuge are bands filled
with characters fitted by very nature
and their earliest surroundings to
live as he will live. They have
needed but opportunity and a leader
and Clyde Mattox and the present
furnish both. With such a cour.
ageous. dareing, desperate young
man as this child of the Western
plains to head them, it is indeed
. reasonable to expect a band of ont
laws as terrible as the James boys
the Youngers or the Daltons evel
were.
Settlers in the Territory whC
have known Mattox since the ear
ltist days predict this future fol
him. They say he cannot escape
it. 1t will come, they say, as {
! natural consequence. Mattox i,
banished from the civilized worlC
and he will be a leader of men il
his new world.

BIundering Attempt to SwIndIe.

Vinita. l. T., April ia very
clumsy forgery has come to light
in this city. A man representing
himself as D. B. Rolling presented
at the First National bank of this
city, to Cashier w. P. Philips, a
note purporting to have been sign
ed by Jay Forsythe and Lou APP
pleby of Tulsa. This note called
for $500 and was secured by a
ehattel mortgage. 1t was clear to
Cashier Philips that the note,
mortgage, jurat, nOtary's certifi-
cate, and, in fact, all signatures to
the papers were in the same hand
writing. Rolling failed to get the
money on the note, as the bank
officials regarded the matter with
suspicion as soon as they saw the
note and mortgage, and Rolling
was induced to leave the mortgage
with the bank to be sent to the Of
flee of the United States court at
Muskogee, l. T., for filing. For
sythe was communicated with by
wire and denied the execution OF
such instruments. Cashier Philips
returned last night from Tulsa,
where he had gone to identify a
man there whom the officers
thought to be Rolling, but it was

MUST BURY THEIR DEAD.
The Iowa Indisns Must Abate Tribal
NuIaaneea.

Guthrie, April 1.-THE boards
of health of Lincoln and Payne
counties have been asked to abate
the nuisances of the Iowa Indian
grave yards in those counties.
These Indians persist in their old
custom of depositing their dead on
the surface of the ground, in small
houses. The odor from the de-
composing bodies is unbearable
and attracts large numbers of buz-
yards and wolves. The grave yard
in Lincoln county is at Falls, and
the one in Payne county about six
miles south of Perkins. 1t is prob
able that the Indians will be forced
to bury their dead,

THE DOCTORS BAD GUESS.
Mrs. Mary Jane Doolin Was Not AT

In November, 1891, Mrs. Mary Jane Doo-
lin, wife of Michael Joseph Doolin was
riding in one of the old Omnibus Cable
Companys horse cars. when the horses
ran away and carried the vehicle over a
bank The passenger was injured and
according to the complaint filed in an
action for damages against the company
two years later, she was a physical wreck
and mentally impaired on account of the
accident. When the case was on hearing
in September, 1893. three physicians of
standing in this city testified that they
had examined the sufferer and found that
she was afflicted with a huge tumor,
gravated by the accident. The plaintiff
was awarded 500 600 by a sympathetic
jury
The money was paid over but few
months later the street company went
into court and asked for new trial of
the case on the ground of the damages
being excessive and that newly discov-
cred evidence had been found which
would have a material bearing upon the
case. The newly discovered evidence con-
sisted Of a baby that the woman had
given birth to a few weeks after obtain
ing the damages. When the Judge of the
lower court found that baby and not
a tumor cut an important figure in the
case. he ordered the Doolins to refund

HOME FOR WORKING GIRLS.
DR.. Wilson Makes an Appeal for It's
SUPPORT

An urgent appeal is made by Rev J.
A. B. Wilson on behalf of the Co-opera-
tive Home for self-supporting small sal
aried women at 645 Folsom street The
home is new institution and was
founded by DR.. Wilson of the Howard
street NJ. f. Church last January. 1t is
the second of its kind in the United
States. the first having been founded by
DR.. Wilson in New York City some years
ago.
DR.. Wilson's object was to provide a
haven for self-respecting women who. be-
cause of meager compensate ton. find it i'm
possible to secure agreeable and proper
boarding houses.
The home in, this city, which is called
the Cooperative No. 2, is under the ac-
tive direction of Mrs Mary MacNey and
has been found to work admirably. The
conditions under which young women are
taken into the institution have made it
necessary to appeal for funds to carry
on the worthy. project. Inc inmates pay
less They receive good food and there
is little left after the rent (s27 50) is paid
Mrs. Mackley states, that the home is
are every day refused admission for lack
of room. The house contains but ten
apartments and there are twenty-one oc-
cupants. 1t has been found necessary to
place cots in the rdtchen and dining room
to accommodate them. Another and
much more commodious house is needed,
ana Ut. wilson would IKE to see chari-
tably inclined people make the extension
of the good work possible. He says that
with three months rent and furniture
for building he can make the place self
supporting His idea is to take care of
100 young girls. They are subject to no
rules or regulations, except that they
mon laws of propriety.
The idea is to give the inmates a two
years course in household work and the
project is in every way worthy of the
substantial support of charitable people.

EQUITABLE GAS STOCK.
Directors Deny That the Competing
Company Has Been Absorbed.

VThe report that the Equitable Gaslight
Company has been absorbed by the San
Francisco Gas and Electric Light Com
pany through a transfer of a large block
of stock has created a great deal of inter-
est in local financial circles. The officers
of the Equitable Gasight Company deny
emphatically that their company has
passed under the control of the older
corporation or that it ever will be so alb
sorbed. They insist that the new com
pany was organized honestly to compete
with the old and has carried out its prom
ise to the community.
majority of the stock of the new COM
pany is held in a pooling agreement, the
most important provision of which is that
none of the stock so pooled shall be sold
to rival gas corporation or it's agents.
The books of the Equitable Gaslight Com
pany show that no stock has been sold
since early in April. and that only small
blocks were sold to individual buyers FOR

Street.

A CHASTITY discovery was made early
yesterday morning by F. n. Blackman,
who resides in the second story of 1725
Market street
The ground floor was used as a carpen-
ter shop and sleeping apartment by E.
Carmody, a man about 60 years old. The
shop had not been opened since May 80 or
81 but Mr.. Blackman did not think that
anything was wrong, for the shop was
often closed for two or three days at a
time But he became aware of an intol-
erabe odor arising from the rear of the
shop yesterday morning, and. he at once
notified the police The door was forced
open, and in a back room the body of
Carmody was found in an advanced stage
of decomposition 1t was fully dressed,
living back on the bed, with a closed UNI
brela in the hands. as though the de-
ceased had sat on the side of the bed be-
fore starting out for a walk. The daily
newspapers to which the deceased had
subscribed, together with letters from the
postoffice addressed to him, were lying
untouched on the floor of the shop. The
oldest newspaper was of the date of May
81 of this year and it is likely, in view of
that fact. that Carmody died on the even
ing of May 80.
An autopsy made by Dr. Zabala yester-
dav afternoon disclosed Valvular uIsease
of the heart as the cause of death. Car
modv was unmarried and native OF Ire

There was suggestion of old man
COuldock, touch of Henry Irving and d
memory of Edwin Booths ShyIock In the
Miser Gaspard as portrayed by William
Wolff in the Chimes of Normandy The
audience was prompt TO catch on to- the
rare performance of Mr. Wolff. and he did
not lack encouragement in the apprecia-
tive rounds of hand-clapping that sounded
during the dramatic episodes of Plan
quette's tureful opera. There was no
body in the cast but Gaspard last night
True, there was a chorus containing
twenty or more of as pretty girls with Ms
shapeiy forms as one could wish to sea
There was also Edith Mason, a most al
tractive Serpolette, and Hattie Belle Ladd
and Daisy Thorne alternating as Ger
maine but these were simply the frame
10 the operate picture. There was no one
last night in the eyes and ears OF the audi
ence but Wolff as Gaspard. He was the
hub around which the opera revolved. and
he gave a fine illustration of the robust
4 tyle of old-school acting that was worth
going far TO see.
