AN INDIAN MARTYR.
Hotema Confesses to Murder For Re
ligion's Sake.

South McAIester, I. t, April 24.-SoIo-
mon E. Hotema, a full blood Choctaw
Indina, who is in Jail here for the muir
der of two women and one man near
Antlers, makes the following remark
able confession:
Il have on yesterday killed one man
and two women. A man certainly does
not know what his destiny shall be. In
my boyhoOd days I went to neighbor-
ing school at Lexington, near Grand
Station, l. T In 1871, L went to school
at Old Spencer academy. 1 staid there
until 1877, when 1 went to Roanoke col
dege, where 1 attended college until 1881,
when L returned home and was elected
county clerk. Since that time l have
filled different offices. I have always
been for peace and good of the people
at large Until the day got into trou-
BILE, did not act nationally, and, know
fng the consequences the evil practice
of magic has been among the Indian
people for a number of years, others
will substantiate the fact.
I'm 1893 I built a church house at
Cold Spring. In 1896 we asked the In
dian presbytery for a mission school
and ever since the work has been sue
cessfuT, not only to educate the Indian
children, but the main object was to
educate all the people. I built my house
100 yards from the church house and
have lived there ever since, and will
continue to live there until my execu-
ton. In 1897 1 was ordained minister
of the gospel. and have been preaching
at Chish, Oklak, Cold Spring. In 1898
al oPposilion 10 the WOrh was mann
Tested, threatening to wipe out of
existence with malpractice and threats.
I took ii upon myself to sacrifice my
self for the Lords cause and for love
of the people. Now I am numbered
with the law breakers, only waiting for
trial-not only for trial, but humbly
submit my neck to the gallows. 1 ask
all the Christian people of the land to
remember my dear WIFE, Nance Hote-
ma, and my loving little daughter, Cor
nelia, and my darling lutte son, Frank
Hotema, for their consolation and deny
ing themselves for Christ, so that we
may meet each other in heaven where
there is no parting. Yours, in Christ,
