MURDER nAY BE AVENGED.
Daniel Vann. Alias Alexander Martin.
VIII Be Taken to indian Territory,


Alexander Martin, alias Daniel
Vann, will probably be taken to
Muskogee, l, T., some time this
week to answer to the charge of
numbering Edward King at Vinita,
l. T., in 1896. Chief of Police
Mcfarland of Kansas City, Kan,
has received letter from the I'm
tied States attorney at Muskogee in
which the writer informs him that
he has requested United States
Marshal Sterne, at Topeka. to
send a man after Martin at once.
He will be taken to the territory
and prosecuted for the crime.
Martin, who claims his name is
Nann, was arrested month or so
ago by Detective Addison, of the
Kansas City, Kan, force while at
work on the dock of the Armour
packing house. The officer had
been informed of Vann's identity
by a man who knew him in the
territory, and there seems to be no
doubt but that he is the man.
However, he positively denies that
he is the much-wanted Martin, but
admits that he once lived near
Vinita.
The murder for which he is be-
ing detained was a most brutal
one. Martin was infatuated with
Kings wife. King was a negro
and a well-to-do farmer. Martin
and Mrs. King conspired to muir
der him. One night Martin con-
cealed himself near the King home
and Mrs. King induced her hus-
band to take a short stroll with
her across the farm. Martin fired
on King from ambush, killing him
instantly. Martin then tied a rope
around the dead mans neck and
dragged him about two miles and
buried the body in a ravine under
about six inches of earth. The
remains were soon discovered.
Mrs. King was tried for being ae-
cessory to the crime and sentenced
to the federal prison for life.
Martin made his escape. No trace
of him was secured until the man
giving his name as Vann was ar
rested at Armour's by Detective
Addison.

Another Interesting Chapter in
the St. Clair Bond Case.

Kansas City, Mo-, Ian. 8. An
other chapter in the celebrated ST.
CLAIR county bond case wss closed
today when Judge Philips of the
United States circuit court order
od tho release from the county
jail of Thomas Nevitt and Thomas
McGill, Judges of tho St. Clair
county court, who have been in
contempt of the federal court since
June last, when they refused TO
obey the order of the federal
Judges directing them to levy a
tax on the property holders If St.
Clair county for the purpose of
satisfying the repudlsted bonds.
The st. Clair county judges ceased
to bs in contempt of the federal
court simply because thor term
of Office bad expired. The tax
payers of st. Clair county elected
their successors vt the Novsm Der
election, and the judges then chos
en- we're to all purposes elected

federal court directing the Ievying

the one political issue in St. Clair

Including the principal and inter>
est for 2S years, is now over q
million dollars. The bonds were

800, 200. The promoters of the
company secured the Dor DIS, sold
them in the east and left the st.
Clair people with no sign of a
railroad. When the bonds fell
due the taxpayers resisted pay

courts eventually decided in favor
of the bondho!ders, the ST. Clair
county people have not, during all

DAMAGES FOR LYNCHING
Claim Heard Before the State
Supreme Court Yesterday.

In tho supreme court yesterday
u case of considerable interest was
argued on appeal from Orange
burg county. The case is impor-
tant from the fact that it has re-
ference to the constitutional pro-
vision that the heirs and admin
istrators of n party lynched may
sue the county in which the lynch
ing occurred.
About yesr and a half ago $
negro named Brown WAS lynched
in Oraageburg county, the charge
against him being that he had
burned several barns of farmers in
the county.
His administrator, Isaac Brown,
brought suit against the county
for 50, 900 damages. Judge Aid
rich presided at the court aRd he
decided that the constitutional
provision applied only to prisoners
who were taken from the custody
of legal officers and then lynched,
but did not apply to those persons
lynched who had not been in the
custody of officers.
