Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 30.-nhe annual cat

tional system of the territory, the scope
of its work, and its resources, equipment
and courses of study, general and special.

ing sixteen names of students who were
graduated in 1S96-97-9S, besides the eight

Missing Husband.

Guthrie, o. T.. Aug 3O-The latest de-
velpoment in the Eick murder ease Is
the arrival of Mrs. \. J. Eick from South
McAlester. Mrs. Eick arrived at the
Hobson restaurant last night and regis-
tered. The clerk asked her If she was
any relation TO E,ick who was murdered
Mrs. Eick had not heard of the murder
and upon further inquiry she found that
1t was indeed her husband who ives
killed.
The Tfmes-Journal SAYS: This morn
ing County Attorney Taylor had an inter-
view with Mrs. Eick. She was asked to
describe her husband and she described
the murdered man precisely. She said
ne had an upper tooth missing, a. stiff
thumb. and described his general appear
ance exactly. She also identified the plc
ture found in the ashes as the picture of
her husband The only discrepancy was
the fact thata she says Eick's stlff thumb
was on his left hand. while the county
attorney has Il on the right OF this

Eick formerly lived in this CITY and was
employed In the family of Mr.. r. z.

Collier. who died in a bout three weeks
thereafter. About two years ago she
married Eick in Paris. Texas They

They lived there until last October Il.
