ONE BOY SHOOTS ANOTHER
Peculiar Accident Takes Place Ont at
AlVa,

Guthrie, o. T., July 2S.-In the Alva
Review is an account of the shooting of a
9-year-old boy in that city. This ac-
count relates that on Monday morning
about Gas a shot was heard in the vi
cinity of Carriers livery barn and it was
soon learned that Joe Harry, 9-year-old
son of Joseph Harry, who works in the
barn, had been shot. The particulars as
we have been able to learn them are
about as follows:
Mr.. Harry went to feeding the horses
about o'clock and walked his son James,
aged 16, and set him to cleaning the
stalls. James and Joe had slept on a bed
on the floor in the office of the livery
stable and Joe was still sleeping. About
6:30 Mr.. Harry went to Frees butcher
shop for a piece of meat and on his re-
turn he met his older son, who told him
that Joe had been shot. Mr.. Harry at
once sent James for a doctor and he
brought DR.. d. c. Gamble. In the mean
time Jim Hunter and Mr.. Rose had ar
rived and phoned Drs. Billy and Rut-
ledge.
The surgeons found that he had been
shot through the head, the ball entering
coming out just above The right eye
brow. The boy was unconscious from
the time he was shot until his death,
which occurred about 10 ociocx.
James Harry was the only one who
knew anything about the shooting and ne
told a good many contradictory sol ,es
about it. He at first denied all knowledge
of the pistol, but on being threatened
with Imprisonment he went to one of the
stalls and drew it from under one of the
feed boxes. 1t was a 3S-calibre Ivers &
Johnson revolver which VIM Spaulding
identified az one that had been taken
from his bedding at one of the stalls in
the fair grounds the day before
At l o'clock p. m. Judge McCrory, act
ing coroner, impanneled the following
jury: Stephen Lewis, c. NJ Deepen, Geo.
Nickel, w. c. Douglas, A H. Beegle and
Geo F. Harris The jury, after hearing
all the evidence obtainable and carefully
considering the same. reported:
I'VE, the jury duly impanneled in the
above entitled cause and sworn to inves-
tigate the cause of the death of one joe
Harry, upon our oaths do find that Joe
Harry came to his death on the 23d day
of July, 1900, from the effects of a sun
shot wound. inflicted by a person or per-
sons to the jury unknown, by reason of
the fact OF uncertain and contradictory
testimony.
wv. c. DOUGLASS. Foreman"
1t is the individual belief of nearly
everyone who heard the evidence that
the elder brother is the one who fired the
fatal shot, but all believe that it was the
result of careless handling of the weapon.
The remains were laid TO rest the same
evening in the A o U w ceuetarv

WANTS NO FALSE PRETENSI0NS
Oklahoma Rough Rider in Jail Goes
After False Ola m.

Guthrie, O. T., July 2S-Jim Redmond
confined in the Kansas City Jail, the al
legged murderer of Miss Emma Schumach-
er. is jealous of his record as a member
of Roosevelts Rough Riders. When he
was lodged in the Jackson county jail
some months ago, he found that another
prisoner charged with murder, Joseph
Nelson, was posing as one of Teddy's regl-
ment The two men got along we'll to-
gether at first, but Redmond soon began
to have suspicious as to the genuineness
of Nelson's claim.
To make sure of the matter and moxed
wholly by patriotic motives, Redmond
wrote letter of inquiry to Washington.
Yesterday he received the following in
dOrsement on his letter:
Respectfully returned to William A.

MUST KEEP THEIR FARMS FREE
Billy Walker to the Farmers on the
DANGER of MOrfca0es.

Guthrie, o. T., July 2S.-Among others,
Mr. W. j. Walker. ex-Anadarko Indian
agent, who now resides al Guthrie. was
in Kingfsher for a few hours Tuesday
morning, and Of his visit the Free Press
says: Mr. Walkers business carries
him to all parts of the territory, and he
has ample opportunities TO judge Of the
situation, materially and politically.
Speaking of the condition of the people,
he says the farmers of Oklahoma are
in better shape now than those OF any
other locality in the Union. They are
generally out Of debt their farms are
free from encumbrance. they are in a
good state Of cultivation. they generally
have comfortable houses. animals and
implements sufficient more or less cattle,
hogs and poultry. and their crops are
abundant. The result of this years
work places them, generally speaking in
financial independence. The passage Of
the free homes bill has been great re-
lief to them. and enables them to secure
patents TO their lands without the inter
position Of loan agencies and mortgages.
II they viii only profit by the experience
OF the last twenty-five years. and keep
their farms free from encumbrsnces-nOt

be known. as the train men nor no one
else seems to have seen the accident.
However 1t is quite evident from the pc
sition of the broken bones and bruises
on the remains that he was facing west
when struck. while the direction Of his
home was due east, which leads to the
presumption that he saw the train just
as he stepped on the track, then turned
to retrace his steps when he was struck.
The engineer of the train was oiling his
engine at the depot when he found Mr..
Crump's hat, coat and letter. The de-
pot people -'phoned the city officers the
fact of finding the clothes and suggested
that search be made along the track
10 see if anyone was hurt. Officers Til
ton and McMillen procured lantern and
soon found Major Crump quite dead, ly
ing alongside of the track, about sew
enty-five feet from the sidewalk crossing
as described above.
A large crowd of people soon gathered
around the remains. Judge Bradley acted
as coroner and a jury was soon secured
After viewing the remains on tne~ SPOT
where they were found they were re-
moved to the undertaking rooms Of the
Enid Furniture company. Doctors Kelso.
Fairgrive and Mayberry made critical
examination of the body and found the
head all mashed up on both sides and on
top, which undoubtedly caused instant
death. The right leg was broken be-
tween the knee and the ankle and the
spIintered bone protruded through the
flesh. A large black bruise was found on
the right side of the small Of the back
and the back was broken. 1t is presumed
that after being hit in the back his head
struck something about the front Of the
engine which literally mashed it to
mass of crushed bones and flesh.
Mrs. Crump was visiting in Columbus,
Kan, and message was sent her at
once and she answered this morning that
she would arrive on the night train to-
night.
Major Crump was the father of seven
children, four boys and three girls. Min
ME is the oldest, aged 30, and Alice is the
youngest aged H. One OF the sons is
in the army in Cuba. and another one is
a soldier stationed at Fort Leavenworth.
Another son living in Springfield, Mo,
will arrive tomorrow morning. The funer-
al will occur from the Crump home at
8 ocock. Friday, July 81, and the remains
win be buried in the new north Gene
terry.
Major N. 3. Crump was popular citi-
zen Of this city and well respected by all
who knew him. During his life he held
many positions of trust and honor.

One of the most ardent supporters

interesting at this time to read his
