The daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Ind. Ter. [Okla.]) 1898-1902, 1900-07-07

When the Indian Territory con.
Test was reached by the committee
on credentials both delegations
were seated and given half vote
each. The executive committee
refused to recognize either Marcum
Wolverton as national commit
tepman from the Indian Territory
for the ensuing four years. Sena-
tor Jones stated that the territory
was without a committeeman as
the matter now stands. The con
test did not receive as much atten-
tion as the territory people felt it
should have had, but all were
compelled to submit to whatever
was done, though q good deal OF
growing was INDUCED in by both
factions. The Marcum people had
way Of claiming everything in an
off hand manner that became a
standing joke on the outside. On
he morning Of the first day of the
convention they went about say
ing, "We have the Wolyerton
crowd beaten and they have all
gone home.'' After the delega-
tiuns We're seated ard action was
refused in the national committee
man contest the Marcum forces
again announced. "We have 'em
beaten, Marcum is the national
committeeman; its all over and
srHled III oor favor" The absurd
ity OF such talk did not impress
the national executive committee,
of which Senator Jones is again
made chairman, very favorably.

Killed i'm a Boxing Bout.

Richmond, Va, June 27.-
j. w. Stansbury and a young
man named Robert Council en-
gagged in friendly boxing con-
test last night, near Roanoke
Rapids, N. c., which resulted in
the death of the former. The
young men were the .warmest of
personal friends and laughed and
chatted before beginning the
friendly bout. Council, unlnten-
tionally, gave Stansbury a very
severe blow below the belt,
which not only sent him reeIing
out of the ring, but caused death
III 30 minutes. Council is pros
trated with grief, although nc
blame is attaches tohim. The blow
was not aimed, nor for a moment
intended, for the part of the body
where it landed.

KILLED HIS FATHER

Kttts his Father i,t Self Defense

n Nineteen Year OJd Negro Bon
Ktttshts Father tn Self Defense.
Another homicide in this coun-
ty, but this time the killing ap.
pears to have been in self defense.
Lewis Watts, col, was shot and
killed by his 19 year old son four
miles above here Thursday eve
ming about night. 1t appears that
Lewis was accustomed to whip
ping the household occasionally
wife, children, large and small.
and that evening he made a
start on his wife, having whipped
her numerically and threatened
to kill her, but she got loose and
ran off and was met, as she went
away from the house, by her chill,
dren who had been fishing and
who took her back to the house.
Lewis started for johnson, his
Oldest son, with a razor in one
hand and a rope in the other he
used the rope to whip his wife |
j Johnson backed toward the door.
but the old man got in a "swipe"
or two with his razor, planting
an ugly cash in the boys arm.
After that bout was over it was
the boys turn to get in some
work. He had a pistol in
his pocket. He promptly drew
that pistol and fired the fatal
shot, the ball taking effect in
the back just above the right
shoulder and going entirely
through the body in near range
of the heart. The father ran
out into the yard a few steps
and fell upon his face where he
lay till yesterday morning when
the coroner's jury moved him,
with razor in one hand and a
rope in the other. Deputy
sheriff Wilson went up and
brought the boy down yester-
day morning and lodged him n
jail. He made no attempt what
ever to escape, feeling we sup.
pose, that his course, sad aud
awful as it was, was justifable
in the eyes of the law.

1T never rains, but it pours,"
and 1t never pours but it washes,
and 1T never washes but what my
farm gets more than any body
elses', said one of our peculiarly
pessimestic farmers the other day,
in discussing the recent heavy
rains. TO those who are given to
rejecting thus, the Scctchman's
observation "that the good Lord
bin running this old world a
good while, and lie never had TO
consult ye yet, and He niver
made any Mistakes" is very ap-
propriate.
Ii seems at present, from the
reports of the daily papers that
the Prohibition party has u
strong chgnce Of electing our
next governor. Now the thing
for us to do is to begin at home
and see how our candidates for
the Legislature stand on this
issue. Send men TO the General
Assembly pledged to support
Prohibition. Elect magistrates
and county officers that will see
to it that prohibition is inforced.
Men that will-if the Dispensa-
ry wins-see that it is honestly
carried out.
While the Columbia State
may do Col. Hoyt some good,
it is aliniating a great many

are taking alarm at a liquor

Reports of Plans Under Con-

Central Railroad at
New Jersey Term

The New York Tribune" says:-The
construction of a fleet of large ocean
steamers for carrying both freight and
passengers by the New York Central Rail-
road, has been under discussion of late.
Inis Improvement has been projected in
connection with Improvements of the ter
ninal at Weehawken and the expendi-
lures of between $3.00O,000 and $4O00,000 in
eniarging the yards there, building new
piers and tracks and a general Increase Of
freight capacity.
Some time ago the New York Central
increased its capital stock by SIS, 600 600,
and this money was spent in buying new
rolling stock. 1t has just been stated by
prominent railroad official that even
this enormous expenditure for equipment
had been insufficient, and that another
sl,oo0,000 would now have to be added to it
for engines. The road has not enough
cars and engines to handle the enormous
traffic offered. The decision to expend
between SS, 100000 and 81, 900, 600 on the Wee
hawken terminal is only one item of the
extraordinary expenditures Other mill
ions have been spent in bridges, structural
steel, improved grades and tracks and sta

the decision to reconstruct the Weehaw-
ken terminal that has suggested the
building of a line of steamers for inter-
oceanic freight and passenger traffic
The increasing demand for American
coal in European markets, it is believed,
may have some bearing on the project.
The Weehawken terminal now has large
coal yard belonging to the New York, On
tario and Western, and in the work of re-
construction the coal capacity of the yard
will be increased and facilities for coal
export provided. However, owing to the
absence from the city of nearly all the
directors of the New York Central, there
has been no board meetings for some time.
and the matter will probably not come
before the board before this fall

BIGGEST YET.
Large Crowds Expected on
the Davis Association
Outing.
ROUTE OF THE PARADE
There Will Be Four Bat
talions. Led by Colonel
Smith.

The Robert Davis Association held
meeting last evening at the clubhouse on
Mercer street. Colonel Robert Smith pre-
sided. The meeting was a brief one, as
the report on the outing was not ready.
The meeting WAS then adjourned until
next Wednesday evening, when the report
will be on hand.
Colonel Smith, in speaking of the out
ing, said he would like to see the mem
bers make their returns quicker, as there
may be an increased demand for the hats
and the number ordered may not be suffi-
cient to go around. The members, he
said. would not ind it very pleasant to
make returns the night before the out
ing
Up to date, he said, the amount of
tickets for which returns had been made
would equal that of the attendance of
last year, and, judging from the number
of tickets outstanding. It will be much
larger outing this year.
The start of the parade on the day Of
the outing will be the same as last year.
There viii be four battalions with the
right resting on Mercer street. The line
of march in the morning win be up Mercer
street to Varick, to York, down York to
Grove, pass the City Hall, where the
paraders win be reviewed by the Mayor
and other prominent city officials. Thence
the procession will proceed to Newark
avenue, to Montgomery street, to Hudson,
TO Morris street dock, where the boat will
be boarded. It will be the commodious
steamer Grand Republic.
1t has not been decided yet what the
line of march in the lower section of the
city will be upon the return at night, but
the parade will positively pass the follow
ing streets after they reach Grove street:
Pavonia avenue to East Hamilton place,
to Eighth street, TO Jersey avenue, to
Grand street. to Grove. to Mercer, passing
the clubhouse, where the members will
be reviewed by the standard bearer,
Robert Davis.
