Of him. but they looked upon him as a
god and their high ideals were rudely
shattered by the policy Of determination
that followed. The policy of the white
man was not calculated to carry civili-

years thought to be incapable of doing
as the white man and the Eesult was that

Anglo-Saxon may look back upon his
own record and see the same thing ex-
empli1ed upon the pages OF history.
The wars of the Roman empire long as
they were carried o for the sole purpose
of conquest, never carried civilization
with them. The conquering of Great
Britain by Caesar did not civilize that
island. It was the education, religion
and training that followed in the wake
of the wars that made the German and
Anglo-Saxon the great powers of the
world. So it is with the Indian. He can
be educated and trained to be a citizen.
Education is the force that is needed and
it should be compulsory. It may not be
turtles to raise the Atglo-Saxon up to
the present standard Of civilization. The
work should and will go on and the IN
dian viii become a credit and honor to
the land of his birth"

Fight NTH A NEGRO
Deputy Sheriff Kills a Resist
ing Prisoner.
UNIQUE FIGHTING STYLE
Employed by the CoIored Man
--Sand Against Lead.

Guthrie, o. T., March 13.-A dispatch
from Tecumseh says: William Grace, a
deputy sheriff of this county, shot and
killed Roger Bruner, a Seminole negro,
Saturday about 10 o'clock. Grace had ar
rested Bruner near Purcell, I. T., on
arrant charging him with horse stealing
in this county and was bringing him
back. They were travelling on horseback
and when near to Tecumseh. the negro
jumped from his horse and started to
run.
Mr.. Grace's testimony before the coro-
ner's Jury was: II arrested Bruner IN the
Chickasaw Nation and brought him to
Purcell, where he agreed to return with
me, signing his name Roger Bruner. l
stayed at my place in Eason township,
the night of the 9Th. Started the next
morning for Tecumseh with Bruner tied
on his horse When at the southeast cor
ner of town Bruner said: Who lives over
there?' pointing to a house. 1 turned to
look and he jumped from his horse AMI
ran. / started on a run after him,
shooting at him as 1 ran, to make him
stop. He finally stopped, threw up his
hands and said: Don't shoot me; I'll give
up, and came back to me- L had no
sooner put my gun in its scabbard than
he grabbed me by the throat, threw me
down, grabbed me with the other hand,
placing his thumb in my eye. He loosen
ed his other hand and grabbed a handful
of sand and filled my eyes and mouth
with it. He got the first finger of my
right hand in his mouth and 1 had diff
Guilty in releasing it. Then I took my
knife out, thinking my gun was empty,
but I dropped the knife without using It
I then with my other hand felt the cylin-
der of the gun and found that some
loads yet remained. drew the gun and
commenced swapping it until it went off,
He jumped off Of me and ran. fired at
him as he ran; don't know whether hit
him or how far he ran; could not see
as my eyes were full of sand. I shot
him while he was on top of men"
The condition the deputy was in when
he was brought here would indicate that
his description Of the battle would not
do it justice e was covered with blood
both eyes We're filed with sand so he
could not open them, his mouth and
throat and lungs so filled he could hard
~ live from coughing, besides many
bruises and scratches. The negro was
battered and beaten about the head in
terrible manner, as Grace had broken and
shattered a Colts revolver in the task
Of trying to save his own life. AT least
three bullet holes were found on the ne
gro's body, in addition to the other
bruises. The coroner's jury is now out,
but their report will justify Mr.. Grace
The negro as a powerful man physically
and the officer could only save his own
life by killing him. This is the only con-
clusion to be drawn from the circum-
stances.

WATCHER AND HIS CRAZlNESS
Deputy FOssett Thinks He Is Playing
1t Too Hard

Guthrie, O. Tx, March 13.-A more de-
tailed account of the actions of Watcher
in a Mexican prison is given by the Enid
Wave, as follows: Deputy Marshal VIII
liam Fossett came in this morning with
several United States prisoners for trial
during the term of court. Last Friday
he returned from Old Mexico, whether he
had gone for James Watcher, the muir
derer of Colonel Stone. He found Walch-
er in the Juarez City jail, just cross the
Rio Grande river from the United States,
and recognized him on sight, and, it was
him. It seems that Watcher has started
out to play the crazy act and became
much worse of course, when he "sot''
eyes on Fossett. When the prisoner was
brought into the presence of Fossett he
seemed to lose all sense and called for
water continually, intact, almost tainted
away. Fossett asked him the following
questions:
Don't you know me?'
He shook his head, answering mo"
How did you get here?"
81 walked-water, -water!"
''Of course you know me, Watcher
you are playing it too hard
ing to the mayor of the town, who was
present; then he yelled for more water.
Didn't you come from Oklahoma?"
ma-Oklahoma-where is Okla
homa--in Texas?"
''Where did you come from?"
"Millerstown."
This was a dead give away as Zion
postoffice in kingfsher county, where
Watcher received his mail, was some
times called Millerstown. because a man
by the name of Miller kept the only store
in fireplace Deputy Fossett asked him
many questions similar to the above and
the answers indicated that Watcher was
playing the possum on the crazy racket
biz.
Owing TO the laws of Mexico, evidence
showing the guilt of Watcher beyond
doubt must be presented before the
prisoner will be turned over to the Unit
ed States authorities, hence, it will take
at least thirty days to secure the neces-
sary affidavits and send them to the Mex
leo court at Mexico City. "Of course
Mr.. Fossett said watcher may really
have lost his mind, but he played the
game a little too hard to convince me"
Watcher was detected through writing
a letter to a presumed friend at King
fisher, under the name of James Wilson.
The authorities catching on from the tell
tale letter had officers stationed in the
post Office at Juarez, Mexico, to arrest
the man who called for James Wilson's
mail, hence the arrest. On Watchers
person was found letter from his
daughter. who warned him OF the
chances he was taking in writing back
to Kingisher people; in the letter were
found many newspaper clippings. Walch-
er was working for his board on the
stock ranch OF j. W. Pierce, an Ameri-
can. whose ranch is near Juarez. The
watch of Colonel Stone was found among
the prisoners effects.

Mr.. Turner thought the bill 70 levy
