an American with his head shaved and
a queue down his back. L looked al

1t would take a great deal to make me

seriously, and when l went up TO Chi
Ning-Chow, in the province of Shan

native garb in order to appease the
minds of the Know nothings." There
and there only did my semi badness
stand me in good stead. for l was able
to wear the queue without indulging
in the unpleasantness of a head shave.

LEADING UP TO THE TRAGEDY
Events Which Embittered the Accus-
ed Watcher A AGAINST the Dee eased.


Guthrie. O. r, Jan. 12.-NO additional
details have been received here concern
ing the killing Of Colonel John f. Stone
yesterday afternoon except that the body
Of the dead man was taken TO Kingfisher
last night and that the murdere is under
arrest Under orders Of Acting Governor
Jenkins. military guard left this after
noon for Kinghsher TO ac, IS honorary
guard until tl;e funeral This guard con-
cists Of Adjutant General Orner, Captain
Maine, Captain Booth and Regimental
Adjutant Edgar W. Jones
The trouble out of which grew the kill
ing arose over money matters. It ap-
pears that Colonel Stone in his capacity
as a banker advanced some money to
Watcher. taking a first mortgage on
bunch Of cattle and other personal prop
erty for security. 1t is alleged that Wal
cher afterwards gave mortgages on the
same property to the Capital National
bank Of Guthrie, and on complaint of
the bank he was arrested about five
weeks ago and placed in the Guthrie JAIN.
When searched at the jail a loaded pistol
was found on Watchers person, conceal
ed in his boot. He begged to keep the
pistol saying that he wanted TO kill
Stone when he should be released. When
arraigned before Probate Judge Foster on
the charge Of securing money on false
pretenses, Watcher waived examination
and was released on bond to appear at
the March term of the district court for
Logan county.
On New Years night at the military
No11 In E4r+1,rga Colonial Cf,ra voc
ent and was told of the threats made
against him by Watcher. and warned to
be on his guard. as Watcher was evident
ly a desperate man. Colonel Stone. how
ever. made light of the threats saying
that he had performed several friendly
acts toward Watcher. and, any way, he
did not believe the man had the nerve
to carry out his threats.
Colonel Stone came to Guthrie in 1889
and was justice of the peace under the
Guthrie provisional government When
oklahoma was given q territorial form of
government and Horace Speed was ap-
pointed United States attorney. Colonel
Stone was made first assistant distin-
gushing himself as an able and fearless
prosecutor In July, lS9S. he was com
missioned by Governor Barnes major Of
the Oklahoma battalion. and although
the war closed without the men being
sent into active service. the Oklahoma
battalion carried the distinction of being
the first in the regiment in drill and disci-
pline. When his Son was mustered !
out of the Unitd States service Major .
Stone returned to the territory and was /
colonel of the First regi- /
ment, Q. y. q. AT the time of his tax +
ms aE-y he was president of the Peo- (
plea sank Of Kingfisher. He was a years +
old and leaves wife and 4-year-old son. /
He was a SD degree Mason and a deacon .

II WAS ASSASSINATION
According to One Who Saw
Colonel Stone Fall.
WATCHER UNDER ARREST
He Is Said to Have Threatened
the Colonies Life.
UNDER ARREST

Kingfsher, o. T, Jan. Traditional
details of the killing of Colonel John F.
stone yesterday have transpired, as fol-
lows: It seems that Colonel Stone left
home for point in Excelsior township,
at a distance Of about eighteen miles
from here, to foreclose a mortgage upon
and take possession of a tract of land
there, belonging to James Watcher In
company with Colonel Stone was William
Cater, who lives in that neighborhood.
On going upon the land and just as they
were passing a shock of corn, Mr.. Cater
says they were fired into, Colonel Stone
receiving a full load of buckshot in the
breast and face, killing him instantly.
Cater. seeing Colonel Stone falling, and
realizing that he, too, was in a danger
Gus position, and hearing some one call
ing to him to halt, put on full speed and
soon carried himself out of the reach of
the assassin.
Before Colonel Stone left the bank for
his trip to Excelsior t\(snship, he told
the cashier that he owed James Watcher,
the man living on the land, about 80,
and that he wanted about that amount
to settle with him. which he got and at
once took his carriage for his destina-
ton. After Colonel Stone had been killed,
it is alleged, the assassin deliberately
robbed his body of the $25, a Masonic pin,
some keys. his gold watch, some valua-
BILE papers, and his overcoat, and carried
them all away. Colonel Stone had these
articles about his person when he left
the city and they cannot now be found,
and the supposition is that they were
taken from the body after the killing,
by the assassin.
Colonel Stone had no alteration with
Watcher ppior to the shooting, and it APP
pears that neither Stone nor Cater had
seen him, or knew that they were in any
danger, until the actual shooting.

OF A SCHEME THAT FAILED
Local Officers Meant Well but Spoiled
the EsarshaI's Plan.

Guthrie, O. T., Jan. 12.-The Oklahoma
City Times-Journal has a story which, in
substance, follows: About a week or more
ago it was discovered by local partie.s that
there was in the city a coterie of smooth
gentlemen who were anxious to float
quantity of United States bonds. The
parties opened negotiations with the local
people and matters progressed to a point
where the booksellers offered TO deliver
up, as a starter, one bond of the denom-
nation of $4,000 for the sum of 500 The
men having the bonds for sale claimed to
have about 100000 worth of them and
stated that. while they were counterfeit
the execution was so perfect that it could
not be detected by experts. United States
officers came to the city about week ago
and with the aid of local people. fixed W
a scheme by which they expected to
catch the counterfeiters. had not Il very
unfortunate circumstance happened. All
the arrangements were made for the local
party that was doing toe negotiating to
produce the money and receive the bond,
but it became necessary that the counter
feiters or their leader should be captured
with the bond in his possession. Every
thing was in readiness for the raid. the
counterfeiter had been shown the roll OF
S4O0 which he was to receive on the deliv-
cry over of the $4,000. bond, and the time
and place Of meeting were settled to take
place at an 1Bce on Broadway on the
morning of January s In order that there
might be no mistake about getting the
parties. should resistance be made. il
was thought that one or two of the local
police force should be taken into the con- |
fderce Of In eUnited States authorities. .
This was done and several officers were let /
into the secret and told in detail of the
plans Of the eight or ten persons VINO |
were all working in harmony for the COM |
mon end viz: the capture OF the GRIM /
inals The local officers were informed t
that the raid was arranged for the morn !
ing of the Sth, and knew the arrange /
ments in all their details The surprise /
Of tht parties endeavoring TO capture the t
counterfeiters may be imagined, when, /
on the morning of the Sth. it was discov-
cred that the local officers had got to-
gether several of the police force who had 4
no knowledge of the matter, to SO along
with them on the night of the eth and
early on the morning of the Sth. and ar
rest three OF the parties who were nego-
uating The bonds OF course. nothing was
found on the parties, and they had TO be
discharged from custody
The plan 10 catch the couDterfeiters was
at an end ard no further effort was made
in that direction. To say that the United
States authorities were hot is putting it
mild.

PRUSSIA MAKES TERMS
New York Life Receives Most Favor
able Concessions

Berlin. Jan. 12.-It is rumored here that
the Mutual Life Insurance company of
New York is to be re-admitted to Prussia
on condition that it will deposit with the
government the full policy reserve on
Prussian policies, this deposit to be made
in Prussian securities. If this deposit is
made. the government will waive the re-
quirement which calls for the DISPOSAL of
the company stocks, amounting in the
case of the Mutual Life to- say, $1,000
COO The New York Life Insurance com
pany. which was recently admitted to
Prussia, was not called upon to deposit
the full reserve. because it has agreed to
dispose Of all its stocks. It's deposit
with the government is, therefore. but
half the amount required by the Mutual
Life.
