'Ai'sr long Tenn q lmvrIsonmsn,
Bond Was GRANTED.

On the night Of Saturday, Octo-
Der 10. 1896, at about 10: sol
three pistol shots rang out in quick
succession. and Wyatt Williams,
a well known character in the
town, in the Indian Territory, and
il North Texas, fell mortalIy
wounded.
The shots were fred by w. R.
(Bud) Watkins, in a place known
as the Watkins & Rogers cider sa-
loon on Main street, which stood
where Joe N. Barall's store stands
today.
Williams had entered the saloon
and was drinking at the bar when
a dispute arose over trivial mat
ter between the two men.
Both men had been drinking
and the kindliest feeling did not
exist between the two men.
Williams fell to the floor and
died in a few minutes.
Watkins disappeared and officers
and possemen started in pursuit.
He was captured Sunday morning
by Officer Booker and his posse as
he was rapidly riding away.
He was committed to jail Sunday
October IL, 1896, charged with
murder. The grand jury was in
session at the time and the case at
once went before them. A true
bill, charging him with murder
was found. and a few days later
he was sentenced to be hanged by
the neck until dead Feb. 10, 1897.
Stay of execution was granted
and the case taken to the court of
; appeals of the Indian Territory.
Watkins was then released on
. bond, Dec. 10, 1897, and was re-
committed again March 26, 1898
A new trial was granted which
resulted in a sentence to life I'M
prisonment
Again the case was taken to the
court of appeals and again revers
ed. this was on January l, 1900.
Watkins attorneys have fought
his case right nobly and at las
y bond was granted.
The bond was set at $40, 900, anC

LIFE.

 Two fine young oaks began to grow On poor granger's land. Through fiercest winter winds and snow They stood and did expand. Well were they watched, stronger they
 grew,
 Receiving best of care; I sometimes think those saplings knew They had duty there. Blessed seemed that home; two sons
 were sent
 To this strong man of toll, And when the midday sun was spent, He'd wander OCT his soil, Thankful to God for favors rare That He had given him, And praying One so kind to spare His health, and he would trim The trees, and each day guide his boys Tn upright useful ways. The trees would bloom the babes, his
 joys,
 Would bless his later days. This was his hope; the years rolled by. Life seemed without one cloud. His oaks reached nearer to the sky; Enriched he grew purse-proud; Then ceased to kneel at Christians
 fount;
 His better self had fled; Quite firm he stood on skeptics' mount, By lust for gold now led. His boys, now men, were taught to treat All human kind as fools; The father learned them to brow-beat Both beasts and hired tools; Aud soon he built a mansion grand: The oaks were cut away; The trees he'd loved, had vowed would
 stand
 Were gone; no more did sway.
