the secrtary of setate. were returned for
correction of a technical error, thus ac-
counting for the delay, which led to the
report that the reported arrest was a fake.
The extradition papers were duly cor
rected, however, and Saturday night
Governor Barnes received a telegram
from Secretary of State Hay informing
him of the fact that the exTaditi0n pa
pers ahd been forwarded from Washing
ton to United States Ambassador Powell
Clayton in the City Of Mexico. Where
upon the governor deputized Aessrs.
Kelley and Fossett as the governments
agents to procure the prisoner, and they
left for Mexico as above stated.
On the afternoon of January Il, Colonel
John F. Stcne was shot and instantly
killed by James Watcher on the Watcher
farm, eighteen miles northeast of King
fisher. The trouble occurred over mort
goge held by Colonel Stone on Watchers
live stock. Watcher was concealed be-
hind a fodder rack and fired from am
bush, mutiladng one entire side of Col
oneI Stones face. He fell and died in
stantIy. Watcher went to the house,
saddled his horse and Immediately dis
appeared His brother testified to the kill
ing at the coroner's inquest, which rem
dered a verdict against Watcher
James Watcher was arrested some
eleven weeks ago on complaint of the
Capital National bank for obtaining
money on cattle already mortgaged to the
Peoples Nationl bank of Kingfisher.
Deputy Sheriff Charles Carpenter went
to Watchers ranch to serve the warrant.
but his man lodged him. Heck Thomas
and Bill Miller then went after him, and
succeeded in landing the man in the
Guthrie jail, after some days chase Wal
cher concealed a loaded gun on his person
which was discovered afterwards by the
jailer. He begged to keep it, saying: 4

Stone bitterly.
On arraignment before Judge Foster
for getting the money from the Capitol
Nationl bank on false pretenses, his coun-
sci. Walter BuCkner. waived examination
and gave bond in the sum of $500 to ap-
pear at the March term Of court in Logan
county. Colonel Stone held first mort
gage on all of Watchers livestock. After
this mortgage was given he proceeded to
borrow money from the various banks
on the same chatels, representing the
security 10 be clear. This, of course,
brought on litigation, and Stone fore
closed his first mortgage. which caused
his assination.
On New Years night at the military
ball Stone was told of Watchers threats.
and ridiculed the idea of any harm COM
ing to him from this source.
Colonel Stone was very prominent
throughout the west, and held many Off
ces of Importance in the territory. At the
time of his death he was the president of
the Peoples bank at Kingisher.
The search for Watcher has been long
and unceasing, and rewards amounting to
$500 were offered for his capture At one
time he was reported as arrested but It
proved to be the wrong man The tele-
gram Saturday evening from Secretary
Hay is the first authentic news neceived
in regard to Watcher since the murder
was committed.

Mcguire said the charges against Agent
Pollock were filed by the full-bloods who
accused him Of being partial to the pro-
gressive party and using his influence
toward securing a progressive majority in
the Usage council. Another charge
against the agent was that he held an
interest in pastures fenced in under the
names Of citizens. Ransom Payne, who
took such an active interest in pressing

FOR TWO CONVENTIONS
Senator Ravens Offers an
Earnest Argument
THERE WOULD BE TRADING
Both Conventions Mere Rati-
fCatiOns, Anyhow.

Guthrie, O. T, Feb. Ex-senator H. E
Ravens is the first prominent Republican
to come out in open opposition to Chair
man Grimes proposition that but one
territorial convention be held this year
for the election Of national delegates and
the nomination Of delegate in congress.
Senator Ravens explains his opposition
on the ground that delegates to the ma
tionaI convention would be selected, not
particularly on account of the merits OF
the men, but through deals made on the
basis of the congressional nomination.
He explains his position more fully as
follows:
I'VE are in favor of holding the terri
torial convention in time to elect dele
gates to Philadelphia-hol it separately
and wholly apart from the congressional
convention These conventions have no
relation whatever. The congressional con-
vention should be held in July or August
give plenty Of time to arrange for the
campaign, but DO not hold it by any
means until after the Republican ma
tional convention To hold the two to-
gether would mean that the delegates to
the national convection would depend
largely upon deals made in regard to the
congressional nomination. There are men
in the territory who win try to use
Flynn's popularity to take them to the
national convention as delegates. Let US
have none Of this kind Of work. One con-
vention should be wholly apart from the
other. Everything points to the renomi-
nation of Flynn for congress. This SEN
timent prevails all over the territory. It
is not a sentiment which has been cult
waited by politicians, but the unanimous
sentiment Of the rank and file of the Re
publicans Of Oklahoma. The free home
bill viii in all probability become law,
and in case it should nothing could pre-
vent Flynn's denomination. He does not
want the nomination. but with the free
home measure a aw, he is the logical
nominee. That is fixed in the minds Of
the Republicans eff this territory Moth
ing can change 81. That il is the policy TO
hold the congressional convention later
on in the summer, after the din of bat
tie in the convention to elect delegates to
Philadelphia has cleared away. Let the
congressional nominee be free from all
entanglements with the election Of dele
gates to Philadelphia. Mckinley viii be
renominated by reclamation. There is
but little at stake in the trip to Phila-
delphia. Everybody viii agree when they
get there upon candidate and platform.
Some want to go because it is afn honor.
Some want to 90 because they have an
ak to grind in the future on the grind
s-4gn Chi
mate. 1t is an honor to attend a Republi-
can national convention as a delegate. 1t
is all right for an aspirant for future ia
vors from the administration to want to
get on the delegation to strengthen him
self at Washington. But let all of this
fight for a place on the delegation to
Philadelphia be kept wholly apart from
the congressional convention. Above all
things do not get the conventions tangled
up in any way

accept the position of judge of the new
Sixteenth judicial district, though there
were a large number OF applicants for
the position. After consultation WIN the
candidate he was supporting and being
informed that the governor would not ap-
point his man, he accepted, and served
from spring until fall as an appointee.
He then became a candidate to succeed
himself and was unanimously nominated
and elected by much more than a party
majority. At the end of his term of four
years, he was renominated by acclama-
ton, and elected by an overwhelming
majority, receiving the Republican vote
and a large percentage of the Democratic
vote. At the end of his second term Of
four years he declined to be a candidate
for a third term and aided in selecting
his successor. a few weeks after his re-
tirement as district judge, he was tender
ed the position as supreme court commits
sioner for the state of Kansas in which
position he served for three years and
during the lifetime Of the statute which
created the commission earned not only
the sincere respect of his colleagues on
the bench, the bar of the state, and the
public whom he served. but an enviable
reputation as an able and impartial
judge. At the close of his term as com
missioner the judge came to the territory,
locating in Guthrie.
Judge Strang not only held the positions
above mentioned in Kansas, but he was
recognized as one of the Republican
leaders for many years in Kansas, being
a member of all the important conven-
tons of his party in the state, and a
delegate-at-large from the state to the
national Republican convention that
nominated General Harrison in 1888. In
the campaign that followed Judge Strang
was recognized as one of the ablest
campaigners in Kansas. During the cam
paign Of 1892, in Kansas, he was again
to the front fighting for Republican su-
premacy. He spoke in fifty-four different
counties and made sixty-eieht speeches
upon the subject Of protection and fl
nance, his speeches upon both these sub
jects being declared as able as any made
in the state
Since coming to the territory, Judge
Strang has been active in his support of
Republican principles and candidates,
having made more speeches for Dennis
Flynn in his campaign than any other
one man except Dennis himself, his fnan-
cial speeches being the ablest heard in
the territory. He is a protection, sound
money, expansion Republican, being in
harmony with the Mckinley administra-
ton upon all great questions.
Judge Strang has always been popular,
not only with his party votes, but with
Democratic voters, because they knew he
was able and always fair and impartial
n all his official acts. He stands in the
ircnt among the ablest lawyers in the
territory, having attracted marked atten-
ion, and received much fiattering com
nendation on his management of impor-
ant cases, and particularly on his mag
lificent addresses to juries therein.
Judge Strang is a positive man has
opinions of his own on all subjects and
always stands fearlessly by what he
kinks is right
