WAS SAVED
BY FORREST
Murderer of His Sister Gets
Life Imprisonment.
SENTENCED TO HANG ONCE
Supreme Court Granted Him
a New Trial.

FL Reno. 0. T, April s-.The Democrat
says: The jury in the Taylor Kirk muir
der case returned a verdict for murder
in the first degree and fixed the punish
ment at Imprisonment for life. Kirk is a
young man. not more ,nan IS years OF
age. He was tried for killing his sister.
Ida Yarbrough. by shooting her through
the head with revolver. on July 4, two
years ago. near Cloud C---0l. After com
hitting the horrible deed ne compelled
another sister and her husband. at the
point of a revolver, to give out the story
that Ida had suicided. They cid as they
were commanded and before the coroner
jury they all testified that the girl had
committed suicide. The coroners jury
returned a verdict Of suicide and Kirk
put the body in lumber WAGON and un-
dertook to cart il away for burial but at
Cloud chief his actions aroused the sus-
pieions Of the officers, and he was arrest
ed and lodged in JAN. A few days later
he made a full confession of the murder
and was indicted for murder in the first
degree.
The case came to this county on a
change of venue and was tried about
year ago. The jury returned a verdict Of
murder in the first degree and recon-
mended the death penalty. Kirk was
sentenced TO hang, but the supreme court
reversed the ruling Of the court below on
a motion for new trial and granted the
accused another trial. which has Just
been concluded, with the result above
stated
R. B. rorrest was Kinks attorney and
stood by him when all others, even his

difficult to make any one believe It who
heard the sickening details Of the crime /
April y is the time set by the court 1

ACTED LIKE A BRUTE
Big Yellow Negro Whips Girl at Ok
IahOma CITY.

Guthrie, o. T., April S.-The Oklahoman
Of Oklahoma City says: Al about
o'clock this morning the police were sum
moned to Richardson's restaurant, col
ored joint on Reno street near the Santa
Fe tracks. A big yellow negro named
Frank Sims, more generally known as
Daley, had entered the restaurant,
where a colored girl named George For
man was sitting at table writing. With
out a word Sims seized the girl by the
arm and dragged her to the rear room
door. brutally kicking am beating her
with a pistol. Before the police appeared
he ran out the back way an is said to
have caught passing southbound freight
train.
1t is said Sims is fond of the girl, but
she has received his attentions with in
difference, and he became enraged. He is
said to have an unsavory reputation, and
the police are anxious to have effected
his capture. The woman is in a serious
condition as a result of the assault.
The police telephoned the Norman au-
thorities to look out for two negroes on
the freight, as two were reported to have
gotten on the train here. A telephone
message later received from Norman adj
vised that two negroes had been captured
and they were brought here on the morn
ing passenger train. and Sims is in jail.

Delegate Flynn's statement that he IS

AN Murder Case.


Guthrie, G. T., April S-The final pa
pers have been made out for the stay Of
execution for Thomas Queenan who was
sentenced to be hanged at Oklahoma City
On April IL The stay of execution was
granted on the grounds that the trial
of Queenan was not legal owing to the
fact that one Of the jurors in the case, J..
+. Harper had been convicted OF grand
larceny on September d, in Pawnee
county, Nebraska, in the year 1881, under
the name Of Jesse harper. Harper was
one of the jurors who convicted Clie5aaa
and because of the fact that he was not
qualified according to the laws Of the ter
ritory. ne win have q chance to have his
case heard in a higher court, owing to
the appeal which he his made.
1t was claimed that the court erred as
follows:
l. In overruling and denying the mo
ton of plaintiff in error for a new trial.
?. in denying and overruling his mo-
ton IN arrest of judgment.
8 In oveuuling his motion to Quash
the indictment
l. In overruling and denying his de-
murrer to the indictment
