respect Oklahoma can satisfy the ma

SHOT MAN
OVER PAIR
OF HAMES
Fatal Ending of a Small
Quarrel Near Lexington.
WOMAN SAW SHOOTING
But Turned Her Head Away
From Awful Scene.

Guthrie, o. T, Oct is-Small things
sometimes result in q shooting affair,
which seems TO have been the case when
BENJAMIN A. Thomas shot and killed VIII
liam Eel near Norman over a pair of
names. The Norman Transcript tells the
story as follows: benjamin A. Thomas
shot and killed William N. Eel at the
Thomas place, six miles east of Lexington,
on Monday morning, about o'clock. The
bullet struck Eel on the right temple,
killing him almost instantly Thomas
used a 3s-calibre revolver and fired sew
eral shots, but only one took effect
The trouble seems to have been over a
dispute regarding the ownership of a pair
Of names. Thomas had gone to EzeITs
place and got into q dispute with Ezelrs
sister and pulled his gun on the brother.
Ezell interfered, and Thomas put his gun
back into his pocket and invited Eel TO
20 over to his CThomasO place and get a
pair of names. Ezen consented, but when
they arrived there Thomas pulled his gun
and commenced to shoot as his victim was
getting over the fence Mrs. Elite Tekner
saw him take his gun from his pocket
but turned away her head and did not see
the shooting. Thomas claimed that Ezell
followed him from the Eel place, al
though he had warned him not to; and
again warned him not to get over the
fence. Eel kept coming, with the result
that he was killed.
County Attorney Wolf and Sheriff Smith
went down Tuesday and attended the in
quest which was held by Justice Sharp.
The jury brought in a verdict of feloni-
Gus killing against Thomas. who is now
in jail. being held without bond. He does
not seem to realized the magnitude of his
crime. being seemingly uncOncerned and
Indifferent
Thomas is % years old and has wife
and several children. Eel was about 40.
Both bore good regulations.

M'KINLEY'S WILL.
Estate. Estimated Mt from $225,OOO
to $25O,OOO, Goes to the Widow
During Her Life.

Canton, O., Sept. 3O.-The will of
William Mckinley, filed for probate,
sdisposes of an estate estimated to be
worth between $225,OoO and S25o,ooO.
Following is the text:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. c.
I publish the following as my last will and
testament, hereby revoking all former
wills:
ITO my beloved wife, Ida S. Mckinley,
I bequeath all of my real estate, wherever
situated and the income of any personal
property of which I may be possessed at
death, during her natural life. I make the
following charge upon all of my property,
during her life $1,000 a year, and at her
death said sum to be paid to my sister,
Helen Mckinley. If the income from prop
.erty be insufficient to keep my wife in great
comfort and pay the annuity above pro-
videG, then I direct that such of my prop
erty be sold to make sum adequate
for both purposes. Whatever property re-
mains at the death of my wife I give to
my brothers and sisters, share and share
alike. My chief concern is that my wife
from my estate shall have all she requires
for her comfort and pleasure, and that my
mother shall be provided with whatever
money she requires to make her old age
comfortable and happy.
"Witness my hand and seal, this 22d day
of October, 1897, to my last will and tes-
,tament, made at the city of Washiugtou,
District of Columbia.
