ARREST MRS. ASBURY
At Pryor Greek, so it is Reported,
and Cloak Their Action Under
the Veil of Detecting
a Crime"

Pryor Greek people are much
astir over the incidedts preceding
the death Of Charley Williams, ths
farmer who was found dead last
Monday morning.
AS printed in the Chieftain
Williams had a considerable sum
of money Saturday and Sunday
and when found Monday morning
the cash was missing.
At once several persons jumped
at the conclusion that Williams
had been murdered. A post
mortem examination by DR.. Bris-
tow demonstrated that death was
the result OF neuralgia of the heart.
Since that date the community
are divided and charges and count.
exchanges are Being made against
each other by men who have been
friends and neighbors for years.
Saturday Williams withdrew
money from the bank and that
night slept at the residence Of J.
l.. Sherman in a room also occu-
pied by Joe Adair. Sherman was
up during the night when Williams
came out Of his room looking
scared and complained of feeling
sick. He said that Adair was try
ing to rob him, but this was be-
lieved to be gagary of his mind.
The next day Williams showed
a roll Of bills to Sherman and hid
them on a rafter in the barn. He
was advised to take the money
away as the rats might destroy it.
That night Williams slept with
Bob Williams who, however, is no
relation.
In the morning he was found to
be dead.
The facts would indicate beyond |
doubt that be bid the money
somewhere and that it will, some
lime, be found.
Since DR.. Bristov's examination
The murder theory has been given
up by those who were sure a crime
lad been committed. Now, with
,ut facts upon which to base their
opinions, number yet maintain
hat Williams was robbed.

DAWES COMMISSION.
Chairman Bixby satifes the Senate
Committee That All the Cash
Asked For is Needed and
That it Will beExpend-
ed Judiciously.


The senate committee on In
dian affairs have decided to report
in favor of an appropriation OF
1924, 900 for the Dawes commits
sion for the next eighteen months.
The decision means that the full
senate committee which has the
bill in charge will report in favor
of this amount, and as there is no
objection to the appropriation in
the house, that it viii be accepted
by the house conferees.
The decision of the committee
was reached after an hour spent by
Mr.. Tams Bixby, chairman Of the
Dawes commission, in discussion
of the needs of the commission.
He was closely questioned by Sem
ators Jones. Plat, of Connecticut,
and Pettigrew. and gave much in
formation as to the plans of the
commission for the coming year.
He said that much Of the delay OF
the commission was directly at
tributehle to the handicap which
it han had frequently in the de-
cisions of one of the federal courts
of the Indian Territory.
During the course of the hearing
Mr.. Bixby told the committee
members Of the number Of men,
bers of surveying party; how
they were organized and the neces-
stiles of each party. He also ex-
planned the salaries paid and the
difficulty in getting men fitted for
the work, and in training them to
point of efficiency. He denied
that he or any member OF the COM
mission had ever authorized the
statement which was made on the
floor of the house at the time when
the last appropriation was made of
$500, 900 for the commission, that
the sum would be sufficient to close
up the work Of the commission.
He expressed the opinion that it
would take at least 81, ,000, 600 to
finish all Of it, and was interrupted
by Senator Pettigrew. former chair
man OF the Indian committee, who
is well posted on Indian affairs
with the ejaculation, "Yes; it will
come nearer taking 1900, 600, 4" to
which Mr.. Bixby nodded assent.
Mr.. Bixby also said that there
remained on hand 100000 Of. the
$500, GO which had been appropri-
tied for the last year, and il could
lot be expended by the close Of
iscal year, and would have to be
urned back into the treasury. He
vas asked directly the sum which
he commission needed to carry
ts work, and said that it should
ave al least s324,00O. :

The Amendment invalid.

Judge A. R. Dewey Of the 9th judic-
ial district in a contest between coun-
ty attorney elect, M. W. Baily, to
oust his predecessor James w. Brook
hart. The case was heard at Washing
ton on the 8th instant and Judge
Dewey has knocked out the Titus
amendment.
He holds that the election shows
popular sentiment was agai asst the law
as the number voting against, and not
voting, exceeds those voting for it.
He holds in part:
That 1t was not only the express
wording of the law but the undoubted
intent that the same was to lie spread
at length upon the records, is shown
by the fact that this is the only legiti-
mate source from which the people
could be informed of what the,--legis-
lature intended to ask the people to
vote upon.
"From the provision of the law itself
the expression, entered on the jour
nal, could in no sense be construed to
mean anything but that which is so
plainly expressed, that is. to set forth
in fall, as the law no wherewelse pro-
vides for its preservation and for the
sole reason that the world could know
from some, and in this case the only
authentic source, what the legislature
asks the people to amend. II this is
not true,t he court asks with proprie-
ty, where could the enquirer go for
authentic information? Not to the
rolls. There is none provided for. Not
to the caption or title of the act, be-
cause the law makes no provision for
either title or caption"
The same law provides that such
proposed amendment shall be referred
to the legislature to be shown at the
next general election and shall be
published as provided by law for three
months previous to the time of max
ing said choice.
