HELD FOR GRAND JURY.
Parties Charged With Death Of Thomp.
son Pickens-Indian.


Dr. r. s. Booth and his son DR..
Everett Booth in company with others
went to the Pickens cemetery last
Sunday, near Mcmillan, and exhumed
the body of Thompson Pickens, a full
blood Chickasaw Indian who had been
buried five weeks, for the purpose of
holding an autopsy on the remains to
ascertain the cause of death.
The skull was found TO be fractur-
ed, and upon being apprised of this
fact warrants were issued by the au-
thorities for the arrest OF Pete Mlckle
and Walter Vannoy OF Tishomingo,
who are alleged to have struck Pick
ems across the head with pistol in
October. Both men were in Ardmore
when the warrants were issued and
very willingly surrendered.
On Monday afternoon, only a few
hours after their Incarceration, they
were given a hearing before Judge
Bradford. DR.. Booth testified in sub
stance that he had held an autopsy
and that he found two wounds on the
scalp. The posterior wound did not
injure the skull The anterior wound.
located to the left Of the center of the
head perforated the scalp and perios-
teum, fractured the outer and inner
tables of the skull and perforated the
membrane lining the brain and rupt-
ured an artery. DIR. Booth gave IL
as his opinion that Thompson PicF.
ems came to his death as the result
of the wound he had found on the
head. DR.. Everett Booth gave substan-
TALLY the same testimony. When the
physicians had testified the defendante
were held to await the action OF the
grand jury. Henry M. Furman repro
sented the defense and A. C. Cruce
conducted the prosecution.

He astonishes all men.
BY the hundred organs peal
Where the worshipers oft kneel,
And the muSic's there because
This same Scotch born Santa Claus.
Moved by kindly interest.
Put 20. X" on each request
And would not leave in the lurch
Any organ needing church.

Libraries throughout this land,
And In lands beyond the Sea
Proofs Of generosity

Where this Santa has planked down
Cash 80 all who vish may read
And for books need no mors plead.
But the place where more than all
This famed SAINTS loves to call
Is the town where yoas were passed
And where fortune was amassed.
Here he reared an institute
That has won worldwide repute.
And polytechnic school
Soon will show his love can't cool.
He has come again and gone.
Going after he had drawn
From his cash two millions more.
Just as freely as before.
Far and wide spreads bis renown.
Great his lovs Tor his old town.
And no wonder there's applause
For this Scotch born Santa Claus

SHOPPERS LOSE PURSES.

The operations Of female pickpOcket
in several of the downtown stores yes
terday afternoon occupied the attention
Of the Headquarters detectives for time,
but so far they have not succeeded in
locating the culprit. She evidently took
fright and managed to make her escape.
There is but little doubt that it is a
woman who is pursuing the nefarious
trade. as in both instances only women
were in the vicinity Of the victims at the
time that they missed their valuables.
The first report came from Miss Mary
Leech, who visited Police Headquarters
during the afternoon and reported that
her pocketbook had been taken from her.
She was in a Seventh Street store at the
time II was missed, and stated that she
suspected no one. The pocketbook con-

Mrs, Bonine states that she graspod

the struggle for the possession of the
pistol continued, Ayres, she said. removed

il was found.
Ayres it will be remembered, received
three woundS-one in his forearm. an
other in his breast, and one in his left
thigh. The first two wounds showed very
positive powder marks. indicating the
proximity Of The weapon which was dis
charged. There were no powder marks,
however, about the wound in the thigh.
1t is also stated that the bullet wound
in the thigh whicn1entered in front, took
an upward course
1t is believed that the position of the
wounds found on hyres' body will play
an important part in solving the mystery
as to how he met his death These
wounds in themselves demonstrate the
facts that the wounds in the breast and
arm were inflicted at very close range,
and that the one in the thigh was not.
