Guthrie, 0. T., Sept. 19.-R. D.
Goree, the man supposed to have been
killed by Col. H. B. Howell and son
at Mcknight, Oklahoma, last Satur-
day, is still living.

him to Fort Worth yesterday for the

he arrived Goree began to show signs

tion and possessing only an ordinary

the time has come when another

be permitted to enter into any deal

and granting him every right under
the law, yet they have gone about it
all in a way that shows they are de-
termlned that he shall not enjoy the
notority OF great publicity which men
OF his class crave and for the attain
ment of which they often resort to
the commission Of crime. Every eff
tort so far seems to have been to
keep the miserable creature out of
sight of the public as much as posi-
Bile. In this they have succeeded re-
markedly well. The court before
which he will be tried has shown it's
fairness and humane feeling by as
signing as counsel for the murderer
two OF the most eminent lawyers of

place. This assures him a fair and
honest hearing and that his interests
will receive able care.
The way the Buffalo authorities are

by the presiding judge may be ac-

London, Sept. 19.-The Beers have
captured 200 British troops and three
guns at Scheepers Mex.
A dispatch from Lord Kitchener
from Pretoria, dated September IS,
says that the Beers, September II,
ambushed three companies of mount
ed infantry, with three guns, com
manded by Major Cough, in the vicin-
ity of S~cheepers Mex. After severe
fighting the British were
ed and lost their guns, the sights and

stroyed. Two officers and IA men
were killed and five officers and 25
men wounded. Five officers and $50
men We're made prisoners. Major
Cough, who escaped during the night,
reports that the Beers numbered a
thousand men and that they were
commanded by General Botha.
General French reports that Com
mandant SHUTS, in order to break

SUPREME COURT REVERSED


Honolulu, via San Francisco, Sept.
19.-United States Judge Estee has
decided that the constitution of the
United States was extended to the
Hawaiian islands by the Newlands
resolution, sustaining the decision of
Circuit Judge Near, and reversing the
supreme court of Hawaii. The deci-
sion was rendered in the case of a
Japanese convicted of manslaughter
without the indictment of a grand
jury, and on the verdict of nine trial
jurors. Appeal from the Estee's de-
cision will be taken to the United
States supreme court.
The decision, if it stands, will have
a very important effect. There are
25 Or 80 prisoners in Oahu who were
Illegally convicted and sentenced I'M
der the ruling of the court, and all
may have to be tried over again.
Some of the cases are old ones in
which witnesses cannot be found.
Large sums collected by the Hawaiian
government in tariffs may also have
to be refunded.

A WAR CRAVEN.

notwithstanding his boosted con-
tempt OF death and his loud mouthed
professions of willingness to incur n
personal danger, no matter how treat.
so long as he is able to carry out his
doctrine OF assassination of those in
high Offices, the anarchist at heart
is an arrant coward. He fears death
the same as do most other men and
has the same dread Of punishment
that is manifested by other violators
OF the law. In times of absolute
safety to himself he talks loudly and
b~oastlngly of what he will
do when opportunity offers it.
self and his speech is of
murder, blood and death. He may
even pur himself on to the commits
sion OF the deed of which he loves to
boast When surrounded by a gang of
his fellow cutthroats and when
worked up to a frenzy by the fendish-
ness CT his perverted and degenerate
i1ind. But that deed committed, he at
once becomes the crave that nat
ure has made him and is possessed
OF the most abject fear. The thought
that h will be regarded as a MARTYR
and tina his name will be glorified by
those left behind affords no compeD-
satlon for the feeling of danger that
Hills his soul and his cowardly mind
magnifies and intensifes his every
fear. Death is invested with a thou
sand horrors and agonies that to the
pure OF heart are unknown, while the
life beyond holds out no hope to him.
He'll is open and yawning to receive
him. He realizes that his crime is alb
horred of man and denounced by
heaven. Trembling and stricken he
awaits the mandate of the law he
has offended and takes advantage OF
every bubble and technicality which
that despised structure contains by
which he may hope to escape the pen
atty of his act. No anarchist has
ever yet been brought to the bar of
justice who has refused the benefit
OF counsel or who has declined to
avail himself of the safeguards which
the law places about those on trial for
the commission of a crime. Instead
OF facing what may be in store for
him with glad Indifference, a living,
breathing testimonial to the Ioftiness
of his ideals and a willing offering
on the shrine of his belief, he be-
comes a cringing, contemplate crea-
ture, crazed by fear and haunted by
remorse. A fine specimen of the mar
tyr, indeed, this debased, cowardly
reptile, clinging to his unworthy life
with the tenacity Of all malfactors
and shuddering with indescribable
terror at the very thought of having
