FRANTZ AFTER MARSHALSHlP
Enid Man Would Like TO Have ThOmp.
sons Place,

Guthrie, 0. II, Nov. 30.-That a federal
position in Oklahoma is considered a good
thing is strongly brought out by the fact
that the present incumbents Of positions
whose terms expire soon are again can
didates for appointments. A federal posi-
ton in Oklahoma is much sought after
and if there seems to he any doubt that
any official will not be re-appointed there
are many able men ready to spring q
string of endorsements on the authorities
at Washington.
One of the first appointments to be
made in Oklahoma is that of United
States marshal. The commission of c. II.
Thompson expires on January 10 1902. and
Mr.. Thompson already ha sa long list of
endorsements from Oklahoma people and
Kansas politicians as well. Some of the
knowing politicians state that Captain
Frank Frantz of Enid, is in the field. for
the marshalship and as he is an ex-Rough
Rider and a personal friend of President
Roosevelt it is likely to make Thompson
a hard fight. Frantz was recently in
Washington and called on Roosevelt at
the White House, where he was cordially
received. A delegation of Enid citizens
in the city a few days ago in consultation
with Congressman Flynn on political af-
fairs. pushed the name OF Frantz for mar
shall. Thus far Frantz is the only person
who has been seriously considered by
politicians outside of Thompson in con-
nection with the marshalship.

Shawnee. c. T. Nov 30-The burning to
death of the two little boys, the sons of
Tilden Gilman. Of this city. was one of
the most pathetic and heartrending trag-
edies that has occurred in this vicinity
in its history.
The heart-breaking grief of the mother
and the anguish of the father of the lit

pour out silent sympathy TO these be

horrible story of the fire in these lines:

DEAD BOY
Is TAKEN TO
KANSAS IN WAGON
Father Would Not Bury Him
on the Bleak Prairie.
YOUTH DIED ALL ALONE
While His Father Had Gone
for the Doctor.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 3O.-No settlement
of a new country, no matter with what
order it is accomplished, can be cOnsum-
mated without its pathetic incidents. In
the round of the season. death comes in
a new country as in an old one, and the
terror of death. far out Of the reach of
civilization, on the dreary eXpanse of I'M
broken prairie. can only be described by
those who have felt it. One man, resent
ing the bleakness, and facing poverty,
has refused to put his boy into a lonely
grave, and is taking his body, by wagon,
back 10 the old home in Kansas. The in
cident. which is unusual, but touching, is
related in the Blackwell News, which
says:
My boy is in that wagon, dead" Said
John Wilson, this morning, as he stood
waiting for a freiNt train to pull out,
so that he could drip over the crossing
of the Frisco track.
John Wilson is an old gentleman who
passed through the city this morning, on
his way TO Elk City. Kansas. He was
driving a span of poor, jaded horses at
tached to a covered wagon, in which was
a coffin containing the body of his dead
son, who died near Mountain Park, in
the new country.
It's been a sad journey for me-" re-
marked the old man, as the tears moist
ened his eyes and his chin quivered.
You see, we located claim down in the
new country, and my boy and I were pre-
pairing home so we could send back and
bring mother down. we have been liv-
ing near Elk City, Kansas, and that is
where I am taking him back to now.
Well. the boy took sick. I didn't think it
anything serious. until one night he be-
came delirious. There were no neighbors
anywhere near, owing to the fact that but
few of them have as yet moved upon
their claims, and the nearest town was
fifteen miles away.
Il saddled horse and rode to town
for a doctor. You see, I had TO ride
distance of thirty miles before I could
reach the boy with assistance, and when
the doctor and I reached the house the
boy was
Here the old mans voice seemed to
choke, and he drew the back of his hand
across his eyes, tugged at a hamestring
as though something was wrong with it,
and picking up a small stick and break
ing it into small pieces, continued his mar
rative.
'WeH, the poor boy was dead. He had
died all alone there by himself Probably
YOU never experienced the feeling, but
I just wanted to lay down there and die
beside him. I didn't want to bury him
away down there on that wild. bleak
prairie. To have done so would have
about killed his dear old mother. So, I |
had him embalmed, and not having the /
money to ship his body back on the rail- /
road, I am hauling it back in this wagon, |
and we viii bury him beside his sister and |
two brothers. He was our youngest /
child, and now all our children are dead" I
The train having pulled out, the old /
man started north on his long, sad jour /
ney, which viii only end at the side of /
a new-made grave in a lonely graveyard.

north Of the railroad.
On examination. Mr.. Tackett found the
head of the man was horribly bruised and
cut up: his head and face having been
smashed into bloody pulp by a club.
which lay near by the dead man. It was
about two feet long and couple of inches
in thickness and breadth. The print OF
the sharp corners of the weapon were
easily distinguishahle on the face OF the
murdered man
The story OF the crime was printed on
the ground for a hundred feet around.
Foot prints showed where the men had
walked down from the railway track and
crossed little creek Here the struggle
had commenced. 1t looked as though the
man killed had been held up, robbed of
his money coat, vest and shoes. and then
been murdered, after a fierce running
fight.
The features OF the man, as far as dis
tinguishable, were given by the coroner.
He said the dead man had 2 small sandy
moustaehe, dark red hair. weighs about
40 pounds. and is five feet. seven and one
half inches in height. His age is esti-
mated at between 50 and 40 years.
No letters or papers of any kind were
found on his person. He wore black
overshirt anu a yellow undershirt, 2 pair
OF black pants and blue overalls.
The whole story of the crime at this
time is a supposition. and the true facts
of the case may rlsver be known.
Two negroes have been arrested as pos
sible suspects of the crime. but whether
the stranger viii ever be identified is a
different question. The negroes arrested
are named Allie Walker and Ed Flowers
They have been picking cotton and
camping out doors near the scene OF the
