Leo Benefits Story.

Leo, the lion-hearted brave from
over about Muskogee, tells the follow
ing story Of crime TO the washington
Post:
About the only kind Of crimes that
show a diminution in the Indian
Territory are train robberies and
raids on banks" said United states
Marshal Bennett. Of Muskogee, l. T,
at the Normandie
Crime SIS as rampan. today in 9th
or lines as I have ever known #, and
my thirty deputies are kept forever
on. ae alert 20 apprehend yiolators
of the law. There isn't a day in the
year that we have not from thirty to
dny men. charged with murder, in
the penitentiary. The train-robbing
business was discontinued. because It
got too hazardous, and not from any
advance In morality on the part of
the Territory's tough citizens.
"The most effective way we have
in keeping the criminals down TO a
minimum Of evil work is to break up
their gangs. Wherever We hear Of
their concentration, officers are sent
to disperse them They scatter on
the approach Of the deputies, and,
singly, have not the nerve to carry
out schemes Of looting
Another factor in the breaking up
Of the gangs is the improved, modern
rifle. In the old days one or two
outlaws could fortify themselves in a
hut and stand OFF a company of sol
diers. They cant do that any longer.
With the new kind Of gun the repre-
sentative of the law carries, the walls
Of a log cabin are no protection to
the rufIians, for the bullets from a
winchester will riddle them and
destroy everything hidden behind
them, at distance never dreamed of
when the bad man terrorized the
frontier"

FEE BILL PASSED.
Indian Territory Court officers and
Witnesses 70 Receive Mileage.

Indian Territory Court Officers and
Witnesses TO Receive Mileage.
washington. D. c., June 1.-THE
senate today passed the house bill
to fix the fees OF United States mar.
shals and witnesses in the Indian
Territory. The measure is designed
to meet a condition which has made
the enforcement Of the laws in the
Indian Territory practically impossi.
BILE Il was demonstrated to the com.
mittees having the bill under consid.
Grafton that many persons charged
With crimes in the Territory escaped
prosecution and punishment solely
because the expenses Of the officials
were far in excess Of their compensa.
ton In the Territory the marshal or
deputy marshal must take the accused
before the United States commission.
Ter. whose actual and official residence
Is generally remote from the place
OF arrest. and the witness for the
prosecution generally has to travel a
long distance TO attend a trial. II was
brought to the attention Of the com.
mittee that the deputy marshal some.
times spends two days in the appre-
hension and bringing before the com
missioner Of a criminal. and receives
therefor the sum Of 75 cents, for the
two days services. II was also called
TO the attention Of the committee that
witnesses sometimes have to travel
as far as 100 miles to attend the trial
before the commissioner, but under
the law such a witness cannot be
paid more than so cents. No mileage
is allowed to the witness.
The bill was recommended by At
torney General Knox. As enacted II
provides for the payment Of witnesses
at the rate Of $3.50 day and mileage
and allows the usual fees for United
States marshals and their deputies
