TO LOSE Her NO MORE
Indian WOmsn's Death Causes Her
Former Husband TO Mourn.

Guthrie, O. T.. Feb. 25.-The Stroud
Messenger gives this account of the life
and death of a woman Of the Sac and
Fox tribe:
Ers. Henry Hal, Sac and Fox Indian,
died Sunday at her home 16 miles north
of town and was buried Monday at the
agency cemetery In 1873 Sarah Turner
was married to Billie Harris. a member
of the Sac and Fox council. Billie says
they lived happily together until about
seven years ago. when they parted. Hall
came down from Kansas about year and
a half ago and appointed himself a kind
of dictator of the Indians of the village,
and married Binie's wife. Hall displayed
a good deal of enthusiasm for a time, and
insisted on all the Indians keeping their
lands. and not lease them to the whites
but soon got tired of his self-appointtd
position. because it necessitated too much
labor. and gave it up to spend his en-
tire time with his pipe and lying around
the camp fire. When his wife died Hall
pulled out for Kansas. without waiting
for the burial services. Billie believes
that when he crosses the foot-log that
leads to the happy hunting grounds he
win be reunited to the once beautiful
maiden Sarah Turner. and theren be no
firewater nor other temptations to mar
their perpetual bliss.

HELD FOR EMBEZZLEMENT
Ch0etaw Freight OaicIaI at OkIaho
m Cifv Is Arrested


Oklahoma City, O. T., Feb. 25.-The
Oklah0man says:
Upon the charge Of embezzlement H. J.
Franklin. clerk in the local freight
Office of the Choctaw, Oklahoma & Gulf,
now languishes in the coenty jail, having
been arrested sundey 1dght by SherH
O'Brien and Deputy Goucher
It appears that when Auditor Windsor,
Of the Choctaw line. began checking up
the freight Office in Oklahoma City, dur
ing last December. he found diverse ir-
regularities. and the further the work of
checking progressed the more tangled
the record became. and As a consequence
the work of locating the cause Of the
disarrangement and irregularities Of the
records was taken up. and as a result,
young Franklin was suspended and later
arrested upon the charge of embezzlement.
Unless the auditor has made an eereg-
ious biunder, which is scarcely probable.
Franklin's chance of making r trip to
Lansing at the expense of the territory OF
Oklahoma is good.
The exact amount Of the funds which
it is believed to be due the railway from
Franklin IS not known. but it is believed
the grand total viii run close into the
