NO FALTtRinG
ON STATEHOOD
SAYS NJ CURE
Republicans Must Make Good
Issue of Campaign
FAITH MUST BE KEPT
With the People Who Voted
for Bird Mcclure.

Guthrie. 0. T, Nov. 15.-Captain ]. v.
Ardmore Of the Free Press at Kinghsher,
under the caption Of There Must BE No
Faltering," has the following to say Of
the fight for statehood this winter
The Republican party Of Oklahoma.
through its party platform and its party
papers. through the campaign speeches
OF its standard bearer. Hon. 3. S Nc
CURE. and OF its party leaders, including
Governor Ferguson. Delegate Flynn. eX-
Governor Seay. Ex-Governor Barnes. and
scores Of others, stands committed 10 i'm
mediate statehood for Oklahoma. They
made this issue in every county IN the
territory. and on this issue the people
have elected Mr.. Mcclure TO congress
ana the party must keep its pledge made
to the people.
There must be no faltering upon this
question Of immediate statehood. but
every party leader and worker must from
this on work as hard for statehood as he
did for the election Of Mr.. Mcguire.
Mr.. Flynn must take up the fight in
congress and push the bin with all the
vim and energy Of which he is so capable,
and every federal. territorial and county
official every member OF the party or
ganizatiou and every Republican in the
ranks must back him in every way pos
sible if the party is to keep faith with
the people by using its utmost enjeavor
70 give them that which we promised
their full rights as American citizens.
There is no requirement that has ever
been made upon any territory for admis-
sion to the Union that Oklahoma has not
long ago fulfilled. there is no reasonable
requirement that can be conceived that
she cannot meet. and our people as a
matter Of right and Justice are entitled
TO the boon Of statehood without a single
days delay
If the political aspect is to be con-
sidered we have certainly fulfilled all Of
the requirements the most partisan sena-
tor could exact.
with a Republican delegate elected to
congress, a Republican senate and an
even stand off in the house We have done
better than do the Republicans Of Iowa.
Illinois, Ohio and Kansas many years.
And. to go back over the past dozen
years have we not won victories as often
as the Republicans of a majority of states
that rank in the Republican column7
rs there any good reason 10 believe
that we cannot hold our own even better
in the future If given statehood? None
whatever. except that We give one by
faitering in our support Of the statehood
measure; by repudiating our promises OF
the campaign just closed.
IF we remain true and win the fight
for statehood We are sure OF decisive VIC
tory in OKLAHOMA in the future; II we
falter and betray the people who have
intrusted their case in our hands the re-
publican party viii be wiped or the face
OF the earth when the people Of the ter
ritory are again given an opportunity to
peak at the polls.

sNEED IN THE TOLLS
Brought Back to Lawton, Charged
With Murder.

Guthrie, o. T., Nov. 1.-THE Lawton
News says: Last night Deputy Frank
Cantlin brought in Marion Sneed on the
charge OF numbering James Furber. The
arrest was made at Houston, Texas. and
Marion Sneed came against his viii.
After his Arrest at the Texas town he at
once instituted habeas corpus proceedings
and tried to escape being brought back
to this city. a requisition from Governor
Ferguson. isued upon proper showing
mad, by County Attorney Stevens, nipped
the habeas corpus in the bud
Marion Sneed will have no preliminary
hearing on this charge. The arrest was
made five days before the next meeting
of the grand jury Under these circum-
stances no preliminary is held. but the
entire matter is at once referred UP 10
the grand jury for such action as may
seem meet TO that body.
1t win be remembered that James Fur
ser was shot and instantly killed the
night of September 6. 1892, at Texowa,
small town in the southern part OF this
county. There is no doubt as to who did
the killing. Marion sneed admitted at
the time that he fired the shots, but

ner's jury was at once summoned by
justice of the peace, and before the body
of James Furber was hardly cold his
slayer had been discharged. The next day
Marion Sneed was brought to ms city
and. on the showing then made. the coun-
ty attorney declined TO prosecute. Since
that time it is claimed that new testimony
has been discovered. showing that the
killing was cold blooded. deliberate muir
DER That the witnesses, moreover. who
testified before the grand jury were mis-
representing tho facts.
The story Of the Killing OF James Furber
makes a graphic picture. He worked in
q grocery store. and on the evening Of the
killing got very drunk While drunk he
shot out the lights Of several buildings.
Later he and Marion sneed started 10
the grocery store TO get some crackers
At that time it was nearly o'clock Mon
day morning Every one in the little town
had retired. Suddenly several shots rang
cut, and Furber was a dead man. Sneed.
who ran saloon. was uuhurt. although
he declared Furber shot at him when
only five feet away Not so fortunate
was Furber. -Four cruel bullets entered
his anatomy. any one Of three being IA
tai. Now the entire matter comes before

lever and ran it out on the main line.

jumped of. The engine ran as far as
Noble before the power was finally ex-

Another engine was started from the
yards TO catch the runaway and an
exciting race followed, but the wild
engine had a good start and ran as far
as Noble before its steam gave out and
the pursuer soon caught up. The two
were coupled together and the runaway
was pulled back to the yards. There
were no trains in the way and no damage

MR., CARNEGIE SAYS
HALLS ARE COSTLY.
Therefore He Will Not Give His
100000 for One Here.
SCHEME NOT PRACTICABLE
|, This is the View Now I hat the Carnegie
Gift Will Not Be AvaiIable-Ihr
Organizations Yet Determined
to Get $4,000
SCHEME NOT PRACTICABLE

The proposed auditorium. to cost S3oo'-
600, to be used by the Art Club, the
Richmond Education Associa ton, the
Richmond Academy of Medicine. the
Wednesday Club and the Lyceum Bu-
sreau. will probably not be built for some
years to come.
What is likely the death blow comes in
the refusal ef Mr.. Carnegie to agree TO
the use of the 100000 proffered to Rich
mond for library.
The letter from the secretary OF MT.
Carnegie has been received by Mr. John
l. Williams. chairman of the supcom-
mittee and by him turned over to the
secretary of the general committee. MT.
R. a. Lancas ter. Jr. Mr.. B. F. johnson.
the chairman OF the general committee.
has called a meeting of that body for
5 O'Clock Thursday afternoon. when the
letter will be laid before it.
HALLS WE'RE "EXPENS1VE.
Mr. johnson was asked yes day after
noon what the nature CT The letter was.
He replied that he preferred that the
committee see it before its contents We're
given to the public. 1t is understood.
however that the miss!ve is from the
secretary of Mr.. Carnegie. and not die
tated by the millionaire. 1t states that
Mr.. Carnegie prefers not to co1nect mans
with his libraries. as he regards hails
expensive institutions. The letter IS
brief and to the point. being scarcely
more than plain declination to go into
the scheme.
The original idea was this: That the
organizations named above should club
together and get a fine building, to cost
$500 COO erected in a central locality for
their Joint use This was regarded prac-
tica Bile. provided the 100000 nucleus could
be secured from Mr.. Carnegie. Now that
all hope of this is destroyed, the matter
will probably be droppeds At least that
is the opinion of many.
MEN AT THE HELM
The general committee is composed of
representatives of the bodies already
named, and the subcommittee. which.
wrote to Mr.. Carnegie is composed Of
Mr.. williams. Mr.. A. ven n. Rosenegk.
Mr. Joseph Brayn, Mr.. John P. Branch
and Mr.. George w. Stevens.
Before the great hall to be used by all
the organiza tons was thought Of the
Art Club. the Wednesday Club and the
Richmond Education Association wers
already discussing ways and means for
getting a suitable building for the meet
ing place cf the three.
There is scarcely a doubt that the
three will resume their efforts If the
larger scheme falls through. The day Is
not far distant, It is believed, when
hall to cost $4,000 will be erected in a
convenient locality in the West End.
