An Editor Stabbed.

Muscogee, l. T., Feb. 2I.-k. W.
Whitemore, proprietor OF the Checo-
tab Enquirer, and one OF the best
known men of the territory, was
stabbed this morning in his office
by a man named G, F, Grain. Ac'
cording to an eye witness, a settle
ment OF accounts was taking place,
when Grain, becoming angered dur
ing a dispute that had arisen, seized
a sharp paper cutter and stabbed
Whitemore. The wound took effect
in the stomach and penetrated to
within an inch of the spinal column
Grain then left the office and was
shortly afterward arrested by deputy
Marshal Frank Jones and taken to
Euffaula. He says that during the
settlement OF the account, White
more's brother drew gun on him
! and that he stabbed the first one he
could reach, in self.defense. This
statement is not borne out by the
Others present. Whitemore was un
conscious in few moments after be

of the Democrats

Des Moines, To-, Feb. 2T.-The
threats of political enemies to pre-
vent the return ofSpeaker Henderson
to congress have called for a second
letter from him on the tariff ques'
ton. To ]. W. Adams, Il eonstitu-
ent of Waverly, he writes;
1T is Babcockism that is disturb
ing our people, or rather, back Of
that, the trusts, the aim being to
strike at the steel trust and the
glass trust, but there is no need of a
general revision OF the tariff law.
The aim is to hit the trusts. In
this aim | thoroughly sympathize,
but if the steel trust is selling abroad
and beating foreign competitors,
how are we going To kill the trusts
by reducing the tariff orputting steel
on the free list?
That is the democratic remedy
pure and simple.
1t is Organism and cannot be eff,
fective without disturbing other in
dustries which are essential to the
happiness and prosperity of the ma
tion."
The question OF tariff revision, he
says, is being considered,

FARMER BLEW OUT HIS BRAINS.
There is no Known Cause for His
Committing the Deed.

Columbus, Kas., Feb. 26.-James
briggs, farmer living about four
Niles northwest of this city, suicided
this morning by blowing out his
brains with a double barreled shot

arrived here at noon and immediate
ly went to the scene of the crime to
investigate it.
1t is not known what prompted
Briggs to commit the terrible act.
His financial circumstances were
good and so far as known, his family
relations were pleasant. He was con-
sidered a good citizen and prosper

Murder at independence.

X. Z. star, q.
Laura Hibbler, n negro girl IA
years old, was found dead in her
homein Independence about noon to-
day. She was found by her mother,
Mrs. james Brown, lying in bed i'll
the same position as she was when
the mother left in the morning for her
work. The girls skull had been
crushed with some blunt instrument.
James Brown. the murdered girl s
stepfather, is locked up in the indie
pendence Jail, charged with the crime.
1t is believed that Brown struck his
stepdaughter in fit OF anger. The
man charged with the crime is Il ma
tive OF the Hawaiian islands. He
came here in 1896 with the Hawaiian
band that gave a series OF concerts
at Westinghouse park. When the band
disbanded, Brown went to lndepend-
ence and has been employed as a Ia
borer. but has not worked steadily
because he was addicted to the use OF
|intoxicants. At one time he worked
for Judge Gates, In appearance he
is a handsome fellow and although
he has always associated with negroes
his complexion is light and his long
black hair and mustache give him
the appearance of Caucasian.
About three years ago he married
Mrs. Hibbler, the mother of the girl,
who was murdered to-day.
When Mrs Brown left her room on
Farmer street to go to work this
morning, her daughter was sleeping
quietly in bed and Brown was lying
on the floor, drunk. As soon as the
girl was found with her skull crushed
a search was made for the Hawaiian.
He was found at a neighbours house
pretending to be asleep. He was
locked in dark cell in the Jail and
the officers refused to allow anyone
to see him.

A Third Snow Slide at the
Mines Near Telluride,
Col.
While Rescuers We're at Work Remoy
ing Bodies From Under the Heavy
Mass Tens Of Snow Came
Down Upon Them.
Down Upon Them.

Telluride, Col, Feb. 2S.-Three
snow slides at the Liberty Bell mine,
on Smuggler mountain, to-day caus-
edfrom thirty to seventy-fve deaths.
A close estimate of the number OF
fatalities is impossible at this time.
Although the mine is scarcely two
miles from this town, information is
difficult to obtain an account of the
PERCEPTIONS character OF the roads
and the vast amount OF snow. Near
ly all the buildings of the Liberty
Bell mine were carried down by the
slide. All the books which show the
number and names of the men EN-
ployed we're lost, so that the death
list can hardly be known for many
hours, possibly not until the rescuers
have removed the snow, rocks and
logs from the canon where the men
are buried.
A SECOND SLIDE BURIED MANY.
Two slides occurred practically in
the same place, the second burying
those who were trying torescue those
who were buried under the first. The
first slide occurred at 1880 O'Clock
this morning while the men of the
day shift were preparing for their
days work. There were about 200
men employed in the mines and mills
of the Liberty Bell company and less
than half those were at work at the
time of the accident. The Others
were in the boarding house or in the
clubhouse near by. Both of these
buildings were carried down the
mountain side a distance of 2,O0O
feet and were crushed to kindling
wood by tons OF snow.
TWAS 10 O'Clock before news OF the
disaster reached Telluride. Men
started for the mine Immediately
Meantime the surviving employees o.
the Liberty Bell began the work O
rescue and several were taken out
alive, while dozen or more bodies
were removed from the snow which
lay piled twenty-five feet deep in thu
bottom of the canon. A little aftel
noon second slide, starting a shOrt
distance above the first and prac
tically following it's track, SWEEP
down the mountainside, buryins
many OF the rescuers.
THE THIRD SLIDE AT 3 O'CLOCK.
A third snowslide came down at
O'Clock, about one mile below tn,
Liberty Bell mines, and Gus Vol
Gintel, John Powell and Paul Dal
pura, who we're on their return from
the place OF the catastrophe THU
morning, we're swept away. Harry

here last night tells of a sold-up which
Occurred at Harrisburg, a small town
twelve miles east OF this place.
Yesterday evening at about dusk two
strangers rode up to the store Of Horton
& Copeland and dismounted and walked
Inside. It was about supper time. and for
tunate for the robbers, as everyone was

land. One of the strangers asked for
change for a twenty-dollar bill. Mr.. Hor-
ton started TO the rear Of the store for il,
and the robbers, seing they were able
10 make the change, threw their SIX
shooters down on the two merchants and
told them 10 shell out their cash and be
quick about it. They obeyed with marked
alacrity. The robbers secured about $50
or 800, the storekeepers not knowing the
exact amount as they had not made up
their days sales. After securing the
money they marched the two storekeep-
ers outside and made them hold up their
hands until they mounted their ponies,
when they rode hurriedly away towards
the northeast. When they got about
three miles from the scene of the rob
berry they found q buggy standing in

Oklahoma City. o T, Feb. 20.-MayOr
Jones. Of this city, is just back from
Washington. where he went on some rail-
road business. He doesn't believe that
Oklahoma viii get statehood this session
Of congress. but he says both sides, sep
arate and single statehooders are making
strong fight for their interests. His
answer to a question rs 20 his inquiries
into the subject at Washington, is re-
ported by the Oklahoman thus:
Yes. and I want to say to you that
these fellows are having warm fight
OF it at Washington. From an investi-
cation of the situation I am satisfied
there viii be no statehood legislation
of any kind at this session. Of course.
the FLYNN bill for double statehood, may
pass The house. but there viii have to
be a coroner's inquest over it when the
senate deals with it.
Is II not a fact that congress I, ami
tests little interest in the matter?'
"On the contrary, most Of the congI ess-
men are not only considering 1t, but ex-
hibit most lively interest IN the matter.
The opponents Of single statehood are
working Ike beavers TO secure the pas
sage Of the Flynn bill but the single
statehood crowd IS putting up the best
fight you ever saw. Charley Barrett has
his coat off and is going after the cIpo-
sition. and Judge Bradford, of Ardmore,
is not leaving q stone unturned to secure
legislation favorable to union of the two
territories ir statehood. I never saw any
more interested or doing better work
for cause than he is doing in Washing
ton fer single statehood"
