All men capable Of exploitation
look alike to the Standard Oil Co.
This tremendous and world-encir
cling monopoly, unlike the foolish
workmen who stands in the way
Of his own progress by counten-
anc.ng national and race prejudice
knows no distinction between
Christian, Jew and Pagan, or be.
tween yellow and red men. Intent
upon advancing its own interests
and strengthening its hold upon
the oil industry Of the world, the
Standard Oil Co. makes alliance
with the christian Nobel, the Jew
Rothschild and the oil monopo.
lists Of Pagan japan. The white
races Of Europe, together with the
yellow ones Of japan and China,
surrender their oil wells to its
manipulations and profit. And
now comes the news that the red.
men Of the Cherokee Indian ma.
tion are leasing their oil lands to
this pioneer of modern, national
and international monopoly. The
leasing Of the red mans oil lands
is said to have been accomplished
by fraudulent means. Chief Buf.
fngton will appeal to the Interior
Department for the purpose Of
having the matter righled. He
might as we'll appeal to Satan to
abolish sin. The oil company
that can force a Rolhsohild to his
knees, will yet bring an Indian
chief-though he may be a heap
big one-to his senses. The pa,.
tiality displayed by governments
Of all nations to the Standard Oil
Co. will not be abated IN the in
terest Of "ths poor Indian. -

ESCAPED PRISON
MiIburn LOveIaCe Walks Out
of Columbus PenItentl-
ary on Forged Order,
WASCONVICTED HERE
OF the Brutal Murder of a Man
Named Glass at Welch in
1897 and Was Sentenced
For Life.

A sensational escape from Col
umbus penitentiary has been made
by Milburn LoVelace, alias Dick.
erson, who was serving a life sen.
tenoe for the brutal murder of
man named Glass, at Welch, in
1897.
Since his incarceration Lovelace
bas been an exemplary prisoner,
and has been accorded numerous
privileges by the prison officials.
Monday afternoon while the pris
oners were being marched from
dinner Lovelace dropped from the
line and entering the office Of
Superintendent; Hammond broke
open a locker and secured a suit OF
civilian clothes. Discarding his
prison for the civilian suit, be
cody entered the shop where hoes
are manufactured and presented to
the foreman a forged order from a
Columbus firm for some hoes. In
reply TO a question from the fore
man as TO when he was released,
Loyelace replied in a nonohalant
manner that he had been relea sed
several days before.
After obtaining the hoes Love.
lace walked quietly to the gates,
which were opened for him, and
walked out and away without ex-
citing the slightest suspicion. His
escape was not discovered for some
time, and when the alarm was
given be had disappeared and all
efforts TO locate him have so far
failed.
The trial OF Loyelaos here in
April 1897, was marked by a hard
fought legal battle. The trial at.
traoled a great deal OF tenlion
and was closely followed by all
conyersant with the story Of the
killing Of man named Glass al
Weloh.
The victim OF Loyelaoe owned
small hay business at Welch and
WAS 10 his office when LOyelaoe at.
tempted to hold him up. He re.
sisted and was shot down.
Convincing proof Of the guilt Of
Loyelace was adduced at bis trial
and he was convicted and sentenc
ed to a life term in Columbus pen.

ably fatally wounded him and &C.

TO PREVENT FRAUD.
lnterior Department VIII Protect
Heirs OF Deceased AIIottees.

The last congress passed an act
providing that the heirs Of de-
ceased Indian allottees might sell
their lands under certain condi.
tions.
To prevent the operations OF
the speculators the department
has just issued a set of regulations
providing the manner in which
these heirs of deceased Indians
may dispose Of their holdings
These regulations provide that the
deed or other instrument of con.
veyance must be executed in the
presence of two witnesses, and
must contain full and complete
evidence showing the death record
of the original allottee, and the
title Of the heir making the con.
yeyance. The Indian agent, su.
perintendent Of school or other
representatives OF the government
before whom the acknowledgement
is made must testify that the con.
sideration paid for the land is a
fair price, and that all conditions
precedent to the transfer have
been complied with. 1t is also
provided that there must be a per-
feet showing that the considera.
lion is IN cash, and that there is
no agreement, written OF verbal,
by which the Indian heir is to re.
ceive any machinery, clothing or
other article in lieu of the money
consideration for the transfer. II
must also be shown that the party
receiving the deed and land is not
an agent or representative of any
corporation or association formed
for the purpose Of acquiring the
land without competition or at
less than its fair market value.
All heirs Of an allotlee must join
in one deed or conveyance, and no
deed for an undivided interest
shall be made.
The department has assigned
one of it's trusted inspectors to in.
vestigate all deeds, and no con.
veyancs will be approved by the
secretary OF the interior until he
has been fully satisfied that the
Indian heir has received a fair
market price for his holdings.
