Washington, Nov. 1.-Solomon Ho-
tena, preacher, lawyer, judge,
wealthy, a full-blooded Choctaw In
dian, and the slayer of two women
and one man, whom he believed to
be witches, had his sentence of death
committed to life imprisonment by
President Roosevelt. Hotena lost sew
eral children by death in quick sue
cession two years ago. He conceived
the idea that certain persons among
his people were witches and had cast
q spell Owe his family. He went to
the house of Vinita Coleman, a dis
tant relative, and shot her dead. At
the same time he wounded a small
child and seriously injured a 15-year-
old boy. Then he rode to the hut
of a man whom he believed to be a
witch and killed him. He went on
until he found another woman, the
third person with the evil influence,
whom he shot dead. In justification
of his offense, Hotena pleaded the
example of the Puritan fathers in
burning witches at the stake, but he
was sentenced to be hanged.

An Important Decision Made by the Iowa
Supreme Court in Regard to Original
Packages by Express.

Des Moines, Ia, Nov. 1.-The Iowa
supreme court has reversed two trial
courts in Iowa on the question of the
c. o. ID. liquor sales by express com
panies. In both instances the express
companies had liquors which they
were transferring to purchasers in
exchange for c. o. d. payments. Seiz-
ures were made and the cases tried
in the district court, where the ex-
press company won. Both cases were
appealed and both are now reversed.
The holding of the court prevents
express companies from handling
liquor c. o. ID. and makes such goods
contraband and liable to seizure if
found in the possession of the com
panies. The court holds that the priv
ilege of original packages or OF the
freedom of interstate does
not apply to a business of this char
acter.
