M MURDER IN
SALOON AT
OKLAHOMA
Proprietor of the Turf tx
change Shoots a Man
WAS 1T IN SELF DEFENSE?
That Is the Only Doubtful
Point in the Case
WAS 1T IN SELF DEFENSE?

Oklahoma City, o. T., July The
Fourth of July did not end in Okla
homa City without a murder At IL
o'clock Joe, better known as kid Ban
mister, was shot and killed by Tom Cook,
the proprietor of the Turf Exchange sa-
loon. Bannister was coming down the
front stairway from the gambling room
above the saloon to North Broadway,
when Cook stepped into the hall from the
saloon and there shot the gambler fun in
the breast. Cook then walked back
through the saloon and up the alley to
/ the county Jail, where he surrendered.
But one shot was fired. The bullet
was a 3S-calibre, and entered the breast
between the first and second ribs. to
the left of the sternum, and ranged up
yard, lodging under the right shoulder
blade. The main artery leading to the
head was severad and the man soon bied
to death.
The body lay on the steps for several
moments before W. c. Price and another
man saw it and notified the police Off
GERS Ashburn and Let's responded to the
call When they arrived the body had
been carried to the bottom of the stairs
The man died almost instantly after Ash
burns arrival.
Coroner Messenbaugh had the body car
ried to the police station, where an ex-
animation was made. The head and face
were covered with blood, which had come
from the mouth, and the mans clothes
We're drenched from the wound in the
breast.
There was but one wound on the body.
After the examination the body was re-
moved to the niorgue of the Standard
Furniture company.
W. c. Price, who first reached the body,
found a SS-calibre revolver lying under
the head One chamber was entirely
empty and another contained an empty
shell, but it had not been fired for some
time. Bannister wore no revolver scab-
bard, and the coroner expressed the opin-
ion that the gun was of such size that
it could hardly have been carried in the
pockets of a mans summer clothing. A
number of the dead mans friends said the
kid" was not in the habit of carrying
a revolver.
There has been q long standing feud
between Bannister and Cook. About six
months ago Frank Kenyon, Cook broth
er-in-law was arrested for beating Ban
mister over the head with a gun.
There is no question as to who killed
Bannister. II is merely a question of
whether the act was done in self-defense.
The police say a man can easily carry
a gun without the use of a scabbard, and
that gamblers usually carry their guns
in that manner. If the gun found under
Bannisters head was his, he had it out
when shot Bannisters friends. how
ever, claim that the Kid had no gun,
and that the one found under his head
had been placed there by some con-
federate of Cook, to give the impression
that the dead man was armed.

MURDERER CAUGHT.
Negro Accused of Killing the Deputy
Marshal.

Guthrie, o. T., July THE United
States marshars Office in this city has
received information stating that the
murderer of Deputy United States Mar
shaI J. p. Jones. who was killed in the
Usage nation last Friday night, has been
apprehended. The murderer is a negro,
but the officials here were unable to Sc
cure his right name.
Deputy Jones met his death at an In
dian dance between Bartlesville and Paw
huska. The negro attended the dance
and was selling liquor to Indians. When
Jones attempted to arrest the negro he
resisted and shot the officer. So intense
was the feeling that it was necessary to
take the negro to Pawnee to prevent his
being lynched. He viii be brought here
tomorrow morning and placed in the fed
eral Jail.
Deputy Jones has been one Of the most
efficient officers of the United States mar
shals force in the Usage nation. He
came TO Guthrie frequently bringing men
TO the federal Jail. 1t was only a few
days ago that he was in Guthrie and
stated then that all officers in the ma
ton had been working hard TO apprehend
the men who did the hold-up work in the
Usage nation near Pawhuska two weeks

HE IMAGINED THINGS.
Thought Mob Was After Him and
He Ran.

Grand. O. T., July The sudden dis
appearance of Superintendent Bouldin
from Grand last week caused much alarm
says the Day County Progen. Some
feared he had met a violent death. as
MUCH of his important official business
was left unfinished and his team Uncared
for at Sheriffs Smiths barn. His desk
that he had always beSn so careful to
close upon his leaving was left open. He
was known to be in poor health at the
time of his sudden absence which led peo-
pie to believe he had wandered away, and
they feared his untimely end. Later de-
veIopments gave our people much relief.
Mr. Bouldin walked a good portion of the.
way home, secured a horse at Mr.. Young's
and finished the trip safely. He imagined
a mob was after him when he left which
accounts for his sudden departure. We
understand that he is feeling better now
and it is hoped that he will speedily re-
cover his health.

BOND BUYERS COMPLAIN.
Cash for Interest Should be Sent to
Fiscal Agency.

Pond Creek, o. T.. July The Vidette
asserts that bond buyers have complained
to Governor Ferguson that the sale of
bonds in eastern markets has been in
jured by the arbitrary refusal of county
treasurers to transmit TO New York fiscal
agencies money for the payment of bonds
and coupon interest the tTeasurers de-
mand that the payments should be made
in Oklahoma. In a letter 10 Governor
Ferguson Wednesday Attorney General
Roberts said that the treasurers were
not only violating the law, but could
be compelled to transmit required funds
to New York fiscal agencies.

Shot

Snyder. o. T., July After supper yes
terday evening Bill Brown walked up TO
Frank St Clair, who was sitting on a
bench in front of his home, and struck
him over the head with heavy six-shoot-
er. The blow cut through ST. Clair's hat.
leaving a piece of it in the hole which
was cut in his scalp. He walked down

said Brown had shot him first and then
struck him over the head with the gun.

DIFFICULT PROBLEM.
Good Roads in the Cherokee Nation is
the Point to Settle.

Guthrie, o. T, July The people of
the Cherokee nation who have taken their
allotments are having trouble over the
new roads which are being formed under
orders from the Indian agent. The al
lottees are required to place their fences
on the lines along the section lines, and
this causes the old roads to be closed up.
There is no provision for the working of
these roads. and many of them are not
in a passable condition and cannot be
used until a large amount of money is
expended. There is no road or poll tax
in the country, and the roblem is a
difficult one for Cherokee citizens to
