ner and whispered with the chief of
police and the sheriff, and occasion
ally he could be seen interrogating
some person who appeared to have
story to tell which might throw
light upon the tragedy.
When the coroner was ready to
take up the examination the crowd
repaired to the apartment where the
body had been deposited. There were
two parlors, which, by means Of slid
ing doors could be merged into one
room almost large enough to accom-
modate those present. Those who
could not get in stood in the halls and
managed to hear the testimony.
None of the deceased's family was
present except the young man who
had given the police the information
about the murder. Under police sur
veilance he wandered up and down
the hall pale and unhappy, apparent

turned toward him, and frequently
eyes that had another light than of
curiosity in them, but he seemed
oblivious to it all, although being
under arrest he knew that suspicion

His mother and sister were said to
be very much unnerved by the trag.

When the jurors had taken their

an examination of the body by the
coroner revealed the fact that Wright
had been shot in the back of the
head, and at close quarters, too, as

ON the hair. And the inference was
unavoidable that the murderer had
been walking behind his victim, ant
that the latter did not expect the at.

aware who it was that walked thus
behind him, for the squareness with
which the blows had been dealt
showed that he had not turned his
head in suspicion or curiosity.

CHAPTER V.

The Wright place was one of the
oldest homesteads in the country, but
neither time nor war had dismantled
it of its .old-time grandeur. The
sharper tints of the dwelling had
been toned down, and there was left
the soft reposefulness and aristocrat-
ic old age. Good care had been taken
of it by the Wrights, who had kept
it in thorough repair and enhanced
avenue, sentinelled by trees, leading
to the house, was scrupulously gray
elled, the trees were trimmed with
care, and the lawn in summer was
as smooth and soft to the eye as
green silk.
The house itself was an example
of the magnificent in structure. 1t
had long piazza, spacious halls and
big rooms. Seen in summer, enyi-
roned by the green foliage, it was
very cheerful and inviting, but in win
ter it's outward semblance was one
of gloom and melancholy. One could
easily imagine that it was hiding
some unpleasant secret behind it's
massive walls. On Irving Warde this
impression was deepened on the cold,
cherries morning of the inquest
when, in company with his friend,
the chief of police, he drove up the
carriage way. The murly sky seemed
somehow to have become entangled
in the uncanny arms of the black
trees, and the grayness of the earth
added to the cheerlessness.
An unusual commotion reigned
about the place. The negro servants
were in a furry of excitement and the
neighbors were arriving in twos and
threes, ostensibly sad, but devoured
by curiosity. Each one present had
his own theory of the murder, and
a great many gratuitous suspicious
were banded about in the crowd
Warde was content to use his ears
and eyes while he waited develop
ments. Perhaps among those pres
ent stalked the bold perpetrator Of
the crime. This thought made hin
silent and watchful, and he soon be
came absorbed i'll the contemplation
of some of those who had arrived.

marked interest in the inquest, fol

that we have made out pretty fair

Warde himself was next called upon
to testify. He told all about his in
vestigatSon of the footprints in the
snow, but his testimony was received
with a smile, and it was evident that
the auditors looked upon his dis
coveries as of no Importance, and con-
sidered him harmless young man
who labored under the impression
that he was cleverer than other peo-
pie. Even Col. Franklin did not APP

INDIAN STATEHOOD.
Choctaws to Vote for or Against
Statehood for Indian Territory
on Dec. 19.

South McAlester, 1. T., Nov. 20.
The first effort Of the of the In
dian toward statehood for this
country will be a general election
to vote on the proposition of hold
ing a constitutional convention.
The official call was just issued
BY Chief Green McCurtain to the
voters of the choctaw tribe. 1t
means that the Indian leaders favor
a separate State for Indian Terri
tory, and will submit the question.
Each of the FIVE tribes will hold
elections, and if the idea be sup
ported by the returns, then the In
dian campaign for statehood will
begin in earnest. The proclama-
ton Just issued is as follows:
Whereas, The General Council
of the Choctaw Nation in regular
session assembled adopted a resolu-
authorizing the Chief of the Choc-
taw Nation to issue a proclamation
calling a special election on Decem-
Der ro, 1908, for the purpose Of sub
mitting to the people the question
as to whether or not an Interna-
tional Constitutional convention
shall be held for the purpose Of
erecting a State out of what is
known as Indian Territory, and
now, therefore, 1, Green McCur-
tain, principal Chief Of the Choc-
taw Nation, by virtue of the auth
ority in me vested by the General.
Council Of the Choctaw Nation, do
hereby call an election to be held
on the 10TH day Of December, 1908
for the purpose above set forth. In
witness whereof l have hereunto
set my hand and caused the great
seal of the Choctaw Nation to be
affixed, at Kinta. I, T., this 18TH
day Of Nov. 1908.

national relations any more than i

These were our national ideals,
But i'll the halcyon days when we
are exulting in the proud pre-eni-
nence that is coming to us as q
world power it has seemed fit to
the powers that be that we should
discard these high principles of ma

mocracy with a code Of national mo-

pies Of right and justice We have
waxed strong and can throw away

whatever we may have to sacrifice
Of our time -honored traditions OF
/ our treasured ideals.
Columbia, poor, miserable little
South American republic, not much
stronger than we were in our in
fancy, has a strip Of territory
which we need for a big ditch. She
will part with it, but she must take
her time for it-she wants to make
good bargain with US. Her cit
liens have a deluded notion that
they have a right to 90 what they
will with their own, little thinking
that a world power" has rights
superior to theirs.
Columbia exhausts the patience
of the world power. A gang Of Pre-
moters foment a rebellion i'll one Of
the component states Of her union
and presto, the world power finds a
deiacto government in Panama.
Columbia is weak and can't help
herself; we are strong and who can
hinder us7
In recognizing the Panama gov
ernment, we must recognize the
right Of secession which we poured
out millions Of treasure ana the
blood Of thousands Of countrymen
to destroy; but never mind, that
the past before we became a world
power. Our legal doctors can east
ly prove that the two cases are
not parallel. We wrap ourselves in
our mantle of self-righteous and
pride as a world power and march
bravely on
We we're mistaken in our former
ideals; they were small and UNI
worthy Of great nation-our re-

it, and it is So But plain citizens,
to whom the traditions of a century
of consistent and honorable nation

doned if they stop a moment to
ponder whether our gain equals our
loss.
