NOTED CONSPIRACY
CASE IS REVIVED
Great Britain Wants InfOr-
nation Concerning
David S. Brown

Governor Ferguson is in receipt Of a
letter from his majesty's consul. writ I
ten at the British consulate at Chica-
go. asking for the details in the case
Of David S. Brown of Kingfsher ooun-
ty. who al one time. occupied a quar-
ter of land in that county as a home
steader, afterwards claimed that he
was forced to give up his homestead
by party Of armed men, who burned
his house and property
The Brown case is one that is well
remembered by the old timers in King
fisher county. It has been the cause
of many men appearing in court. hav-
ing been indicted for conspiracy and
similar crimes. The complaints in
every instance were filed by Brown
David s. Brown came to this country
from Canada He was never natural
lied, but had declared his intention of
becoming citizen Of the United
States. After having made this dec
laration he filed on a piece of land in
the Kingfsher land office district and
then erected a house upon the quarter
section. One light according to
Brown, thirty-fiye masked men appear
ed before his house commanded him
TO come out and aver the family had
been removed from the house. set fire
to it and completely destroyed hic
property It was stated at the time
that Browns place was a rendezvous
for hardened characters and that the
Kinghsher county men would not long
er permit such an alleged harbor 81
criminals to be maintained in that
county. Brown filed complaint with
United States officers who caused the
arrest Of numerous citizens now prom
inent residents of Oklahoma. The
case was up from time to time, and
several intricate law questions had to
be settled in these cases, owing to
the fact that Brown was not citizen
of the United States, but had merely
declared his intention to become cit
izen One OF the attorneys brought up
an argument that no person could in
terfere with citizen in the exercise
of his rights and that, since Brown
was not a citizen of the United States
he was preventing a citizen from ex-
ercising his rights, should he desire
to file on the land.
The last case connected with the
Brown family was tried before Chief
Justice John H. Burford and that de-
cision evidently settled the cases as
far as Brown is concerned. No one
was held by the court. and the last
trial was almost forgotten. being re
vived by the receipt of a letter from
his majesty's consul.
It seems that Brown had written to
the consul stating that he and his wife
were old and in Strengthened circ I'm
stances that they had been defrauded,
thus losing their claim in the Chey-
.enne and Arapahoe country which was
taken in 1895. 1t was for the purnose
of securing the facts in this case that
the consul wrote to the governor.
The governor, in turn referred the
letter to Attorney General Roberts
who acted in the case az different
times as one of the attorneys. At
torney General Roberts has prepared
a long statement and will transmit i
to the Chicago consulate.
