new CASE ONE
OF INTEREST
United States Supreme Court
Will Hear 1t.
IS SERVING LIFE SENTENCE
Killed His Brother-in-LaW in
Washita County.

Guthrie, o. T.. Aug. 2s.-The John T.
New murder case will be appealed to
the United States supreme court from
the supreme court of the territory in
an effort to secure a reversal of the
lower courts holdings and the ultimate
release of New from the Kansas peni-
tertiary at Lansing. The New case is
one of the sensational murder cases OF
southwestern Oklahoma. New is now
serving a life sentence for the murder
of ms brother-fn-law, II. F. Doyle in
Wsshita county on April 13, 1901.
AT the October term Of the Washita
county court in 1901, Ne wwas tried be-
fore Associate Justice Irwin for murder.
1t developed at the trial that there had
been bad blood between Ne wand Doyle
for some time. Witnesses stated that
DOYLE had threatened to XIII New if he
did not leave the country. New was Ill
for some time and claimed that Doyle
continually interfered with his business
After New was well enough to be out.
one day he was near the highway when
DOYLE and a neighbor came riding toward
him in a wagon. New claimed that
Doyle reached inside of his shirt for
gun New had a Winchester with him
and stated that as soon as Doyle reach
ed for his gun he opened fire on him.
Doyle was shot and jumped from the
wagon New continued firing, shooting
one of the horses. causing the team 10
run away. The neighbor who was with
Doyle ran from the shooting. New con-
tinued to shoot at Doyle and the wound
ed man took reuge in the house of a
neighber hiding behind door. New en-
tered the house with his Winchester and
despite the protests of the family shot
Doyle again.
When Doyle body was being prepared
for burial it was discovered that he had
pinned a revolver to his shirt. At no
time during the fight with New was he
able to use this revolver The case raised
bitter feeling in Washita county and
after New was sentenced TO hard labor.
an appeal was taken from Washita coun-
ty district court T. the Oklahoma supreme
court Applicant. was made for par
don to Governor Ferguson and the gov
errors Office was flooded with petitions
and protests both sides working hard;
one to secure a pardon and one to pre-
vent the issuance OF any document that
might benefit New. Many of the papers
have been returned to News attorneys
in orda rthat an appeal might be per-
fected to the United States supreme court.
New and Doyle both came from Gin
ton county, Texas, and had not resided
in Washita county very long. They had
taken claims in that county and New
alleged that he had left Texas to get
away from his brother-in-law who had
continually hsrassed him.

CHAIRS AND six-sHooTERs.
They Played Role in Little Mis-,

Granite O. r, Aug. 29.-The Enterprise
says that one of those unfortunate affairs
leading to uncomfortable mix-ups which

south IS not ashamed OF its record. Now,
for goodness sake. who said il was? II
Is conceded by everybody that the south
ern soldiers were as brave as the bravest.
and fought for principles they believed
to be right. and that the south has
brought forth great men as soldiers,
statesmen. jurists-just as great as the
north-so what is The use OF fighting
shadows or making invidious compare
sons, an attempt 70 keep up sectional
feeling7
It is also conceded by all that when the
war ended and the southern soldier re-
turned to his home he found his country
in a demoralized condition. and that he
is worthy OF all honor and credit FOR
bringing It out os that denoralized con-
dition and up 10 its present splendid con-
diton. But the speaker who expects SYM
PATTY from a western audience because
he. IS 4 boy OF II. had 10 hold plow
and harness a horse and black rs own
shoes, IS looking for II in the wrons
place. Many a western boy OF 10 and l.
has had 10 DO the same thing and thought
nothing of it.
However. all the speakers who took
this view were young men. would-be poll
ticians who make war principally with
their mouths. and criticism is probably
redundant-but the Transcript is utterly
opposed to this idea OF keeping up Sec
tional feeling. and fully in accord with
the utterances Of Senator Gore and Gov
ernor Ferguson that there is and should
be no north. no south, nor east nor west
but one glorious. grand. united country
The men OF the north and the south. ane

and brainy. and no one part Of the eoun'

AS TO WHEAT SEEDING.
One and a Half Bushels per Acre the
Rule

Saltwater, O. T. Aug. 29,-Unless some
unusual condition exists. the oklahoma
experiment station seeds wheat at the
rate of one and one-half bushels per acre.
Covesing a period of several years at
this station different amounts varying
from three to eight pecks Per acre were
seeded on different plats to furnish data
for this question. The average of these
results shows a few bushels in favor OF
the five and six peck rate. but there
were cases whcre there was practically
no difference in Weld from the ligh.est
TO the heaviest seeding On the other
hand there were tines when such IN
usual rates IS three pe7ks and eight pecks
save much poarer results than 4 medium
amount. Similar experiments have been
carried on BY many OF the stations over
the United states and The results asree
very closely with stose given above and

Manchester, o. T, Aug. sc. Lynch
reports the loss Of five more head of
cattle since a week ago last Monday, the
last one OF which died last Saturday, says

Of buffalo walows in his pasture and

lots The manure settled and after each

dried up. and he has now become fully
