Mr.. MURRELL LOOKS OVER THE
GROUNDS AT ST. LOUIS.
Arranging For Virsinia's Display

George f. Murrell has returned from.
ST. Louis where he went tolook over the
situation relative to the exhibit Vir-
ginla will make at the Exposition
Mr. Murrcll, who j. the fret assistant
OF the Virginia Commissioners forthe Elk
position, was very much impressed with
the enormity of the scale on which the
show will be conducted.
MIR Murrell j. cow inced that Virginia
will get a fair chance to display her re-
sources and he found that the EXPOSE
ton authorities were disposed to give
the old State good positions 4 fine To-
cation has been assigned Virginia on
which to erect State building. But the
impression that the Exposition authori-
ties will have this done is a mistaken
one. MIR. Murrell says that the only wav
this can be done is by popular subscrip-
lions in the State, aided by the patriotic
persons in Missouri, who (they or their
ancestors) came from Virginia
The dedication of the Exposition
grounds will take place April 30, which
viii be the greatest military pageant
ever seen in the valley of the Mississippi
in time OF peace President Roosevelt is
TO attend and Former President Cleve-
land is to make the chief address.

down to question of veracity. In n

tate to say what he thinks. Some days
ago delegation OF TennesseeaDs, incIu-
ding Mr. Richardson and Representative
Gaines, rallied on the President and asked
him TO appoint w. =. Morgan, OF Tennes-
see, TO the I5thmian Canal Commission
Mr. Carmack declined to ask any favor
OF the President. and did not accompany
the delegation. He has not been in the
White House since the Booker Washing
ton dinner last fall.
Mr.. Roosevelt received the Tennis
seeans cordially, and said he would be
glad TO oblige them, and was ALWAYS
glad TO confer with TenDesseeaDs 'But :"
he added, showing his tee;!, ia charac-
teristic way there is one OF your col
leagues whom ! would see in h. Hades
before would do him a favor"
Messrs. Richardson and Gaines says he
hall pronounced the word HI and
then changed it to Hades They would
not tell Carnack what the President had
said; but il came to his ears later.
The President denied that he made the
remark, but upon being forced to 90 so.
Mr.. Richardson and Mr. Gaines aver
positively that he did use the exact Ian
guage quoted.
senator Carmeck SAYS: 81 do not
know or care whether the President re-
ferred TO me-" lie has iDsulted the STATE

Ed. Lockett Tells of the Doines of Bert
Casey.

Oklahoma City. Sept Ed Lockett,
who with Fred Hudson, killed Jim Sims
and Bert Casey last spring was in the
city last night enroute to Fort Smith.
Ark While here ne toll OF his experience
with the Casey gang as follows.
1T may seem, to persons who have
not had the experience, an easy matter
when with a man like Casey 10 catch
him off guard as some time and make
an easy capture" said Lockett, but
tell you il is the most idflicult matter
in the world. At night, for instance, you
would think it an easy matter to effect
a surprise.
AT night we would prepare our bed
and blanket and we would all have to
lie down before Casey would retire. Then
he would lie down 10 the right and
revolver convenient TO each hand. If
man made the slightest move in the
night. he was sure to be greeted with
a query from Casey. What's the mat
ter?'' or if one of the horses made any
noise or manifested any uneasiness Casef
would instantly Use up ana, pistol in
hand. was ready for any corners.
1T was our hope to capture Casey
and Sims alive but as the proposed rob
berry of the Fairview bank was at hand
for that evening We were Up against
it. When We covered and called hands,
up. they Immediately went Tor their
six-shooters, and We had TO XII them
or be shot down ourselves. I very much
regretted having to shoot Sims bur there
was no escaping it.
we got in with the outlaws by playing
tough ourselves and getting in at some
Of their holdups. OF course we finally
got in with them. our greatest fear
was that we might be rounded UP by
some sheriff's posse and ourselves killed
in the fight We knew would surely en-
sue
II was with Casey when he went into
the town of Cello one day ard had n
grain of sand removed from his eye by
a doctor
Casey had wonderful nerve and vas
extremely cautious and always on the
alert
He was not quite twenty-one years OF
age al the time Of his death His youth
appearance deceived many people who
believed the notorious OUTLAW TO be an
older man"
