WAS YOUNG
STEVENS MARRIED?
Question Involving Large
Money Sought to Be
UnraveIed

T. c. Churchill. a prominent lawyer
and capitalist of Niles, Mich. has ar
rived in the city and is endeaycring to
unravel a problem that will result in
the gift Of millions Of dollars to the
heir of Banker Stevens Of Niles The
case is an interesting one because the
search for the heir Is the sequel Of the
first Killing in Guthrie. that of Frank
Stevens who was shot to death by
Captain L N Townley. now resident
of Kansas City. The mystery is
whether or not young Stevens was
ever married. and the effort which
Mr.. Churchill is making will no doubt
end that part of the mystery.
The killing of Stevens is still fresh
in the minds of the Oklahomans who
settled in the capital city in 1889. AT
the time OF the opening Stevens and
Townley filed upon the same lots in
this city. Trouble soon arose between
the two parties and one day in the
early part OF June, Stevens walked in
to the store kept by Townley, heavily
armed and with the intention of kill
ing the latter Stevens reached for
his revolver and attempted to cock =
but It failed to work. In the mean
time Townley had drawn his pistol
and shot stevens the bullet entering
the stomach of his victim. Stevens
died almost instantly. rownley was

ley was ably defended by Judge Frank
Dale of this city. 1t wes finally decld-
ed that Townley acted in self defense
and the cause was dismissed. It is the
mission of those trying to find the
rightful heir to the elder Stevens

locate them. Judge Dale believes the

 Douglas, May S-The game of base ball played Thursday between teams from the Later Day Saints choir and a pieked-up nine from this city, resulted in victory for Douglas to the tune of 22 to 8. The score indicates that an uninteresting game was played, but while loose playing on the part of the visitors characterized the melee, at times the playing was of the gilt-edge order. thereby holding the crowd to the end. Seven innings were played. Wormel. who pitched fer the home team, simply handed out the goods to a crisp when he desired Taylor, at the receiving end of the Douglas team, gathered in the leather without an error. His throwing was a trifie shady. however. but so was nearly every ones. In view of the fact that Douglas has not been able to pull a team together for regular practice, she showed up to remarkably good ad- vantage. Wormers control was won- derful, considering his lack of practice. Almgren at short took care of some sizzlers in the most approved style. With practice he will make a good man anywhere in the infield. Vern Lincoln covered the third sack in good shape. The youngster has good wing. and is fast on his feet.

Them Again in the Near Future.
 Especial to Review) Douglas, May S.-A musicale, rem dered by the members of the choir from the Latter Day Saints academy at Thatcher, drew a large audience to Library hall Thursday evening. The twenty voices united with pleasing harmony in varied selections, the Mar seilles being received with much ap- plause. Beside the choral selections, the musical program was interspersed with duet by Miss Laura Wilsey and Professor Frank Wightman, and coon songs by Miss Diana Robinson, whose dialect and plantation swing com pletely captivated her audience.
 Miss Katie Claridge. the child read CT, was easily the fayorite of the ap- preciative listeners, and her humorous recitations won her well merited en- cores.
 Mrs. Joseph Cuff established for heseIf a reputation as a reader of much force, and her perfectly natural rendition of selections was gratifying to see.
 President Andrew Kimball, of St Joseph's Stake of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, presided at the exercises. and during his speech found occasion to pay many compli- ments to the enterprise which has m ada Do,,uIa- ea Dro,,;na,+ o o ,,o,,,s community. He spoke of the object of his visit as intended to allay the prejudice so often felt toward the so- called Mormon church. In the course of his allu5ions to the academy at Thatcher, President Kimball referred to the advantages for athletic training open to the boys of the school, and hoped soon to demonstrate to our peo- pie the claim of the Gila valley to superiority in the field of sport, especially on the diamond. The choir of the Thatcher acad- emy," said President Kimball. will soon be, under the efficient leadership of Professor Wightman, the best, not only in Graham county, but in all Ari- zona and the great southwest as we'll" (Applause)
 President Kimball promised to re- turn to Douglas before the summer has passed, with a choir of sixty voices, and give Douglas rare musical treat.
 Delbert Kimball, son of President Kimball. offered the closing prayer. Words to express the praise due to President Kimball for his grand work in the educational field of his people are difficult to find To those who have never travelled among the Nor. mons, the entertainment was a pleas ing revelation. Professor Frank Wfghtman, a graduate from Ann AT. bor, Michigan, as leader of the choir, yielded his baton with the easy grace of the soulful master, and to him alone goes the credit for his grand achieve ment in training the voices of the academy students.
 The Review repre- -entative had the plea sure of meeting personally most of the choir and all the church officials who visited Douglas. Among those most prominent in Graham county were Bishop John Merrill and Mir Lay ton. both widely known in commercial and political affairs. The Mormons made the hit of the season, and The Review, with all Douglas. says, Come again"
