A TRAGEDY At WINFIELD.
Crazy Man Shoots Into Band Stand
And The Crowd,
FOUR DEAD AND THREE DYING.

Winfield, Kans., Aug, Is. - While
Caman's band was playing its weekly
concert on the main street of the to"n
to an audience of 5000 people, Gilbert
Twigg, u crazy man, 30 years of age,
opened fire on the crowd with Il double
barrel shotgun loaded with double
ought bullets. AS II result four people
are now dead, three are dying and no
less than twenty are injured, perhaps
five or six fatally.
The band had just finished playing II
waltz, when Twigg stepped out from
an alley half blocl, distant and, de-
liberately taking aim at the bandstand,
fred two shots. r. +. Oliver, the
bandmaster, fell at the first shot, but
the crowd, not realizing what had
happened, rushed toward the murder
er, believing that there had been an
accden tai shooting of some kind.
As the crowd closed in the crazed
man discharged two more shots at
them. With the crowd fleeing, the
man stood in demoniacal attitude,
firing at random in every direction.
Men and women shrielied and ran, and
Officer Nichols confronted Twigg and
fired bullet into his head Before he
expired Twigg drew revolver and
fired a shot into his own body, causing
death.
The dead and dying were by this
time scattered all over the street, and
the heightened people, believing that
the shooting was coming from every
quarter, it was a half hour before
they realize'. what had happened and
recovered sufficiently to take care OF
the in iurcd.

SAYS HALE HAS NOT Been told

( Indians are compelled to travel hum
dreds of miles to secure their allot-
nents and then are compelled to wait
many weeks for action. He says that
at the rate of daily fling it will take
thirty years to complete the alloting.
Brosius says that the tribal develop
ment company of Tishomingo, |. r.,
was authorized March %, with capt.
tai stock of 500, 900 and had So, 200
paid in. Guy p. Cobb, who was then
internal revenue inspector for the ter
ritory, is the largest stakeholder.
Again." Brosius says, "P. Soper is
large stakeholder and vice president
of the company"
Governor Mosely, of the Chichasha
nation, is also IA stociholder The
Musltogee Title and Trust Company,
which does business in lands, was
organized in February of this year.
Tams Bixby, chairman of the Dawes
commission, was stakeholder and vice
president of the concern. j. G. Wright,
inspector in absolute charge in the
Indian Territory, is one of its direc,
tors.
Brosus claims that Tams Bixby has
acquired real estate while holding his
official position as president of the
commission, allothng lands to the
Indians at Fort Gibson, Tahlequah,
Tishomingo and Sulphur Springs
Brosius also says: There are ru-
mors ahoat to the effect that federal
officers in Indian Territory are fnan-
cially interested in other transactions
that would seem to preclude them from
retaining their positions under the
Indian department
Agent Brosius reports that he has
not been able to get at half the rotten
ness and the air is full of rumors of
corruption and scandals.

save their man from needless punish
ment The end came shortly after the
beginning of the tenth round, when
,Jcffries planted one of his left swings
on Corbett's stomach. Corbett dropped
to the floor in agony. However, Cor
bctt struggled to his feet and again
faced his adversary. With hardly a
moments hesitation Jeffrics swung his
right and again landed on Corbetts

Agent Brosius' Report Accuses
About all Federal officers in
Indian Territory.
GIVES NAMES AND POSITIONS
fas Not Been Able to Get at Half The
Rottenness Air Full of Rumors

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE charges
OF wholesale corruption in Indian Ter
ritory and the connection of officials of
the interior department and the dc.
partment of justice with questionable
operation there are fully borne out in
a report made by $. NJ. Brosius, special
representative of Indian Rights Asso-
citation, who WAS sent to the territory
u short time ago for the purpose of
making a complete investigation into
the alleged scandals. The report in
wolves the names of the majority of the
Dawes commission as well that of
Pliny Soper, United States district
attorney for the Northern district, and
sheds glaring light upon the eondi
tions under which individuals and or
ganizcd banks and trust companies
have been robbing the Indians of their
.allotments
Brosius says that lands are secured
from the Indians at from so to rs cents
an acre and are Immediately sublet by
SHARKS and trust companies specially
organized for that purpose at from 500
TO $3.50. The extent of the operations
may be inferred from the fact that one
reservation embraces 3 ,0OO,O0O acres, of
(which the trust companies have Sc
cured the control. The Dawes com
mission is severely criticised and the
agent shows that by its methods the
