WANTS TROUBLE SETTLED

Guthrie, o. T., June z6.-Wade Stroud.
a deserter from the United States army,
who enlisted In Wichita two years ago,
came to the Guthrie recruiting station yes
terday and gave himself up to the army
officers here. He stated that he had been
bothered so much since his desertion that
he desired to have the trouble over with.
When questioned yesterday, Wade said:
Il enlisted at Wichita, and at the time
I deserted was stationed at Fort Casewell,
North Carolina. I had only been in the
service a month; had never shouldered a
gun or been on any kind of duty 1 just
didn't like IT, Since then 1 have been
all over the country. 1 tried to give my
self UP once at Springfield, Mo-, and once
at Denlson. Texas. but they said they
didn't want me. 1 got drunk last fall at
Denison. but they said they were not
looking for me. I have been working in
a harvest field out north of town for
some time past, but came in today and
gave myself up"
When asked if he would have given
himself in charge of the officers, had he
been sober, he said: mo, don't think
1 would"
stated that he had a mother living in
southern Missouri. The deserter insisted
that he had repented of his act ever since

DETAILS OF THE STORM.
Much Wheat Was Destroyed by Hail
Near Medford.

Medford Q. T, June 26-As details of
Sunday evenings storm come in II proves
to have been more severe than at first
anticipated. over seventy claims for hail
losses have been filed with the St. Paul
people. ranging from Is 20 . per cent.
One good thing is that the farmers who
lost the most were nearly ali insured. The
wheat suffered as much from the hard
wind which accompanied the storm as it
did from hail IN many places. Many
small outbuildings and few barns not
very substantially built were also blown
over west Of Medford. as the storm was

District Attorney Is Reluctant to Be-
IieVe the Story,

DiStTlCt Attorney is reluctant 10 De-
IieVe the Story.
South McAlester, 1. T., June 26.-Franlk
Jones. a negro under sentence of death
for the murder of Peter Ivy, an aged
butcher who was robbed and killed, and
then burned in his shop here several
months ago, made an alleged confession
today, generating John Fisher. another
negro convicted by jury and sentenced
to life for the same offense. Jones says
that he had two accomplices. both of
whom were witnesses against Fisher in
his trial, and neither of whom is now
under arrest.
The district attorney is reluctant to be-
lieve that there could have been such a
remarkable miscarriage of justice though
there are some features of the strange
story told by Jones which remove other
wise obscure things connected with the
crime. Jones has wanted to make the
confession ever since the conviction Of
Fisher and sent message to that effect
TO the officials The officers will make a
full investigation of the story though
they are now inclined to believe that
Jones is trying to work revenge on the
men who gave the first information lead
ing to his arrest.
