FORGERY THE CHARGE.
William z. Edwards Made Bad Rec
ord IN Oklahoma.

Shawnee, O. T, Dec. 3.-Among the in
dictrnents found by the recent grand jury
was enc against William z. Edwards,
charging him with forgery. Edwards
came to this county during the spring of
this year and represented himself to be
an attorney at law and succeeded in get
ting many people to believe him. He
possessed some knowledge Of the law and
had prepossessing appearance. He de-
Tended Sydney Foyie. charged with muir
der and John, Henderson. charged with
perjury, the former being convicted OF
manslaughter in the first degree and get
ting a sentence Of twenty years, and the
lateer being advised by Edwards TO plead
guilty after the prosecution had intro
duced their evidence. who also represent
cd TO Henderson that if he would plead
guilty he would get a term of five years,
when the law is ten years no less, which
was given by the court. The failure of
Edwards to get acquittal in either of the
cases tried prevented his getting any
more clients at that term Of court, and the
next time Edwards appeared in the dis
trict court was as attorney for the de-
fendant in criminal action which was
being heard before Judge Burwel an ha-
beas corpus proceedings at which time a

HARVEY MAY REMAIN.
Reprimand May Be the Only Punish
ment in His Case.

Guthrie, o. t, Dec 3-N Washington
dispatch says final decision in the case
of Geogre l. Harvey, the Indian agent at
Pawnee, Yves expected at the interior de-
partment today. but it was not forthcom-
ing. The impression given out after a
majority of the Kansas delegation in con-
gress interested themselves in the case,
that Harvey would be permitted to resign
has been again modified to the extent
that it seems to be generally understood
now that Harvey viii be allowed to re-
main in his position and suffer only rep
rimand from his superiors.
While this may be the case, it is thought
that Harvey eventually will have to 60
He may remain in the government service
for another quarter, but it is believed that
later his resignation viii be acceptable.
But for the interposition of the Kansas
delegation at a time when the case was
hanging in the balance his resignation
would probably now be in the hands of
the secretary of the interior.

SCHOOL LOSES, JAIL WINS.
That Is the Apparent Result of Kay
County Election.

Blackwell, O. T., Dec 3.-The special
election held Tuesday to vote on the prop
osition of a new Jail at Newkirk and a
county high school at Braman resulted in
a total vote of 2.5f7 upon each proposition,
although at this time there are the first
ward OF Ponca City and Kildare township
to be heard from on the high school prop
osition, and these two precincts will in
crease the majority against the high
school proposition, says the News.
Tie face of the returns show that the
high school proposition has been defeated
by majority of 1895 and this majority
will be increased by the returns from the
first ward Of Ponca City and from kildare
township.
On the face of the returns the jail prop
osition carried by n majority of 49, al
though the official count may wipe this
out completely. In fact one precinct that
gave the Jail majority of about 200 =
liable to be thrown out on account OF
fraud and illegal voting.
1t was the town vote that carried the
Jail proposition, every town in the county.

ATTEMPT Al SUICIDE.
Late City Marshal cf Medford viii
Probably Die

Medford o. T., Dec. 3.-Gus RCthfuss,
late city marshal and street commits o n
er. and at present engineer at the water
works. made what will probably be a
successful attempt at suicide one mile
south of here at o'clock Sunday.
Just previous to the attempt he went
to the residence of p. a. Falkenburg,
and bade goodbye to all. remarlling that
,Ile was going north. Leaving the home
he went out TO the road and following it
a short distance was seen to step into
a vacant house. He was followed by
sons of Mr.. Fall1enburg, who found him
lying in n pool of blood, he having in
the short time out of sight fired A.
calibre ban through his body directly
above the heart.
He had been acting strangely for a
number of days, and it is now thought
that he was insane.
1t would seem that the suicide mania
runs in the Rothfuss family. as his father
killed himself near here a few years
ago.
Gus Rothfuss was E5 years old and
unmarried. At the time of the shooting
he was residing with a brother short
distance from here on a school quarter.

INTEREST OF NEiGHBORS.
They Think They Have Been Wronged
by the Board.

Guthrie. o. T., Dec. 3.-William Rogers,
one of the big cattlemen of Custer coun-
ty, is in this city from Thomas on bus
mess before the board Of equalization
for school lands. Mr.. Rogers has leases
on school lands, but has no complaint,
personally, to make of the recent raise
in rentals. but is here in the interests of
several Of his neighbors. VINO think they
have been wronged by the Increased rent
ais they are called upon to pay.
THE cattle industry is not profitable in
Oklahoma this year" said Mr. Rogers.
Stock in western Oklahoma is III fine
condition and there is an abundance Of
feed, but there is no cattle moving TO
market to speak of. as the p resent low
prices mean a loss on every car sent to
the packers. l do not remember when
prices for cattle were so low as at pres
ent, and this condition is caused not so
much by an over-production as to the
difficulty in shipping and complying TO
the quarantine laws adopted by the fed
eral government.

DEAD man SIDE
OF The TRACK
Indications Point to Death from
Being Run Over.
IDENTITY Is ESTABLISHED
Coroner's Jury Is Empaneled
and Evidence Sought
IDENTITY is ESTABLISHED

Enid o. T, Dec. 3.-Tuesday afternoon
% about . O'Clock a freight train on the
main line Of the Rock Island going north
passed a farmer working in field within
hailing distance. A brakeman yelled 10
him that there was a dead man along
side of the track below. pointing south
The farmer Immediately left his team and
walked down the track a short distance,
where he came upon the body of a man
lying upon the west side of the track
Both legs of the deceased had been cut
off and the body otherwise showed that
it had been under the crushing wheels
of a railway train.
The body was found about two and
half miles north OF Wsukomis. The
farmer went on to Waukomis and phoDed
TO Sheriff Kershaw the circumstances
The sheriff in company with w. II. Ryan,
the manager of the Peniman undertaking
establishment, Immediately departed for
the place where the corpse was found.
In the mean time, however, a justice Of
the peace at Wau6omis, hearing of the
death, empaneled a coroner'S jury which
went 10 where the body was lying and af-
ter viewing the same removed it to
waukomis and were in the midst of a
coroners jury trial when the sheriff APP
peared. The sheriff endorsed the proceed
ings, allowing the jury empaneled to COM
plete the case, bit ordered the body turn
ed over to the county undertaken, Mr.
Peniman of this city, and the body was
brought to this city last evening.
Just how the deceased met his death in
connection with the railroad will proba-
bly, never be known, says the Wave, but
the circumstances surrounding the posi-
tion Of the body when found indicate that
he either attempted TO board a train or
fell off from the same.
The identity of the unfortunate man is
well established as far as his name Is
concerned but outside of that there is no
clue as to his home or people.
The sheriff found S5.65 on the person of
the dead man. but there were no papers
about his clothes that would lead to his
identity. On his shirt was found the
name of l.. c. Faumaine; on one of his
arms a tattoo was found being appar-
entity the initials of his name, l.. c. F.,
hence the name on the shirt compared
with the initials on the arm, leaving
little doubt concerning the name of the
deceased.
The hat the man wore was bought OF
Adams s, Trecham of Sapulpa. /. T.. and
said firm has been wired as to their
knowledge Of the dead man.
The victim Of the accident was about
& years old, feet inches tail, fairly well
dressed and his clothes were clean. 1t
was quite evident that the man was not
