OPINION IS
HANDED DOWN
Attorney General Simons Re-
plies to an Inquiry
AS TO SHIPMENT OF OIL
That Brought in for Private
Use Subject to Inspection
AS TO SHIPMENT OF OIL

Guthrie. o. T. March 2e-The following
opinion has been given by Attorney Gen
eral Simons in answer TO a query from
Oil Inspector F. A Ashton:
Hon F. a. Ashton. Territorial Oil In
spector, Guthrie. o. T.
Dear Sir-I have carefully considered
your letter Of March % in which you ask
for an Interpretation of section !, chap
Ter II, Session laws of 1893. in reference
to the shipment of oil for private use,
especially by railroad companies. and Ia
which you inquire if it is necessary for
such oil 10 be inspected.
Section l OF this act provides as fol-
lows:
That all oils and liquids. the product
of coal. petroleum or other bituminous
substances, or into which the product
Of petroleum enters, by whatever name
called. which may or can be used for IL
Illuminating. heating or power purposes,
manufactured in this territory, or brought
into it, shall be inspected by an author
lied inspector of this territory. before
the same are consumed used. sold or Of
fered to be sold or disposed of to mer-
chants. consumers or ether persons with
in this territory
Section OF The same act provides.
If any person in this territory shall
use. sell. or dispose of to merchants. con-
sumers or any other person or persons
within this territory any of the oils OF
fluids specified in section ! OF This act
without the same having first been in
spected by an authorized inspector of this
territory, and the barrels, casks. or pack
ages containing the same branded by
him as provided in this act. said per
son so offending shall be punished BY
fine, etc.
Section 10 of the same act provides:
No person who shall bring inIo this
territory any petroleum oil or product
thereof. as provided by section l of this
act shall empty the same out of the orig
inal packages in which it has been
brought into this territory until the same
has been inspected by an inspector of oils
or his deputy. Any person violating the
provisions of this section shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor. and upon con-
viction shall be fined. etc.
Under the provisions of this act above
quoted. l am Of the opinion that all oils
and liquids such as are defined in sectioA
Of the act in question when brought into
this territory for private use either Of
railroad companies or private persons,
must be inspected according TO the pro-
visions of this act, and that the use or
the same is Unauthorized until such in
spection has been had. The act even goes
so far as TO make it unlawful TO empty
such oil or liquid from the original pack
age in which it has been brought into the
territory until it has been inspected BY
the territorial officer II would seem thas
there IS no room for question on this
and that the legislature evi-
IDENTIFY intended to require all oils ana
liquids as defined in section l Of the act
referred 10 to be Inspected before being
used for any purpose whatever. Yours
truly, p. c. SIMONS,
ATTORNEY General"

Norman. o. T., March 2s.-At $50 this
evening B. l.. Webb. q prominent mer-
chant here shot and in all probability
killed L. c. Kendall, well known citi-

Kendall came into Mr.. Webbs store and
commenced talking to him about a bill
of goods and a dispute arose, whereupon
Mr. Webb drew a revolver and without a
word shot Mr.. Kendall through the alb
comen. II is not thought that Mr.. Ken
dali will live through the night and the
community is much stirred by this occur
renee. Mr.. webb has been sick for the
past two months and many say that he
has been queer for some time and that
he was not in his right mind when he
committed The deed.

HAD BEEN ROBBED.
Body Found in kingfisher Creek Has
Been Identified.

Enid, o. T, March 29.-On the morning
of February IS, the body of an unknown
man was found in the bed of Klngflsher
creek, near the city limits of Kingfisher
with unmistakable evidences of foul play
His head was cut, and on examination 1t
was found that his skull was crushed with
some blunt instrument. He had been
robbed and all evidences as to who he
might be was taken away. The only
thing that was found on his person was

having the names of persons in this city
in it, some literature concerning pianos
and his laundry mark, the letters y. G.
NJ" Through the laundry mark, the
piano literature and his description, it
has been possible to identify him.
Advice from Chillicothe, Missouri, a city
in the northern part of the state, is to
the effect that shortly before the crime
was committed John G.. Miller. of that
city disappeared and it is certain that
the dead man, now buried in Kingfisher,
is a resident of that city and a former
music dealer. Relatives of the deceased
will shortly be in Kingfsher and the body
will be removed to Missouri for the sec
ond burial.
With the clues at hand the officers
had no other alternative that writing
the music houses with which the man
was supposed to have had dealings. The
music house Immediately sent out cir
culars asking for information concerning
a man whose initials were u. G. NJ.
and in this way relatives of the deceased
were acquainted with the whereabouts of
the man.
Miller left his home one morning and
told his father he would return as usual
that evening The last that was seen
of him was at the station. This was
early in January, and all the time the Of
ficers of the Missouri town were search
ing for him in the immediate vicinity Of
