LAND OFFICE CLOSED.
Much OF Allotment Is Rather Poor and
Not Desired

Muskogee. Sept. 9.-The land office
In the Seminole nation has closed by
the Dawes commission upon recon-
mendation OF Governor Brown Of the
SemInoles. The office was opened for
the purpose Of allotting forty acres OF
land to Seminole infants who were en-.
titled to allotments under a recent act
OF congress. There is enough land to
give each OF these babies forty acres
each, but most Of II is very poor land.
There are few good tracts. The land
office was allotting the land TO the al
luottees In their regular number AMI
a protest was made that the first ones
would get the good land and the 9TH
ers would not accept the worthless
part. II is likely that the land will
now be arbitrarily allotted from the
commission offices and that the forty
acre tracts and the allottees will be
taken in their regular order and It viii
be a matter OF chance who gets good
land and otherwise. as the commission
does not know which land Is good and
which is poor. There are about 100. 600
acres to be allotted

NEGRO BURNED
AT The STAKE
Dire Vengeance Melted Out to Mrs.
Norris Insulter.
ROASTED BY CITIZENS
After Being Identified by His Victim
the Negro Confessed HE Crime
and Was Taken a Short
Distance ,and Burned.

Waxahachie, Tex, Sept. 9.-The dia-
bolical crime committed upon the per-
son of Mrs s. p. Norris last Monday
has been expiated at the stake. Aaron
times called, the negro who assaulted
and outraged Mrs. Norris last Monday
was roasted to death by the enraged
citizens of that community. The exc
cution took place at Jurd Browns
farm. about three miles south of How
ard. and only short distance from the
scene of his crime.
Jessie. or Aaron. was captured about
IL o'clock Thursday morning In the
creek bottom near Maloney. where he
had been in hiding since committing
the crime. He was taken before Mrs.
at sight of him. He then confessed
that he committed the crime. In his
confession he stated that he went 10
the Norris home Monday morning and
found Mrs. Norris alone.
She was sitting on the bed and had
her back TO me-" he said, "and without
saying anything TO her / struck her on
the back of the head with my fist one
time. and I'm the face three times and
pulled out her tongue. That Is all
done"
He was asked repeatedly IL he COM
mitted any other crime upon her. but
denied 1t. He stated he was born in
Navasota and was 81 years old: that
he had one brother and five sisters In
this county; that he came to the How
ard community in October of last year
from Mexia to pick cotton and chopped
cotton for Mr.. Norris four or five days
this spring.
He said he intended to commit an
outrage upon Mrs. Norris. but became
frightened and run away. AS soon as
IT was ascertained that he was the
right party the leaders of the crowd
began making preparations for his
burning.
The hour was fixed for ? o'clock. but
he asked for time to call up his brother
and sister at Palmer over the long dis
tance telephone and tell them good
bye. and the hour was postponed until
o'clock.
When theat hour arrived he was
placed in a wagon and crowd, which
numbered about 1900 persons. moved
with him to the place of execution.
where two iron stakes had been set up
Before being chained to them he was
asked how he wanted to die and said
he did not care; to do what they want
ed with him.
When asked why he committe the
crime, he stated: "Just for meanness."
He was then suspended between the
iron stakes with chains and lot of old
lumber torn from a barn, donated by a
neighbor for that purpose. was piled
under him and that saturated with oil
and set on fire. He never begged for
mercy or screamed and only one ex-
clamation of ''oh Lord" was heard
from him.
In few minutes the flames envel-
oped his body. he becme still and all
was over
