THREW BABY
into A WELL
Attempt to Hide Disgrace of
The Parents.

A horrible story comes from Pryor
Greek, relative to the finding of a body
OF a baby in well which had eyi-
IDENTIFY been thrown there few hours
after its birth to cover the shame Of
the parents.
Notice was sent to Marshal Oar
rough who went down Monday and
began an investigation. No autopsy
was held as the body was too badly
decomposed but a rigid examination
of the mystery is being conducted. II
suspicion is right in the case, not only
has a horrible and inhuman crime
been committed, but such a one as
would make the story OF the heather
mothers who threw their children in
to the Ganges river, sound like a tri-
vial tale.
The story here is that Of young
white mother, who, few hours after
the birth Of her child, went in one Of
the coldest nights in February, drop
ped the innocent child into a deep
well, that she might hide her sin and
disgrace from the world. There is al
so the other story Of the one who
ruined the girl, and, who, it is said.
assisted in the murderous deed, al
most too disgraceful to publish and
too horrible to believe.
The discovery has caused a great
excitement in Pryor Creek, and while
neighborhood gossip is not evidence,
yet the facts are that a heathenish
and tiendlsh crime has been committed
and the officers, with the assistance
OF the good people Of Pryor Creek,
will make every effort to bring the
guilty ones to justice.

A Washington special TO the Mus

Judge Raymond filed an answer
with the Department Of Justice to
charges of abuse Of Official power, In
timidation and attempts to bribe citi-
zens residing in the Creek nation to
withdraw their political candidates.
in order that he might profit thereby
which were presented to the depart
ment. Judge Raymond, recently in
yestigated by Attorney Fuller, one of
the attaches of the department, de-
nies in toto all the charges except
that he protected Bert Greer, from
being extradited to Illinois, where he
was indicted on criminal charges.
He alleges extradition papers were
defective and that the question Of ex-
tradition Of Greer was one Of discre-
tion and not mandatory upon him.
He alleges that as Judge Of the vest
ern district he has all Of the powers
in passing on application for extra
dltion Of fugltiyes that the governor
OF a state possesses and that in the
case at issue the evidence presented
was not sufficient to justify the extra
ditlon OF Greer. Assistant Attorney
General Russell, who has the case In
charge today, announced that it would
be taken up by the department and
carefully considered within the next
ten days. While the department. is
informed Fuller is conyalescing and
that he will probaly re, ain his mind,
this will require several months and
the department is not disposed TO de-
lay the final disposition OF the case
that long. General Russell informed
the Phoenix correspondent that he
had requested Attorney Rutherford

tional testimony, afiidayits and other
statements tending to corroborate
