EvELATIONS" WERE
MEANT TO STARTLE
But Another Attempt to Stir Up Sym
pathy for the WickIiTeS Has
Fallen Very Flat

Yesterdays Muskogee Times-Demo-
crat contained the ong-promised
revelations concerning Marshal
Darrough and his ''inhumanN treat
ment Of the Wickliffes. There was
nothing whatever new in the so-called
revelations. The article consisted
of a number Of aflidayits collected by
e. L. Landrum of Tahlequah and
others Mrs. Charlotte Wickliffe, the
wife of Charles, swears to a number
Of acts OF ininstice which SHE claims
were perpetrated by the marshals on
her husband and his brothers, and
which drove them to outlawry, but
they are the same stories she has told
before, which have been time and
again refuted. She swears too that
II. Z. Gilstrap made improper pro-
posals to her. Since Gilstrap IS dead
it is Of course easy enough to make
afldayits,
John Ned aDd John Fish, full
bloods, swear that the latter was shot
by marshals while trying to run away
from them They swear that the
shooting was entirely unprovoked.
1t occurredl south Of Sallisaw in
February, 1906, or before the Wick
life chase was begun Deputies
Priest and Sizemore are blamed with
being responsible for the shooting
Marshal Darrough had not heard Of
this case. A young man was shot
but not seriously injured while trying
to escape from rnarshals who were
trying to arrest him on a charge
which had nothing whatever to do
with the WicklifTes, and it may be
that this is the case The marshal
has written Deputy Priest and viii
thoroughly investigate the story.
And that's all there is to the
revelations. It's just what has
been told often before, that the
wicked marshals laloneare responsible
for all that the Wickliffes have done.
In this connection, therefore, it isl
rather interesting to examine the
history OF Charles Wickliffe previous
to the time that the marshals tried
to arrest him,
About twelve years ago he shot and
killed an Indian named White Walk
er in the Spavinaw country. lie was
tried in the Cherokee courts and ac-
quilted.
Not long thereafter, while Charley
WicklifTe and his brother VIII, both
more or less intoxicated, were riding
horseback, both being on the same
horse, Charley playfully shot and
killed his brother He was again
tried in the Cherokee courts and ac-
quilted
Soon thereafter Charley Wickhtfe,
again intoxicated, rode along past

blood, was at work. rauce, shout

do so the gentle-souled Child of The
forest SHOT him through The body and
rode AVA lg his victim FOR dead
Buck recovered, and is still living
near Spavinaw.
The next heard Of this much
wronged Wicklitfe was when, at
stomp dance, he and his younger
brothers carved another fullblood,
who luckily, recovered from his
wounds. It was not until this time,
when Wicklitfe had already killed I
two men and shot another, that the
marshals had anything whatever TO
do with him. Since they have been /
after him he and his brothers, as is
well known, have added two more

The foregoing cable dispatch confirms the private
mail advices which have beer received in this city
directly from Caracas. President Castro is very
sick man. and il unlikely that he will ever recover
sufficiently take UP again the rens OF govern
ment in fact. the BELIEF Is general that his days OF
life few.
The prediction made seven wears ago. when
Genera! Castro after victorious armed movement
against President Andrads took charge OF a1airs at
Caracas that he would eventually break down un-
der the tremendous nervous and physical strain
under which he worked. He bore up longer than
even his friends who warned him. expected.
II was several months ago that President Castro
collapsed. since which time he has been under t1e
constant care of his physician. Dr. Revenga- who
is also his secretary general
General Castro has suffered several strokes OF
paralysis. He is said be at present continually
IN of semi-corna. with only few brief lucid
moments He staying in village close by
Caracas
Two or three times the government at Caracas
has made official efforts disguise the real status
OF Castros condition by informing the Venezuelan
Consul General IN this city that he had fully re-
covered and again assumed his duties as CHIEF
magistrate OF the republic These dispatches. sent
evidently to forestaI turmoil that Is certain
70 follow the death Of President Castro. have IN
each instance oeen contradicted by reports from
unofficial and unbiased sources.
II has been arranged that General Joss Vicente
Gomez. First Vice President. should take the
Presidency OCTOBER y, last. tne anniversary OA
the birth OF Simon Bolivar. the Hberator. Presi-
dent Castro is opposed General Gomez although
he is his constitutional successor. and the change

While Castro continues nonnirally IN charse the
affairs OF state in reality administered by
Torres Cardenas the Minister OF Interior and DR..
Revenga.
II is an open secret that Castro has chosen as
his successor General Francisco L Alcantara
President OF the State OF Aragua- son OF the late
President Alcsntara OF Venezuela, and a West
Point graduate. General Gomez, however. has
considerable influence with the army II is not
likely that he will meekly submit TO the usurpa-
tion OF his rights and armed resistance VIII oe

by the Castro element. 20 seize control or tne
government. This will bring about an tnsurrection
10 depose General Gomez and seat General
Alcantara.
The news that General Mantlla- the rebel leader,
continues his activities is not regarded here with
any apprehension. He has been in the field almost
continually for several years but not much atten-
ton Is paid to him

insurrecton against ths Castro regime outside OF
