I was often asked If would recog- nIze my parents murderer and was several times confronted with men to identify him. but all l could say about him was that he was very young, and l never saw any one who looked like him. AS the years passed the indis- tInct images faded entirely from my mind. Not so the incident. That re mained aS distinct as the day 1t oc- cured. As soon as I grew old enough 10 handle gun I spent hours In the woods practicing at shooting, prepar- ing for the day when l should meet the murderer. was boyiSh enough not to doubt that l would surely do so.
 When the civil war came on l was seventeen years old. Having been born of northern parents and brought up by Southeruers. my interest in the struggle was neutralized. l thought of entering the northern army, but only in hopes of meeting the enemy l long ed to meet But the chances were not sufficient even for my enthusiastic or, rather. imaginative temper, and put off the day of enlistment
 One evening during the middle of the war l was at hotel in Independence, Mo, and stepped into the barrOOm to get a cigar. A number of southern sympathiZers were there. men who had taken part in the 'border rutfian" war, talking over their experiences One of the number, a man about thirty, told the story about which my life revolved. His only Qualms of conscience were having left a little child to die uncared for, but he even cracked a joke about this.
 The meeting wi,l Gly enemy was the happlest moment of my life. l was de- batting how would deal with him when he turned and, seeing me stand ing apart. asked mc to drink.
 Thanks" said. "I never drink with murdercrs.'
 Of course had my revolver ready before l threw down the gauntlet, and be was obliged to temporiZe.
 Yer mighty pcrttcular." he said.
 Not with whom l light"
 And when do you want to tight?"
 NOW"
 We agreed to 20 out into tie street and take positions at opposite ends of the block. then advance and shoot as soon as we saw each other. l could have killed him where we were, but If I had done so his friends would have killed me. Just before going out went near him and said in low tone, I'm the sou of the people you murder ed and the brother of the little girl you left to die on the farm"
 He paled. and knew his nerve was gone. As we went to our respective positions l turned every few moments to make sure he didn't try to get away. When at last saw him stand ing on his corner l felt that my re- venge had come. At given signal we advanced slowly. The street not be- ing very well lighted. we could not have distinguished each other if there had been any one else on the sidewalk. My eyes were remarkably farsighted and l saw him distinctly. From his movements I judged that he could not clearly make me out, Since had left him rattled, and believing that his vision was inferior to mine, I resolved not to hurry. When we got within shooting distance he fired His bullet grazed mr sh0u,i1". ! nul}ed my trig. ger and he fell dead.

Suit Against Standard Company
Of New Jersey and Officials

that "this share of business has been
procured by a course Of action which,
beginning in 1870, has continued un-
der the direction Of the same persons
in the main down to the present time,
and that their design thruout has
been to suppress competition in the
production, transportation and sale Of
refined oil and to obtain as far as pos
sible monopoly Of oil therein"
The report further shows according
to Mr.. Moody, "that the company
has been enabled to obtain in large
sections of the country monopoly OF
the sale of refined oil, with the result
that prices to the consumer within
the territory where the monopoly pre-
walls are much higher than wlthln
territory where competition to some

THIS SIDE LEADS
Indian Territory Cast More
Votes Than Oklahoma
in Election

The total vote for the Oklahoma
end Of the new state in the election
just past was 81, $50, as reported by the
canvassing board. This includes the
Usage nation. The Indian Territory
canvassing board has not yet complet-
ed its count. From So Of tie IS dis
tricts the total vote is $4,000. In
these 81 district, however 40 precincts
are missing, and these, with the mis-
sing three districts, will make the In
dian Territory vote at least l0l, 900
votes, or 6,3l0 more than we're cast in
Oklahoma
This is the first time any accurate
estimate Of the voting strength Of the
two territories has been poss bic, and
it shows Indian Territory well in the
lead. The census Of 1900 gave Indian
territory S92, 600 and Oklahoma 395. 900
population Many Indian Territory
citizens refrained from voting, so that
really this territory has much more
than the 6,sl0 advantage which the
returns show.

BACK UP
Democrats of 0kIaho-
ma Made Too Many
Promises

A special from Guthrie to the Okla
homa City Post says:-The Democrats
are already beginning to back water
on a number Of the propositions
which they have played up strongly
during the campaign, and lack the
nerve to make good their promises.
A number Of the Democratic leaders
have lready expressed themselves as
opposing any plan for general primary
nominations which would throw out
the Republican nominations for con-
gress in the first and second districts.
The reason assigned for this position
is that the Democrats would rather
beat Mcclure themselves than to
have him beaten by his own party In
case a new nomination were made.
A tendency is also manifested
among the Democrats to steer clear OF
anything that properly belongs to the
domain Of legislation in the constitu-
ii onal convention, altho large
number of the Democratic delegates
were elected on the platform declar-
ing in favor of provisions of that ort.
The Democratic leaders are In fact be-
ginning to realize the responsibility
which will rest on them for the con-
duct of affairs in the convention, and
many of them will really endeavor to
steer a conservative course, altho they
are likely to have difficulty in keeping
some Of the more radical delegates in
line.
A strong fight will be made for
some sort of a good road provision in
cluding the creation of a state high
way commission. 1t has also been
proposed that municipalities should
be allowed to issue bonds for the con-
struction of roads, the same as for
schools.
1t is going to be practically imposs-
ible for the convention to dodge the
county seat question altogether, as a
number Of the Indian Territory towns
with county seat aspirations will
maintain lobbies here especially to
look after their interests in that re-
spect. Tulsa is the first one to make
definite arrangements in that respect.
1t has secured suite of rooms and
will maintain headquarters all during
the convention to boost for the town.
Candidates for convention jobs are
still coming out. Rev. Job Ingram,
of Kingflsher chaplain Of the Okla
homa national guard, and Of the ter
ritorial volunteers during the Spanish
war, is being boosted for chaplain oi
the convention by Capt. Charles Bar
rett and other Democratic veterans
Thomas f. Carey, Of Shawnee, an
noUnced himself as a candidate fol-
chief clerk. He has been a student
at Oklahoma university for three
years, acting as registrar during Roy
Hadsell's absence.
