Deputy Marshal John Wyre Of Me
Curtain brought to this city last night
Nick Powell and Riley Hicks, two
negroes. who are charged with the
murder of fellow negro at the town
of Kinta on the morning of the 10Th
of June. The prisoners are now in
the United States Jail, where they
will remain until taken to Poteau for
their preliminary.
From what can be learned the muir
der was of an unusually brutal charac-
ter. Amos Shoat was the name of the
man killed Powell and Hicks wayIaid
him as he was going to his work early
in the morning. and Powell shot him
with a shotgun The only reason Civ
en- for the murder is by Shoat S wife,
who SAYS that her husband and Powell
who was his brother-in-law, had quar-
relied over mule and that Powell
committed the murder through pure
revenge. In Jail neither of the men
would say anything about the affair.
Hicks wonders why he is held, claim
iac that he did nothing except to 90
with Powell to see the fun.

sworn out by Clarence Legendre, a
New York photographer, charging
Sloan for assault in the third degree.
An appearance was entered at once
before Squire Franklin, and Sloan
was released on his own recognizance
to appear for trial next Monday. The
arrest was the result of an interfer-
ence by secret service men yesterday
in an eudcavor of Legendre to take
snap shot of the president as he en-
tered his carriage at the station here.
Leeendre claims that Sloan hit him in
the face after the photograph was

away. Secret service men say that
they have previously had trouble

bond for $500 by every contractor
or individual, who for any purpose,
wishes to make any excavation in
the streets, and file it, with the plan
or the work to be done with the city
engineer, and receive a permit be-
fore allowed to proceed with the
work. It has been the custom, here
tofore. to have check filed with the
aIf,.cation for permits, and city
treasurer mas always on hand fifty
or sixty checks of this nature, which
In fact, are not guarantees that the
work will be properly done. as the
man may not have the money in bank
at all.
When a contractor has asked for
permits exceeding the guarantee
the $500 bond viii furnish, he wifi
be required 10 execute an additional
one.
The council will hold its regular
meeting tonight. but there are few
matters of importance to be brought
up, so far as known.
The tax rate ordnance, fixing the
rate at s1.6O. will be presented for
second passage. and it is not known
whether it will be changed TO s1.G5

1t is not likely that the COW ordl-
