MOB LEADER ON TRIAL,
Springfield Man VIII Be Charged
With Second Degree Murder.

Springfield, August 17.--Daniel d.
Galbraith, alleged to be one of the
leaders of the mob which lynched
three negroes here, will be placed on
trial Monday, but the charge against
him will be second degree murder,
instead Of first degree, as the indict.
ment reads. This move was made by
Prosecuting Attorney Patterson to-
day, when it was seen that only eight
men had qualified to serve on the jury,
out of 16S examined. These, with "a
who qualified Monday, make a total
Of 80. On the first degree charge, 40
must be secured, while on second de-
gree charges, 30 is the legal number.
The fact that conviction on the
latter charge is more probable, is sup
posed to have also inuhenced the
state. s. B. Phifer, who qualified
Monday, was sworn off the panel by
the defense, who introduced affida-
Wits and testimony to show that he
was present at the county Jail when
the mob secured the negroes.
1t is believed that an attempt will
be made Monday to swear of two
more Of the panel, thus causing an ad.
ditional delay. OF tbe thirty mer
qualified, the defense will chAleIss
twelve, the state six, and the remain
ing twelve win constitute the jury
before Galbraith will be tried.

In the case of Claude Abercrombie,
whose case in connection with a do
mestic jar at his place of business on
West First street, was appealed TO the
federal court Thursday, additional ev-
idence was shown, proving the extra
ordinary efficiency and alertness Of
the Tulsa police force. The entire
force was notified to keep q sharp
lookout for the accused young man,
whom they said had mysteriously dis
appeared after the trouble occurred.
In reality, Abercrombie never left
the city Tor over q few hours, but
remained at the home Of his uncle in
the north part Of town. Several days
after the fracas he came to town, en-
ployed lawyers and started for his

there, he met the Pinkertons return.

Indiana Give Courts Embarrassment
to Her Undoing of Pride.

Indianapolis, Ind, August 1.-Two
young women and young man were
walking along Washington street this
afternoon, the man sandwiched be-
tween the girls and trying to roll a
cigarette. The young women were
dressed in summer attire, the crown
ing feature of which was handsome

boop than usual. IN
For block down the street the
man strove unsuccessfully to get a
cigarette rolled. Each time the to-
bacco was poured into the paper, one
of the girls would grab the half-made
cigarette and crumple it up in her
hand. There was an ominous glitter
in the mans eyes.
He pulled the mouth of the bag
wide open once more and dumped a
little tobacco on the paper One of
the girls with laugh grabbed it. With
quick movement, the man poured the
contents Of the bag through the waist.
He then rolled a cigarette unmolested.

A HOUSE PARTY.
A Midnight Watermelon Party by 30
ciety Young Ladies.

The monotony Of the summer season
in society circles was broken in q
most delightful fashion by dozen OF
the young ladies of the city Thursday
evening. The occasion was a slumber
party at the beautiful home Of Miss
Hall. Just exactly why it should be
called a slumber party is rather hard
to discern, as most everything was
done except slumber. Refined amuse-
ments of varied natures were INDUCED
in by the guests during the early
hours Of the evening. Perhaps the
most enjoyable event Of the evenings
program Of pleasure was the water
melon feast at midnight. Big, sweet
watermelons, fresh picked from the
melon patch, afforded most interesting
entertainment. A wierd portion Of the
evening was the relation Of ghost stor-
les, following the feast until the wee,
small hours. Breakfast was served,
and later lunch taken in the follow
ing morning.
The guests were: Miss Kimmons,
Of Fort Smith; Caroline McBirney,
Ellis Pittman, Mable Bynum, Lottie
Evans, Ami McBirney, Zida Smith,
Nora Neeves.

TROUBLE over
Her Allotment
MRS. z. RoBITAILLE ExPERIEN.
CEs GRIEF OVER AN EIGHTY.
SERIOUS INCONVENIENCE
Lady May Havs to Spend Long Time
on Minnesota Farm 70 Hold Her
Title.

Mrs. E. Robitaille, wife of the Tul
sa attorney, may have to spend sever
al months and maybe several years
on an eighty acre tract Of land in Min
nesota in order to hold possession Of
the land. The land lies in the White
Earth reservation in the Chippewa
country in Minnesota, and comprises
a part of Mrs. Robitaille's allot.
ment from the government.
Mrs. Robitaille is Chippewa In
dian, and under the Nelson bill which
passed congress in 1880, was allotted
eighty acres of land in the above
country. In 1904, by the conditions
Of the Stinnerson act, she received
eighty more acres, but has never been
able to get the patent on it yet, owing
to a string of red tape that ties up
the allotment. Several days ago she
received a letter from the Indian ag-
ent at the White Earth reservation,
informing her that she must report at
the agency on or before the sixteenth
Of September or lose her allotment.
Mr.. Robitaille has written the in
terror department, stating that he and
his wife are now residents of Indian
Territory and in business here, and
showing the inconvenience it will put
them to in order to comply with the
demand Of the Indian agent, and it
may be that the matter can be ad-
justed without necessitating Mrs.
Robitaille going to Minnesota. The
rules do not specify how long the al.
lottee is comDelled to remain on the
allotment, and the lady might be CON-
PEELED TO remain on the land for as
long as ten years before she received
her patent.

his reason for moving to this section.
Mr.. Wrightsman has all along main.

this in the following interview to the
Oklahoman recently:
Charles Wrightsman, Of Tulsa, l,

clan, was in the city yesterday. He
stated that he expected great things
from the Indian Territory, and that
in recently moving to Tulsa he be.
lieved that he had selected the coming
town Of the northern part Of the
new state. Mr.. Wrightsman has been
mentioned very often in connection
with congressional and other politi-
cal honors and when asked about them
he renlied: ~ am running for an
Office, and the only man that is abso-

REUNION AT MINNEAPOLIS AD-
JOURNED LAST NIGHT.
SARATOGA NEXT MEETING
Telegram from President Roosevelt
Gives Heartiest Greeting to Griz-
zled Survivors of Greatest War.

3 Minneapolis, Mimi, August IT,
The Grand Army of the Republic com
pleted its fortieth encampment late
today and adjourned to meet in Sara
toga, N. Y, in 1907.
4 The encampment. after an exciting
debate, decided that the protest
against the action of statute to Henry
Wirz should be sent to General S. D.
Lee, commander of the Southern Vet
erans' association. This action was
decided upon only after long debate,
which at one time became energetic
and acrimonious. A proposition to
deprecate the action of congress in
abolishing the csnteen from the old
soldiers homes was laid on the table
without debate. M
just prior to final adjournment, the
new commander-in-chief, R. B.
Brown, Of GAINESVILLE, Ohio, announced
the following staff appointments:
Adjutant General-Joseph w. o.
Neal, of Ohio.
Quartermaster General-Charles
Burrows, of New Jersey.
Assistant Quartehmaster General
j. H. Holcombe, of Philadelphia.
Chief of Staff. v. Winanes, of
Ohio.
When the encampment was called
t. order this morning, the first ques-
.tion up for settlement was the selec-
tion of a place for holding the next
encampment. The invitation of Sara
toga, New York, was presented yes
terday, and that of Cincinnati was
made as soon as the meeting was call
ed to order today. The vote proceed
ed smoothly enough until the name
of Kansas was called. Captain P. H.
Coney, Of the Kansas delegation, cast
its entire forty votes for Cincinnati.
The votes were promptly questioned
on the ground that Kansas did not
have any such number Of delegates in
the hall. Long debate ensued, which
was ended by ruling of the commen-
der-in-chief that Kansas could vote
only as many men as were actually
present.
The number happened to be some
thing less than twenty. The final vote
showed 403 for Saratoga and 175 for
Cincinnati. A delegate from Wiscon-
sin attempted to bring up the can
teen question, but was squelched sum-
marily, the whole question being laid
on the table at once.
During the day Commander-in- Chief
Tanner sent a telegram to President
Roosevelt, informing him Of the fact
that the encampment was in session.
To this the following reply was made
by the president to the commander:
"Many thanks for your telegram.
Through you I extend to Grand Army
of Republic my heartiest greetings,
not merely personal, but official in be-
half Of all people of this nation,
whose existence is owing to what you
and your comrades did in heroic days
of Civil war.
