Democrats Are Sure Haskell is
 Elected
FRANTZ AHEAD OF TICKET
Constitution Is Adopted by Large Majority and Indications Point to Safe Democratic Major
 ity in Legislature.

Oklahoma City, Okla, September 1S.- Up to noon but few returns from yester- days election additional to those received last night had come in, and neither re- publican nor democratic party managers were in a position to make fresh esti- mates on the results. The reports so far received indicate that the constitution was adopted by large majority. but the re- suit of the vote on statewide prohibition is in doubt. and may not be known for some time. It was claimed here today that Thomas B. Ferguson, republican ex- governor had been elected to Congress in the Second district over E. l.. Fulton, democrat, whose election was indicated last night.
 Both parties claim the election of gov- ernor, with Haskell, democrat, apparent ly leading by a safe majority over Gov ernor Frantz, republican. The election of democratic legislature. which is prob able, means the election of r. P. Gore, the blind orator. and R. l.. Owen, nomi- mated at the primary in June, to the Uni ted States Senate.
 Frantz is runng far ahead of his ticket. but otherwise the democrats of both territories seem to be polling the ma iority of 1906 B. s. Mcclure, republican, is probably elected congressman from the First district, and Frank Hubbard re- publican, from the Third district

 Colonel Money on the Stand.
 Colonel Money was then called and there was considerable stir in tho court room, as all were anxious to get a glimpse of the man who had ma de such a brave fight aga inst death. He walked with cane, but steadily through the crowd to the witness chair His face bore the scars of the several buckshot he had received and there were left the traces of pain and sorrow lie has passed through. As he took his seat his piercing black eyes took a rapid survey of the court room. and finally rested with q steady gaze on Kirby, who sat back few feet distant, and returned the gaze un- ninchingly.
 In broken whispers Colonel Money told of his sons tragic death. He stated that he was sitting in the back of his store by a side door and Jamie Money. his son, was out in front. He saw Dr- kirby pass by the window and then heard four pistol shots and saw his son fall into the door. He asked his clerk to get him a gun, but failing to get lt he stepped toward d sleeping room, where he was shot with shotgun, presumably through the side door.
 No Threats Made.
 Colonel Money said he then secured a Winchester rife and started to the front, whereupon he was fired on from the front door He said he was shot three times He said that no threats had been made and that he had not oven spoken to any of Sc klrbys except Bob Kirby for several months and that only once, ard on business. lie said that he and his gon had entertained no ill-feeling toward the Krbys but that they had not spoken to him. presumably because his son Jamie had killed their brother-in-law Tender son, last fall, and that neither he nor his son were anticipating any trouble with the Ki~bys
 All of tiie state witnesses examined to- day testified practically that Jamie Money was in his shirt sleeves sitting on an iron safe in front of his store Just prlo4 10 the killing and that the only weapon he had was an open pocket knife found lying by his side.
 The Kirbys are confident of being dis charged at this hearing on the ground of self-defense.
 The state will probably conclude it's evil dence today. when the defense will pro ceed with it's testimony.

LANDS ON EIGHT DIFFERENT
RESERVATIONS TO BE OPEN.
: ED THIS YEAR.
LOWER BRULf COMES FIRST
DRAWING FOR SOUTH DAKOTA
TRACT WILL BEGIN NEXT
!; MONTH At PIERRE.

Washington, Sept. 10.-Uncle. Sam
is planning to distribute homesteads
in Indian reservations Of the West to
about $4,000 homeseekers during the
next year. This will be the biggest
distribution he has made since he
threw Oklahoma open to settlement.
The land to be opened UP is located on
eight different Indian reservations
and nearly all of it is regarded as
irst.class for farming purposes.
While the regulations for its dispo'
sal are out only for one reservation
thus far, it has been decided to open
all the tracts by the lottery system.
This has been tried twice by the gov.
eminent and works admirably.
Square Deal for All.
1t precludes any trouble over con.
tests and apparently satisfies every.
body who secures a ticket to the lot
terry whether he is lucky or not. A
loser knows that he had fair show.
The reservations to be opened. with
their acreage follows:
Occur d'Alene, Idaho, $4,000 acres.
Colville, Washington, 100000
acres.
Flathead, Montana, 100000 acres.
Lower Brule. South Dakota. $50
acres.
Rosebud, South Dakota, $4,000
acres.
Yakima. Washington, 1,145,000
acres.
Lemhi, Idaho, $4,000 acres.
Blackfeet, Idaho, 100000 acres. ;,
This makes a total of 4.910.360
acres.
Open Lower BruIe First.
The first reservation to be opened
will be the Lower Brule, in South Da-
kota, with its 56,560 acres. The land
has been appraised and the regula.
tons issued for it's disposal. Home
seekers will have until Oct. to file
applications for lottery tickets in the
big drawing which will take place at
Pierre the following week. Each ap,
plicant must go to the Pierre land dis.
trict and make oath on his ticket that
he is entitled to take public land un.
der the homestead laws. Then, if he
is successful in drawing a farm he
must pay the government the apprais-
ed value of the land in annual INSTALL
ments. The value is placed at from
$1.25 to 81 an acre.

Chicago, Sept. 8.-Plans to organize
the farmers Of the country in a coop.
erative movement similar to the Roch

Already 100000 farmers are pledged

ket and headquarters.
The society is incorporated under
the laws of New Jersey. 1t proposes
to establish markets in every city in
the country for the distribution Of
farm products on the cooperative
plan.

Will Discuss Big Questions.
MAY BE INDEMNITY TO PAY.
Expulsion Of sikhs From BeIIinghar1
May Stir UP Ugly Mess.

Washington, Sept. S.-While no in
formation of an official character has
reached the state department concern.
ing the summary expulsion of sikhs
from Bellingham. WASH, it is conf.
IDENTIFY expected chat if the facts were
as reported in the press Ambassador
Brice will soon be heard from. The
British government takes pride in
protecting the lives and property of
its subjects. so it is expected that as
soon as the British consular officer
who is reported to be looking into the
matter has completed his investiga.
ton and communicated with the Brit.
ish embassy formal complaint will be
lodged with the state department.
Is Embarrassing.
The state department is always EN-.
barrassed in dealing with incidents Of
this character. owing to the fact that
the national government has no au
thority to enter a state even to pro.
tect foreigners treaty rights. AL
that the state department can do in
such a case is to address the governor
of Washington, transmitting perhaps
the complaint of the British embassy,
if there should be one, and requesting
him to take steps to prevent a recur-
renee of the trouble. Probably in the
end claims for damages sustained by
the individuals will be preferred.
May Bring Civil Actions.
If the aggrieved individuals care to
do so, they may bring civil actions
against the municipal authorities at
Bellingham in the local courts, just as
the Japanese restaurant and hath
house keepers have done in San Fran.
cisco, and undoubtedly the state de.
partment would very much prefer that
this course be followed. If, however,
it should be found impossible to Sc.
cure justice at the hands of the local
judiciary, then, as was done in the
case of the murderous attacks upon
the Italians in New Orleans some
years ago, the executive will recon.
mend to congress that indemnities be
paid to the victims.
