ONLY ONE NEWSPAPER PRINT
ED MURRAY'S CALL.
OTHERDELEGATES HEARD FROM
Upon Advice Of Leading Democratic
Members of the Convention
Proclamation is Held Up.

Guthrie, Okla, June -DisregardinQ
the advice Of conservative members Of
Unconstitutional convention, William
IL. Murray prepared for publication
yesterday a proclamation calling an
election August for the submission OF
the constitution to the voters OF the
state and for the election of state Off.
GERS, Copies of the proclamation were
sent to Democratic newspapers in diff.
ferent portions OF Oklahoma and In
dian Territory.
The issuing of this proclamation
places Murray In Contempt OF court,
Judge j. L. Pancoast In the district
court of Woods county having issued
an order restraining the calling OF an
election until suits against the consti.
tuition had been prepared.
When it became known that Murray
was preparing to defy the court men,
bers Of the convention began trying to
reach him by telephone to prevail upon
him not TO proceed to such an extrem-
ity. One delegate told Murray that
his proclamation would be the great
est misfortune that could befall state
hood, as it would band the constitu-
tional convention as anarchistic and
unwilling to obey the laws of Oklahoma
This delegate further told Murray
that ne would repudiate Murray and
his proclamation before the people of
the state as not representing the
wishes Of the constitutional conyen-
tion. Murray began hedging and said
that ne would consent to postpone his
proclamation forty-eight hours and
then would abandon it IL the commit
tee composed of Delegates Ledbetter,
Hayes and Moore, that went to Wash
ington, should advise against his plan.
1t was Mnrray's wish to have the in
dorsement Of this committee, whatever
his course might be.
Murray then began hastily to notify
newspapers TO which he had sent copies
of his proclamation not to publish it.
With the exception of South McAl-
ester newspaper, he reached all of them
IN time TO stop publication. An effort
Is being made to recall copies OF this
paper containing the proclamation.
One OF the most influential members
OF the convention said last night that
no proclamation would issue now until
after all litigation had been disposed
Of in the courts. All 1.-The members Of
the committee whose advice Murray |
agreed to accept are strongly opposed |
to a contrary course and will demand |
Df Murray that he take a back seat
should he show further inclination to |
disregard the court injunctions.

HARLAND CASE UP!WITHDREW HIS CALL
BUSY MORNING IN JUDGE
GlLL'S COURT
EXPECT GREAT LEGAL BATTLE
Many Witnesses on Hand to Tes-
tify in the Now Famous
Murder Trial

The district co urt has been pushing
the business with vim today. A
great number of the smaller cases OF
the criminal docket were taken up
and disposed Of this morning. Just
before che noon adjournment the ia
mus Harland murder case was called.
The defendant Lou Harland was in
court and his attorney asked for two
days notice of the witnesses be given
him before the trial proceed. This re-.
quest was overruled, and Immediately
afternoon the trial began. There are
a great many witnesses here to be ex-
amined and it is very doubtful if the
case will be finished this week. 1t is
expected that this will be one of the
hardest fought cases ever tried In
this court.
The details Of this case, In which it
IS alleged that Lon Harland killed
Lou Hunt, near WEIGH, in October,
1905, is still fresh in the minds Of the
people here. According TO a statement
made shortly after the killing, Har-
land had gone to the home of Hunt to
stay all night, and during the night
fight occurred in which, it is said,
Hunt attacked Harland with revol-
Yer. The latter struck Hunt with
bottle, killing him. Harland,
assisted, it is charged, by Mis- Hurley,
q sister of Hunt, loaded the body into
an old buggy, hauled it some distance
from the Hunt home and threw it in
IN old we'll, where it was later found.
A sensational statement Of her
treatment of her was made
TO The Chieftain at that time by Mrs.
Hurley.
