Is that of handling the cases of muir

more against the name OF Oklahoma
than the partisan rancor and political
bmnders Ct all the parties. Human

to allow the legal settlement of affairs
until there has gone forth bad reports
from certain portions Of the state.
These killings have a two-fold effect:
First, they frlghten away the invest T
