Lone Robber Makes Haul at Hazen

man entered the Guber-Coffin saloon
at this place last night and at the
point of gun lined the occupnts up
against the wall of the place. He
then picked one of the men from
the crowd and order him to go
through the safe and the cash regis
ter and get him the contents. The
man did as he was bid and secured
about $50 in coin which he handed
over to the roDber. Besides this coin
small sack of valuable jewelry was
taken from the safe but after an in
vestigation the robber said that they
could put it back where they found
it as he did not care to be burdened
with jeweiry. In doing so the man
overlooked 10 twenty dollar goLi

and covered up his face with a
blanket. :.
At s.: 40 a shot was heard from his
cell and when the guards entered it
was found that he had rolled out OF
bed and was lying dead on the floor
with a bullet hole in his forehead
A 41-calibre single shot deringer
was grasped in his hand. His left
trouser leg was pulled up and exam
ination showed a mark on his leg
where the weapon had rested while
concealed in his left shoe.
Haas wore CATERS with elastic sides
which made this possible.
After he had shot Heney yester-
day Haas was searched by Police Cap
tain Duke, Detective Burns nd a po-
lice officer. After he had been taken
to the County Jail he was searched
again, but at neither times were his
shoes examined.
Haas went to bet at night with
his shoes on and again tonight when
asked why he did this said that he
would rather sleep with them on.

Special Agent White was in secret
conference with that Federal official
upon this matter.
Mining Engineer Howe, who is as
; sociated with Special White at this
time, and who have not as yet COM
pleted their labors, intending to be
here until next week, has made some
startling discovries. This investiga-
tion, however, is but supplementary
to that of Pollard Of last year, but is
regarded by the government of great
value in it's results.
These officials are extremely reluc-
tant to talk upon any feature of their
monentous work, their silence being
compulsory under their official pledg-
es to secrecy. However, their pres
ence and the import OF their unan-
nounced Investigations has been
know for some time, though moth
ing of a positive character could be
declared until now.
When seen yesterday, Special Agent
White, was as courteous as he was
ciose-mouthed; however he had some
thing to say touching upon certain
conditions Of land affairs prevailing
in various sections of this State. Nj.
White said:
There has been a great deal of
trouble with many townsites in Ne

cured through fictitious mineral fL-
l1gs. This applies especially in cases
wkere the government has esta ablished

| Thousands of acres of immensely
valuable mineral land, rich in lodges
Of gold, is believed to be about to re-
vert to the government as the result
of secret Investigations going on dur
ing the past few months, which will
probably cansel many patents to such
land, secured by the Southern Pacific
Railroad Company under agriculture,
land filings made within the past six
years.
Entire sections of land containing
$40 acres each, to which the railroad
has attained patent, are about to re-
vert to Uncle Sam by such legal pro-
cess, upon the ground that at the
time such patents were issued, the
land was known mineral land, which,
if this can be proven by the land de-
partment, will open up extensive ter
ritories Of valuable ore producing sec
tions to mineral entries.
In case this can be accomplished by
the government, and it is its inten-
ton to sift the matter to the bottom
the existing patents will be cancelled.

NEGRO KILLS sheriff:
SEVEN DIE AS RESULT
Rioting in Oklahoma and War is

OKMULGEE, Okla, Nov. 16.-So.
ciety women, with every trace OF
feminine culture forgotten; children
wild with glee the sight of blood
men crazed with the desire to kill
made up the most frantic mob whose
terrible vengence has ever been re-
corded in Oklahoma yesterday.
Seven persons were shot, and a
negro was burned to death by the
furious mob which applied a torch
to the house in which he had taken
refuge.
Okmulgee today is at the fever
point and more trouble is feared. Gov.
ernor Haskell has dispatched militia
to the scene but affairs may subside
on their arrival.
Haskell himself may have to come
to take control of the situation, but
even his presence may not curb the
appetite for blood that has been
aroused in the people of this town.
Negroes are fleeing for their lives to
the surrounding hills, and terror
reigns among them.
The trouble started early in the af-
ternoon when Sheriff w. E. Robinson
of Okmulgee county, and Henry Kla-
ber, a patrolman, met Jim Decker and
another negro, who have been fugi-
tives from justice. The officers cali
ed upon the two to halt. The COM
mand was met with a refusal, and
in the melee that followed, Decker
drew his revolver and shot the Sher-
i'll to death. Holding the crowd that
had gathered by, the murdered made
his escape and took refuge in the

latter and his family from the place
and barring the windows and doors.
The news of the murder spread rap
idly. From the houses of the town
ran men, women and children, armed
with rifles and revolvers, and begged
for the head of the negro. The mob
gathered in front of the house and
called upon Decker to come out and
be lynched. The reply was a shot
from the fugitives gun. which brought
down the Sheriff.
With cries that mingled into a
s.heam of hatred, the mob fired volley

the mob, wild with delight, charged

flames shot into the air amid the
cheering of the crowd. Decker, close
to death from the bullet which had
entered his body, was seen through a
window to writhe in agony as the fire
reached him, and shrill cries of salts
faction came from the throats of the
women who composed the mob.
Citizens are being sworn in as depu-
ties, and all the officers of the county
have been called upon to come to Ok

to the troops. Further trouble is ex-
pected. The mob refuses to dispense,
and is planning further vengence.
