GRANT COUNTY MAN
SHOT THROUGH HEAD
/ His Wife Returns to House 10 Find
( Him Dying and Unable to Tel
of Accident.

Silver City. n. NJ, Sept. l2.-An-
drew j. Steele, or Jack" Steele, as
he was known, is dead as the result
of a pistol shot through the head,
and the manner in which he was shot
is unexplained. Steele resided in the
western part of this county. He re-
turned home about dusk and went
into the house, his wife being in the
yard. She heard a shot and rushed
into the house TO find her husband
dying, with a bullet hole through his
head. 1t is thought that he accident
ally discharged the revolver while re-
moving it from his pocket, and a
suicide theory is not entertained as
there was no apparent cause for him
to take his life.

NOT QUANTREll'S MEN
BODIES OF CONFEDERATE SOL.
DlERs FOUND AT ATokA NOT
OF oUANTRELL's BAND.

Guthrie Okla. Mar. 1S.-That the
Confederate soldiers buried on the
banks OF Boggy Creek. near Atoka.
whose bodies ii has recently been
proposed to move to more appro-
pirate resting place, at the expense
of the state, were not members Of
Quantrel's band. as has been assert
ed, is the positive statement made
by members OF the Jeff.Lee camp,
United Confederate Veterans.
Following the announcement that
Senator r. f. Memmingcr Of Atoka
would introduce resolution for the
removal OF the bodies, story was
printed in the Indian Citizen. pun
lishcd at Atoka. to the effect that
the bodies were those of number
OF Quantrells men. who were pur-
sued into Indian Territory by Fed
eral troops, and defeated with great
loss at that point.
On the ground that such n state
mcnt is misleading and is calculated
to create animosity against the
southern people nd Confederate sol
diers. the McAlester camp has is
issued formal denial. stating on
the authority Of It's members who
are familiar with the facts that
Quantrcll or his men never had
fight with the F,derals at Atoka
nor was there ever fight at Alto
ka. nor did Quantrell ever camp at
Atoka over night, nor did the Fed
eral troops ever penetrate farther
south than where JlvTnnah> now
stands. during the war II is further
stated that the bodies buried at
Atoka, II they are the bodies of sol.
diers are the bodies Of soldiers
belonging TO the Eleventh
Texas cavalry, Gangos brigade, Max
les division.
The story that the remains were
those OF Quantrells men Is said 10
have been told by an Indian. who
related that when Quantrell and
about 300 men were passing that
way they were attacked by Federal
troops ana almost cut 70 pieces. The
story further alleges that Quantrell
returned later and buried the bodies
OF his men, cutting on rough pieces
OF sandstone their initials and the
letters e. S. A., which may still be
seen on the stones over the graves.
An element OF probability was given
TO the story by the fact that three
companies from the Fifth, Seventh
and sixteenth Kansas regiment were
known 20 have followed Quantrell in
Indian Territory, and to have had a
sharp fight with him there. No def
mite record had been preserved as
to the locality where that fight took
place, and until the positive denial
from McAlester II was supposed
that II might have been near Atoka,
as suggested.
