Bagley, chief mailing clerk of the Co

with robbing the mails. Money had

District Attorney Heney Shot by Juror
San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE
San Francisco bribery graft cases had
a dramatic climax when Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Francis J. Heney, who
has been in charge of the prosecution
during the tortuous course of two
years, was shot and seriously wound
ed in the crowded court room by Nor
ris Haas, an ex-convict.
The shooting occurred during a
brief recess in the third trial of Abra-
ham Ruef on charge of bribery, now
in it's eleventh week.
Mr. Heney is now resting easily in
the Lane hospital, and the physicians
say his wound is not fatal Haas is
in the city prison.
The would-be assassin is a saloon
keeper, who was drawn upon the jury
panel in the second trial of Ruef, and
who, after having been temporarily
passed by both sides, was exposed in
q dramatic manner by Mr.. Heney as
an ex-conyict and discharged from the
jury. Haas dessN9ge after the shoot
ing that Heney had ruined his life by
the. exposure, and that he had deter
mined to kill him for that reason.

EIGHT KILLED;
TEN HURT
NEGRO OUTLAW KILLS SHERIFF
AND SEVEN OTHERS AND
WOUNDED TEN. -

Okmulgee, Okla, Nov 16.-HEht
persons were killed and ten others
were wounded yesterday in fight be
tween James Deckard, negro des-
perado, and officers.
The disturbance began at the st.
Louis and San Francisco railroad sta
ton, where Deckard engaged in fight
with an Indian boy, Steve GraySOn,
and beat him into insensi'bility with
rock.
Friends of Grayson notified the po-
lice and when Policeman Klaber went
to the station, Deckard fed to his
house near by, barricaded himself in,
and when Klaber approached, Yvck-
ard shot and instantly killed him.
Sheriff Robinson gathered posse in
a few minutes and hurried to the
scene. Part of this posse was made
up of a group of negroes, whom the
sheriff commissioned as deputies. As
the posse approached the house, Deck
ard opened fire with a rife, firing as
rapidly as he could load his weapon.
The sheriff fell first, instantly killed.
Then five of the negro deputies were
slain.
Deckard's house was soon surround
ed by frenzied mob of armed men.
Fire was set to house just north of
Deckard's. Volleys were poured into
Deckard's house and he was shot
down. He was seen to roll over on
the floor strike a match and set fire
to his own house, which was soon a
roaring furnace, in which his body
was baked Deckard evidently had a
large quantity of ammunition storeo
in his house, for many cartridges ex-
ploded while the house was burning.
Governor HASKELL, at Guthrie, was
notified of the battle and of the bad
feeling between whites and negroes
that had grown out OF It, and threat
ened a race riot The governor at
once ordered the military company at
Muskogee to prepare to go to Okmul-
gee if needed.

Prohibition Does Not Prohibit.

ways and means. l. was apparent,
too, that the liquor interests are, on
