Tired nerves, with that "no ambi-

TWO BOLD, BAD NEGI;o MEN
Abduct a Woman and Rob Her in
Charlotte, N. G.

Charlotte, May S.--John Boyd, a
one-armed negro, who is bell boy at
the Selwyn Hotel. and Jim Wilson,
another negro hackman, have Just
been bound over under $1,000 bond
each to await trial at the next term
of criminal court on a very grave
charge-that of robbing a well-dress-
ed lady, who gives her name as Mrs.
j. M. Morgan, of Atlanta, and who
was stopping at the Buford Hotel.
Mrs. Morgan was found in the woods
near the city, wandering about in a
stupefied condition. A tenant on a
farm discovered her and summoned
the police, who have been diligently
investigating the case, with the re-
suit that sufficient evidence was
found against the negroes to hold
them on the charge above stated
According to the story told by Mrs.
Morgan, and which story is backed
up by circumstantial evidence, Mrs.
Morgan took a cab to go to the de-
pot. Instead of taking her to the
station the two negroes are said to
have held her In the carriage and to
have carried her to the woods, where
she was later found unconscious. She
says she was robbed of two diamonds
worth $1,000. DR.. Boyd was the star
witness at the trial yesterday. He
told Of finding Mrs. Morgan with her
arm badly bruised and her body bad
ly bruised. He says she was in a
dazed condition, as If she had been
doped. He further testified that he
saw In the woods where she was
found a place where a struggle had
taken place. A bottle was found
nearby aud number Of matches. A
watch charm was found near the
scene of the struggle which belonged
to John Boyd, vicious negro, bear
ing bad reputation. At this time
full details of the case have not been
ascertained, but the further the mat
ter is probed the more dastardly be-
comes the crime charged against the
two negroes. Mrs. Morgan had been
at the Buford several days and was
well dressed and Of attractive ap-
pearance.

JUDGE PIrCHFoRD ANSWERS
The Inquiries of Numerous People as
to State of Oklahoma.

laniequan, OKla., May o.-EQl-
tors Keowee Courier: / have receiv-
ed quite Z number Of letters from
parties in South Carolina asking
Saout this section Of tie new State
Of Oklahoma, and as The Keowee
Courier is taken Ger your entire
State l have taken this means of
answering.
In the first place, ! can truthfully
say that Tahlequah is one Of the
healthiest towns in the United States.
We are blessed with an abundance
of the purest spring water, one
spring alone furnishing sufficient
water for the operation of our water
works plant. We are free from ma
laria and mosquitoes. A new rail-
road is now being built, which will
give us a direct connection with st.
Louis, and when completed will be
the trunk line between that city and
all points in Oklahoma and Northern
Texas.
We are located in a dry, healthy
spot, and few towns of the popula-
ton Of Tahlequah can boast of pref
tier residences, more substantial bu-
siness blocks or more enlightened
class Of people. l sometimes feel
that Providence has blessed this
country more bountifully than any
spot in the world. Everything can
be grown here 70 perfection that can
be raised in this latitude. The coun-
try surrounding Tahlequah is per-
fectly adapted to the raising of corn,
cotton, wheat, rye, apples, potatoes,
strawberries, etc. 1t has become a
trite saying that any one who has
lived in Tahlequah will never be sat
isfied in any other place, and I am
inclined to give full credence to this
saying.
AS a health resort l am sure the
place is without a superior. When
/ first landed in the town | could
scarcely walk half a mile. l felt
that my days in this world were
drawing to speedy close. l was
suffering with both kidney and sto-
mach trouble. Soon after reaching
here, and drinking plentifully Of this
pure water, I began to improve in q
marked degree. My health has been
entirely restored and my weight has
increased from 12S to 165 pounds,
and l am still gaining. Besides that,
the longer l live here the better
like the pace and the people. We
have two excellent banks, electric
lights, water works, educational ia
cilities equal to any in the South
west, and all Christian denomina-
tions are here represented; so 1 can
truthfully say to all who have writ
ten me, that Tahlequah is one OF
the most beautiful towns in the en-
tire country; Is one of the healthi-
est, is prosperous, the people happy
and we'll disposed toward one ano-
ther, and no town in the new State
has brighter future.
Respectfully,
John II. Pitchford.

 Adviccs received here yesterday from Cotula, Texas, indicate that there is no longer any doubt of the death of John Chisholm in that place De. ccnbcr s. lis remains were inferred there December 9. No particulars of his death were given outside of the bare mention that the circumstances pointed to suicide.
 Chisholm was identified by m Elks card of the local lodge found on his person after death. The telegram stated that the dues were paid last month until April |. Secretary A. ]. IIcrndon stated yesterday that he rc. ceived the draft for Chisholm dues November 9 and that the amount rc. ceived paid until April l.
 Another part of the telegram which removes any doubt remaining in the minds of his former friends of Chis holm's identity is the description cm. bodied in the telegram.

took place, particularly the portion under which, t was alleged, the old brand lay. The matter of what scab was peeling, the fresh sore or the place where the old brand had been, caused considerable confusion especially when Spanish interpreter was brought in to tne trial The term "scab" was brought into play more frequently than in tcamstcr's strike and wound up with few knowing what was peel. ing and "raising."
 Jerry w. Sullivan, who explained that he had been in the stock business for forty years, and who also is said 10 be the original owner of the much branded colt, was the first to take the stand. The gist of his testimony was that he knew his own horse and his own brand and that finding his horse in n shipping corral at Seligman with the Wild Indian brand on it, he had n feeling of distrust though he was not naturally of suspicious disposition. This coupled with the fact that the defendant Owens had spoken meaning. ly about a certain trio of horses which he insinuated Sullivan was retaining wrongfully, led him to connect Owens with the Wild Indian sign.
 Rafel Ochoa, better known to the community as "Yaqui,p who is Sulli. vans foreman, testified that he had put the uneducatcd "J" on the bay colt when it was sevcn.day.old baby and that his iron craft had remained unchanged so far as ne knew until he found the colt grown almost to horse hood in the Scligman corral It was then he first saw the Wild Indian sign and 1t was on the right shoulder blade of the bay colt. "Yaqui" does not believe in magic. He put the trans. formation down to plain every day horse stealing.
 Christobel Moody, vacquero, testi- fled that he mad broken the bronco on Sullivan's ranch.
 Joe Young, A stockman in the Wal. lapai region, stated that he had met the defendant riding n horse with the Wild Indian sign on it. According to the witness this bit of repartee took place between him and Owens:
 |" Whose brand is thatf sez I.
 That's the Wild Indian brand,n sez Owens.

DRAW FISH HOOKS ID PROVE HORSE RUSTL|NG Expert Data Regarding Letter "J" Comes
 To Light
CFrom Tuesdav's DsilyD

In building up ease against Minor Owens, accused of stealing horse from Jerry w. Sullivan, District At torncy Robert F.. Morrison occupied the entire day with five witnesses, on the stand to show that certain colt which had once been branded with a hook "J" emphasis on the hook had been rebranded by some designing person with q device that was not a hook "J" but something that resem. bled fish gigging hook.
 The Wild Indian brand was the name usually fastened to the insignia though one witness y.clepted it Flying Indian and another referred to it as the coat of arms of the Black Kid.
 When in the neighborhood of . o'clock yesterday Judge Sloan called n recess until this morning at Q o'clock the prosecution had established the fact that n bay colt had received more than its share of branding, the last brand being the Wild Indian sign.
 Sundry other salient facts were es. tablished by the days tilting between District Attorney Morrison and coun. sel for the defense, Judge X. N. Sleeve ana Henry F. Ashurst. For instance, hook "J" is very remotely akin to n finished "J," at least in proper branding society. The finished product in the CT" line must have a top cross piece bringing 1t to re. semblance with "TJo of the mono. gramatic family. We have Attorney Ashurst to thank for this interesting piece of alphabet lore.
 The reason for establishing this dogma was that Jerry W. Sullivan, the prosecuting witness, back in the stone age of his stock herding career, mad selected the finished variety of "J" as his brand and so had it registered in the territorial brand book. During more recent ages. however, he has be- come less of stickler for form and has been using the unfashionable hook "Jo
 The cosnscl for the defense insisted that the nook "J' could not be the Sullivan brand even if he did use it and that any qnadruped that ran sround with such an unfashionable "J" had little legal rights anyway and most anyone could clap on more educated "J' or any other mark of proper culture without being law. breaker much less n horse thief
 Having worn away most of the af. ternoon with this erudite question the remainder of the time was pretty we'll taken up over what sort of covering was burned and subsequently, peeled when the designing person slapped n hot grapplins hook brand over tho old imprint of the mere hook "J" iron.
 In examining and cross examining the witnesses there was considerable am. bigujty and misunderstanding between questioned and questioners about how the grappling nook sore was acting a short time after the second branding
