retOrted some acrimonious. Bill was
not polite. Diplomatic relations were
busted, and one of us called the other
a liar. l don't remember which one
1t was, but that makes no difference
now.
The room was full of the boys
some playing cards and some at the
bar, where Three Fingered Pete and
Dutch Henry were serving drinks
When Bill and stepped back and
dropped our hands to our guns, they
all respected our feelings and acted
according. Dutch and Pete Topped
to the floor behind the bar. Seven or
eight OF the boys broke for the safe.
Now. make no mistake but you
won't, because you knew those boys.
They wasn't afraid; you couldn't
scare those fellows. But they had
sense. If Bill and had difference
of opinion, that was our business, not
theirs. And If we wanted to settle
it by shooting holes in each other,
that also was our business. So they
ducked.
l knew there wasn't any use trying
to fool around and shoot Bill in the
leg or arm. I'd seen Bill shoot when
he thought he had to shoot, and under
those circumstances Bill shot straight
and quick, mind you, mighty quick.

twisted up in little knots In about FIVE
seconds more, and would have prob
ably done something foolish and Bill
would have ported me, but just before
blew up a voice at the saloon door
said: "Hellov' soft and sweet, and
"retardo" on the 10"
Now, II that had been "a mans
voice neither of us would have paid
any attention to 1t, or else we would
have both turned in and licked the
everlasting daylights out of him for
interfering with two gentlemen who
were trying to settle scientific differ
ce-according to how mad we were.
But 1t wasn't. On the contrary, quite
the reverse. saw Bills glance waver,
and i knew Bill couldn't shoot man
that wasn't looking, any more than he
could wear a stiff collar; so, my curl

Accuses Jurors and Federal

WOULD QUASH CHARGE
Wants No Jurors from Muskogee County
Conspiracy, He Says, on the
Part Of Some Of the
Members.


NIuskogee, Aug ls.-~The attorneys for
Governor Charles n. Haskell and the five
other defendants, indicted in connection
with The alleged Aiuskogee town lot
frauds, have 6led motions in the federal
court here to quash the indictments, set.
ting forth a number Of sensational alle-
cations. Aside from charges against five
grand jurors and the allegation Of inn
proper conduct on the part Of the United
states marshal, Grant Victor the ale.
cations deal largely with the grand
jury's selection, with especial objection
10 the exclusion Of Muskogee county, the
home Of the defendants, from the terri.
tory from which the jury was chosen.
It is alleged that George W strawn,
J. II. Dixon. J, C. Burgess, A. G. Dumas
and W. 7 Bailey, members Of the grand
jury which indicted the defendants de-
Iiberatsly sought to go on that jury
with view to returning indictments
that strawn, as foreman, conspired to
intimidah the other jurors into voting
indictments, after they had refused to
DO So. The motion insists that foreman
strawn repeatedly told Che jurors thes
