CENT BUYERS PROTECTED.

Muskogee, Okla, May 8.-Fed-
eral Judge Campbell here today
o yer-ruled the dem1rrers of the
defendants in the so-called Mott
Civil Creek Indian land suits,
brought by the government
against Gov. Chas. N. Haskell and
other prominent Oklahomans.
The decision, involving as it
does the legality of millions Of
dollars worth of lots, created
great CONSERVATION here. Not
only is Governor Haskell and his
associates involved in the charge
of fraud, but about 1900 subse-
quent purchasers of lots are vital
.ly interested.
Judge Campbell announces,
however, that all innocent pur-
chasers would be protected.

SATIONAL BREAK FOR LIBERTY
AT BISMARCK.

Bismarck, May II. James Pc
terson, alias Frank Thompson,
serving a two years. term for bur-
glary in the third degree, escaped
from the penitentiary yesterday
morning.
He was working in the brick
yard and had been sent to the pit
to get dirt. The officials had some
trouble in starting the machinery
and his absence was not noticed
for about half an hour, in which
time he had made his escape.

but twenty eight days to finish his
term. Posses are securing the
country and clue has been found
which will probably lead to his
capture.
