PETITION GOVERNOR
TO REMOVE CALDWELL

Sapulpa, Okla. Aug. 27. = A petit
tion is being circulated here which
asks that Governor Haskell shall re-
move Fred S. Caldwell, state enforce
ment attorney, from his office.
The petition is being signed freely
by friends of Prosecuting Attorney l..
B. Jackson, against whom the recent
grand jury, which heard evidence in
troduced by Caldwell, returned in
dictments charging that Jackson was
direlict in his duty as county attor-
ney.
The petition sets up that Caldwell
was guilty of misconduct in the pres
ence Of the grand jury, and during
its session, and that he preiudiced the
grand jury against the county official
by his actions.
One of the strongest accusations
which the petition carries against
Caldwell is that he "cussed little"
in the grand jury room. Considering
that Governor Haskell himself "cussed
a little" many would consider it
strange should he take action against
Caldwell, even should it be proved
that Caldwell used strong and express
sive English.
The application of Caldwell for the
of Jackson from the office
of county attorney, is to have hearing
in Guthrie before Justice Jesse Dunn
Of the supreme court Thursday after
noon.
Dunn heard the testimony but with
held his decision.

COLDLY TELLS OF
FATHERS MURDER
Hatred Of Mrs. Nettie Brown For Hus-
band Prominently Brought out
at Preliminary.

Pawhuska, Okla, Aug. o. = As
though he We're relating the most com
monplace story, Alvin P Brown, q.
years old, self-confessed murderer of
his father, H. P. Brown, during the
preliminary examination of his step
mother and Bert and Cora Brumheld
yesterday recounted in moderate
tone and with a stoical countenance
the details of the tragedy that took
place near Fairfax the morning of
April 81, 1909. Ruby Waters, niece
of Mrs. Brown, was the only other inn
portant witness of the day.
Young Browns confession contain
ed nothing that the county attorney
had not previously been told. Shortly
after midnight in their camp, twelve
miles from Fairfax, Mrs. Brown awoke
Alvin, pointed to the boys sleeping
father and said; NOW, kill him." AL
win seized an adj and sunk it in his
fathers skull. Then he and the wo-
man threw the body into brush heap
and it was burned.
Alvin and Mrs. Brown had been on
intimate terms for year She had
promised to marry him If he would get
rid of his rather He committed the
crime and he told about it yesterday
without twitching nerve, blush of
the cheek or a swerving from single
detail, and under most rigid cross
examination.
The hatred Of Mrs. Brown for her
husband was prominently brought out,
'T'lI give you $500 and mule If you'll
kill him. the boy said she told him
one day, but he refused. But he was
enamored of her, hypnotized by her,
as it were, and when she promised to
make him her husband, he was willing
to do the foulest of deeds.
And the while Mrs. Nettie Brown
sat beside her lawyer and before the
witness and listened to the story with
the utmost compunction. The court
room was crowded with people who
craned their necks to see her, but
she was as COO. as her lawyer, as
heartless as the youth wno mopped
the perspiration from his brow and
continued, hour after hour, his mar
ration of the details of the tragedy

Guthrie, Okla, Aug. 27. - United
States Attorney John Embry has filed
suit in the United States circuit court
on behalf of the government against
the Midland Valley Railroad company,
asking that the 1898 acres Of land
taken by the Midland Valley road at
Skiatook for townsite and railroad pur-
poses be returned to the government
lor re-alIotment by the Usage Indians.
Under the terms of the act of con-
gress granting the road right-of-way
through the Usage reservation, the
company was granted the privilege Of
taking forty acres of land at stations
for terminal facilities, etc. At Skia-
took the company took 1898 acres on
the Usage Indian reservation and the
balance in the Cherokee Nation. The

vation was never used, it was taken
up. The government now seeks to re-
cover TINS part of the forty-acre tract
on the ground that it is not used for
railroad purposes. Skiatook is located
