 The tragedy occurred near Tickfaw. in this parish. on the night of January 22 of this year. The Breeianis were taking their daughter. Mrs. Joe Everette, to their home near Tfckfaw from Livingston parish. where her hus- band had been. killed few days be- fore by Ben Kinchen. Mrs. Everette was a witness to the Killing.
 Garfield Kinchen, q brother of the slayer of. Everette. and Avery Blount. 1t is claimed. met Breeland and his family on the road near Tickfaw and according to the dying statement of Breeland. Biount fired the deadly voi- leys upon him and the two women.
 The women pleaded for their lives in vain. according to Breeland's state- ment. Mrs. Everette. finding her en- treaties for her own life useless, beg ged that the life of her young babe. which she carried in her arms. be spared. The child was found craw- ling among the bloody bodies of the slain persons soon afterwards. It died a few days after as the result of the exposure thus suffered.

How desperate is the effort of Re-
publican State Chairman, Joseph II.
Norris to dodge the responsibility to
his party for his carelessness and
neglect of the work they gave him to
do. This is purely a matter for Mr..
Norris to settle with those who are
paying him to attend to the work en-
trusted to his care and there was no
just reason for his ever mentioning
the Governors name in connection
with his success or failure. his fidelity
to duty or neglect thereof. Simply
when Norris realized that he had neg
lected his duty. he wanted to unload
on somebody and therefore his at,
tempt to blame his own negligence on
to claim that the Governor was
absent from his office in Guthrie, May
29th., when Norris now claims ne
desired to file his referendum petition
Mr., Norris attorney Hon. w. H..
Chappell, in last Sundays Capital
publishes signed letter from which
we take verbatim paragraphs as fol
lows:
The constitution requires the refer
endum petition to be filed with the
Secretary of State It does not say
anything about the committee having
in charge matter for referendum pre-
senting it to the Governor nor seeing
him at all
Very well then Mr. Chappell why
have you ever criticised the Governor
In any way in connection with your
attempted petition? If you claim you
did not have TO present it to the Gov
ernor then why have you ever men
toned that the Governor was negli
gent and absent from his post of duty
II you are correct in the above con
tention that the Governor has nothing
to do with your referendum petition.
then why have you ever mentioned his
name in connection with it?
Another paragraph from Chappel's
letter:
Secondly, Governor Haskell was
not in Guthrie on May 29th.'
This is an absolutely false state.
ment and when you say in former
interview that the Governor left Mus
kogee the afternoon of the 18th, and
went to South McAlesier and from
there to Oklahoma City on the 18th,
your statement is absolutely false.
