HE KILLED HIS MAN.
Sheriff GHatton Now Claims Reward
From Governor.

The governor has referred the mat
ter of the paying of another reward
Tor dead laWbreaker to the attorney
general. The first case was that of
Earl Bullock, The Eudora robber, who
killed himself The last case is that
In which Sheriff Hatton of Cherokee
county killed Fom Hicks, murderer, in
an effort to capture him.
Hicks killed Mrs. Isley down in
cherokee and then made his escape
into Oklahoma. The governor offered
state rewarS of 5000 for Hicks cap
ture and conviction. Sheriff Hatton
went down into Oklahoma after the
bad man and found him in the town
of Carney. He covered Hicks with a
revolver and told him to throw up his
hands. Hicks reached for his own
gun and was shot dead by the Kansas
sheriff. A coroner's jury exonerated
4atton from any penalty of the law
for his act.
Now Hatton wants the reward offer
ed on Hicks. In his telegram to Hat
ton at the time of the murder last fall
the governor stated that the 5000
would be paid for the capture of
Hicks, and no mention was made
therein about the conviction. Hutton
captured his man on the dead or alive
theory and would seem to be entitled
to the reward. as there was never any
doubt but that the dead man was
Hicks.

STORAGECOMP ANY
Must Pay for Goods That Were Re
pIeyined and Stored.

Mrs. Susie Peck of NARROW, Okla,
has secured a judgment for $50 and
$75 damages in the Shawnee district
court against the Merchants Transfer
and Storage company of this city for
storing goods replevined here by an
Oklahoma bank holding a chattel
mortgage on them. The suit occupied
the court the greater part of two days
and the jury's verdict makes a prece-
dent which will be tried out in the
supreme court unless a new trial is
granted.
Mrs. Peck is the mother of Glenn
Peck, who was famous throughout the
new state as the youngest telegraph
operator, having been able at the age
of four to handle Western Union bust
ness I over the wire. Mrs. Peck is now
the w. q. agent at NARROW. Before
she was divorced from her husband,
n. B. Peck, Western Union agent at
Watonga, Ok, she assisted him in his
work. In that office with father and
mother, Glenn SO early became prof.
cient. 1t was while Mrs. Peck lived
with her husband at Watonga that the
household furniture was mortgaged
at the First National bank of that
city. Leaving her husband in the
midst of lively scandal in the little
town, Mrs. Peck fed sometime last
September. shipping the mortgaged

case and the furniture was found and
replevined. The sheriff's force stored
it with the Merchants company. Some
of the articles belonged to her and
she was given the opportunity of pick
ing out what was not included in the
mortgage. An arrangement was
made, however, between Mr.. Harvey
and her attorney, H. w. Page, that
she should do that when the goods
were returned to Watonga.

Col. Roosevelt Refers to Big
Peace Gift
I'm LECTURE AT HARVARD
In Lecture on Applied Ethics, ex-Presi
dent Utters Warning, However, That
Ultimate Worth of Gift Depends
on Administration Of Same.

Cambridge Mass, Dec. l5.-In speak
inc on "appled ethics at the Noble
lecture in Sanders theatre last night,
Theodore Roosevelt touched briefly on
the building of the Panama canal the
progress OF conservation, and the move
ment toward general peace as typlhed
bv the recent fisheries decision at The
Hague.
The Noble lecture at Harvard is pro-
vided bv fund given by Mrs. William
NJ. Noble in memory Of her husband, an
Episcopal clergyman. Mr.. Rooseyeits
visit to Massachusetts was expressly tor
the lecture, although he attended meet
ing of Harvard oyerseers yesterday
morning in Boston.
Just before going on the lecture plat
form last night, Mr.. Roosevelt learned
of the Carnegie peace foundation fund.
He hailed the announcement with great
delight and was especially pleased with
the selection of Senator Elihu Root as
the permanent representative OF the
United States at The Hague.
Toward the end of his lecture, he made
special reference to the gift as proyid-
Il ing the means Of making real progress
in bringing about the results when MI
Carnegie desires to achieve. He is en-
titled to the hearty praise OF all good
citizens here said Colonel Roosevelt,
'and of all patriots in all countries"
"But remember he said, warningly,
chat the ultimate worth depends on
the good practical sense, the Judgment
and ability of the men who, administer.
ing the fund succeed in translating the
theory into action"
\ This translation Of the moral theories
of government into practice or, with the
term applied morality he sought to
illustrate by the Panama canal, under
the direction of Colonel Goethals; con
seryation as exemplitied by the labor
OF Garfield and Pirchot; and the peace
movement as furthered BY John Hay and
Elihu Root.
He declared himself in favor Of the
4 fertilization of the canal and Of a larger
navy as the best guarantee Of peace,
referring to "the foolish and shortsight-
ed people who objected to the fortify-
ing of the Panama canal and to the up
building OF the United States navy
