WARM RECEPTION GIVEN
YOUNG WEIGH BENEE|CT

The Welch-man who dares to COM
NIT the crime of matrimony is dealt
with, according to some Vinitans who
witnessed the punishment of such a
criminal yesterday, in a way which
ought to make that town a bowling
wilderness from the standpoint of min
listers whose wives are dependent on
marriage fees for millinery.
Hugh Dobkins was married in Fay
etteville short time ago, and returned
home to Welch with his bride yester-
day. The town was waiting for them
at the station. So was the band. When
the victims descended from the train
the band began to play and the rice
to fall. (No pun intended Hughie
intended to take cab, but the crowd
had made other arrangements. The
nuptial chariot was an old spring wa
gon, into which mule had been har-
messed Neither groom nor bride was
WllllHS W dululJ that ptdCllCG III diiN-
ing such an animal was necessary to
the happiness of the new family. so
the mule was led up the street by the
halter when Hughie and Mrs. Hugh
had mounted the seat, and the baggage
was slowed on behind.
The procession ought to have been
headed by a platoon of mounted po-
lice. That's the way they do it in
Chicago. Next after the space left
vacant by the missing platoon came
the band, playing See the Conquer
ing Hero Comes" A procession of
girls fell in behind the chariot, carry
ing banners with such mottos as; II
Wanted Him." "All Off Now" $50
Hugh is Married at Last, Thank Good
ness" The Vinitans followed the pro
cession long enough to get into the
official photograph, and then dropped
out. We haven't heard what happen
ed after that.

YOUNG AVIATOR
DASHED TO DEATH
Attempted to Give Spectators at Den
yer an Extra Thrill in His Most
Daring Spiral Glide.

Denver, Colo, Nov 1S.-With one
wing tip of his machine crumpled like
piece of paper, Ralph Johnstone, the
brilliant young aviator, holder of the
worlds altitude record, dropped like
a plummet from a height of 500 feet
into the inclosure at Overland Park
aviation field yesterday afternoon and
was instantly killed.
When spectators reached him his
body lay beneath the engine of the BIZ
plane with the white planes that had
failed him in his time of need wrapped
about 1t like a shroud. Nearly every
bone in his body was broken.
Fresh from his triumphs at Belmont
park, where he had broken the worlds
record for altitude with fight OF
9,714 feet, tombstone attempted to
give the thousands of spectators an
extra thrill with his most daring feat
the spiral glide, which has made the
Wright ayiators famous The fatal
flight was the second Johnstone had
made during the afternoon. In the
first flight, when he was in the air
with Hoxsey and Brookins, he had
gone through his usual program OF
dips and glides with the machine ap
lparently under perfect control. Then
Johnstone rose again and, after a few
circuits of the course to gain height
headed toward the foothills. Still as
lcending, he swept back in a big circle
and as he reached the north end of the
enclosure he started his spiral glide
He was then at an altitude of 800 feet
With his planes tilted at an angle Of
almost 80 degrees he swooped dowr
in narrow circle, the aeroplane seem
ing to turn almost in its own length

EVEN SEX Of VICTIM
CANNOT BE DETERMINED
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 18.-An inquest is
to be held today on the body, found
yesterday in an hermetically sealed
trunk in cellar at Forty-Fourth
street apartment. Even the sex of the
victim is unknown. The five years or
more, which the body is supposed to
have remained hidden, has reduced it
almost to skeleton. From the small
ness of the bones authorities believe
it was woman. The body was found
by Phillip Meagher, who after eight
years residence there prepared yes
terday to move from the apartment
and opend the old trunk. The body
was jammed in tight and surrounded
by plaster of paris and newspapers.
The only clue to the identity was the
name "W. Lewis" on outside of the
trunk. Six years ago Lewis boarded
with Meagher The newspapers in
the trunk were dated from February
IS to April II, 1902.
At the morgue the coroner's physi-
clan made an examination of the body
and found it to be man. The surgeon
declared the victim had been placed
III the trunk still alive and that death
resulted from asphyxiation.

SURPRISE SPRUNG
IN K|CKAPOO CASE
Mexican on Stand Gives Good Testi-
money For Defense-Declares
Taking of Deeds Legal.

Guthrie, Okla, Nov. 1S.-The case
Of the Republic of Mexico asking the
extradition of the four Oklahomans,
w. l.. Chapman, AL Brown and r. G.
Conine of Shawnee and d. c. Grimes
Of Harrah for alleged Kickapoo frauds
is apparently totterjng.
The defense has already had ex-
ceptional good luck in discrediting
nearly every important witness for the
Republic of Mexico, usually by MAX
ing the witnesses confess that they
had sworn on other occasions to mat
ters directly opposite to their testi-
mony here.
And yesterday the cause of the de-
fense was much further strengthened
and the prosecution taken completely
by surprise when distinguished look
ing man of foreign expression walked
into the court room, accompanied by
a slight, pleasant and exceedingly
we'll dressed young fellow, and was
called to the stand by the defense.
He was Judge Francisco Valdes
Llano, from 1902 to 1909 judge of the
first court of letters, district of Mont
clova, state of Coahuila, who had Of
ficiated at the Acknowledgement of
all the deeds alleged to have been
forged in 1906 and who had just ar
rived from Mexico to testify for the
defense.
The fact is he had been here two
days, but had been i'll and had not
left his room, so that the prosecution
might be the more dumfounded, and
it was. The young man was with his
brother, who speaks English and is a
very fine fellow all the way round.
Judge Llano proved an exceptionally
good witness for the defense. Though
he does not speak English, his appear
ance is that of man of force and
character and education and his testi-
mony, as interpreted by Federal Sen
ator Berazaluce, appearing here for
Mexico, was very plain and to the
point.
He testified that all the deeds ac-
knowledged before him were regular
and taken regularly; that every In
dian whose name was signed to the
deed by mark had touched the pen
and expressed his willingness to sell /;
that the names of all Indians refusing
to sell had been recorded to guarantee
that no deed to their land should be
approved; that he did not permit
deedse to be executed unless sure pro-
ceedings were regular; that each deed
was explained to the Indian in the
presence of the court and the name of
each Indian touching the pen called
aloud, so that if he were not in fact
that Indian, other Indians assembled
would protest.

CHARITY TALKS At
G0MME ERC|AI GIIIR
OOitttti6tIUIIfG OIOg
Regular Weekly Meeting is Devoted to
Discussion of Organization of
Association in County.

Addresses were made by Dr. j. II.
Stolper, e. ]. Hobby and ex-Judge Gill
at the Commercial Club last night. and
the president was authorized to ap-
point committee of ten, five gentle
men and five ladies to solicit members
for the Craig county conference of
charities and correction, at $500 per.
| 1t is hoped to secure 400 members in
the county. From these membership
fees are to come the funds for the en-
Itertainment of the state conference in
Vinita next April.
The Civic Club had been invited to
attend the meeting. Ladies made up
nearly one-half of the audienve. Before
the addresses, the Vinita quartette,
composed of Mr.. and Mrs. Gaylord Be-
bout, Rev. o. Davis and Miss Huggins,
rendered an attractive musical pro-
gram and Harry Swartz gave a recita-
| tion.
President Wilson introduced Mr..
Hobby as the first speaker 'The In
sane of Our State" was the topic as
signed to him.
Mr.. Hobby said in part:
MANY believe that Americans are
most strongly appealed to by the
money consideration. From that
standpoint I wish to remind you that
the institution already planted in our
midst is no bagatelle. The legislature
has already appropriated $250,000 but
that is only the beginning. If we show
the proper spirit, there is reason to be
lieve that more than s1,5OO,O00 will
be expended by the taxpayers of Ok
Iahoma in the city Of Vinita."
Following Dr. Stolpers' address
Judge Gill gave some idea of the in.
terest and importance of the confer.
fence of charities and correction which
The had attended in Muskogee and st
Louis. "The objects of the conference
touched upon the reclamation and up.
building of fallen and diseased human.
ity, the best methods of organized care
for the destitute, for reclaiming Grim
inals, for rearing the orphan and youth
of our state, the education of our chill
dren and of the deaf and dumb and
blind, the care and recovery of the in
sane, in fact everything almost was
touched upon, which appeals to the
humanitarian side Of life
| In closing, Judge Gill appealed tc
those present to forget for the time
being that dollars and getting of dol
lars is the chief object in life, and tc
join in seeing that the coming confer
ence is made one of the memorable
events in the civic life of Oklahoma.

An examining physician for one or

made the astonishing statement that
the reason why so many applicants for
insurance are rejected IS because kid

lean people. and the large majority OF
applicants do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
He states that judging from his own
experience and reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has probably been more successful in
relieving and curing these diseases
than any remedy known The mild

WOMAN'S LIFE IS
PRICE OF ORGY
Aged Mrs. Julia Cary Beaten to
Death and Body Found in
Vacant Lot
John D. Knapp, Stableman, Is
jailed When GrewsOme Eyi-
Is Discovered in Room

Battered and beaten almost beyond
Cary, s5 years of age, who lived
in refugee shack in the Potrero dis
trict, was discovered In a vacant lot
next to the Savoy theater in McAllister
street early yesterday morning. After
brief investigation John d. Knapp,
a former convict, was arrested. He has
a- room in the neighborhood and blood
stains and other evidences of a strug-
gle were found there
Knapp was among the crowd of on
lockers around the body, loudly decry
ing the foulness ofsthe crime when the
police arrived on the scene. He en-
phaticaIly denied being the slayer. but
his inability to explain. the condition
of his room and belongings resulted in
his arrest. The theory of the police
is that he and the woman had been
carouSing together and that, in q fit of
drunken temper, he beat her to death.
knapp's room is in stable at 16
Leavenworth street, and the police dis
covered clear trail from it to the
spot where the body was found. Knapp
admits the room is his. The bed cloth
ing, mattress, floor, walls and ceiling
were spattered with blood and under
the bed was found a heavy iron weight
spotted with blood and to which still
chung a number of gray hairs. Hidden
under a curtain was a blood covered
coat owned by Knapp, and twisted
about one of the buttons was wisp
of gray hair. Besides this the police
found blood stained collar and torn
tie. both of which articles Knapp said
belonged to him.
Knapp could give no explanation of
the affair. He said that he went to his
room in an intoxicated condition and
and been awakened. At this time. he
declared, he heard two men and a
woman quarreling outside the stable,
but as they moved away in a few min
utes he paid no attention to the fact.
The identification of the dead woman
was made by Mrs. Love. matron at the
central police station, who said the vic
drunkenness. At first there was a
belief that the dead woman was
Kpapps mother.
KNAPP KILLED A MAN
Knapp who is 81 years of age, was
convicted of numbering Jim Quinn, a
gambler. In Humboldt county several
years ago. He was sentenced to 81
years at San Quentin, but was released
in 1888 after serving 13 years and five
months. Knapp beat Quinn to death
with revolver in a fight growing out
of a game of cards. The police say the
man has an utterly vicious temper and
short time ago made a brutal at
tack upon an employe of the Savoy
theater, following it up two weeks ago
by desperately attacking a man named
Ike Holt in dispute over a dog.
The murdered woman was identified
also by Mrs. Murphy, a nurse at the
relief home. Mrs. Cary was discharged
from that institution September IL. The
only relatives the woman is known to
have are a nephew, Timothy Curley
and niece, Mrs. Hodwell, neither of
whom could be located. Knapp had a
wife living in this city and a son.
