Christian County Man Commits Suicide,

Hopkinsville, KY, June g.
The body of Joe Crews, aged
fifty-four years, was found hang
ing in a barn on the farm of
Charles Smith, near Benefits
town, last night.
Crews had been missing since
last Monday and the body had
evidently been hanging in the
barn ever since, as it was begin.
ming to decompose, and odor
from it is what attracted the at
tention of Charles Taylor and Mr..
Smith, who found it.
Crews used a rope hitch rein
about ten feet long, which he had
tied about a tier pole, and then
climbing on a block of wood had
fastened the rope about his neck
and kicked the block from under
him. A note was found in his
pocket, stating that his feet gave
HIM much trouble and that no
body cared for him and while be
hated to take his own life he
hoped God would have mercy
and receive his soul.
Crews was related to several
of the leading families of this
section of the county. His wife
is dead and he had no Children.
Last seen Of him was last Mon.
day when he bought some NOR
phine tablets from DIR. Gates, at
Herndon, stating that he wanted
to use them to relieve the pain
in his feet.

Hard Shedding for Indian
Contracts With McMurrav

which Mr.. McMurray and his o...
ates would claim as their own IN ,s
Of services rendered in conna.,,.
with the sale Of the coal and asnhsl
lands OF course. no such amount MN
be realized from the sale OF these lansl
but enough is known Of their yalno I
indicate their sale at figures rangi,a
from fifteen TO fifty million dollars
which would also represent a tidv a.
should the McMurray contracts maa,
with Executive Approval.
In addition Mr. McMurray and nj,
associates hold contracts with thous.
ands Of Indians for the disposal :,
communal property. These CONTRACTS
likewise will need the Taft o. K bo
fore they become binding. These also
involve a ten per cent. fee, and like.
wise involve millions.
While Mr. McMurray's prospects
are not bright at the present moment
his resourcefullness as a LOBBYIST and
his success in the past in this and other
capacities make him a formidable on.
poneht 20 the Oklahoma Congressional
Delegation which is combating this
latest raise upon the pocket-books OF
the Choctaw and Chickasaw people
II is said that Cecil Lyon, Republican
National Committeeman from Texas, Is
Mr.. McMurray's right.hand man In pro-
noting this enterprise. Mr. Lyon has
been identified with Oklahoma affairs
on previous occasions and 1t is said
always at a good profit. notably in
connection with the Choctaw and
Chickasaw Citizenship Court and
subsequent events which involve the
payment Of a seven hundred and fifty
thousand dollar fee to the law firm Of
Mansfield. McMurray & Cornish Of Nc
Alister. It is almost needless TO add
that the mysterious Mr. McMurray
was the senior member and guiding
genius Of this firm.
In a letter drawn up by Senator
Owen and signed BY every member Of
the Oklahoma Congressional Dele.
gaticn save Mr. b. s. Mcclure, who is
absent from the city, these
facts are brought out, namely-that
the fees proposed are grossly unjust.
that the work Of disposing Of the coal
and asphalt and residue property
devoles upon the Oklahoma
Congressional Delegation and is not
a matter for lobbyists.
