The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1912-06-14

During the year 1911 the federal
government spent $1,3OS,O29.9S in the
management of the affairs of the Five
Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma. OF this
amount the government appropriated
1,034, ,0239S In other words, the re-
publican gang of carpet bag agents
and political pirates are spending an
nually half as much to meddle with
the affairs of our Indian citizens as
the democratic administration spends
in governing Oklahoma. We expect
no defense of such maladministration
for the republicans know full we'll that
Ino defense is possible. We do not
expect the robbery to be justified, for
the robbery admits of no justification.
No excuse is forthcoming, for an ex-
cuse would only advertise the infamy.
Some of the brigands who live at the
expense of honesty may offer an apol-
ogy for such shameless protiigacy, but
we seriously doubt if the matter is
mentioned in the republican press. 1t
will doubtless be the policy of the pi-
rates to be silent, to grin, and to
steal. The bureau of Indian affairs
has long been the politica linfirmary
of the republican party Every re-
pudiated village boss, every down-and-
out ward heeler of the organization
has been taken care Of in the Indian
bureau. OF the motley rabble who
range the east side, it may be said that
no more rapacious gang ever scuttled
a ship or cut throat They flourish,
ed through all those outraged years
preceding statehood, and before the
victory of democracy in Oklahoma ex-
torted from all citizens, white and red
alike. The advent Of statehood term
mated the misgoverning of the white
race, but in no sense lightened the
burden of the red. They are today
enduring the same infamies undergone
by the white race before statehood.
No wonder a federal court decided that
large part OF the Indian lands is
non-taxable. The machine needs ali
the revenue the Indian can raise to
maintain the rascally Indian bureau

CASE IS ENDED
Mrs. Minnie streight, Who Killed

ted Yesterday.

GATESVILLE, Tex, Feb 10
One of the most noted criminal
cases IN the courts Of Texas came to
a elimination here Saturday. when
Mrs. Minnie Lee streight OF Nc
Gregor, who on June eighteenth,
nineteen hundred and ten. shot and
killed her husband, T. r. streight,
editor of the McGregor Mirror, was
pronounced not guilty by the jury,
and a long drawn out and a much
prolonged trial came to its final
end.
The history Of the trial of the
case runs through the period Of
two years and has attracted vast
amount Of attention from people all
over the state of Texas, and In fact
all over the United States, and has
been prolonged from trial to trial
until today, when the decision was
rendered Mrs. Streight a free wo-
man.
On the night Of June eighteenth,
nineteen and ten, while her husband
was lying in his bed, Mrs Streight
shot and killed him at their home
in McGregor. Her plea was that of
cruelty done her and that her hus-
band tried to kill her.
In November, nineteen ten, I'm the
trial at Waco, a life sentence in the
penitentiary was given Mrs. Streight
but the court of Criminal. Appeals
granted a new trial. which resulted
in today's acquittal.
The state tried to prove in the
trial that Streight was murdered
while he was asleep in bed, while
the defence tried to prove that
Streight was trying to kill HIS wife
Judge Richard Munroe, at the ha-
beas corpus hearing refused the de-
fendent bond, but the presiding
Justice, w. L. Davidson OF the court
OF Criminal Appeals heard the tes'
tlmony and granted bond in the sun
OF $4,000, whereupon the people OF
McGregor hanged him In efhgy. Az
ter a new trial was granted the case
was transferred to coryell county.
