KILLING IN "CLAlM" WAR
W. A Stanford Believed to Have
Been Slain by Homestead
Rival.

LAWTON, OKLA. Early this
mornin. W. A. Stanford was
shot and instantly killed on his
claim in the Wichita mountains
near Meer's postoffice. 1t is al
legged that Henry Zeigler, who
was contesting for the claim, did
the shooting.
Zeigler and Stanford both filed
ON the same tract of. land June
Is, of last year. The papers were
handed to the register of the
land office at the same instant, he
taking Zeigler's fling papers in
the right hand and Sanford's in
the left. The United States
commissioner ruled that the
papers accepted in the right
hand should be counted as first
filed.
Stanford was not satisfied and
entered a contest for the claim.
He moved his family on the land
and lived within Il stones throw
of his rival. Trouble has brewed
between the two men since then
and it is alleged that Zeigler car
ried arms and several times
threatened the life of Stanford.
They had several quarrels after
moving upon the claim. Stan
ford leaves a wife and three
children. Sheriff Nix and an as
sistant county attorney have
gone to investigate the shooting
and to take Ziegler into custody.
