MEXICAN REFUGEE
WEDS IN MUSKOGEE
BEAUTIFUL AMERICAN GIRL ORlV.
EN- FROM HER FATHERS
RANCH - WEDS.

Driven from her fathers ranch in
Mexico after it had been looted by
bandits, Miss Jane Weller left behind
her the wild, dashing life of the plains
when she married c, Josetty, of New
York, at the home of her aunt, Mrs.
]. X. Davidson, Tuesday.
Mrs. Joseffy escaped from Mexico
about six weeks ago and came direct
ly to Muskogee. Her father is re
puted to be one of the wealthiest
ranch owners in Mexico, owning about
100000 acres of land near Musquiz
The girls husband is a prosperous
young business man whom she met
while at a fashionable boarding school
in the east three years ago.
Soon after that she went to her
fathers ranch, there to ride over the
prairie on the spirited little Mexican
ponies or to sit behind the wheel of
a luxurious American touring car.
And all the time, letters kept coming
from New York.
Then began to brew the storms of
Mexican revolution. Fearing Huerta,
not understanding Carranza, and re-
garding Villa as a cattle thief, J. H.
Weller began to view the political
situation with increasing uneasiness
He threw in his lot with Huerta One
night several months later, the rebels
attack Musquiz and Mr.. Weller and
his family sped to the border in the
big touring car The ranch was looted
Mr. and Mrs. Joseffy left immedi-
ately after the ceremony for New
York, where they will sail for Aus
tralia, there to spend their honey
moon. Perhaps-when peace again
comes to MeXico-the beautiful bride
will take her handsome husband back
10 her fathers ranch, for after all,
hat is where the romance nurtured

BOARD is RESTRAINED.
Motion for Rehearins is Filed in Fa.
miliar Oklahoma Case.

Oklahoma City, Okla, May 21.-
The present board of agriculture OF
five members, created under an amend
ment to the constitution and later
sustained after a test in the supreme
court, was again today restrained
from performing any service by the
filing OF motion in the supreme court
for a rehearing of the matter. The
action today comes from what is
known as the Elliott Perslnger fac
ton of a former board which was
by the adoption of the
by the people. A rehear-
ing is asked on the ground that the
creating the new board
was only indorsed by resolution in
the lower house of the legislature, and
the act itself never passed upon by
that body.

MASS MEETING
TUESDAY NIGHT
AFTER MANY POSTPONEMENTS
THE MEETING WILL POSITIVE
LY BE HELD.

The much-advertised mass meeting
to be held under the auspices of the
Ringing bonus committee and the
citizens committee at the opera house
will positively be held next Tuesday
night.
The committee had intended hold
ing the meeting last night, but some
of the committee were not in the city
and it was thought best to have them
all there when the meeting was held.
The principal feature of interest to
be developed at this meeting will be
the reading of the contract between
the Ringing railroad promoters and
the citizens of the city. There has
been considerable controversy over
this document, and the citizens will
be given an opportunity of hearing it
read
The bonus committee will also
make its report, showing the amount
of money collected on the bonus and
where it has been expended.
The committee especially urge that
every citizen who is interested in
this matter be present and learn first
hand how the affairs of the committee
have been conducted. The meeting
will be called to order promptly at s
O'Clock.

INDIAN BILL is LARGE.
House Ccnferees Will Insist on Reduc-
tion Of Total Appropriation.

t'oH OF lNtdI Npp'OpTldt'oH'
Washington, May 22.-Unless the
senate trims the Indian appropriation
bill, recently reported by the senate
committee, considerably it will find
hard shedding before the conference
committee, according to Representa-
tive Henry of Texas, chairman of the
house Indian committee, who will be
one of the conferees. As sent to the
house, the bill carried a total of about
500 900, but the senate committee
increased this to about $13,000,000 and
added a multitude of legislation, OBJ
jectionable to the house committee.
The Indian appropriation bill has
been convenient dumping place tor
many sessions" declared Mr.. Steph-
ems, "and it has required the great
est scrutiny to prevent them from be-
ing given legislative effect. Rather
than see the bill go through as the
senate committee has reported it, |
and the other house members of the
committee would be willing to author
ize a joint resolution, continuing for
another year the amount of the exist
ing appropriation. This has been done
in several instances.

Fighting Lasts All Night.

All during that night there was
fighting between the negroes and the
Indians, all of whom, it seemed, had
aligned themselves with other mem
bers of their race.
Religious services were held in a
little church as usual the next morn
ing. When the Indians came from the
church. the negroes were enmassed
nearby, and opened fire on them. In
this fight Williams and twelve of his
followers were killed. Many Indians
were slain. Fighting was kept up for
many days, and, according to the
story reaching here, the bodies of six
ty-fOur negroes were found. Just how
many Indians were killed probably

Indians because of his prowess at
dice.
In a game recently in which was
Nazada's father, he won all the poems
money, and then in true Guatemalan

Father is Eliminated.

AS the story goes, Christofo Zurello,
halfbreed boss of a neighboring farm,
had wanted Mazda for his son, and
was incensed when he learned she
had become the property of the negro.
According to Guatemalan Indian Gus
tom, the father of the girl was elm
mated from the matter by his unlucky
cast of the dice, so Zurello entered
into negotiations with the negro. He
offered sixty pesos for the girl. The
negro refused.
Soon after Williams left for his
work Saturday, May 8, three men ap-
peared at the shanty. 1t is said they
were Zurello, a peon named Pedro
and a half-breed Williams had occa-
sion to go to the shanty a few hours
later. Tied to a nearby tree was his
Indian girl, horribly mutilated with
knives. Just before she died, she
told him who had committed the
crime. Aiming himself, Williams be-
gan a search for Zurello, found him
and shot him to death Then he killed
Pedro and later the same day the
halfbreed.
