JOURNEY FROM
FAR OFF TO WE'D
In CHICKASHA

Realizing that it is not good for
man to live alone, two love-lorn
SWANS, one hailing from the fast
nesses of Ozark-traversed Miller coun-
ty, Missouri, and one from the undu-
lating plains of Montana. journeyed
hitherward Saturday afternoon to
meet, WOO and wed two whom they had
hitherto known only through sweet
toned and sweeter scented epistles.
The ladies. each hailing from the
land of the setting sun, far removed
from the quiet city of Chickasha--far
to the westward of the rugged Rock
les, arrived simultaneously with their
Beau Brummels and accompanied
them to the happiness license bureau,
where the smiling and accommodat-
ing clerk in charge handed each
couple the necessary and lawful per-
init which conveyed to preacher or
justice the sanction of the land to
weld four hearts into two.
Following the marriages the pair Of
happy twains-now united It'll death
do US part" left Chickasha for their
future homes-one in the sunset west,
theo ther in the show me- state.

Remains Of Lad are Found in Shall
low Grave Within Two Feet
Of Place Mad Man Said
He Buried His Cousin
ANOTHER MAN
KILLED, TOO?
Vague Rumors from Section Eleven
Miles Northwest Of Minco
Declare Stranger Dis
appeared MysteriousIy

The Skeleton of Oscar Stephens. the
youth Ed. Stephens confesses to
have killed four years ago and buried
in corner of his cornfield, was un-
earthed at o'clock today. All that
was left of the body was found within
two feet of where the man now in
the Grady county jail said he buried
his cousin after he stabbed him to
death with paper knife at midnight
four years ago.
Thus is established the fact that
Stephens really did kill his cousin.
then brooded over the fact for four
years until he was driven to insanity,
then to confession. ~. !.
The question now arises, was there
another victim?
Vague runlors reached town this
morning that another man disappear
ed from the same locality at about
the same time that the Stephens
youth was killed. No information was
obtainable as to who the man was or
what were the circumstances OF his
disappearance. Officers likewise
heard the rumors this morning and are
investigating the matter while in the
north part of the county.
The message from the party that
searched for the body stated that the
skeleton was found buried three feet
deep, just as it had been dropped into
grave too short for the tall man.
The only reason the confessed homi.
eide did not find the body last Thurs
day when he himself gasped the spade
from the sheriff and aided in the
search is that he did not dig quite
deep enough. Dirt washed onto the
place from farther up the hill, and the
man declared that every detail of the
depth of the grave and its exact loca-
tion remained with him as if the whole
thing were enacted yesterday.
Stephens, at the county jail. has not
yet been told of the success of the
party. He was in wild state this
morning, after being told that the
party were going to the scene, and the
taller feared to tell him anything of
it until the sheriff arrived. 1t is ex-
pected that he will be confronted with
the question of the other strange dis
appearance when he is told of the
finding of the skeleton.
1t is still unknown what will be
done with the man whose deeds have
driven him to madness. 1t is thought
board af sanity will pass upon the
case, and that he will probably be
sent back to Norman.
The party is expected to return from
the scene of the killing, burial ana
excavation late this afternoon 1t was
said that the body would probably be
re-interred on the spot.

located at Kemp. Tex several days
ago and taken to Dallas where the wo-
man, who Is but sixteen years old, was
taken to the detention home, while

When aprpehended by the officers
Gonzales and the woman had had a
marriage ceremony performed, it is

Owing to the extreme youth of the
woman. it is stated, it is not probable
that she will be prosecuted for bigamy.
Long, the womans father, has told
the officers here weird story in which
