Friday that Will T. Ward, one OF the
best known Chickasaws in this por-
tion of the State. had been arrested
on the charge of killing one Seton
Hurst, tenant on Wards farm. near
Tishomingo. 1t is alleged that Hurst
was shot and killed about $3.50 on
the evening of Thursday. August IT,
as he rode horseback near Wards
home. Two bullets pierced his body.
one in the face just below the left
eye, and another in the abdomen.
Physicians say that Hursts neck was
also broken by the fall from his
horse. Mr.. Ward was arrested and
placed in the county jail, charged
with the shooting He will have an
examining trial in a few days.
Will Ward is known to practi-
cally every adult Choctaw orChick-
asaw Indian in both nations, and has
always born an enviable reputation
for uprightness of character and for
gentlemanly and pleasing demean-
or at all times. He was at one time
clerk in the Federal court, and al
so superintendent of schools for the
Chickasaw Nation. About eighteen
years ago he met with an accident
which necessitated the amputatiCn

and acquaintances in this section
are firm in their belief that he must
have been justified in whatever ac-
tion he took in the unfortunate af
fair, and will watch the outcome
with interest.

KIDD AND COKE TIE

A rather odd coincidence comes
to light in the Official returns of the
recent state primary, when it is
shown that r. L. Kidd, candidate
for the Congressional nomination in
this district in opposition to c. D.
Carter, received the same number
of votes (2,3S0) as did the defeated
defeated Republican aspirant (John
Coke) for the same nomination by
his party.

BOUGHT AUTO

Sheriff John Phillips a few days
ago invested in nice REQ touring
car, which he is driving and seems
to thoroughly enjoy. 1t looks rather
odd to see our popular young sheriff
in any other conveyance than the
buggy which he has used for years,
for John never went much on style;
even now he makes the change only
for more efficient service.

to locate the hairs of one Elizabeth
Mary Simpson. who had died In Mis-
souri, in 1901, leaving an estate val
ued at $4,000. for which there had
never been q claimant.
The article struck responsive

since It went into detail. telling how

migrating to Missouri, and various
other facts connected with her ante
