WEEDS CONVICT; NOW
WORKS To FREE HIM
Bride Hopes to Gain Pardon For
Her Husband, a 'lifer"-First
Occurrence In Oklahoma.

McAlester, Okla Love laughs at
prison bars" Is an old saying that was
given practical demonstration at the
Oklahoma state penitentiary. Eta
Martin, a pretty young Spanish girl
from St Louis, became the bride Of
John Cieloha, Bohemian, who is serv-
ing life sentence for murder.
1t is the first sentence on record
where a life term convict was permit
ted to marry and the third case of
marriage In which an Oklahoma pris-
oner appeared as principal.
The first case was that Of q trusty,
who married before marriage license
clerk or officiating minister knew of
his record. In the other case the cere-
mony took place In the warden's Office.
but the bridegroom held a parole in
one hand.
The young bride Of John Cieloha ex-
poets to bring about the release OF her
husband through pardon or parole.
IF he hadn't escaped from the peni-
tertiary he would have stood a much
better chance" suggested a newspaper
man in talking with the newlyweds
shortly after their marriage.
"But If he hadn't escaped wouldn't
have found him." was the quick reply
Of the young wife.
The persistence with which she DUR
sued her demand for marriage with a
convict leads one to believe that she'll
keep her word as to freeing him
Cieloha was charged with being ac-
cessory to the murder Of David Con-
way, an aged bridge keeper on the
Midland Valley railroad, near Ausko-
gee, seven years ago. Conway was
found beaten to death, presumably by
robbers.

Later on 1 read 'Evangeline,' and my
heart went out to the poor woman and
her lover, but all Of these things are
nothing compared to what went on In
Turkey under my own eyes. I do not
want to give too many narrowing pic
lures, but will say that have been
requested to state that most Of the
stories that have reached the United
States are founded on facts.
1.-The Armenians were living Just as
quietly and peacefully as possible, in
friendship and close contact with their
Turkish associates, when suddenly
they were picked out to be deported.
1t was then that my heart bled for
them. had been given the privilege
Of dispensing charity without stint and
with full authority on behalf Of the
English, Russian, French and Italian
nations-even the Servians had sent me
money, and Russia and Italy permit
ted me to help the poor Montenegrins
In my charge. Suddenly, without avail
able funds, was confronted with the
terrific problem of the destitute Ar
menians- Can you conceive how felt?
1t was then that sent an appeal to the
secretary of state for help, and the re-
spouse came promptly.
IF the people of the United States
could only see the distress as 1 have
seen it! If they could see the gaunt lit
tie figures of children, the little or
phans brought to Constantinople by
friendly Turkish officers, the need of
prompt aid would be fully realized. If
L dared repeat the tales have heard.
sworn to and signed, they would make
men and women weep, and every one
would see the need of sympathy and
help.
There Is no use Of accusing anybody
or finding fault with any one. What
this great country should do to show
Its appreciation of the wonderful bless
fngs that have been showered upon us
Is for each one Of US to make ND his
mind to do his share.
We are the only people to whom
they can appeal for help today, the
only people who dare express their
sympathy by actual giving. The peo-
pie OF other nations are afraid and nm
able to do it,

him. As a result Of Corporal Rock
wells exploit he has again been men
toned in dispatches.
Lieutenant Thaw's machine received
several bullets. One Of these hit him
on the elbow, breaking the small bone.
Nevertheless he made a perfect land
ing, wondering whether he was within
the German lines until he was relieved
by seeing two French soldiers come
running up. He is now in Paris, where
he will stay until his arm is better.
The injury is not severe. He has al
ready been promoted to a full heuten-
ancy and is now proposed for the LIE
gion Of Honor. His victory over the
Fokker is likely to assure his receiving
the honor.
Corporal Chapman engaged two Avi-
atiks and put them to flight. An e1-
plosfve bullet hit his machine, and an
other grazed his arm, not wounding
him. He has been proposed for men
ton In the order Of the army.
Lieutenant Cowdin had two fights,
one resulting in the downing Of Sec
ond aeroplane. He has been proposed
for promotion to a second neutenancy.
Bert Hall was actively engaged In the
melee and has been proposed for the
military medal.
The squadron's French captain and
lieutenant were also hotly engaged
The fight was remarkable In that It
happened for the most part at no great
height-between 1000 and 1000 me-
tiers. Norman Prince had the bad luck
to smash his machine in starting and
was unable to take part In the battle.
Private Lufbury has arrived at the
front to join the squadron. and Private
Pavelka is under orders to join it.
Fred Prince, Willis Haviland Of Chi
cago and Robert Rockwell Of Cincin-
natl have received brevets and have
gone to finish their schooling as avia-

LITTLE TOWN IN OHIO
h PLAINLY ON The MAP
Clyde Has Several Claims to Dis.
tinction In Connection With
Country's Wars.

Sandusky, O.-The village Of CLYDE,
fourteen miles southwest Of this CITY,
was the home not only of the highest
ranking officer killed during the civil
war, but also Of the first American
killed in the Spanish-American war,
It has the distinction also of being the
nucleus of what Is now the Women's
Relief corps. General j. B. McPher
son, killed at Atlanta In the civil war,
and George B. Mack, the first Ameri-
can killed in the Spanish-Amezican
war, are both buried there.
According to Joel Elliot Of Clyde.
Mrs. Hattie Mcpherson, aunt Of Gen
eral Mcpherson, organized the first
Ladies' Aid society after the civil war
began, and it was from the Ladies Aid
society of the sixties that the Women's
Relief corps of the present day Gsw
Elliot says further that army rec
ords at Washington will show that in
proportion TO population, more men
enlisted at Clyde for both the civa and
Spanish-American wars than from any
other place of its size in the United
States.
President Garfield was to have been
the principal orator at the unvefling
Of the Mcpherson monument when.
On Saturday, July 2, 1881. he left the
White House to go to the seaside to
spend Sunday with his family before
proceeding to Ohio and was shot while
waiting for his train.

which has its breeding grounds in the
Commander islands, belonging to Rus

belonging to the United States. OF
these the latter is much the larger.
The Pribilof islands are government
property, and thus it happens that
the United States government finds
itself the owner OF by far the most
valuable herd OF fur seals i'll the
world. This unique bit of property
has been a source of much tribula-

DYING STORY OF ATTACK,

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 29.-While
acting as a member of a sheriff's posse
hunting a team of horses that had been
stolen from his father, Alvie Wright, of
Greenwood, (Yankton indian agency,
was shot and killed. The indications
are that he committed suicide.
Other members of the posse reached
him before he died. In a brief state
ment, ne declared that a man named
Charles Howell had appeared suddenly
from behind O. haystack and had shot
him.
The police have a~scertained that
there is such a man as Charles Howell,
but that he had not been at Greenwood
or vicinity for more than a year. No
evidence a been found that he had
returned at the time of the shooting.
Wright was shot and killed by a .32-
caliber bullet, the caliber of a revolver
which he carried a the time. 1t also
was found that n of the cartridges in
he weapon had been discharged.
Powder marks around the wound also
indicated that he had been shot at close
range.
The police have ascertained that
Wright, while in Sioux City, a few
weeks ago, claimed to have beer shot.
This has given rise to the belief in
some quarters that his mental faculties
had become impaired.
