Major Corzeir Suddenly Strucken
At His Home In Gushing-
Major I. N. F. Crozier dropped dead
at his home in Cushing yesterday
morning of heart trouble. Mr. Cro-
sier was about sixty years of age and
bad been for several years one of the
well known citizens of Payne county,
having been in several business con-
nections both here and at Guthrie.
He was born in Ireland in 1841 and
served in the English army for a num
ber of years, during which time it wai
his honor upon one occasion to march
before Queen Victoria. He came to
America when but prime of life
had dawned upon him, and located in
Canada, thence to the United States.
He located in Guthrie in the early
day* and was interested in tome of the
•arly business projects of that city.
For the past seven years he had bean
living in Cushing and was engaged in
the general mercantile business until
hia death. He was also a stockholder
of the Indian Territory Bank of Guth-
rie, of which bank he held the office of
vice president.
The death of Major Crozier brings
the loss of one of Payne county's most
honored and highly respected citizens
and a man who in his business dealings
was Arm and honest to all alike.

SECOID TRIAL
The Jury Failed to Agree After
Being Out Since Wednesday.
Kinofisiicr, O. T., Feb. 25— At 11
o'clock, Saturday morning, the jury in
the Walcher case, having failed to
agree upon a verdict, was dismissed
from further consideration of the case.
The jury on the last ballot stood seven
for conviction and Ave for acquittal.
The jury in the first trial stood three
for conviction and nine for acquittal.
The prosecution made a much stron-
er case at this hearing, it is said, owing
to the masterful handling of the case
by ex-Justice Bierer, of Guthrie.
It seems to be a settled fact that
Walcher is addicted to spells when he
is completely daft, while at others he
seems perfectly rational
Whether, or not. he will be given an-
other trial will depend upon the pros-
ecution which at thla time has not dis-
closed its intentions regarding the fu-
tnre of the esse.
128 LIVES LOST,
Bryan On Newspaper Influence
Pays Mr. William J. Bryan, in his
weekly paper, the Commoner: "The
influence of a newspaper, other things
being equal, will be greater if it
known who owns the paper and con
trols its policy, and that that parson
has no interests adverse to the inter-
ests of the readers."
This is doubtless true, and it may
have been based upon Mr. Bryan's ob-
servation of other newspapers, or his
experience as an editor. Certainly the
Commoner has fallen flat. Its first is-
aue caused no stir and its subsequent
editions h«ve attracted little notice.
Is it the lack of interest on the part of
the puhlic and luck of influence on the
part of the Commoner due to the fact
that the paper is known to be merely
a medium for the exploitation of Mr.
Bryan and his political theories—theo-
ries that are "adverse to the interests
of the readers?"—Republicans are
unanimous in their conviction that it
would to the bjst interests of the
county if Bryan and his revolutionary
doctrines were eliminated from Amer-
ican politics. Many Democrats agree
with this view, ami Hourly all of those
whodonot at least believe that it
would be to the best interests of the
Democratic party if lirynn should re-
tire at once and voluntarily. There is
very little hope for the ('ommoner ac-
cording to Mr Bryan's edi'ori'il view-
as to what constitutes hii influential
newspaper.—Kansas City Jinra1.

Is Latest Estimate On Rio
Janeiro Disaster.
San Francisco. Cat., Feb. 26.—So far
ss can be ascertained from reliable da-
ta 128 lives were lost in the wreck of
the Paeific mail steamer Kio de Janei-
ro. Some fishermen Saturday morn-
ing found a packet containing the pa-
pers of Purser Rooney. Among them
was the passenger list snd a bunch of
cancelled passenger tickets, and, as
there were names on th list whose
cancelled passenger tickets did not ap-
pear among those recovered, it is as-
sumed that they laid over either at
Yokohama, Kobe or Honolulu. That
they were not on the vessel at the time
she went down is certain.
The value of the cargo of the Rio de
Janeiro has not been determined, ow-
ing to the absence of important papers
but it is variously estimated at from
$300,000 to $600,000
Among some papers found floating
near the scene of disaster was a copy
of the manifest, showing all the con-
signees. The cargo consisted prin
eipally of silk, tea, rice and other
Oriental products There .van no treas-
ure aboard, as was first reported.
Of the 200 sacks of mail carried by
the Rio de Janeiro, only twelve have
come to the surface.
The investigation into the loss of the
steamer will probably bo held this
week. The inspectors are in a peculiar
position in the matter. Captain Ward,
ill" man held responsible for the nav-
igation of the steamer, is dead, and
the investigation of Pilot Jordan will
be under the direction of the state pi-
lot commissioners. The pilot com-
ini-siniicrs, who are Capta ti Lealand
the and Messrs. Alexander and Pratt, will
hold a reg ilar meeting next Monday,
but in courtesy to the government of-
ficials, the state inquiry is always held
after that of the inspectors.
JUDICIAL BILL DUD,
Speaker Henderson Issues His
Edict Against It.
Washington, D. C.. Feb. 25.—The Ok-
lahoma judicial bill, increasing the
number of members of the supreme
court of the territory from five to sev-
en and increasing the salary of each
one thousand dollars per annum is ap
parently dead so far as this congress is
concerned. Speaker Henderson has
issued an edict against the parage of
the bill on the ground that Oklahoma
has secured enough from the federal
government during the present con-
gress. He points to the fact that the
territory has received more money
from the federal government during
the Fifty-Sixth congress than any state
in the Union. In this he estimates
that in the passage of the free homes
bill the people of the territory received
an absolute gift from the federal gov-
ernment of more than 116.000,000. Fol-
lowing this came the ratification of the
Kiowa, Comancne and Apache treaty
providing for the opening up of that
reservation to settlement. The ratifi-
cation of that treaty has necessitated
the expenditure of tlOO.uOO in the sur-
veying of the lands preliminary to the
opening. When the appropriations for
the agricultural college and territorial
government and federal officers are
taken into consideration the aggregate
expenditure of national money in the
territory during the past two years
reaches the enormous sum of nearly
fl6,200,000 Although the judicial bill
would only increase the federal expen-
ditures in the territory about $25,000
per annum, and greatly expedite the
business of the courts yet General
Henderson feels that this can be de-
layed until the next congress.
