Senator Teller Introduced u 1)111 isiu-
powerlng the secretary of the Interior
to uilil ton more ullotees to theseventy
supposed residents in tlu Cherokee
strip iiml provided (or In tin- original
agreement.
The senator stated to the corres-
pondent tluit lie had been requested to
introduce the bill by some parties who
claim that there tire eighty actual resi-
dents on the strip instead of seventy.
If till statement Is true he added
the surplus ten ought to be provided
for.
He suggested to the committee on
Indian affairs to which the bill was
referred that the matter be placed be-
fore the r-eeretury of the Interior and
action based entirely on his recommen-
dation. The fact Is Important becuuse
of the townsite efforts It embraces unit
also the cause of possible delay it may
force In the matter of opening the
strip to settlement. Should the secre-
tary favorably recommend the bill it
will pass the senate but cannot even
be Introduced In the house until one
week from Monday. The strip cannot
be opened to settlement until all of
the supposed settlers have been lo-
cated. Smith' llUiliilmir.

The

Till lliniua ('Hat-.
Ill the supreme court yesterday thr
curtain went down on the last act in
the case of the Territory of Oklahoma
vs. I. N. Terrlll for the murder of old
man Embree at the land olllce over two
ye.trs ago.
The story of this fearful crime Is too
well known to need repeating The
attack on the victim by two armed
brothers the nwfnl struggle for life
mid the hellish viudlctlveutss of I. N.
Terrlll as he ttood over the murdered
man and continued to snap his empty
revolver at the Inanimate form are
features of this case that all are fumtl
lar with.
Hut the trial. The murderer bus
never doubted for one moment but
that he would go clear. This belief
wus strengthened to almost a cer-
tnlnty when tliu tlrst trial resulted In
the jury disagreeing. Hut there was
one mini Col Thomas Jones county
attorney of Logan county tit the time
of the murder Hm had reglsteretl an
ntth thai justice should be done and
lie followed Terrlll like a Nemesis
and never once faltered In his belief
that Imv and right would ultimately
triumph. At the second trial the ury
found Terrlll guilty und fixed the pen-
alty tit Imprisonment for life.
'JVriill Mil" - managed to be lib-
erated oil bond Immediately took uu
appeal to the bupntliir court but al-
though his attorneys mitilc every ef-
fort uml bitterly contested cu-ry
iinltit. yet the Iron hand of the law
had u tlrm hold on the malefactor ami
the decision vindicated the prosecu-
tion and the prison doors will open
nud reclve I. X. Terrlll forever.
There yet remains Dave Terrlll who
ha so far man iimhI to evade u trlul.
He Is out on bond ami will undoubted-
ly be tried soon .lust what part he
played In the tragedy will then be tie
ttdopyd for while lie i)l.l not lire tie'
fatal shots he was engaged In a
fearful struggle with the victim at tl e
time they were llred and if it should
develop on his trial that this was his
part of a premeditated scheme to de-
stroy Kmbrcc his brother will un-
doubtedly have his company in prl-am
and both will expiate their crime be-
neath the same prison roof.
The conviction of I. N. Terrlll will
hate u salutary effect and serve as n
warning to evil-doers that human life
Is sacred and will be protected here in
this territory the same as In older
communities; and he who sheds the
Innocent blood of his fellow mini can-
not hope to escape the full penalty of
his misdeeds.

should have Issued treasury bills to
