[From Wednesday's Daily|
While riding to the G. A It. picnic
grounds last evening at about 805
o'clock Mr. Stewart the well known
carpenter and builder was thrown
violently from his seat beside the
driver of the vehicle and instantly kill-
ed.
The statement of Mr. R. C Aulder.
oieof the owners of the vehicle as
told before the jury tells the story of
tlie accident as it occured. Mr. Alder's
statement is as follows:
“Mr. Kinkuid and 1 are running a
wagon for the purpose of transferring
passengers to and from the picnic
grounds. This evening about nine
o’clock, we were loading up our wagon
on Main street, and Mr. Stouarl got
in about half way down the block,
between First and Second street, on
the e»st side of Main. He went to
the front end of the wagon and bit
down, and later remarked “I am going
to ride with the driver" and climbed
overinto the drivers seat. We finiehed
loading on the corner of Main and
First streets, and started to the
grounds. When we were nearly to the
picnic grounds almost directly north
of the oil well on the Kerns place, the
wagon hit something in the road: Mr.
Stewart and the driver were both
thrown off the Beat. The mules,
■•Lick wars hitched to the -wagon,
kept going, I ran around to their
heads and helped stop them. 1 then
went back to the rear end of the
wagon and found several ladies and
men who were passengers on the
wagon, down on the ground around
the body. We then tried to identify
him; about that time Mr. Lucus came
up and searched his pockets, but could
not find anything to ideitify him with.
We were then blocking the road way,
and several of us carried the body out
to one side of the road. I then sent
the wagon on to the grounds, and in a
few minutes I went to the grounds
looking for a doctor, and found Dr.
Shepard; we then went to where the
body was. Dr. Shepard pronounced
him dead. After sending a man to
phone for the City Mayor and a wagon
to haul the body to town, I went to
the grounds and we brought the wag-
on to town. The moon was just com-
ing up, but not enough to aid anyone
to sae very plainly in the road. We
were driving in a walk at the time ot
accident, for we were pretty heavily
loaded. On the second trip back to the
grounds. 1 got out and looked in the
old post; this pest was set n the
grouud, anil extended about tive in-
ches above the surface and was proba-
bly two and a half or three inches in
diameter. The light of the tuoon was
not sufficient to aid the driver "
The verdict of the jury which wbb
rendered this morning is as follows:
iitfore the Honorable H. It. Cline,
Mayor of the city of Tulsa, Iudian
Territory.
In the matter of an inquest held over
the dead body of G. W. Sieuart.
VKRI1ICT
We, the duly empaneled jury in the
above entitled matter, after hearing
the evidence and after viewing|the lo-
cation where the said G. W. Stewart
win killed do And also after viewing
the body of the said deceased do find
that it was purely an accident,that no
one was guilty of any negligouee in
the matter and that he met his death

INDIANS LOSING THEIR LANDS
United States Committe’s Chief
Clerk Tells of Territory
Observation
Charles J. Kappler, chief cle*-k of
the United States Senate committee
on Indian affairs, is in Kansas City,
having just completed a week's trip
through Indian Territory, with Sena-
tor W. S. Stewart, chairman of the
committee. Senator Stewart will be
here Tuesday morning. Mr. Kappler
baid last night at the Hotel Baltimore
that the trip had opened their eyes to
many i-regularities in the affairs of
the Indians that they would never
hi,,/*, known without a per»ODal in-
vestigation.
“We founa that the Dawes commis-
sion had done good work,” he said.
“The negroes in the Creek nation,
though, are selling their lands for a
song and spending the money rapidly.
They will be paupers in five years.
The IndiaDsin the Chickasuw nat'en
are leasing their lands at a rediculous
figure. There are only one million
acres in the nation and we find one
white man in control of 120,000 acres.
He boasted of theffact that it has t.» ken
him nine months to get the land and
that it would take Congress nine years
to get it away from him. The dis-
trict court, however, has ruled that
these lands must be leased for a
reasonable consideration and this may
enable us to get the lands back into
the hands of the Indian again.”
