Every Effort Exhausted to Save His
Hack, But of No Avail—Appeal to
President Mad* in Vain—First La-
fSl Hanging in Southern District
ARDMORE: The first lexal execu-
tion in the Southern district of the In-
dian Territory occurred here Friday,
1 when Kufus Binyon paid the penalty
> Imposed by the laws of his country.
Binyon was flrst convicted of mur-
der In May, 1900, and aentenoed to
l hang, but his attorneys Uave fought
the case persistently until It was final-
' ly dismissed In the supreme court of
the United States for want of Jurisdic-
tion, and the sentence whh then or-
dered carried out. Recently his attor
neys. Wiggins * Brown, a firm of col-
i ored lawyers of Ardmore, applied for
a commutation of sentence, and enlist-
ed the aid of Bishop Arnett, of Ohio,
but the president declined to Inter-
fere. Thursday the lawyers exhaust-
ed the last hope of relief thiy had and
applied to Judge Dlckerson. of Chick-
asha, for a writ of habeas corpus, ai-
Uglng that Binyon was Insane The
application was denied, but at the tele-
graphic suggestion of Judge Dicker-
son, United States Marshal Colbert
empanelled a Jury and conducted an
examination, the Jury's verdict being
that he was "not Insane."
At various times during his Incar-
ceration the condemned man has dis-
played symptoms of insanity, and
many of the officials who have been
In close contact with him for so many
years firmly believed him to be insane,
while others are firmly of the belief
that he is practically a moral degen-
erate.
Binyon, up to the time of his execu-
tion. evinced no outward signs of
nervousness or fear as to the result,
although realizing that he must surely
be hanged, but has seemingly been
unconcerned as to the outcome of the
efforts of the lawyers to save his neck.
Ho has been one of the coldest men at
the Jail during the time of the prepa-
rations for the hanging, and the noire
of the carpenters erecting the instru-
ment of death failed to affec* his
nerve.
The execution took place In the
rear of the federal Jail In an enclosure
erected for that purpose, and the at
tendance was limited to a few officials
nnd guard* and the reporters for the
newspapers.
' The execution was quickly over:
1 the condemned man shot Into space
j within six minutes after reaching the
1 scaffold, the fall breaking his neck.
There was hardly a tremor of a mue-
, cle. save a slight twitching of the fin-
gers. On the scaffold Binyon sang the
song. 'I'm Going Home to Die No
More.'' then said "Good-bye to you all:
be gOod people." The straps were
1 then adjusted, and lie repeated the
Lord's Prayer, at the end of which a
signal from United States Marshal
Colbert, the trap was sprung by Dep-
uty Marshal Sublette, of Mill Creek.
The crime committed by Binyon
was the #iurd<r of his step-daughter
bv hitting her on the head with a
board. He then attempted to conceal
l the crime by burning the body in a
fireplace In his house. The mother of
the child discovered the crime and no-
tified other negroes in the neighbor
hood, who brought him to Jail in
chains.
Burning of Two Seminole Indiana •till
Fresh in Mind of Ptopis
MUSKOGEE: To the person famil-
iar with the history of Indian Terri-
tory It Is not at all strange that the
largest contribution made to the sep-
arate statehood campaign fund should
come from the Seminole nation, prac-
tically surrounded, though It Is, by Ok-
lahoma. and would naturally be sup
posed to favor union in statehood with
that territory. If there Is more
marked antipathy for Oklahoma In
one section of Indian Territory than
another. It Is In the 8 -mlnole nation,
and this feeling dates back to 1889.
the time when a "Seminole war" was
threatened.
In that year two Indians crossed the
Oklahoma line and got drunk on Okla-
homa whiskey. Before they returned
they met and outraged two respecta-
ble white womtn la Oklahoma, and
then murdered both of them. All
southeastern Oklahoma was outraged
over the episode Eveiy attempt was
made to find the two Indians who bad
committed the crime. Every white
man in the country armed and went
on the search. The feeling was verv
bitter, for In thos> days Indians were
r« warded more aa savages than thev
are now. Circumstantial evidenfe
pointed to two young 8eminoles, and
the Infuriated whites, falling to find
conclusive proof of the guilty ones,
came over into the Seminole nation,
dragged the two Indians captives back
Into Oklahoma, and there burned
them. They were chained to the trunk
of a large green oak tree with log
chains, and a fire built around them.
This aroused the Semlnoles, nnd a
war was narrowly averted by the
rushing of troops to the border and
the excellent counsel of trusted white
men among the Indians, who had
traded with thtm for yfars.
A peculiarity of the laws prevented
bringing the persons who had partici-
pated In the burning to trial for mur-
der in Indian Territory. Every Indian
knew that no Jury could be summoned
In Oklahoma that would punish the
offenders. But the law did not permit
the arrest of persons In Oklahoma on
a charge of kidnapping and consplr-
pev In Indian Territory. Several whe
took part in the burning were arrest
ed and brought to Muskogee, where
they were tried before Judge John R.
Thomas on charges of conspiracy and
kidnapping. Five were sent to the
penitentiary. During this trial strong
evidence was brought out to prove
that the two Indians who were burned
were not the ones who committed the
crime.
This is the cause that is making
contributions to the separate state
campaign fund pour in from the Sem-
inole nation in such remarkable de-
gree It is said that an Indian never
forgas. and the white men who were
In the Seminole nation at the time the
tragedy referred to occurred share
with the Indians this resentment for
Oklahomans, and they are unwilling
to become a part of a state with them.

• A devoted mother seems to listen to
avery call of duty excepting the su-
Cme one that tells her to guard her

derangement of the female organs haa

Tired, nervous and irritable, tha
mother Is unfit to care for her chil-
dren, and hercondltlon ruins the child's
disposition and reacta upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, aa
she no doubt is suffering with back-
ache, headache, bearlug-down pains or
displacement, making life a burden.
Lydia K. l'iuk ham's Vegetable Com-
pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. It strengthens the female
organs and permanently cures all dia-
placements and irregularities.
Such testimony as the following
should convince women of its value:
