MONCOMERY
RECAPTURED.
Was Found Under the House
of an Admirer.
Guthrie, Okla., May 18.—W.
W. Montgomery, who escaped from
the county jail here last Thursday
after killing the jailor, Jerry
Emmerson, was recaptured today
underneath the residence of Mrs.
Kate Wyatt here, who it is alleged
became infatuated with the hand-
some prisoner, gave him a revolver
and thus assisted him to escape.
He kept the revolver a week with
the admitted intent of murdering
Sheriff Charles Carpenter.& Twice
he had the gun leveled at Carpen-
ter, who was providentially saved
by other parties stepping between
him and the prisoner. Carpenter's
two-year-old daughter and an under
sheriff thus saved his life. Mrs.
Wyatt and two grown sons are now
in jail.
The plot was revealed today by
Harry Gray, another prisoner,
turning state's evidence. Mont-
gomery is badly wounded, having
been shot through the left lung by
the jailer's wife and through the
right groin by the jailer, just before
the latter's death.
Ten Nights in a Bar Room.
EilersTen Nights in a Bar Room
Co. arrived in the city yesterday at
noon. The big tent was stretched
in the east part of town and the
band gave a street parade and free
concert. This feature proved effi-
cient and entertaining. Last night
the big tent was crowded and the
rendition of that old but popular
drama was all that could be desired
and highly pleasing. Some clever
specialties were introduced and the
popular songs were good.
AMERICA'S MONTE CARLOS.
Hot Springs, Arkansas,and
Saratoga, New York, are the
Monte Carlos of America.
During the winter seasons
Hot Springs is "it" in the
summer, Saratoga. Both are
ostensibly pleasure resorts,
but both the rendezvous of
professional gamblers and of
mouied men who play for the
excitement, rather than for
the value of possible winning.
Uncle Sam who controls mat-
ters at Hot Springs, should
cut out the swell gambling
houses.
The New York state author-
ities say that really, honest
truly, the great gambling
concerns at Saratogo will not
be permitted to open the
coming summer. New York
is apparently trying to sup-
press gambling. Dick Can-
field, the gilt-edged manipu-
lator of the cards, is in
Europe, studying art in the
great galleries and doubting
about returning to Gotham.
"Al" Adams, the policy kiug,
with a $2,500,000 fortune, is
in Sing Sing and the gentle-
man of the green table are in
a terrible state of mind. Ever-
tliing is being done to make
Wail street the only legalized
place of gambling in the
empire state of the American
Union."—Wichita Eagle.

THE OLD HOME PAPER.
And What Sheriff Neil Morrison
Found Therein.
The ' 'old home paper'' is a sight
of comfort to most men even
though hundreds of miles of space
and years of time seperate them
frrtni the scenes of the former home.
Busy men of affairs though they
lx\ when the "old home paper"
arrives they banish work, worry
and care, untill its contents are
eagerly devoured. Just yesterday
the chief man found Sheriff morri-
son with his nose in a Mississippi
paper, the Ackeuian Record, and
here is what pleased him, a write-
up af a cousin of his, a boyhood
playmate in times long ogo:
HON. J. W. BARRON.
Hon. J. W. Barron, a Choctaw
boy, is a candidate for re-election
to the office of District Attorney in
the First Judicial district. We
could not if we would, and wotdd
not if we could, forestall public
opinion in that district, but Mr.
Barron lieing an old citizen of
Chactaw—a transplant from Ok-
tibbeha county, and a friend of this
editor for more than a quarter of a
century. We feel more than a
passing concern in the pending
canvass in the first distrtct, as do
all Choctaw people, and from what
we observe Mr. Barron will lie
triumphantly elected. J. W. Bar-
ron is one of the truest men we
ever knew. He never goes around
with a flim-flare of trumpets as to
what he is going to do, he just
pursues the even tenor of his way,
treating all men justly and rightly,
and by a faithful discharge of his
duties has won a hold 111x111 his
people that 110 man can dislodge
him from.
Ended In a Tragedy.
Madrid, May 18. — During ajiull
fight yesterday at Algeciras, the
amphitheatre collapsed. Twelve
persons were killed and fifty injured.
Several women and children were
gored by bulls.
HORRIBLE
TRADGEDY.
Frightful Torture Inflicted on
one Maniac by Another.
City of Mexico, May 19 —A
horrible tragedy occured at San
Hipolito Insane Asylum Friday.
Atubrosio Satnano Campa, one of
the most dangerous inmates, suc-
ceeded iu evading the vigilance of
the guard and induced another in-
mate to remove*his straight-jacket.
When this was accomplished lie
asked his companion to don the
garment, whiah he did without
protest.
Then laying his victim on the
floor, he proceeded to drive a large
spike through his head into the
floor. With a shoemaker's knife,
which by some means he contrived
to secure, he tried to shave his
victim, but finding the position
inconvenient, removed the spike
and nailed the head to the floor
in a different manner. This oper-
ation was repeated four times.
The dead man's brother, Lie
Manuel Marron is Prosecuting
Attorney of Beletn Criminal Court,
a well Known litteateur. When
the news of the tragedy was con-
veyed to the lawyer he was sum-
ming up the case for trial of Jorge
Lezanin, who was finally sentenced
to death for murder. As the at-
torney asked this great penalty for
Lozama tears were streaming down
his cheeks.
Samano, who has been iu the
asylum nine years, is a most pow-
erful man and believed that he
was a god on earth. He once
grasped a man who refused to
worship him by the throat and
Struct the victim against the wall,
fracturing his skull. Two years
ago, iu a fight with another inmate
who claims to be God in heaven.
Samano secured a club and beat
the head of his opponent into a jel-
ly.

THE EIRE AT HARRISON.

I
A Practical Test of Mr. Nelson's Eire
Extinguisher.
Our people will remember some
two weeks ago Mr. F. H. Nelson,
of Harrison, was hero making
demonstrations of what his tire
extinguishers would do, and many
there wore who doubted the ex-
tinguisher being any good iu case
of serious conflagration.
On last Wednesday night fire
broke out iu tho kitchen of the
Adnms Hotel at llarrisou, and al-
though the people responded
promptly, the tire had gained good
headway liefore parties with water
began to arrive. Much heroic
work was done, but they wero un-
able to control the flumes, which
continued to gain on them, and
many thought that Harrison
would again be destroyed. Just
as the fighters iiad given up all
hope of extinguishing the tir^, and
were in the act of dynamiting the
adjoining buildings to keep the
fllatnes from spreading, Mr- Nel-
son, who was in bed at the time the
alarm was given, arrived on the
scene with several of his extin-
guishers, and with the aid of a
few" friends, soon had them in
operation. Mr. Nelson stated to
a Chief man that in less than five
miuutes from the time he arrived
and got his extinguishers in play
the lire was entirely out, and he
refers anyone who may doubt his
statement, to any business man in
Harrison.
Thursday and Friday after the
tire Mr. Nelson sold 117 extin-
guishers to the people of Harri-
son, which goes to prove that the
people there are very much im-
pressed with its usefullness.
Mr. Nelson will leave several ex-
tinguishers in town. The price
ofthein is $3.00, and aftor each
tire the tube will be refilled with
the powder without any additional
cost. In the absence of water-
works Hobart could do no l>etter
than to secure a supply of these
extinguishers.
Shot Into Excursion Train.
Fayette, Mo., May 18.—An M.,
K. & T. excursion train returning
from Jefferson City was fired into
by unknowu persons last night.
A man named Typton, from Han-
nibal, was dangerously wounded,
the ball passing through his abdo-
men, and several were slightly cut
by flying glass. Six shots were
fired, all striking the coaches or
passing through windows. The
train was crowded and the greatest
excitement followed.
We're sorry mighty sorry
That people's watches
stop,
But you see we need the
money
Friend, or else >
wouldn't knock.
An occasional loss 1
might stand,
Bout which we'll notd
sigh,
But where'll we git the
money, friend,
And wnere'U we get the(
pie.
STORY OF
TISAQUA.
And How Wor Path Ended at
the Jail Door.
Lawton, O. T., May 16.—Tisaqua
is a heap big Indian and lie doeseti't
care who knows it. He is a quiet,
unassuming fellow when there arc-
no snakes in his l>oots, and is as
loyal to his people ami the white
man as his heriditary instincts un-
der the shadow of civilization will
allow. There is one thing Tisaqua
can do that will remind him of the
times that used to Ik.', that is red
liquor.
On the 22nd of April Tisaqua
im1)ehed a large quantity of the
recollection fluid and together with
a companion or two liecame the
hero of his dreams and the stories
of his father. In all the fantastic
colors that charm the eye of the
red man he rolled himself, painted
his cheeks in the paint of war,
buckled 011 his revolver ami went
upon the highway a bad Indian of
the range. His comrades were
similar]> robed and loaded, and to-
thcr tins proceeded to charge Up-
on the jieaceful home*. of their
neighbors. Amid Marwlioops and
racing <>f ponies they fiilled the
walls of house, with bullet holes
along their route. Coming upon
the humble home of a poor widow
they put her to flight, and took
charge of her home. I11 the dark-
ness and chill of the night she
sought protection under the roof of
a neighbor. But the war did not
last long, for the officers got 011
their paths of war and captured
them, nor lost a single man. And
now Tisaqua is sorry for his wrong
doing and hoj>es to lx- a g<xxl citi-
zen in the future, when the court
gets through with him. —Oklaho-
man.
