Election Bulletins.
Arrangements have been
made by this paper with Man
ager Mason of the "Western
Union Telegraph Co. whereby
election bulletins wilL be de-
livered at the United States
court house on nights of Nov.
3 and 4 and at the Ardmoreite
office for day of 4th.
S. A. Douglas.
1. R. Mason.
One of the best officers of the
Indian Territory remarked yes-
terday to an Ardmoreite re-
porter that if this country had
every citizen like Charley Carter
when it comes to the arrest of
criminals especially when that
criminal happens to be of their
own nationality that the vol-
umes of crime would be greatly
lessened. In the case of Hud
Wat-kins Saturday night Mr.
Carter was among the first to
volunteer and was the first to
say that Watkins must be ar-
rested at all hazards. Charley
Carter is an Indian only one
of hundreds who believe in up-
holding the laws. To him and
to all such the non-citizens of
the Indian Territory owe debts
ol gratitude.
The grand jury today took
up the case of Bud Watkins
charged with the murder of
Wyatt Williams last Saturday
night. Before the victim was
laid in his grave a bill of in-
dictment had been returned
charging Watkins with murder
in the first degree. Now if the
courts will be as ppjmpt in com-
pleting the work of justice be-
gun by the grand jury the pres-
ent term will adjudge the de-
fendant either guilty or not
guilty as the evidence may
show. In view of the fact that
a speedy trial is expected the
Ardmoreite refrains from an
expression of an opinion any
further than that we believe
Bud Watkins can get a fair and
impartial trial in the court at
Ardmore. If he is guilty he
should be" punished if he was
justifiable he should be acquit-
'ted and we honestly believe
that is just the way any terri
tory jury .will decide his fate.
- Last Friday Tandy Folsoin
was sworn in as sheriff of Blue
county Indian Territory. lie
appointed six deputies; all of
whom were required to give a
bond of $1000 payable to the
sheriff in case of breach. The
sheriff gave a bond of $5000 for
the faithful performance of his
duties. This is something that
has not been done before.

the
Harry C. St. John is dead!
For several days he has been
very low and yesterday after-
noon he breathed his last and
the work begun by the heartless
invader of his home nearly two
years ago was in all its chapters
completed.
On April 3 1803 the people-
of this city were shocked almost
beyond belief by the story that
Harry St. John believing his
wife untrue had shot and killed
her. Ihe inner story as to
exactly how and why the kill
mg occurred has often been dis
cussed by the many readers of
the Oklalioman.H but no satis
lactory explanation lias ever
been published. It was thought
that the trial would divulge the
mystery but the only spectators
to the awful tragedy the prin
cipal and his dead wife are
gone to testify in the highest
tribunal in the universe and at
laM the tongue that has been so
fee to condemn the injured
husband for the past months is
forever stilled.
Mr. St. John was a leading
attorney in this city and a mem-
ber of the third legislature from
the district embracing this city.
lie gave $iuUUU i.ona to ap-
pear in the district court for
shooting his wife and the e;ise
was transferred to Canadian
county for trial during the pres
ent month.

j?or several weeks ne was
laboring under intense menta
strain and at last being afflicted
with a severe case of the grippe
succumbed to his bed from
which he never arose. He was
watched in his last illness by
his half sister. Miss Maud Hen-
derson who kept house for him
and cared for his three little
boys aged eight four and two
years respectively.
His father ex-Governor John
P. St. John was telegraphed
for and is expected to arrive
tonight from Ohio where he
was engaged in a lecturing
tour.
The funeral will not be ar-
ranged until after the arrival of
the latter gentleman. Oklaho-
mau. Gamblers Killed by Indians.
Fayettevilie Ark. Oct. 11
Much excitement prevails in
the Indian Territory over the
operations of gamblers who are
fleecing the simple-minded In-
dians. The quarterly payment
of the Osage tribe was made on
Thursdap and hundreds of
gamblers were present with all
kinds of devices from the shell
game to the gold brick swindle.
The fiamblers fleeced a crowd
of full-bloods and their victims
became enraged and drove them
out of the settlement. The
gamblers were overtaken at
Turkey creek and killed. Their
names are not known.
Lot Jumping.
Another interesting lot-jumping
case was heard in U. S.
court yesterday afternoon and
a verdict re turned similar to all
others on this question. Harry
Johnson was the plaintiff and
W. F. Kelly was the defendant.
Mr. Kelley was assessed $23.00
for destioying the enclosure
around Mr. Johnson's lot and
moving a house thereon. South
McAlester Capital.
The Last Captured.
The last of the recently es-
caped prisoners from the city
jail has been captured at Ard-
more. Chief Couch received
word that the negro Ralph
Cochran who was serving time
for wife beating was in the
hands of officers at Ardmore
and Couch left last night to get
his man.
Cochran is evidently the man
that wrenched the lock off the
cell as he is a very powerful
man. Oklahomau.

Johnstown Mich. Oct. 10.
To Hon. E. C. Watkins chair-
man union state central com
mittee Graud Rapids Mich.:
Dear Sir I am diametrically
opposed to allowing England or
any European power or any
other power to be consulted or
to dictate in any way our finan
cial policy. I am in favor of
capital but I am opposed to
having capitalists hoarding
their money in a national bank
a . a .a a a
vault or investing it in govern-
ment bonds. I want capital put
where it will do the most 'work.
I was proud to be a republican
when republican principles
were voiced by Abraham Lin
coln President Grant John A.
Logan aud James A. Garfield.
but I am opposed to having the
principles of the republican
Kartv voiced by the banker
oudholde"s of London and
Wall street through their agent.
Mark Hauna. I am an Amer-
ican hence I am opposed to
consulting any other power on
our American policy.
