Tari.so as Alibi. Last summer it
will be remembered that up in tho
Delaware settlement William Bell
colored shot and killed a Dclawarj
named Griffin. Tho circumstances ib
wo find them in tlfo Ciuei-tain pub-
lished at tho timo wero as follows:
Deputy United States Marshal Wilkin-
ton having a writ for one John Btenh
ens offered topayijLcerUln-torson8nr -"dns-in but fewinstnnecs" T?Sro
fle dollars for his arrest. Tue olTer
was overheard by Lucas or Griffin two
Dolawares and in the hope of securing
tho reward thoy set out Tor btophens'
houso to mako the capture. Boll was
ou tho iuslde and from somo cause
possibly fearing ho was thu man
wanted fired through a crack killing
Griffin on the spot. Bell was taken In
custody at ouco and being removed
from tho locality by tho United States
officer seemed to breathe very much
freer as thoro was talk of mobbing
him. Tho killing was not deuiod and
when tho trial canio up a plea of solf
defense was entered with a fair pros-
pect of success. Bell it stems got
scared or thought ho saw a brighter
path and without tho consent or oven
knonledgo of bis counsel took tho
stand and Jcclarcd ho could provo his
absenco from tho placo whero tho
shooting occurred. After this stato
mont tho prisoner's couusel compelled
him to abandon tho plea of self-defense
and thu jury recommending mercy
brought in a verdict of manslaughter.
Tho presumption is that Bell arranged
with somo of his friends to swear to
his absence but did so a llttlo too late.
With His Boots ox. About two
weeks ago there catno to this placo a
tall sallow-faced individual named
Frank Long. Ho remained a number
of days and information was given out
that ho was a cattleman. Subsequent
developments load us to bcllovoltis
fortunato for our people that be did
not docido to engage in business in our
locality. Long was hero somo months
Ago had recently been at CoDoyvillo
and wo boliovo had also visited Tulsa
withlu a short timo. Two weeks ago
yestorday ho left hero for Texas and
on tho following Tuesday was shot and
killed in tho night at Durant In the
Choctaw nation. This was his torn-
poraVy homo and tho belief prevails
that ho foil at tho hands oi somo
of bis own crowd. Then it was
learned that Long was as near a pro-
fessional cattlothlef as men often got
to be and that rewards oxecdlng u
thousand dollars were standing for his
arrest. Among tho suflerors by tills
mau's thievery was James Blaslngamo
of Doulson Texas who had purchased
f 1600 worth of cattlo which had boon
stolen Iu tho Ohlcxcouw nation Blas-
Ingamu is a relative of our townsman
Stovo Bluojackat and Stovo who was
thou In Toxas learning of Long's pres-
ence telegraphed an order for his
arrest. In some manner tho dispatch
failed in its purposo and after tho bird
had flown tho officers about bere
among whom was a United States
marshal wero kicklug themselves to
think what thoy had missod Long
was accompanied to Vinlta by a young
follow from Oswego who claimed he
had him under arrest and that a re-
ward of a thousand dollars was offered.
No attention was paid or confidence
placed la this story aud it U sot ex
plained why it was thrf selMecltred
pfBcer left first. Long had Uett an
offender for Hysral years aud. is Mid to
have operated cbletiy in Txm. Arkaa.

Brannlck Coopor sentenced to ten
years In tho penitentiary for killing a
man appeared at Neosho recently and
was locked up. Ho had been out on
ball ponding a decision of tho supremo
court and this being against him he
closed up bis affairs and prepared him-
self for the dreary task ahead. A par-
don is hoped for.
Black At. The Tahlcquah Advo-
cate says: "It Is reported that the
woman who died this week at tbo resi-
dence of Thomas Tlrrill said that the
celling overhead in tho room in which
sho died would turn black after her
death. It Is positively declared by
rellablo parties and tlio owner of tho
house that tho celling has turned black
as tho dying woman said it would. If
it does not turn out to bo a farce we
will givo further particulars in our next
issuo."
Tuwb Stirrttc. The tramps arrest-
ed at Bluejacket for breaking Into a
Missouri Pacific car recently convicted
at Oswego wero sontenccd as follows:
Albert Russell 8 years; Hugh Francis
7 years; William Martin 7 years; Ed.
word Bronson 7 yoars; Robert Young
7 years; James Stafford 7 years. They
wero taken to the Leavenworth peniten
tiary last w .ek with tw o other prison-
ers convicted of grand larceny who
got three and four years respectively.
A local oxchango slates that nono of
them wero residents of Labette county.
About Skatino Rinks. Whllo minis-
ters in country towns aro assailing tho
skating rinks Henry Ward Bccchor
the most eminent divinoin this conn-
try says of that popular amusement:
"Theso places aro said to bo Immoral.
Aro thoy? Tho same thing was said of
our old Now England singing schools
and which also brought our young
pcoplo together. However 1 think too
niguiy or our American young men
and girls to bollcvo that they would
misbehave themselves in being brought
Into contact of courso allowing for
tho usual discount of wrong-doers."
Silly. Tho Neosho Times has dis-
covered in Mr. Barrow's mail line from
here to Pinevillo "a very fat thing con-
cealed somewhere." Just where tho
fat part is concealed it is difficult to
conjecture. Tho lino is somo sixty
miles long and touches eight offices
part of which havo no other service
If wo aro correctly Informed the
original contractor took the route at
?M0 per annum which is $48.33 per
month and Is compelled to pay Mr.
Dtrrow$uO por month to run it. Thus
the first contractor cannot bo realizing
a very "fat thing" and if the party
who is running it did not do a littto
huxter trado in eggs chickens and the
like bo certainly could not continue tho
Job.
Tjik Stuike. Tho chief topic of In-
terest for about a week has been the
strlko of the Missouri Pacific mechan.
Ics. Whllo this includes no employes
at Vinlta it has entirely suspended
freight traffic on the road and a num-
ber of locomotives and freight train
crews havo been lying hero awaiting
orders. Tho main strlko seems to
havo originated in Texas but it quickly
extended over tho entiro Hue and on
Tuesday seemed to bo central as the
weather clerks say of the storms at
Sedalla. No violence has been report
ed or even threatened and the strikers
seemed determined to retain If possible
the sympathy of tho public. I'asscu-
disturbed tho exception being at
Atchison Kansas. No employes it
appears save those belonging in tho
shops and round-houses aro engaged
in this strike but by seizing tho loco-
motives and forcibly keeping them out
of the yards thoy aro able most clTect-
ually to stop business. The cause
leading to this strike is the reduction
of wsges the men insisting on tho
restoration of last October's schedule.
It is staled that the cut at
Donison was twenty cents a
day. Soon after this was followed by
a further reduction of ten por cent.
Then time was cut down to nine hours
followed soon after by limiting work to
flvo days in tho week. Tho last cut
which led to the tho strlko was 12) per
cent. This cut men getting (2.60 per
day in the (.hops which was the aver-
e pay to about $1.80 and trackmen
wipers ote. to $1 a day. The follow-
ing item from the Sherman Dally
Democrat of last Saturday gives a good
Idea of tho situation at Denison:
"Mayor Hannan ordcrod four special
polled to walk the railroad yards to
seo that no firing of shops was at-
tempted. Usually thcro aro three
switch ongiues at work there continu-
ally but uow tho tracks aro cleared
and only passenger trains allowed to
pass. From another party we loarn
that tho strikers held a meeting last
night and determined to hold out until
tbelr point is gained. Tho boss was
heard to order men to go to tho differ-
ent switches aad relieve the men
standing watch; that thoro was a fund
being raised and thoir families would
not suffer. From a traveler we
learn that the switches at Denison aro
spiked and tho main tracks only allow
ed open. At Caddo tho train passed
nine ongincs making good time for
Muskogee. On tho buido train thcro
wero six detectives hoavilv armed with
pistols and Winchesters ready to pro-
tect the trulu from any depredations"
The burning of a bridge at Durant
(not by strikers) caused the north-
bound passonger last Sunday to bo
abandoned. Tho strikers allowed a
locomotive with a gang of men and
material to como up from Denison and
this barrier to travel was quickly re-
moved. Tho officials Beeui to bo takln g
matters xry coolly and a an incldont
to railroad operation and it is thought
wilt let tlio problem work out Us own
solution. It seems hurdly proba'blo
that business will bo long suspended
as neither side can possibly derive any
boneflt from such a stato of affairs.
