PENING JSIGHT is always a ga-
la occasion but it is doubly so
when it applies to the opening of a
new house of amusement and when
especial endeavors have been put forth
to conserve the happiness of the
guests as was the case in this in-
stance thanks to the manager Mr.
Joe II. Butler. Monday last saw the
opening of the newly erected Yinita
Opera House and by a company prob-
ably uniivallcd in excellence in the
history of this town.the Graham Earlc
Co. presenting "The Inside Track" as
the initial performance. For several
days previous the company's manager
Charles II. Rosskam had been in our
city and aiding as only a professional
can in the preliminary arrangements.
When the curtain went up at 8:30 the
company looked out upon as fine an
audience as Yinita can assemble and
a tolerably fair acquaintance with the
town moves us to say that wc have
some mighty nice folks here. The
boxes were kindly placed at the dis
posal of the officials and the press; the
parquet was brimming full of youth
beauty and refinement and largely de-
void of big hats; the house was1 com-
pletely filled on both floors. Mayor
Buttington was asked to dedicate the
house to the purposes for which erect-
ed but Tom ain't much on speech
making and on this particular occa-
sion was doubly anxious for the pro-
ceedings to begin to sec the show
and so "grace" was cut decidedly
short The play "The Inside Track"
presented as the opening bill is a very
Drctty nielo-drama and has the merit
of introducing a vein of delightful
comedy of two decidedly distinct char-
actersone the refined as presented
by Graham Earle as Harry Denbigh;
the olhsr of the Bowery order as por-
trayed by Hugh Morrison as Jim Dar-
sey. To tell of all the good actors in
the company is to name them all and
is to some extent like comparing one
silver dollar with another. Wherever
Mr. Earlc appears he will be recog-
nized as an actor in its broad liberal
sense and the same is the case as to
Cora Hammcl Earle who seems espec-
ially adapted to those characters
which present the true type of woman-
hoodstrongest in adversity. One
unfortunate incident occurred in con-
nection with the opening of the house
and that was the enforced absence of
the gentleman who erected it Mr.
Robert Ironside. During Monday af-
ternoon while assistiug in the finish-
ing touches upon the stage Mr. Iron-
siae was walking backward when he
stepped upon what was to be the trap
door aud whicli had been sawed al-
most out. It gave way with him and
he fell a distance of some seven feet
stiiking his back upon a trunk. While
not seriously injured his hurts have
been such as thus far to prevent his
visiting the house since but the latest
word is that he is getting along as
well as was to have been expected.
Q FREIGHT CAR standing on the
Si "Katy" track Sunday night was
broken open and one or more boxes of
dry goods and notions consigned to
the Jumbo store opened and some of
the contents pulled out. When com-
pared with the invoices nothing was
fu.no to be missing except -a package
of dress braiJ valued at perhaps half
a dollar and it is n it improbable this
was omitted by the wholesale house
in packing. The robbers were very
likely in scarcli of clothing or some-
thing of that character which they
could make use of. The same night
M. K. Barron's blacksmith shop was
entered and a number of tools stolen.
fASSKNGERS on the southbound
M. 1C. & T. train Thursday last
were edified or disgusted as their
tastes ordered by the actions of a man
and woman who got on at Nevada
bound for Wagoner. A man had been
taken into the household sick and
cared for and rewarded his benefactor
by running away with his wife. The
deserted husband found the pair at
Nevada and instead of prosecuting
them took his wife home and-they
spent the afternoon in crying and
otherwise making a spectacle of them-
selves. (TRlTESDAY MORNING J. C. SUirr
Is of Grove received the sad intel-
ligence while sitting in the jury box
in Judge Thomas' court that his baby
at home was thought to be dying and
to come immediately. Mr. Starr has
been serving on the regular panel of
the petit jury during the entire pres-
ent term of court. The little one
was but eight days old and had what
appeared to be pneumonia. At the
time mentioned an attack of croup
set in aud the little one died about
five o'clock in the evening.
(IffillE REPORT came yesterday
I that a double killing had oc-
curred Tuesday night at Nowata. The
facts seem to be that the town mar-
shal a man named Wilson who was
also a deputy United States marshal
was shot and killed by a stranger and
he in turn killed his assailant. It is
thought to have grown out of the
killing that occurred in that town
sonic months ago iu which the city
marshal and his hair brother were
killed.
In the U. S. Court.
The prsoccution commenced Monday
against several parties from near Nowata
charged with intimidation was dismissed
b- the iudire and referred to the grand
jury. There were upward of a score of
witnesses.
The power to enforce the permit
law (white clerk law) and other Chero-
kee enactments by the United States
courts is to be tested as the grand
jury by direction of the judge took
up a case and returned an indictment
against the proprietor of the New
York store at Clarcmore. It now
turns out that the owner of the store
is a lady Mr. Thurman but as this
fact was probably unknown to the
grand Jury it is not to be accepted as
a reflection of their gallantry.
Perhaps the most important case yet
tried iu the United States court at this
place and certainly the most revolting
in detail was that of Jerome Montgom-
ery on a charge of rape the victim being
a little seven-year old girl down at Red-
land near Muldrow. The sickening

testimony that was doled out by the wit
nesses for nearly two days would not be
proper matter to print but it certainly
showed a case of moral depravity hard to
parallel in the annals of crime in any
country. The jury rendered a verdict of
guilty of assault with intent to rape.
-
Evidence gathered on the outside
seems to indicate strongly that the mob
which burned the two Seminole bos
on the line of Oklahoma and the Sem-
inole country a few weeks ago made a
fearful mistake and that at least one of
the victims was entirely innocent of the
murder of Mrs. Leard. Assistant District
Attorney Tarker went down to Shawnee
Monday evening to investigate the mat-
ter further and the government seems
determined to ferret the whole thing out
and bring the guilty parties to justice
including the real murderers of Mrs.
Leard. Between fifty and sixty indict-
ments have been returned by the late
grand jury at this place and it is further
said that probably a score more names
will be added to the l:st. Mobs are al-
ways dangerous and the annals of this
country are replete with just such mis-
takes aslhr. recent Oklahoma mob made.
It seems to be settled beyond dispute
that Lincoln McGeezy was an innocent
man and that Palmer Samson after be-
ing "strung up" by the neck three or
four times yielded to the wishes and be-
liefs of the mob and implicated McGeezy
in the vain hope of placating his tor-
mentors and mayhap saving his own life.
Every citizen should insist upon the en-
forcement of law and use all legitimate
efforts to see that criminals are legally
punished but mob violence shouid be
forever discarded.
A singular incident occurred in the
United States court here Tuesday af-
ternoon and was precipitated by the
introduction of Major Winston clerk
of the court of the Northern district
as a witness in the perjury case
against Eli Huff who was being tried
on an indictment forswearing falsely
in the trial of Milburn Lovelace for
the murder of Win. Glass at Welch
last winter. The prosecution placed
Clerk Winston on the witness stand to
prove that Ell Huff had testified iu
the Lovelace trial whereupon the at-
torneys for the defense objected on the
grounds t hat the records were the best
evidence. On motion then it was
sought to introduce the clerk's record
of the proceedings or the court when
it developed that no record of the
corrt of the Northern district had
ever been written the clerk explain-
ing that the government until re-
cently had failed to provide a record
book in which a complete history of
the proceedings of the court could be
written. After a wrangle of some
lenctli in which the attorneys for the
defense seemed to have very much the
best of the situation the trial was
suspended till the following day at 10
a. m. in order that the clerk might
from Ills minutes kept during the
trial make a full record of the noted
murder case that resulted in the send-
ing of one man to prison for the pe-
riod of his natural life and in the in-
dictment for perjury of nearly all the
witnesses for the defense two of
whom have lain in jail nearly a year.
The attorneys for the defense made
strenuous efforts to have the proceed-
ings quashed and the defendant liber-
ated on the ground that the govern-
ment had failed to show from the
record that he had testified at all in
the trial in question. The court how-
ever held that the real issue was not
whether the court records had been
properly kept but rather whether the
defendant had sworn falsely on the
occasion named iu 'the Indictment or
not and the clerk was accordingly
given fine in whicli to complete his
record.
To a man who never sat in a great
criminal court in his life before there is
a cartain indefinable fascination in being
present in the United States court now iu
session in this city where the pond:rous
criminal mill is grinding away day after
day and week after week on what ap-
pears to be an inexhaustible grist of
crime supplied by a long long list of
criminals who seem to be absolutely
endless and numberless. The guileless
creature whether man or woman who
has learned to think of life as one long
day's ramble iu the forest on the moun-
tain side or over the fields in the soft
sunshine with the singing of birds over-
head in the branches of every tree and a
wreath of flowers lining every path and
to thitik only of death as the quiet sleep
that comes at the end of it will after
sitting around Judge Thomas' court a few
days begin to believe that all the world
are criminals and that those on his right
and on his left are murderers or horse
thieves or felons of some other name.
In the hall below the court chamber
most any day may be heard the tramp of
marshals with prisoners going through to
the jail. Sometimes the clanking of
chains fastened to the limbs of men on
their way to the prison may be heard.
A line of men is marched into the court
room and seated in the prisoners' dock
each day who have either been con-
victed of crime or desire to plead guilty
and be sentenced by the court some to
years of hard labor iu some federal
prison others to a jail sentence of some
weeks or months as the gravity of the
offense may appear to the court or be
fixed by statute. It may b; doubtless
is a fact that men grow familiar with
such scenes as undertakers get used to
death and soon regard them as common-
place routine business incidents anil
cate little for it but there is a morbidity

about such places that cannot be shaken
off. The story of crime iu its details is
always pathetic and always human. The
spectacle of men and women breaking
away from the moorings of sanity and
of virtue and rushitig headlong into
crime is one of the great mysteries of
human existence and like the evil spirits
that entered the herd of swine and drove
them into the sea so it seems that the
great enemy of men's souls is still driv-
ing them into evil ways and filling the
prisons of the country with those who
on account of the perversity of their
natures are not allowed to run at large
among their fellow beings breathing the
air of freedom and filling the places of
useful citizens.
