County Man Makes Good
His Escape.
Special to Dally Leader.
Shawnee Okla. April 28. Coronor
M. C. Floming has roturnod from
Asher where ho was called Saturday
morning to invosttgato the killing of
John Orowe who was shot at his home
near there Friday night by unknown
parties. Tlte mystery in the case is
yet unsolved and while the officials
have some strong suspicions as to the
guilty parties no circumstances have
yet developed sufficiently to cause the
arrest of any parties. Coroner Flem-
ing went from here Saturday morning
to Wanette and drove to Asher re
turning to Wanette after the inquest
he was obliged to take a tiresome
muddy drive through the night to
Shawnee arriving there at 3 a. in.
Sunday.
From the evidence given to the jury
it appears that Mr. Orowe was shot
about i) o'clock Friday night. His
home had two doors one opening in
front the other in the rear. Ills wife
and daughters and an eleven-year-old
boo slej) in the house and from their
evidence It appears that they saw Mr.
Crowe standing In the room shortly af-
ter going to bed heard the report of a
gun and then frightened badly they
ran for help which soon came. Tlte
body had evidently fallen on the bed
and later as If be had struggled after
the shot against the comer of the
bed.
Tho hedclothlng was saturated with
bleed and a trail showed where the
badybad been pulled across the floor
to ft position near the door. This is
sabj to have been done by the child-
ren la the effort to get the body to an-
otfer bed from the floor or which it
was lying. A single .barrel hoi gun
wttk a discharged aartrtde In It show-
ed Etta wenoa vita which death had
be" instated. The weapon bad been
held a foot or two from the back of
the man's bead as the wound was In
the back of the skull. The hair was
burned shewing that the pwdei had
flashed against bit head but It lttd
tut been held clot enough to blow the
trail into piece. Thlg effectually doe
away with a suicide theory. Various
remarks lie 'tad made we told but
the coroner is of the opinion that some
cne In the house did the alwotlng.
whether a man had sneaked in or not
remains to be proren. The Jury re
turned a verdict that the deceased
came to his death from a gunshot
wound in tlUThead fired by parties un-
known to the jury. The case is now
in the hands of the oounty authorities
but unless further evidence develops
nothing more can be done.

tors. President Blgelow sold he had'
a painful statement to make a con
fession that he had misdirected tho
funds of the bank and that an examina-
tion of his books and a comparison
of figures would show that he was in
debted to the bank to the amount of
over $1460000. This money he said
had been lost In speculation In wheat
and stocks. Not a dollar of it could
lie recovered and the only sum he
could offer toward recompensing .the
bank were persocftl securities slued
nt approximately $300OUO.
The method adopted was an old one.
Collection a coo tints were manipulated
to the extent of forty nnd In some In-
stances fifty per cont to make it ap-
pear that the reserve fund was Intact
and the amount of the Increased col-
lection fund was diverted to special
stock operations.
The reserve maintained In eastern
banks was tampered with the books of
the First National being fixed so that
the reserve appe red to be larger by
several hundred hoa.. of dollars
than It really was. These and other
methods were pursued by Blgelow In
obtnlniiur money from the bank. In
the falsifying of records and mauipula
tlou reserves Blgelow declares he wss
aided by Assistant Cashier doll and
two bookkeeper who worked under
order of Blgelow and they have
neither been discharged nor suspended
and they will be called as witnesses In

T B Bock and othdr? of Qrant
county Interested In the- matter are
orpntlng public sentiment in that vlcln-
Uty In fnvor of an Irrigation plant. This
is tho result of tho government reserv-
ing tho wator rights of tho Salt Fork
the main watercourse lu that part of
tlie teu-ltory. It Is undorstood that a
corps of civil onglnoors will bo sent
to make a survoy of the salt plains
with the Intention of constructing a
dam across Salt Pork below making
an immense reservoir of the plains
which nre reserved by the government
The lake so constructed would In
about five miles wide by twelve lunn
and would hold water enough to It1
gate the valley below for many ntlU-M
Tie Impounding of so great a body of
water would humldize the winds pa;-.
Ing over tlw water and the climat
would be more equitable to the north
of the lake.
From the sale of public lands In Ok

tian fund for use in this territory of
about $6000000.
