Dr. L. Ilaynes Iluxton v. as called to
Columbia 35 miles northwest of tbo
elty yesterday lo attend the victims
of one of the most sensational shoot-
ing affairs ever enacted in Oklahoma.
The press reports sent out Monday
regarding the affray were incorrect.
Dr Iluxton gaye the following partic-
ulars to Thk Leader:
A young man named Jesse Steele for
some time has been courting a most
estimable young lady named Rosa
Stolder daughter of a rich German
farmer residing a mile from Columbia.
Recently Miss Stolder has shown fa-
vors to a rival named Abu Shell This
enraged Steele Supplying himself
with a bottle of chloroform and a
Colt's revolver Steele went in search
of Misa Stolde. lie found her at the
home of her sisters pleasantly con-
versing with Shell Crazed with fury
Steele wh'pped out his revolver and
fired atlShell the ball striking his ri-
val iti' the forehead. Shell ran out of
the house Steele followed and find-
ing the wounded man lying in tbo
grass he fired again shooting Shell in
the breast.
Steele then rushed back into the
house muttering curse. Grabbing
MIsb Stolder he placed his arm around
the girl's waist aud shot her twice di-
rectly in the forehead then turning
the gun vpon himself he fired twice
both balls taking effect in his fore-
head. Steele was able to leave the
house and take refuge in a bed in an
adjoiniutr house.
A remarkable thlae. about the shoot-
ing is the fact that eanh of tho young
people was shot twi.e in the forehead
with a 38 Colt's revolver at close range
and yet death did Lot ensue.
Dr. Iluxton found Mi-m Stolder's
skull fractured on both sides of the
head and she will die. She! has a
ball near the jugular veiu aud his
chancer of recovery are slim. Steele
is under arrest but i not able to bo
moved.
All l'ree.

Portland Maine April 17. With
enthusiasm almost unequalled in the
history of Republican politics in tlie
State the convention for the nomin-
ation of dulogatos to the national con-
vention at St. Louis was held here
yesterday. Tho enthusiasm was cen-
tered about the name of Thomas D.
Rood tho unauimous choice of tho
convention for president In fact
there was no one to be fouud among
nil tlie delegates from whom the
slightest reference to Rccd did not
call forth a demonstration of some
sort. Rood buttons and badges wore
everywhere to be seen and from
Josoph Manloy who called tho con-
vention to ordor to the least prom-
inent delegate present there was an
apparent aosiro to -jutor ino competi-
tion to show who could cheer the
loudost for tho favorite candidate.
When tho formal organization had
been completed Herbert M Heath of
Augusta chairman of the committee
on resolutions reported tho following
platform:
The Republicans of Maiue gladly
join with thoir brethren in other
states in presenting to the Repub
licans of tho nation for promotion to
the Presidency tlie Speaker of the Na-
tional House of Representatives. He
needs no platform but tho record of
his life. Under his administration
ns his public efforts conspicuously
show would bo restored that Repub-
lican policy of protection taught by
Lincoln illustrated by tho signal
prosperity of the country for thirty
years ana surrounded by tlie recip-
rocity of Maine n policy which would
be adapted to tho business of tho
country and adjusted with care from
time to time to tho changed conditions.
Then with confidence aud prosperity
restored revenue will bo made ade-
quate to tho bupport of thu govern-
in on i nnu mo issuing 01 uonus ostcnsi-
oiy ior tue maintenance oi tuo re-
demption tund but really to meet
deficiency will cease.
Ho is opposed to tho free aud un-
limited coinage of silver except by
international agreement and until
such ugruemeut can be obtained be-
lieves tlie present gold standard should
be maintained. He lias always been
uncompromisingly for the mainten-
ance of the highest national credit by
tho utmost good faith toward the
creditors not for the creditors' sake
but for tho nation's sake; for tho
sound roason that the most valuablo
possession of uny nation in timo of
war or distress next to tho courage of
its people is an honorable reputation.
Whoever pays with honor borrows
with case. Sound finance und cer-
tainty at the Treasury and protection
for producers will moan prosperity
aud peace. Our candidate favors the
restriction of immigration. Ho favora
a just administration of pension legis-
lation and is nn earnest friend of
American shipping and its restoration
to its former rank in the world. He
stands for the preservation of national
honor at home and abroad.
Tho following delogatos-at-largo
were elected: Amos L Allen of Al-
fred; Charles E. Littlefiold Rockland;
Edwin C. Iturleigh Augusta; Dr. IS.
A. Thompson Dover.
Governor Clewes Llewellyn Powers
and Herbert N. Heath all made brief
speeches indorsing Reed and his pol-
icy. John O. Patton of Rath endeav-
ored to introduce a resolution favor-
iug legislation to discriminate in favor
of American ships but he was ruled
out of order. He then triod to pro-
sent the resolution us a minority ro-
port of the committee on resolutions
saying that if Mr. Reed favoroU Amer-
ican shipping it would not hurt him to
say so Mr. Patton was ruled out of
order on this also and the convention
adjourned.

publicans of New Jersey met here in
convention yostorday and unanimously
elected the slated candidates United
States Sonator William J. Sewell Gar-
rett A. Hobart John Koan jr. and
State Chairman Franklin Murphy as
delegate at large to tho St. Louis
convention. Tlie delegatos wore not
instructed regarding the presidential
nomination but tlie platform con-
tained a strong recommendation of
Garrett A. Hobart as an available man
for tlio vice presidency. Some friends
of Mr. Hobart led by Congressman
McEwen endeavored to secure thu
adoption of a specific indorsement of
McKinloy but tho loadors regarded
sucli hampering of the delegates as
impolitic and the proposition was
ruled out of order.

Washington April 17. Tho resolu-
tion for an investigation of rocont
bond is6uos was taken up in tho Sen-
ate yesterday and Mr. Hill made a
sensational and dramatic speecli in
opposition. The Now Yorw Senator
dofended Secretary Carlisle and his
administration of tho treasury ugainst
loose insinuations of irregularity and
showod the prevalence of charges of
this chara-tcr by presenting and read-
in in fu I the charges nuido by Seua-
tor Chuiicilor against tho friends of
McKinloy that a levy of money was
being mado on protected industries in
behalf of Mr. McKlnley's candidacy
for the presidency. As a further evi-
dence of the provaleuco of charges
Mr. Hill spoke of the sugar investiga-
tion whore ho said ono Senator
(referring to Mr. Quay) had frankly
admitted that he bought sugar stock
and had a right to buv it and to-day
that Senator was the favorite son of
the lcjding Republican Stato as n
candidate for tho presidency. In the
courso of his speech Mr. Hill dis-
claimed that lie had authority to
sneak for the administration in oppo-
sition to tills investigation.
"This resolution is to be passed in
the dark' doclared Mr. Hill. "It is
not urged after specific allegations
against tlie honorable secretary oi tlio
tronsury but merely to gratify tho
curiosity of the friends of the senator
from Kansas. The country is to bo
treated to this snectuelo for tlio nov
elty of it tho fun of It."
It was belittling to tho Senate that
it should at this timo book to cast
doubt as to the action of the secretary
of the troasury in issuing bonds
"What sountor dare rise in his
place" asked Mr. Hill "and utter tho
slander that tho secretary of tlie
feasury or some of his subordinates
have received some compensation
home reward? There is no answer.
There is a moan contomptiblc insinu-
ation uot a direct charge llecauso
senators differ from the secretary of
the treasury and I differ from him
at timob must they drag in an insin-
uation of dishonorable dealing against
thu secretary? What if I offered a
resolution to investigate the senator
from Kansas?"
"I wouhl say go ahead" interposed
Mr. Poller
Mr. Hill said such a resolution
would carry an insinuation against
tlio Kanbas Senator.
Ir. Hill urraigned the Populist Sen-
ators in scathing torms. Ho first de-
scribed them as "the tailors of Tooley
street" who got together and solemn-
ly said: "We. the people of England."
He characterized thoin as "deserters"
from tho old parties who had "pooled
their grievances." They had offered
their voles for sale or rathor ex-
change on the tariH question when it
came hero. They are men of no fixed
ideas said lie. They aro the udvo-
catos of disorder aud scandal. The
Populist party thrives on scandal.
Their inr.in purpose is to throw mud
at the Democratic and Republican par-
ties. "And the time has come" de-
clared Mr. Hill "for the old parties to
mako common cause ugainst theso
mon."
A this point Mr. Hill exploded a dis-
tinct sonsation. He said tho prevalence
of charges of irregularity und wrong
was shown by the recent public al-
legations of Senator Chandler that the
frionds of Mr. McKinley were con-
ducting "a boodle campaign." Mr.
Hill said he had nothing to bay against
Mr. McKinloy. Ho udrolrod him for
his courage. He says ho is a candi-
date instead of saying he is "in tho
hands of friends."
Mr. Hill's experience was he said
that a man who startod "in the hands
of his frionds" wound up "in the
hands of tho enemy.'
"I had supposed Mr. McKinley was
making an honorable canvass" pro-
ceeded Mr. Hill "until I read the
Chandler statemont."
The Chandler chargos wero sent to
tho desk and read in full. Mr. Chand-
lor sat on the Republican sido smiling
as tlio reuding proceeded. After the
reading had concluded Mr. Hill went
on.
Those chargos had not been met he
said. No answer had boon submitted
to tlio sorious accusations of Mr.
Chandler. Reflections on his motives
wore no answer to the charges.
After ridiculing the fruitloss inves-
tigation Mr. Hill at 5 o'clock said he
would yield oxpeotingtogoon to-day.
