Riot In Kentucky Excitement
Over Tragedy Is Intense.
Sougatvek W. Va.. Nov. 12. A J
shout for Jeff Davis uttered by a
drunken man on Denver Creek on the
Kentucky side of tho river today re-
sulted In n bloody tragedy in which
three men killed and three other
were wounded. There had been much ;
drinking after the election. Con IJs-
tep an old Confederate soldier was
among the menwho became intoxicat-
ed. When he yelled "Hurrah for Jeff
Davis." V. Praltr. a young man In the
crowd told Kstep to "shut up or he
would kill him." Knoch Hentley an-
other member of the crowd told Ks-
tep to "hurrah for anyone ho pleased.'
Prater then tvrned upon Hentley nnd
emptied his pistol at short range p
five shots tnklng effect. After ho hnd
fallen Hentley shot and killed Prater.
Hube Morgan a friend of Prater's
who had shot Hentley after tho latter

died soon after th shooting and Mor-
gan died two hours later. During the

Holli "c-phumrtr" ami boulevard" are
military term by origin. The original
"boulevard" was a bulwark or horizon-
tal part or the rumparl and an "ospki
nude" was originally the glacis or slope
of Ihe c'ltinterm-urp of a fortified place.
A writer 'JIM .carx ago noted that the
word' boulevard was -now chiefly tal.
en for the void space between the pl.i
els of a cllailel and the llrst houe;t of
a town:" hence ll.s extension to other
"void spaceV suitable for promenad-
ing. The old Trench 'esplanade" was
defined by t'otgraveas "a planing lev-
eling evening of ways" from Latin
"ctplunurc" to smooth or flatten out
whence the Kngllsh word "etpl.iln"
ami "explanation."

by asking who were the persons who
got all they could and did nothing In
return. Per some time there-was si-
lence but at last tho llttlo girl who
had obvlounly reasoned out the answer
Inductively from her own home experi-

confidence "Please sir It's the baby!"

COMMISSIONER MORRIS TALKS.'
Tells of Virtue of Indian Territory
Statehood and Jails.
The Port Worth Record of Satur-
day Bald:
K. B. Morris United States com-
missioner nt Hyan I. T. was bore yes-
terday. Mr. Morris left Rockwall coun-
ty Toxas for Indian Territory nlin
years ago. Since that time he has ris-
en to tho highest rank In the legal
profession In lib? chosen homo. At
this time he Is nn applicant for ap-
pointment as Pnlted States nttorncy
ror Indian Territory to succeed W. II.
Johnson who now holds this position
and who Is not an applicant for reap-
pointment. In speaking of matters In
general -In the Territory Mr. Morris
said:
"I am strongly in tavor of Joint
statehood and I believe that congress
will grant our prayer at the coming
session. Hut little Importance Is gen-
erally credited to the movement to or-
ganize a state of Indian Territory
alone not that a large number or res-
idents of Indian Territory are not rad-
ically In favor of having a separate
state but they realize that an effort
to carvo two states out of what N
now two territories will never pass
congress. Thr' nccosjty of statehood
Is too apparent to require argument.
We have the people we have the In-
telligence wo li.iv-' the wealth ami the
culture to govern ourselves and w.1
are stronger toduy In every quallt
required for statehood than any of
tlta proNent states were at the time
they wero admitted.
"Crime in Indian Territory Is rapid
ly on the decrease. Rigorous prose-
cution has made it as costly to be i
violator of the law In our sctlon. as
In. any other portion of the country.
At one time our docket was crowd'
with larceny casus. Today we havi
no more larceny cases per capita tn
nny other community. True som of
our Jails aro crowded but this Is
due to tho fact that wo aro enforcing
tho lnws against every violator and It
Is not duo to any epidemic of badness.
When a man go's Into trouble In
the territory he gets into the real sort
of trouble nnd he Is made tn pay the
penalty. In no bcctlon of this coun-
try do lawbreaken feel effects of the
law with mor force than In our sec-
In apeskitig of conditions in general
In tho torrltory Mq Morris states that
wl'h the farmiTa making good crop
and tho cattleman having fat cattlp
and everybody having either money at

ELECTION
INSPECTORS
ARE FOUND TO BE IGNORANT.
DID NOT KNOW DUTY.
The Hearst Investigation Brings Out
Much If Necessary He Will Take
Oath of Office and Force
the Courts to Act.
New York. Nov. 12.- Attorney Gen
eral Mayor announced that tho case'
of I'legal acts In the recent election
had been reported to both his office
nnd that of Superintendent Morgan In
uth a manner that ho had appointed
.las S. Jones of Brooklyn and .lumen
II. I.umnlr of New York as speclil
deputy attorneys general to assist the
rer.ulnr staff In the Investigation nnd
prosrcullon of the election eases 'f
lKrtod. Neither tin attorney general
nor Superintendent Mou.an would dis-
cuss the slttuuio'i I'Mipi.t. It was
learned however thai as a result of
th' investigation ovideuco had o v
procured which would be taken 'o the
grand Jury next wek
' Tlii' Invcstlguton so far has result-
ed in revelations of the most sensa-
tional character ns to the Ignorance
and Incompetency of the election In
upctors. It Is the opinion of all the
state officials that the Irregularltoti
developed were not so much of fraud
ns of pure and simple Ignorance.
ii was learned today that tho ballot
box tound In the barber shop In the
Twenty-first assembly district was
only for mutilated ballots and the re-
port of the canvass shows that ten de-
tjectlvo ballots were recorded the
Sunn' number thai was found In the
hov Another similar box was fou.i I
tjoriny at a polling place on Wes'
Thirty-eighth street.
Malingers of W. It. Hearst's coutest
la I in that the returns from tho olec-
on district cnntnlnv of the Municipal
Ownership league which aro coming
III show. In every Instance a gain for
.11 r. Hearst over the figures roported
liy the district election hoard poll
ol'rks. The figures were' carefully
gathered and classified with the ob-
ject of using them ns evidence In Uie
proceeding to contest the vote.
It was expected today that tine of
Uie Tnmmnny leaders will be arrest-
!(M within a short time on charge of
.vfed'Jt'ng tile e-lectlon law.
After the grand Jury Indorses the
Indictments which have been drawn
up charging assaults at tho pedis
Monday many other arrests will be
ordered. Mr. Hearst's lawyers are
securing numbers of nllldavlts today
and assert that within a few days
they will be proparod to secure the
arrest of sixty men for various viola-
tions of the election lnws.
A Jeromo watcher today made affi-
davit to the law committee of the
Jerome nominators that despite his
protests both Democratic nnd Iterpub-
llcan Inspectors had refused to exclude
men from voting on other names than
their own. and thnt one Tammany In-c-.pector
had Ignored Mh protests
against defective Tammany ballots In
more than thirty cases in one election
district In the Sixth assembly district.

but nothing will he officially said
about. Ihelr Intentions for some days
vet. Mr. H'arst's counsel has told him
thnt one suro method of having nls
title to tho mayorallty elther confirm-

test Into the eourta. The legal pre-
coduro necessary for the validation or

DELIVERY OF PATENTS.
Question Agitated as to Who W ll
Have Tnl Duty.
Tho question as to who shnll de-
liver tho patents to allotments to the
allottees after the cessntlem of nihil
government next March Is to be set
tied by the United States government
this winter. If congress approve the
measures passed by the Indian coun-
cils appointing commissioners to dust-
up Uie n (fairs of the flvo civilized na-
tions tin so commissioners will proh
ably have elmrge of Oils work If the
Interior Department fnlln to approve
tho appointment of I lien- eoinmls-
mlslons tho clollverv ol cle (ls will fall
to tlio lot of tho Commissioner to the
Plvo Civilized Tribes or some otht r
accredited representative of the Sec
ivtary of the interior.
Pp to tho present tlmo 30000 deeds
have been delivered to nlleittuos. This
work Is being done by tho chiefs o
the Indian nations. There uro over
200000 patents yet to bo deliv-
ered and this work will requlro about
two ywtrs t the ordinary methods
now employed.
The Interior Department Ib better
preiKired lo deliver the patents than
the Ufccsor lo the Indlnn chief
would bo. The tribal representative
would probably not have the host fa
clinics for caring for the undelivered
deeds and some of them might bo lost
or destroyed by (Ire as hns been the
'se at t lines under tribal regime. The
United States government could pre-
serve the deeds In flro-proof vaults
and keep accurate records and df liver
them more rapidly than the trllcil
representatives.

RAYMOND'S
SUCCESSOR
BELIEVED THE PRESIDENT WILL
NAME JUDGE THOMAS.
It Was McKlnley's Intention to Re.
Appoint Judge Thomas but Plans
Were Revised Under Pressure
of Influence
Washington. Nov i. There Is
v ry good reason to believe that tho
president has about concluded to
name Judge John 11. Thomas of Mus-
kogee to succeed Judge Itnymond as
Judge of the Western District of In-
dian lerrltory. Judge Raymond's
erm will expln- Dec. 17 next and it
s pretty well understood In Washing-
ton that ho will not tK. reappointed.
Judge I'homns wns In Wnshlngtou
several days last wevk and called on
the president twice When nsked tho
purpose or hU visit Judge Thomas
replied he was here merely on somo
department matters hut it was learn-
Vi Unlay that during oiu of his calls
he president Intimated a willingness
to appoint him. Since then several
telegram have been received by tho
president from lawyers In Musl.ogco
and at other imlnts In the Territory
asking thnt Judge Thomas be appoint-
Judge Thomas preceded Judge Hay-
tnond on this bench nnd it wiib tho
ntontlon or tlio late President McKln-
ley to reappoint him but shortly before
the expiration or his Krm such polltl-
ca Influence wns brought (o bear In
behalf or Judge Raymond who wag a
resident of Illinois nnd n constituent
of Speaker Cannon's that President
McMnley was constrained to revise
his plans and named Raymond
President ReKisevelt It Is under-
stood lias nlways had a high regard
Tor Judge Thomas and something
more than a year ago oxpresscd a wll-
Ungues to put lilm back on tho bench
but nt that time Judge Thomns did
not care for n Federal appointment.
Judge Thomns' son was a Hough Hid-
or. and he himself defrayed tho coat
of recruiting two companies or that
regiment circumstances of course
which recommend him ns much as
nny of tho telegrams that tlto Presl-
dent has received within tho last few
days.
Judge Thomas it fs hardly neces-
sary to remark was ono or the candi-
date's for "congressman nt Inrge" nom
(natcd by (ho Sequoynh convention
but ITio obligation Imposed on him by
this honor conrerre-el is not such as
would preclude the acceptance or the
