Guthrie Daily Leader:
Through sale by the sheriff this af-
ternoon the Welnland farm, southwest
of the city, there comes to light a re-
markably tragic story beginning with «fl
the authentic history of Oklahoma
territory, tyenty-one years ago yes- j.
terday. The story embraces death by I
accident, desertion, insanity, divorce, r
suicide and a scattered family, ;
One of the early settlors was John «L
Weinland, a young German, who home- ,
steaded a claim of eighty acres of j J*
j land three miles south and a little 4*
west of Guthrie. With him there set- ■
tied on this lltt'e place his father and
mother and a brother. A few years 1 ^
after the settlement, when the Wein- i •,
lands had begun to prosper. they I
started to build a modern home. John i w
Weinland, while driving out to the city [
with a load of lumber one night, went ! ^1
off a bridge and was killed. 1 ^
Within a few months some say six 1 a
weeks, John Weinlnnd's widow mar-1 J
1 ried Peter Siex, who had taken up a | 4*
| claim two miles east of the city. She
I abandoned the Weinlnnd's claim, leav- '•
ing the relatives of her late husband
in charge.
Jake Weinland. who afterward com-
mitted suicide, contested the claim of
the widow, who had resumed designs
on the land ln behalf of her only
child, John. Jake claimed that his
brother, John, was not s naturalized
