Huntley U. t* a Life Sentence.
Judge Dale has overruled the
motion for a new trial for drove
llimtly, convicted at Guthrie last
week of the murder ol Dell Man-
"ini', and sentenced him to the pen-
itentiary for life. Huntley is but
27 years old, and was a prominent
church and Sunday school worker
at Crescent City. He previously
resided at Independence, Kansas.
I he crime was committed last Aug
Manning being shot to death by an
assassin, who made a noise at liis
barn to attract him from the house,
about midnight. Tracks, which
Huntley's shoes fitted, were follow-
ed from the place ot shooting to nis
home, and he had borrowed a gun
several (lays before, which it was
proven had been shot off the day of
the murder, and it was upon this
evidence, together with bis strange
conduct after the murder and the
alleged fact that he was in love
with Manning's wife, and hoped to
win ner after getting the husband
out of the way, that he was covict-
cd. '1 he Mannings came fr'im To

subscriber. It is the most intricate
election law in the United States.
1'he State. Cajtitnl publishes the law
in full, with the following comment:
"It will be noticed that a nt.w
party, "The Free Silver Party," is
created by the atnendmcpts to the
general election law. There are
now four judges and four clerks
Notice also that all voters in cilies
of the first-class must register with
the city clerk in 189" on Monday
and Tuesday, the 221I and 23d of
March, and on Monday and l ues
day, the 29th and 30th of March.
The second section of this election
law is amusing in its declaration
that no one Khali be permitted t
vote 4,at any gi ueral election in th
territory of Oklahoma" until he h
registered with the city clerk. I'n
tier this law every farmer in the ter
ritory will have to come in and be
registered in the city clerk's oltice
before he can vote, and only four
days are given for this registration.
House bill No. says that tne
"ity assessor shall be elected, On
the same day another law was pa s-
ed which has been signed by the
ffovernor, creating a conntv aw. >r

election law are intened t<  disfr
hise every man who cannot re
and write, or is so old he cannot see
the lines on which to stamp his bal-
ot. It is a villianous ballot law
and will not stand in the courts. It
violates the federal statutes and the
organic act of the territory It will
lisfranchisc every full blood Indian
in Oklahoma, nearly every man
from Arkansas and some negros,
but it will not stand. The courts
will knock it out the first whack
they get at it. The law is so intri-
ate it is doubtful whether the most
intelligent man could vote this bal-
lot without committing serious er
s. V'ou notice the law does not
n allow a sample ballot to be
stuck up on the outside of the vo-
ace. The law seems to de-
lare that the more intricate the
ballot can be, the more ignorant the
people can be kept as to how to
vote it, the better can thepopocrat
ic party be protected.
1 he law allows three minutes to j
vote this popocratic ballot. We'll ,
water the average pop can't vote it :
in fifteen minutes, without biting
his tongue off.' i

New Marriage Law.
The new marriage law in Oklaho-
ma prohibits the union of step-fath-
er and step-daughter, step-mother
and stepsson, motPer-in-law and
son-in-law, father-in-law and daugh-
ter-in-law and black and whites.
The marriage law is fixed at 21 for
males and 18 for females, though
the court is impowcred to order a
marriage at any age where a couple
have become over sociable.
