;0f A DEATH
AT SHAWNEE
Marrls .Killed While Family
Ate Dinner
HIRED :MAN SUSPECTED
Maybe Case of Only Self De
struction Shawnee, O. T., June 2. The News has
the following on the mysterious death of
"Win. Yakish, living: about one and one
half miles on the reservation. He was
killed in the bedroom of his home while
the family were eating dinner. Mrs.
yakish heard the report of the revolver,
e. 3S-calibre, and went at once to the room
where she found Mr.4 Yakish lying on
the floor dead, the ball having penetrated
the loft breast and passing through the
heart, causing death instanter. It is not
I)uaniy..v -
oi muraer or suiciue. j.esiuiuuj
GTakish hired a man to help him with the
dairy work and farming and It is suspi
cioned that he may have committed the
murder, though it Is not known.
The man Is now missing, and who was
only hired by Mr. Yakish yesterday, is
unknown to the family. Ho had not been
about home for some time before the
ehootink took place.
The weapon used belonged to Mr. Yak
ish and was kept in the north bedroom,
en entrance to which is through a door
leading out of the sitting room, the north
..window, and the only one to the room,
tind in front of which in tho middle of the
floor the body was found lying on the
back, was open, being hoisted half way
up.
There is no notive known for tho
stranger to have committed the act as
there had been no quarrel or words of
an unpleasant nature between them that
Is known of. Ho may have been about
the yard but not in the house before or
tot the time of shooting and has not been
seen since by anyone.
The news of tho killing soon reached
tho city and it was not long before a
crowd was on the scene, Mr. Yakish being
well known, having conducted a dairy for
gome time. One of his boys is engaged
In the First National bank.
The officials, both county and city police
were on tho ground making a full investi
gation and giving all tho information pos
sible, though there was but little to be
trained beyond the fact that Mr. Yakish
was dead with a bullet through his heart
nnd tho weapon- a 32-calibro revolver,
lying in the room by his side.
Further inquiry by the officers may lead
to the shedding of more light, but until
thlB shall have been done, the unfortu
nate affair will remain a mystery. The
deceased leaves a wife and quite a fam
ily of children. He was 43 years of age.
NOT INSANE, BUT SICK.

discovered that Mr. Collins had consump

the hotel and provided with a- nurse
and medicine, but the dreaded disease had
secured a firm footing, and Mr. Collins
died early Sunday morning. The deceased
had lived for some time among friends

LIFE OF ROY CASHION.
Something of Man to Whom a Monu
ment Has Been Raised.
Guthrie, O. T., June 2. Tho Hennessey
Eagle gives the following sketch of the
life of Roy V. Cashion, to whom a mon
vmont has beon erected at Hennessey:
"Roy Victor Cashion, fifth son of Frank
8. and Josophine Weber Cashion, was
born March 36, 1S&, at Medina, Mich.,
whore the first seven years of his life
wero spent. At this time his father
moved to Baldwin, Mich., where they re
sided for six years, then decided to cast
their lot with the people of the great
southwest. Thus it wasvln the year 1S1
that the subject of our sketch began life
In Hfenaessey, O. T.
"For three years Roy attended our pub
lic schools, graduating from the high
school in the class of 'ST. which was

"During vacations and after the com
pletion of his school work, he -was em
ployed as clerk by different ones of our
merchants, who placed the utmost ,con-
fidence in his honor and business ability.
"At the age of 15 Roy V. Cashion united
with the 2Tethodist Episcopal church at
this place. He was a member of the order
of 'The Coming Men of America, also
belonged to the 'Pat Hennessey Rifle com
pany,' organized as city guard.
"During the Spanish-Omerican war, at,i
the first call for Oklahoma volunteers,
this brave lad resigned his position with
the grocery firm of Griffin & Griffin, and
on Appril Si, 1S8S, enlisted In the United
Etates volunteer cavalry. He was mus
tered into the service Hay 5 and assigned
to Troop D in the regiment under the
command of Colonel Wood and Lieuten
ant Colonel Roosevelt, which wa3 then
forming at San Antonio, Tex. In the
following June this regiment sailed for
Cuba, arriving there on the 22d of that
month. There, in the battle of San Juan
nnI( on JuJy Jf Roy v Cashion was
killed; three days later he was interred
on the battle field, was afterward ex
humed and brought back to his native
land, and now his remains rest in the
family lot in the Hennessey cemetery;
while in the public park there stands a
beautiful monument erected, to his mem
ory by the patriotic people of his city
and territory."
MYTHOLOGY OF IOVAS."
Gods, Nymphs, Satyrs and Centaurs in
the Legends.
Chandler, O. T., June 2. The mythology
of the Iowa Indians like the imaginary
cohorts of Greecian, "gods, goddesses.
nymphs, satyrs, centaurs," contains some
queer angels of "assistant gods." They
believe that the great Indian Zeus' celes
tial cabinet consists of seven angels, or
the Great Spirits' agents, declares the
Stroud Messenger. Each "angel" attends
to his own special department. All tho
"angels" are wholly or partly like tho
fabled centaur, lower animals. It is be
lieved that the God of Lightning Is an
exceedingly largeb lack eagle, who, when
he winks with his large fiery eyes, sends
lightning either to punish or scare the
dwellers on the lower world. Very ancient
but implicitly believed Iowa tradition
relates that the black eagle angels killed
only one Iowa Indian during the last COO
years, or as far back as the oral history
of the tribe extends. That bad Indians
was killed by lightning for having been
a first class heathen1 liar and deceiver.
Long ago, when the exceeding numerous
Iowas lived in and owned the whole
present state of Iowa, that noted bad In
dian invited tho several thousand mem
bers of the tribe to an extra sumptuous
feast, to be given by him on his exten
sive wigwam premises during the first
days of the green corn moon. Many
thousands camo there from all parts of
tho long and broad .lands of the Iowas.
When all were on his premises he laughed
in their hungry looking faces, tolling
them that there would be no feast, that
he had simply fooled them, lied to the
whol tribe. Suddenly the Lightning
God's wrath was kindled against the
wholesale liar, and forthwith winked his
fiery eyes in thoc, loudless sky and killed
the liar with lightning. The black eagle
angel acted very discreet, just and com
plimentary in never having occasion to
kill another Iowa liar.

address of the Senate Debating club, in

E. Asp of Guthrie, agreed to talk to tho
club in his stead. The evening was stodmy
but a fair-sized audience greeted the
speaker and enjoyed his practical talk.
This Is the second time this club has
taken part in trie events of commence

some prominent citizen of our own terri
tory address them, is to be commended.
Last year Hon. Frank Green was the
speaker. Mr. Asp was at a disadvantage
In that ho was notified such a short time
before hand, but the students knew they
could count on his friendship and help
and were not at all disappointed In their
choice- His visits to chapel In the old
building were always memorable occa
sions and his student friends were glad to
see him again. The program of the even
ing was as follows:

tery. Queenan did not drink. He wa3 never
known to ouarrel or use offensive lan-
guage. Ho had no bad habits except that
he was knpwn to have gambled only a
short time before the tragedy occurred.
His pistol was empty when found.
Queenan's wife was Ella Housh. She
was the only woman he had ever been
known tn -nm for rr annear nt till Inter
ested In outside his own family. They !
had been married four or Ave years and 1
had at that time one little daughter,
named Rowena. j
Shortly prior to his marriage Queenan
had conducted a barber shop on the south
side of Main street, at a point about
where the new Lion store la now located.
while Ella Housh was amployed In a
millinery store on the opposite side of
the street. They married after a brief
courtship. His wife's character, so far
as known, was above reproach, and there
seemed to haye been no occasion for
jealousy on the husband's part, and he
has never intimated such a thing.
During his three years of confinement
Queenan has been a model prisoner, and
though he hns had a number of opportu
nities to make his escape, he has never
shown the slightest disposition to got
away. He has at all times manifested
absoluto indifference to the final outcome
of his case, which has bpen a matter of
mysteary to his friends and lawyers, aa
well as to the Sneral nubile.
Queenan was indicted nr 21. 1900.
His trial began on the Sth of the aueoted-
ing month. He was oonv ctcd and sen-
tentrcd to hang. An appeal was taken to
the territorial supreme court, where the ;
case was affirmod. It was thsn taken by
writ of error to the supreme court of
the United States, and tha final verdict
nas ucen given. 1
Throughout the three years that the
that the!
has been dragging through the
courts the defendant's araerou friend
have remained staunch. An applteiUon
will probably be made to the &rrwx
for commutation, and It la not likely to
meet with resistance or even a rmon-
strancc.
Queenan's attorneys are J. W. Johneon.

Since the tragedy Queenan's father has
died, and. It is believed, from grief and
worry over the matter, and it te feared
Ids poor old mother will not rorvlve the
later Intelligence. His brother waa ad
vised of the supreme court' decision last
night, and went home to break the sad
nekvs to the family.
