mitted here by Coroner Hocker at Purcell
without bail, on a charge of criminal as

wife and children alone. Some relatives
spent the afternoon with her, but retbrued
to their homes late in the afternoon.
About dark Reynolds came to the house.
Ho had been drinking aud tried to got
Mrs. Williams to diink -with nim.
She became very indignant and
ordered him from the place. At
bed time, after putting the chil
dren, one aged 5, and an infant to bed she
retired. Sometime in the night Reynolds
came back and by some means slipped the
latch which fastens the door and entered
the house. Mrs. Williams was awakened
by the bed clothes being turned up from
the foot of the bed and piled on her head.
She struggled to free herself and man
aged to see who her assailant was, but
Reynolds, by severely choking her, accom
plished his purpose.
Reynolds is an all-round tough and had
just been released from Fort Smith jail,
where he was held on several criminal
charges.

Circumstance Surrounding the Eecent
Crime at Edmond.
Special Correspondence to tho Dally Eagle.
Edmond, Ok., Feb. 13. It has been with
a feeling of pride and pleasure that the
people of Edmond point to the fact that
its citizens were the first to erect a school
house; the first to build a church in Okla
homa ind the moral integrity of our peo
ple was unquestionable. Until recently it
could be truthfully said that not a single
crime marred the record of Edmond and
its beautiful surroundings. Would we
could have' preserved that record un
broken, but to our sorrow we are called on
to record a crime, the horrors of which
have cast a gloom over the entire coin
uiuuity. Early in the settlement of this country
there came an honorable young man from
Canada by the uauo of Charles Grant.
He located three and one-half miles
northwest from Edmond. He was about
22 years old and was respected by all who
knew him. About Christmas he disap
peared. For a while nothing was thought
of this, but when it became known that
his place, together with his team and en
tire household effects, were in the possesr
sion of one Ed Belden, who reported that
he had purchased all from Charley Grant
for the petty sum or 400 and that the
young man had returned to his home in
Canada, grave suspicions were at once
aroused. Among the many friends of
Charley Grant was Robert Galbreath, who
has served as marshal with credit. Bob,
as he is familiarly known, thoughtstrange
Charley would leave without a parting
word to any one and telegraphed to the
relations of the missing man, and
found that neither his aunt in
Wichita nor his father, in Canada, knew
of his whereabouts. This confirmed his
suspicion and ho at once began a thorough
investigation. Under various pretests he
visited the neighborhood of Charley
Grant's home, aud every thread of evi
dence indicated that he had been mur
dered for his property, and that Ed. Bel
den and his uncle, Charles Holly, were
responsible for the horrible crime.
Mr. Galbreath determined to make one
more investigation before bavins any ar
rests made, so on last Sunday Galbreath
once more resorted to his favorite business,
that of horse hunting. Ashe approached
tne house .of lloliy he found ms move
ments were closely watched by Mrs. Holly.
Ou nearing her lie inquired once more
about the lost horses, and asked if the men
folks were about.
She said yes. Mr. Galbreath asked her
to call them out. She went into tho house,
shutting the door, and several minutes
elapsed before It was again opened by
Holly, who seemed displeased with Mr.
Galbreath's presence, aud roughly asked
what he wanted. The usual inquiry about
the horses was made. All this time Holly
had his hands in his pockets, and it was
plainly to be seen ho had a pistol in each.
Mr. Galbreath adroitly turned the con
versation to the value of claims. At this
point Ed. Belden cauie out. He was not
long in admitting that he had bought
Charley Grant's claim; had paid $50 down;
was to nay the balance soon; that Grant
had tried to act badly in tho matter,
trying to take advantage of him.
and that he had left for home. Here Mr.
Galbreath said: "Well, that's just like
him. I expeeted-nothinir bettor of him,"
This remark was well taken by the men,
but the woman showed great uneasiness.
At this turn Holly claimed that his
neighbor was a sooner, and that he being
a ware that Mr. Galbreath did some land
business, wished him to find some one to
contest said neighbor, promising to fur
nish sufficient proof. Here Mr. Galbreath
promised to bring parties to contest if he
would convince them that there was suffi
cient ground for contest. Ad this was
agreed to and Holly was to receive half
that was made.
At this point the woman's uneasiness
became very-manifest and she called Ed
Belden into the house. He returned in
stantly and tried to interrupt the conversa
tion. Mr. Galbreath saw that he could
gain nothing by prolonging the conversa
tion aud rode off, promising to come out
with ttie contesting partj' that evening.
He went to a. neighbor, asking him if he
knew if Grant was a citizen of the United
States aud if iic had not skipped because
he was not. The man replied ho did not
know, but that they were haviug some
trouble about the relinquishment.
By this time Mr. Galbreath was fully con
vinced his suspicions were sufficiently Avell
founded to procure a warrant lor the ar
rests. Ho went to Guthrie, swore out a
warrant before Commissioner Robert
son, procured the assistance of Marshals
Payne and Overton aud Hunt of this
place and arrested Ed Belden, Charles
ilolly and wife.
While the prisoners were being taken to
Guthrie by Marshals Payne aud Overton
Mr. Galbreath wired the parents of Char
ley Grant of the probable murder aud the
airest of tho supposed murderers. Ou
Monday morning he organized a search
ing party and alter a threo hour's search
found the remains of Charles YV. Grant
buried under a manure pile beside the sta
ble. Upon examining tlio remains it was
found he had been shot, the bullet enter
ing the right side and coming out on the
left side of his back.
Word lias been received from the father
nnd brother from Brockvilie, Canada, that
they are on their way to Edmond.
"What a way to spell fish,' said Pat,
when he saw the name Psyche ou a ship.

Crawfordsville. Ark., Feb. 13. A hor
rible double murder was committed two
miles west of here hist night. Ada Goss,
the daughter of 1L C. Goss, n highly re
spected citizen, was found dead near her
parents' residence with her body full of
buckshot, aud a short distance further the
remains of George Gorvet, employed by
Mr. Goss, were discovered. The particu
lars of tne tragedy at Crawfordsville

during the night iind a thorough search
ia made but without success until day
light, wheu her mutilated corpse was

She had been assaulted aud then murder
ed. Her face had been hacked up with a
hatchet in a terrible manner and she had
been shot through the body. The whole
neighborhood soon gathered to view the
ghastly sight and seaich for the murderer
began at once. Suspicion pointed to Cor
vett, who had been around the house be
fore iu an intoxieated condition. From
his wife it was learned necuine home early
in the morning drunk ana informed her
that he had murdered Miss Goss,
at the same time threatening ro
kill her if she did not keep hijicret.
Without waiting for the slosv" process of
law the infuriated people took Corvett to
the scene of the murder and with an axe
cut off his arms, legs and severed the head
from the body and when Miss Goss
"brother-in-law left the mob was preparing

lips, of New York, representing the Mer
chants' River Line Navigation company, is
in the city en route to Omaha, where final
arrangements are to be made for establish
ing a river freight line from that place to

willleaye each, terminus daily, the trip
being made in fifteen days with stops at
all principle river points. The rate on

value of 5100 each.
PARNELL CONGRATULATED.
London, Feb. 14. This morning's Post,
in its article on the Parnell commission
report says: "We sincerely congratulate
Mr. Parnell, who has unmistakably, so far
as his personal character is concerned,
f been the victim of gross injustice, aud
whose separation from these odious impu
tations will do muca to neutralize the
shock given to public confidence by the
long unanswered repetition of such
charges. It remains for the British elec
torate to estimate alike the acquittal of
Parnell and the condemnation of Davitt,
though the honor is due to Davitt that he
was the chief denunciator of crime nnd
outrage.''

Tho Czaroxitz.'s Had Manners.
A Very bad impression was made by
the czarowitz at tho German autumn
maneuvers. He is a delicate, stupid
looking lad with execrable manners. Ai
a proof of his glaring want of tact it may
be mentioned that he persisted in ad
dressing the German officers in French,
although he speaks their own language
very well. The Emperor William wa:
palpably disgusted by the manifold
gaucheries of his boorish guest, and
treated him with the most frigid cour
tesy. After the state banquet, when the
emperor and tne czarowitz passed slowly
through the salons, the Russian prince
did not in any way ticfcnowledge the
salutations he received, and his ostenta
tious indifference excited a variety ol
caustic criticisms. Loudon Punch.

ttmw Tey Work with. Show.
Great 'interest has been manifested
since Saturday afternoon in tho running
of the electric -cars, as this was the first
snow storm of any magnitude since they
had "been in operation. To their credit
be it said that, they worked admirably,
and that had it not been forthehorso
cars on the same tracks passengers by
the electrics wouTd have had little to
complain of. The newly equipped elec
Iric snow plows were put on-early in the
afternoon, and with one exception did
Uieir work admirably, while to supple
ment them in several cases an ordinary
plow was pushed ahead of a motor car.
The tracks of the electric lines were as
cleanly s swept as if by hand, and the
smooth rails all day Sunday were in
markedcontrast to the ice coated iron on
other line's. Good work in this direc
tion with the bulk of tho snow once off,
was done by the small brushes carried
by each electric car.
The electric plows are novelties in their
way and most interesting to watch at
work. Each sweeper consists of a plat
form car mounted on a four wheeled
truck, two Thomson-Houston motors con
necting with the axles furnishing motive
power. Underneath each end of the car
is a large cylindrical brush reaching
across the track at an angle of about
43 degs. Upon the car is an electric
motor of fifteen horse power, which
runs these brushes at a rapid rate of
speed. An upright standard in the cen
ter of the car supports the trolley, which
is similar to those on the box cars, &ad
around it is a group of incandescent
lights. The motors which run tbe car
are of thirty horse power. The car runs
either way, and the brushes are so geared
that the-'one on either end can be oper
ated while the other is lifted from tbe
track. They sweep the track very clean,
and throw clouds of fine snow ahead of
tliem as thev do itr. Boston Journal.
The Sultan's Cariosities.
One cannot be surprised to hear that
the sultan thinks of turning his innum
erable curiosities into money. Those
who have been allowed to visit the Dar-es-Saadefc
and St. Irene a rare privilege
nowadays have been wondering ever
since, probably, what motive or supersti
tion, lias checked his majesty so long.
Nor is it altogether surprising that a
London jeweler of position should hesi
tate to accept'the charge of valuing these
miscellaneous hoards a dozen experts
of the most consummateassurance would
find more than they could deal with
there. One thing is certain that nobody
can form an idea how much this aston
ishing collection is worth. We may sup-
pose irom tne cnoice ot a 3eweier no aci-
L vise him, that the sultan puts most value
on his gems. Certainly they are so many
and so huge that all the crown treasures
of Europe could not equal the display
if only they be genuine. But there is
grave doubt on that question, to begin
witlu
Since tho-gates have been closed to all
but a few favored visitors, there has
been no effective supervision of tho
guardians, who, it must be supposed,
are not paid more punctually than other
offiJs. It was on their .,conjilaint of
purloining strangers that the old facili
ties were withdrawn, and some think
that they had a motive quite different
from hbnest indignation in that protest.

PHOTOGRAPHY AS A PASTIME.
The Possibilities for Pleasure and Instruc
tion TVhlcU It Preseats.
The wonderful growth of amateur pho
tography &b a popular outdoor pastime
illustrates in a marked degree the ele
vating tendencies of the modern devices
for health giving recreation. To the lover
of those polite diversions that are devoid
of the elements of daring adventure and
the prowess of reckless exposuro, the
study of field photography presents at
tractions that are imcomparably superior
to those of other outdoor pastimes.
Photography enjoys an acknowledged
supremacy over all other outdoor sports
in that it cultivates the finer instincts
and depends not for its fascinating feat
ures upon an exhibition of physical har
dihood or athletic training. The pursuit
of the pastime is beyond question enno
bling and refining in its influence. It de
velops a keen and artistic eyo for the
beautiful in nature. Through the mys
tic and enchanting alchemy of the "dark
room" it brings the receptive mind into
contact with the great Artist who has
filled the earth and sky with such regal
beauty.
Tho whole realm of nature with its
green fields and woodland symposium !
of daisies and buttercups, its babblinc
brooks, where tho laughing rivulets go
clattering with their silver heels over the
stony depths and the nodding lilies drink
in copious libations from the perpetual
fount all this is the kingdom of the ama
teur photographer.
Tho pastimo is one that not only con
duces to physical exhilaration, but,
through tho fascinating mystery of its
results, it engages our admiration and
enlists our ripest mental endeavor. Other
outdoor sports are largely calculated for
the development of the body without
rendering to tho mind any adequate rec
ompense. Moreover, such pastimes as
hunting, fishing, lawn tennis aud base
ball combine elements of roughness that
are incompatiblo with the refined deli
cacy of the gentler sex. Photography is
a recreation admirably adapted to both
sexes.
After all, the excellence of tho results
accomplished are dependent upon the
skill of the artist. The time of tho ex
posure must be regulated according to
tho light and tho character of tho subject.
To make indiscriminate "shots" at all
sorts of objects is tho pastime of the
schoolboy and not of the artist. Tho most
beautiful offects are obtained by a proper
study of the lights and shadows of the
landscape, coupled with a skillful ex
posuro of such duration as is best calcu
lated to draw out all tho beauties of the
scene. The dark foliage of trees will re
quire' a longer exposure than a house that
has been painted white. Aud in this
connection it is proper to remark that the
most inane and insipid feature of the pas
time is tho photography of houses. 2fa
artist who is in lovo with the art will
wasto any of his precious negatives upon
houses oxcept, perchance, thoso that are
singularly beautiful and rustic in their
architectural conception.
Landscapes constitute the poetry of
photography. They make up tho rhyth
mic beauty of the photographic melody.
A proper appreciation of tho art is pre
dicted upon the delicate imprcssionable
ness of the artist with rcferenco to natu
ral scenery.
The photography of faces that have
been previously prepared to the "ordeal"
should bo left for tho "professional"
whose appreciation of the art is circum
scribed by theliraitationscf theulmighty
dollar. It is his business to flatter human
vanity for sordid lucre. The amateur
must not prostitute tho art to such base
ends. If he desires to embalm a sweet
face or a graceful form on the unfading
tablets of photography, he should "take"
them by the instantaneous proce&s, when
they are not posing for it.
Groups of morrymakers, taken at a
picnic or outing, without any warning
from the operator, form a laughable feat
ure of photography, and tho pictures
have tho rare merit of being exceedingl v
"natural."
The time is coming when an educated
man will not think of starting upon a
pilgrimage without hi3 trusty camera,
upon whoso never failing power ho may
depend to secure a panorama of his
journey, which will be one of the com
forts of his declining years. A glance
at tho pictures will revivo a thousand
tender associations of earlier days.
The time is also coming when every
educated man who builds himself a
home to live in, will givo as much at
tention to the construction of the "dark

results of a day's tramp in
iield and forest, are to bo found the true
delights of photography. Bore are
evolved by the wand of the photographic
wizard, the pictures that will hang on
memory's wall for many years to come.
After the day's battle and ths ignoble
strife for gam is ended, it is sweet to re
tire into the quiet seclusion of the en
chanted dark room, and bring to light
tho hidden sun pencihngs of a long
ramble through the woods in tbe tu
tu mn days.
The dark room is an institution that
will mollify the asperities of connubial
life and dissipate the corroding pcrpJexf
ties of business care. Forest sad Stream.
