:1 11 if I 1 WAS A DESPERATE DEED. ;Tbe Killing of Two Outlaws in Okla homa. thrie, Ok., Not. 8 -W. D. Foe- sett.Ynited States marshal, said Tes- that the killing of the out laws, "Bert" Casey and Edward ' -Simms, by "Fred" Hudson andF ILLnckett, near Geo Springs last Monday was one of the most desper ate encounters he knew of in his ex perience in running down criminals. For six weeks Hudson and Luckett had been traveling with them as sup posed members of their gang. A plan was laid to trap Casey and Bimms by taking them to Cleo Springs to rob a bank. The party camped in a pasture three miles from there last Saturday. "Casey sent Hudson to Cleo Springs to look over the ground. Hudson told Luckett that on Monday morn ing they would cook breakfast, wash the jAsltes and then Bit down ly the aifp-flre to oil their pistols, Hudson osite Casey and Luckett opposite mnis. When Hudson nodded bis aead i to Luckett each was to "cover his man." The plan worked without a hitch. When . Hudson "covered" Casey he said: "Throw up your hands, Casey, and don't go after your gun, or I'll kill you, for I have the drop on you." Casey reached for his pistol and Hudson fired, the bullet striking Casey in the chest. Casey fired and missed Hudson, who then fired three more bullets into Casey's chest. While dying Casey struggled to get aim, but fired his pistol in the air. Luckett was slower in "covering" Simms, who drew his pistol and fired once, winsing his man, after which his pistol failed to work. Luckett shot Simms four times. A farmer who had gone to the pun- ure to look after his cattle, witness- the fight. The firing wns at such cloV range that the faces of the out were powder burned. - Had the bank robbery scheme fail ed, the outluws were to bo led into a trap by attempting to liberate their partner, George Moran, now in jail at Lawton, and on rial for ttie mur der of Jay BeembloBsotn in a holdup near Hush Springs in August, 1D01. Luckett and Hudson were released from the federal jail here about two months ago on bond. Luckett is charged with "bootlegging" in Woodscounty and Hudson with rob bing a postofiice near Weatherford. They are said to have known Casey tor a year or two. Their original plan was to capture him alive, but both Casey and Simms were con stantly armed, even when eating, and night Casey went away from the mn anil alpnt nlnnn T.nrkpt t and iy r r- ' Hudson decided that the only way to get the outlaws was to kill them and this was done.

How He Woo the Prince's Favor. From th Sew York Tlmei. The crown prince of Siam, while he bas a right royal impression of his own dignity, is not without a sense f humor. He has a fluentcommand m i i m i: 1 J ily in that language when he wishes toKoeo, but until. his visit to this eity no one suspected that he was an expert in its Idioms. In passing it maybe said that one of the most cherished decorations the king of Siam can bestow is the Order of 4he White Elephant. While in New York the prince was the recipient of much attention from a certain city official who had been forgotten when Kaiser Wilhelm dis tributed ribbons, crosses and jewelry in return for the entertainment of his brother, Prince Heinrich. The offi cial hoped to so impress the Siamese visitor that a decoration from the guest's kingly father would be forth comine. That there might be no jfctake the official approached a ,' aember of the prince's suite and did dome broad hinting. The hints were conveyed to the prince, whose only comment .was: "Mr. is a nice man. I like him. . I like him too well in fact, to leave him with a white elephant on his hands." .- , r An Tmr KMeay I Dr. Bobbt' Srarsfos PJUs wwl J0 W BtetrM. ASter&MB3sCUa(OTlLZ. II law 5 IT Monster Fossil Frog Bones. Norman, Ok., Nov. 8. H. W. Menke, of the Field Columbian Museum, Chicago, is in Oklahoma collecting foeeile. A few years a so, near Orlando, many fossil bones were found. They were small backbones, leg bones and a few skulls and teeth. Most of these specimens were sent to j Doctor S. W. Williston. of the Kan-; eas I'uiversity for identification.. He; prououuced them exceedingly rare. Doctor Wiltiston last year went to Chicago to accept a position in the ' Field Columbian Museum. He sent; Mr. Menke to Oklahoma, where he has collected a number of these bones. Speaking of the animals to which the bones belonged, Mr. Menke said they probably were members of the class known as amphibians, or possibly a few of them were primitive reptiles. The amphibians constitute the class of animals now represented by frogs, tonds and salamanders. Theextlnct bones were much larger, however, than those of amphibians now living. If one can imagine a frog as big as an ox he will have some idea of the appearance of those prehistoric uiou sters that once flourished in Okla homa. For all fresh cuts or wounds, either ou the human subject or on animals, Bullard's Snow Liniment vis excel lent; while for corn-hunkers' sprained wrists, barbed-wire cuts and sores on working horses, it cannot be too highly commended. Trice, 25 and 50 cents. U. L. Tucker. Ben Franklin's Statement Macon, Mo., Nov. 8. There is a world of consolation in the proclama tion issued by County Central Com mitted Chairman Ben Franklin to the Democrats today. Ordinarily Macon Comity goes Democratic all tho way from 500 to 1,000. Tues day she careened a bit, and Itepubli caus slipped into five important of fices. Mr. Frnuklin's tnauifesto reads: "Whom the Lord loveth hechus tenth. That was true when the world wns young and equally so to day. Just about the time we con clude thut the world and the fullness thereof is ours by divine right some thing happens. This occurred Tues day. We will let that pass. The future is bright with promise for the Democratic party in State and na tion. We will just pick up our old flintlocks and try 'em again, and, my word for it, if we all do our duty at the next election the Lord will be gin to love the other fellows some, and the chastening they so greatly need will be rigorously administer ed."

Mysterious Death of a Girl. Graham, aged 16 years, a well known young woman of El Paso, was found dead to-day in the foothills on the Mexico side of the Rio Grande. It is not known whether she committed suicide or was murdered. Several months ago she became in volved in a love affair with a young man of New Mexico. Her father, who objected to the young man's gallantries, was found a few days lat er tied to the rails of the Southern Pacific tracks. He was discovered and released. The girl's sweetheart is now charged in the New Mexico courts with tying her father to the. rails. Miss Graham's death makes the affair a deeper mystery. Accidentally Killed Himself.

Plaa lader Way te Establish Rr-alar Lilt mt Cald-Stprae Strutrrl la Eaarlaa. Russia has fully decided to attempt to export meat to England, and live stock, if desired. At a conference on the subject at Moscow the assistant minister of finance, M. Kavalevsky, declared the government was pre pared to assist financially In launchd tug this branch of export trade. A government official will probably be manager of the export syndicate. Slaughter-houses at Libau, on the Baltic, and a regular line of cold, storage steamers to England are among the prerequisites. M. Kavalea sky hopes a market can be found for 80,000 head of cattle, or one-tenth of the present annual production, in European Russia and 26,000 tona of pork, besides fowl. The ships and slaughter-house will cost $900,000, it is estimated, of which the govern ment will probably advance $.MM),00O. The Siberian butter export trade has already been successfully launched, cold-storage butter trnins being forwarded ahead of ordinary freight to ltiga, where cold-storage steamers load for England. Up to the present time cattle mixing has been greatly neglected in Kussiii. It remains to be seen whether the poor quality of beef now produced will find a profitable market In England. SEEKS HEIR TO LARGE ESTATE Invalid Shoemaker la Ireland Waats Proper? If Sister la America, Constat. John Smith, an Invalid shoemnker living in Ilullinislau county, Ireland, haa written the Chicago police, ask ing them to search for his miming sister, Margaret Smith O'Neill. The sister Is tho next heir to a large estate of a deceased brother, Ed ward Smith. The estate la in Ireland, and in the hands of the liritish gov ernment. In the letter Smith ex plained that he had applied to the government for possession of the land, but was informed that he could not claim it until he showed proof that his sister consented to the trans fer or that she is not living. He said that the sister left Ireland some time ago, and had been at the home of an uncle, W. McDowd, at 341 Hoy tie ave nue, Chicago. A number of years ago Private Ed ward Smith, of the First battalion. Connaught rangers, died, leaving an estate to hia sister, Margaret Smith O'Xeill. The sister hnci then left for the United States. "John Smith, the brother, said that he wished to get possession of the estate because he is an invalid, has no money and will soon be forced to give up work. AN ANGLO-AMERICAN CLUB. London to Have Society Called the MPllKrlma" to Promote Interna tional Good Fellowship. London is soon to have another Anglo-American club, but on entirely different lines from the Anglo-American club which has beenalked about, cables' the London correspondent of the Herald. Well-known men of America and the ng44ah eaptte 1 are to meet at the Carlton hotel on Friday to discuss the plans, and from the interest displayed it seems most probable that the mat ter will be carried through. The object of the club which prob ably will be called the Pilgrims is to promote international good fellow ship. The qualifications for member ship are public service, literary or artistic achievement, journalistic work, extensive travel and frequent travel across the Atlantic. It will be conducted somewhat along the lines of the Gridiron club, at Washington. Headquarters will be established in New York and London. In England it is proposed to have one American memuer to three Eng lishmen, and In America the inverse ratio. The membership fees are to be small. PRAYERS BETTER THAN CASH. Ellen (ton Tells Lnther Leaa-ne at ' St. Paal How She Earaaad from Ike Brlcaada. Ellen M. Stone, the missionary held captive by Bulgarian brigands so many months, and who wm finally ransomed by money subscribed la the United States, was one of the speak ers at the sessions of the Luther league at St. Paul. Miss Stone asserted that she owed her deliverance to prayer, and said that prayers of the world did more in securing her freedom than the money paid to her captors. She said: "I am a proof to this Luther league of God's faithfulness In answering prayer. We received the world's benediction of prayer, which did more than the thousands of dollars, the price with which we were bought. I bring you good news from Macedonia, where in Bamako and Samapo there Is great tenderness of heart and in clination towards Christ as a fruit of the barbarism of the brigands."

Fifty or more -of ther'hobo,L fraternity-were captured by irate farmers near Pratt, and all day long they were forced to run binders and carry bundles by armed guards. The strange part of the proceeding was that the guards were women. The deficiency of farm hands in l'ratt county alone was 2,000, while the state waa short about 10,000 men. David V. Ulnlne, the harvest hand Importer, had arranged for all the men for Pratt county. The men, how ever, were captured by farmers along the line.

FINDS LOCUSTS NOURISHING. Dr, Gostave W. Lehman, Baltimore Health Official, Recommends Them ns Food. Dr. Oustave W. Lehman, analytical chemist of the health department, an nounced the other day that locusts are good to eat; good in the sense that they contain a considerable amount of nourishment. "I have been making analysis of the locust," laid the chem ist, "and I find that the insect ha properties that recommend it as an article of food for those who like that kind of diet. Personally, I cannot say that I have ever tasted it, nor have I any ambition to do so, but this does not prevent me recommending it to others as nourishment for those who relish dishes of this character." Imitating the Liberty Stntne. There is talk of erecting st th en trance to Sydney harbor as a monu mental tribute to the triumph of fed eration a colossal statue of "Australia Facing the Dawn," a sort of rival to "Liberty Enlightening the World," on the island in New York bay. Funds, however, have not been forthcoming and now it is reported that one of the principal advocate of the project ha written to Lord Rosebery suggesting that a contribution from the 3,000, 000 left by Cecil Rhodes to "promote the consolidation of the English speaking people" might be legitimate ly allocated to this purpose.
