NEWS FROM SALLISAW AND VICINITY.Items of Interest About People Yoa May Know, From Star-Gizette.:vW. L. Ourtis, our efficient county 'tUomey,' was chosen on the • suh coramitiee of five, out of a membership of twenty one,to draft the platform which was adopted unanimous-1 ly at Muskogee last Saturday. It always does us good to see our home boys get the recognition that is due them.Mrs.W.W. Pjckard,of this place, was dangerously injured in a Frisco wreck near Monett, Mo.? last Saturday morning while on her returu from St. Louis, where she had been selecting her spring stock of millinery. She was brought to Fort Smith and placed in the hospital where she received medical attention. Mr. Pickard her husband, was called by wire and went immediately as did Miss Oita Shermer, who lives with Mr. and Mrs. Pickard. At this writing she is getting along uicely at her hbine here, she having been brought to this city Tuesday. The prospects are . for her early recovery. She knows very little concerning the wreck, she haviug beeu asleep in her berih when the accident occurred or whether others were injured or not, hence we are unable to give details. Her legion of friends here are thankful indeed that her injury is not serious aud hope to see her up aud out soon.I have received several letters and while at home many requests as to the stock law,and I take this means of answering the same. As to inyself I do not care how the law is inforced,but for the benefit of the people I do care. I will say that I think the law should suspend for one year and give the people time to fix to take care of their stock. Many have no feed, and but few have pastures. I think the county commissioner should district the county aud in the district where the people wauted their stock out they could have it that way, and in districts where they wauted their stock up, they would have time to get in shape for the enforcement of the stock law. This, in my opinion, will meet the wishes of the people of the whole county and was the intention of the committee that wrote the suspension bill that passed the legislature. So hoping tbe people will get together on tbe above question and settle it without any trouble,I am. Yours as ever, Winchester Allen.Yesterday morning about 11 o’clock George Chuculate, at bis o .vn borne, near town, shot and killed his cousin and brother-in-law, John Chuculate. Deceased received six shots through the head and body and died iustautly, falling al-# . •. i— . •most against the porob of the house. There were seven gashes also out in the top and on the back of bis head. It seems that there was no one present except, the principals aud Mrs. Geo. Chuculat,e, wife of the one •Who did the shooting, and her little child. Ike Chuculate, brother of the deceased, was tbe first one to appear on the scene, he presumably having heard the shots and screams of Mrs. Chuculate. . He discovered the clothing of tbe daceased was on fire, having ignited frofiii the fire of the revolver, and quickly extinguished the flames, but not before, they had burned the body of the | said deceased considerably. Sam Chuculate, brother of George, having been informed of the tragedy, went immediately to the resideuce of Joe Peters, near the scene of action, and phoned to this place for the sheriff,John E. Johnston, Geo. Bethel, deputy sheriff, and Constable Dave Quinton, left immediately iu response to the call and found George without any trouble, he being anxious to place himself in custody of. the officers. Constable D.I. Marlin was also on hand anlt;f brought the prisoner in aud placed him in jail here where he is awaiting his preliminary hearing, which will take place in the morning. Justice of the peace J. G. Denton was called and immediately ordered an inquest held. The decision of the jury was that the deceased came to his death from the effects of gun shot wounds fired by Geo. Chuculate, cousin and brother-in-law of said deceased. We have made no effort to ascertain the cause of the tragedy, hence cau not give anything in regard to it.At George Chuculate’s preliminary trial, which was held this week, it developed that John Chuculate was at the home of his cousin, Geo. Chuculate, the evening before the killing. He bad been drinking,and during the evening made threats that he would return the following morning and kill George. He went home and early the next morning returned to his cousin’s house. The two men drank together until John became very much intoxicated. He went into the house, used rough and abusive language in the presence of Mrs. Chuculate, kicked over the stove, wrecked two or three pieces of furniture, and finally attacked George Chuculate with a club. Gorge got his revolver and ordered John out of the house. The two men went out on the porch where a little more violence on John’s part led George to shoot. The first bullet took effect. George, by that time, seemingly became tilled with the lust to kill aud continued to shoot until he had emptied his gnu Every shot found its mark in the body of John, the last one entering♦♦♦ ♦ 4CAjo:satWtlo1nW»Inu mliuVVt$ccfnhiVl-SOhefaretofosu4ltetew$£
