Okla,, Nov. 15.-Fight persons were killed and ten others were wounded to-day in a fight be tween James Deckard, a negro des perado, and officers. The disturbance began at the St. Louis and San Francisco railroad sta tion, where Deckard engaged In a fight with an Indian boy, Steve Gray son, and beat him Into insensibility with a rock. Friends of Grayson called the police. When Policeman Klaber went to the station, Deckard [led lo his house nearby aud barri caded himself. When Klaber ap proached the house, Deckard shot ind instantly killed him. Sheriff Robinson gathered deputies tn a few minutes and hurried to the iceno. This party contained several negroes, whom the sheriff commis doned as deputies. As tho attacking party approached the Deckard house, Deckard openod fire with a rifle, fir ing as rapidly as he could load his weapon. The sheriff fell first, in stantly killed. Then five ot the ne gro deputies were also slain. Deckard's house was soon sur rounded by a frenzied mob of armed men. Fire was set to a house Just north of Deckard's. Volley's of bill ets were poured Into Deckard's house and he was shot down. He was seen to roll over, strike a match and set Fire to his own house, which was soon a roaring furnace, In which his body was baked. Deckard evidently had a large quantity of ammunition Btor ed in the house, for many cartridges exploded. Governor Haskell, of Guthrie, was advised of the fight and the bad feel ing between the whites and the ne groes that had , grown out of it, threatening a race riot. The Gover nor at once ordered the militia com pany at Muskogee to prepare to go to Okmulgee, and a special train was made ready to carry the troops. The Governor remained at his office to keep in touch with the situation. News of the preparation to send militia had a good qffect on the dis orderly element of both races, and to night the crowd dispersed. Further trouble ls not expected. When it be came known that no other negro had assisted Deckard against the officers the talk of reprisals subsided. How lo Get Strong. P. J. Daly, of 124 7 W.
