A Newspaper Account. The following account of Ihe kill-j lng of Marshall Alexander is taken liom an Oklahoma paper that was j soul herc lo rola*Ivos of tho deccas 1 cd: "The details of tho killing of M. L. Alexander, which occurred on his farm, eight miles south of Wilson, | yesterday morning, was learned: when Russell Brown and others, who had boen hunting out there, return ed to thc city last night "Mr. Brown said thal yesterday! morning he and bis brother. Will .Moore Drown, and Den Mobley were b.lilting about a mile from where the killing occurred and never heard the shots and knew nothing of the trage dy until .just before noon, when a son of a tenant named Ru ssa m and another man came to them anl told tl em Mr. Alexander bad . n shot. They at once went to the place and found him lying on his side, one hand under his head and his right hand, without a glove, in bis overcoat pocket. His pistol was in his hip pocket and had not been touched. "On Unding that Mr. Alexander was dead they placed the body In a wagon belonging to a man named Tyne, who had driven there, and took it to the home of Mr. Hussain, one of lite tenants. From there lt was placed in another wagon and started toward Wilson ?ntl was met on tho road by an a ni bu lance sent cut from Ardmore, ami reached here about IO o'clock last night. The trip v,as necessarily slow, as the roads are in very bad condition. Shot Krom Ambush. "They learned thal the tenant Rus ait m and two men from Davis, who were Clere looking at the farm with i; view lo renting, were with Mr. Alexander in an oat field, all stand ing dose together. They were quito ... dis!ance, 500 or 100 yards from thc timber proper, but between them and the timber lhere was a ridge covered with small brush and hav ing on it one large tree. Mr. Brown said it was evident that it was from this ridge thal thc shots came, hui uv smokeless powder was used there vas nothing at tho i.nie to ind?cale where tho assassin was. "Ono bullet passed over their heads, and one of the men remarked . hat it was getting pretty close, be lie, im; it was hunters shooting. * ( thor shot followed and tue men scat tered. Then more shots fell close t<> tho feet of tho elder llUSSntU and be pud ibo tuen fron? Davis ran. The next shot struck Mr. Alexander In Ibo lett side and caine out ill the right side, toward the front, ovldont I ly passing through tho heart and lung. ll was a RO-itO bullet. "The men who had boen with him wore afraid to approach tho body Plld started off to seek Mr. Brown and tho other bunters. They said soven shots in all had been fired. f and they wero afraid that tho man might still be there trying to get some' of them. "Mr. Alexander's farm is about two milos long, north and south, and that portion of it on . which he was killed is in Love county, on Simon creek, near a little placo callod Si mon, and not far from Orr. Two doctors cunio from tho last named place, but Mr. Alexander was dead when they arrived, his death evident ly having been instantaneous. Peculiar incident. "Thero aro several tenant bouses on Mr. Alexander's farm, and some o? tho tenants aro not living In har mony with ouch other, and some are said to have held on nilly toward Mr. Alexander. When they roached the farm tho day before, Mr. Alexander told Mr. Brown, his brother and Hen Mobloy to go on to the third bouse and stay all night and be would stay farther up tho line at another tenant's house. Mr. Brown said after supper that night, as they wero sitting around tho fire, a man ma m ed Camphors, (another tonant, came to tho house and wanted a ropo, saying a boy had fallon in a well. "They got a rope and all started willi him. On tho way Mr. Brown asked bow deep the well was, and Caruthera said GO feet and that there was 15 feet of water in it. Mr. Brown remarked that, tthat being the case, they had bettor get up some steam and got there. Caruthers said >es, be bad run part of the way com ing down. "They found the 0-year-old boy In the well and pulled him out. With ho exception of a slight abrasion on bis forehead ho was not scratched, and bis clothing was wet only up to ids knees. How he fell thal dis tance without going to the bottom I ard 'becoming wot all over and how | he kept from boiils killed, they could I aol figure out." Tho Funeral.
