OKLAHOMA WHIPPING RECALLS PUNISHMENT GIVEN IN EARLY DAYS

i (By Assocl.-.ted Press) f MUSKOGEE, Okla., Dec. 24. A re-j cent -whipping administered at Ant-;

lera, Okla., the home town of Major Victor M. Locke, Jr., superintendent of the five civilized tribes and one of the leading members of the Choctaw tribe, served to recall to the Indian superintendent's mind a custom that many years ago was pursued by the Choctaws to punish their members when they were found doing evil. This punishment consisted of a public thrashing for the offender and Superintendent Locke well remembers the last legal punishment of his kind

administered by the Choctaws. It' took place in 1899 at Alikachi and the1 ictim was a full blood who had been convicted in the tribal courts of stealing a "roan sotting hen." The chicken in question 'was a Dominique hen. There was no word in the Choctaw language lor Dominique so the indictment was worded to read "roan" hen instead, that being the nearest accurate description that could be supplied. The Indian was given 30 lashes on the bare back with hickory switches. Kept Whipping Posts. Superintendent Locke says that up to 1900 the Choctaw tribe kept three whipping posts to control offenders. One was located at Alikachi, another on the forks of Boggy creek and a third three miles south of Wilburton. Although the Choctaws had jails. th.were seldom used as trials moved so swift and sentences were so quickly imposed that the jails were of little use. Under the old Choctaw law a perpon convicted for horse-stealing was given 100 lashes for the first offense. If the offense was repeated and the defendant convicted, he was shot to death as the Choctaws never resorted to hanging. In the Cherokee national capital punishment was executed by hanging.

Science Church Announces Special Program Sunday The Science Church of Spiritualists will hold services Sunday at 7:3o, in the Knights of Pythias Temple, South Eighth street. The following special

program is announced:

Bill Provides Abolition of Capital Punishment (By Associated Press) SANTIAGO, Chile, Dec. 24 Abolition of capital punishment and flogging, provided in the Chilean penal code, is asked In a bill sent to congress by the Ministry of Justice. Life imprisonment would be applied in case where the penalty of death is determined under the existing code. Referring to capital punishment, the measure says, "it offends, by its cruelty, the moral sentiment prevailing in cultured nations; it is irreparable and, consequently, it does not comprise the possibility of impeding the consequences of the errors which the administration of justice might have incurred on applying it." "Flogging is barbarous in itself," says the bill. "It is rejected by universal consent and among us it has

fallen into disuse as it is not even possible to find executioners willing to apply it."

FAMOUS OLD GRAFT TO BECOME WRECKER

(By Associated Press) JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Dec. 24. The ocean-going tug. Three Friends,

which attracted world-wide attention as a filibusterer prior to the outbreak of the Spanish-American war as a result of her exploits in transporting arms and ammunition from the United States to Cuba for the Cuban revolutionists, has been purchased by a local shipping concern from the estate of

the late Governor and United States Senator-elect Napoleon B. Broward, who commanded her during part of her adventurous career, and will be converted into a wrecking tug. The Three Friends, built in Jacksonville in 1895, is 112 feet in length, and although designed solely for towing purposes, her lines and power were

such that she easily could show her heels to all but the speediest warcraft of the day. When gun running became popular and profitable she joined the tug Dauntless, commanded by the widely known "Dynamite Johnny" O'Brien, and successfully eluding numerous Spanish and marine warships sent to capture them, the two vessels landed cargo after cargo of munitions for the Cuban patriots. Other vessels also were engaged in

filibustering, but their activities soon were overshadowed by the hair-raising exploits of the Three Friends and the Dauntless and the names of the two tugs became familiar throughout the world.
