again to the legislature and more emphatic
than ever before, and Inasmuch as the stale
Institutions will not be greatly in need of
large sums for extraordinary purposes In
other directions it Is regarded as certain
that the epileptic colony will be established.
There are about 1,000 epileptics In Iowa,
Including those that are kept at home;
there are 4S8 now at the four state Institu
tions. Many are In poorhouses, others at
the Institution for feeble minded and also
at the Insane hospitals, t nless their ali
ment has led to positive Insanity they are
capable of doing a great deal of work, and
if they were colonized on a farm they
would be able to very nearly pay their own
way through life. It Is planned to take
nearly all of them from the Institutions
and place them on the farm. Save when
they are seized with a spasm they are able
to work. For this purpose a farm of st
least CIO acres Is wanted, which would cost
JH.OOO or over If the legislature should
appropriate for the purchase of the land
the construction of buildings could be de
ferred.
For Northern Part of State.
The Institution would probably be located
in the northern part of the state, on high
ground, far removed from any city. The
buildings necessary would not be expensive.
This would reduce the total cost of main
taining state Institutions.
The other Institution which Is a source of
a great deal of annoyance and trouble Is
the Inebriate Institution at Knoxvllle. The
experiment of compulsory cure of persons
addicted to the liquor and drug habits has
proved practically a failure. The number
of persons actually cured or benefited Is
very small. The only, persons who get good
results are those who voluntarily go to the
institution. Those who are forced to go
there by order of court are always defiant.
They conspire together and many - run
sway. For some time a serious effort has
been made to recapture and return all who
go away, but this is proving expensive, as
the number of desertions Increases all the
time. It is possible that the institution will
be abandoned, and certain it is that the
disposition of the state Is to not spend any
more money there In permanent improve
ments. Money for Tuberculosis Hospital.
The largest expenditure of the state
under the Board of Control recently has
been for the new tuberculosis sanitarium
at Oakdale, between Iowa City .and Cedar
Rapids. Tho board has expended 1103,918
lot this InstUutipn, and has a farm of 274
$10,000; beds and bedding, $3.U0; furniture
and furnishings, J5.000; paint and painting,
$3.6.
At Clarinda a new building is nesrly
completed at A cost of $I9.000 and now the
board asks for that Institution for boilers
and stokers, $10,000; contingent and rcpnlr,

DESPERATE MAN KILLS FOUR
Several Wounded r Him, After
Which He la Killed and Body
Burned with Home.
OKMULGEE, Okl.. Nov. lb'.-Five per
sons were killed and ten others wounded
yesterday afternoon In a tight between Jim
Deckard, a negro desperado, and law of
ficers. The dead:
EDGAR ROBINSON, sheriff, of Okinul.
geo county.
HENRY KLABER, assistant chief of po
lice of Okmulgee.
CHAPMAN BROTHERS, negroes.
JIM DECKARD, negro.
The Wounded:
Steve Grayson. Indian boy, fatally beaten.
Vie Parr, chief of police; shot .through
shoulder.
Deputy sheriff, name not learned, arm
oroaen.
Seven others, slightly wounded.
The disturbance began at the St. Louis
& San FTanclsco station, where Jim Deck
ard engaged In a fight with an Indian boy,
Steve Grayson, and beat him Into Insensi
bility witli a rock. Friends of Grayson
notified tho police, and when Policeman
Klaber went to the station Deckurd fled
to his house nearby, barricaded himself In,
and when Klaber approached Deckard shot
and Instantly killed him. Sheriff Robinson
gathered a posse in a few minutes and hur
ried to the scene. Part of this posse waa
made up of a group of negroes whom the
sheriff commissioned as deputies.
As the posse approached tho house Deck
urd opened fire with a rifle, firing! as
rapidly as he could load his weapon. Ths
sheriff fell first, instantly killed. Then
five of the negro deputies were sluln.
Deckard's house was soon surrounded by
a frenzied mob of armed men. Fire was
set to a house Just north of Deckard's.
Volleys were poured Into Deckard's house
Lnd he was shot down. He was seen to
roll over on tho floor, strike a match and
set fire to his own hctise, which was soon
a roaring furnace in which his body wus
Incinerated. Deckard evidently had a large
quantity of ammunition stored In his house,
as many cartridges exploded while the
house , was burning.
Governor Haskell at Guthrie was notified
of the battle ohd'of the bad feei ng between
whites and jiegrbes that had grown out
:f It and threatened a race riot. The gov
ernor at once ordered the mllltla company
ut Muskogee '(o prepare to go to Okmulgee
and a special train was made ready to
cany the troops, the governor remaining
-it his office to keep in touch with the
Mtuatlon. News of the preparation to send
militia here had. a good effect on tin?
disorderly, element .of both races and at 7
p. m. the crowd had dispersed and further
trouble was not expected.
When it became known that no other
negro had assisted Deckard against the
officers the a.ilk of reprisals subfelded.
The news that troops have been ordered
out by Governor Haskell had a good ef
fect, and tonight the town was quiet and
no further trouble was expected. The
mllltla will not reach Okmulgee until late
tonight. The governor's order will be Is
sued at 6 o'clock and some time will bo
ieiulrcd to mobilize the troops.
A dispatch from Muskogee tonight said
that the Muskogee company of the mllltla
would depart for Okmulgee late tonight.
The Guthrie companies are already on tho
way.
A telephone message from Governor Has
kell at 11 o'clock tonight says that he will
not order the Muskogee company to Ok
mulgee unless he receives fuither Informa
tion. The officials have advised him that
the town is quiet, though there is still
much feeling over the events of this aft
rnoon. During the last week district court has
