VICTIM IS DEAD Ponca City, O. T.,
Sept. 22 – Silas Le Clair, who was shot from ambush three weeks
ago, died last Saturday after making a desperate fight against his wounds,
says the Courier. It has been very difficult matter to determine the cause
of the shooting but some days ago one Lawson was jailed for the crime
and later permitted to go on the merest technicality. In the death of
Silas one of the best Indians on the reservation has been removed and
the loss of a good man is felt by his family and friends.
