Kingfisher Free Press of April 5, 1900
A story of Humanity
"One touch of nature makes the whole world kin."
Comeing into this vicinity recently with the railroad construction outfut,
was a young Irishman who became known as "Wheeler McCarty".
Whether
"Wheeler" was a part of his real name or a nick-name to indicate
the work he
did is not known. There was nothing about him to attract special
attention,
further than he was not strong, and was addicted to the common vices of
ltinerant laborers. He worked industriously. received his pay and spent it
with as litle delay as possibel. No one of his fellow workers knew much
about him. from whence he came or whither his destination. He left no
account of family or friends. He was aimless, harmless, indifferent. a
week ago. he complained of not "feeling well" Acquaintances took
him to the
Farmers hotel. His condition seemed not serious- Failure to "get
better"
caused Dr. Share to be called in. He examined him and said well he is
dying. and he did die Monday April 2nd.
The "railroad boys learned of his death. they took the body to Guily
and
Rogerts undertaking rooms, had it dressed and neatly clothed, and then two
of them got in a buggy and drove out along the line of works and asked for
contributions to meet the funeral expenses. Offers of assiistance were
made
by citizens of the town. "No was the reply, he was one of us and we
will
take care of it."
Donations were made, what ever one had in the pocket, nickles, dimes and
quarters, half dollars. A lot was bought, the body placed in a neat
coffin,
a hearse was employed, and the procession, consisting mostly of fellow
workmen in livery rigs, moved slowly and solemnly to the cemetery A simple
burial service by Rev. J. W. Sherwood and the curtain fell for the last
time on a human life.

Enid Eagle new.s
One of the most cold-blooded and brutal murders ever perpetrated in
Oklahoma
was that of Col. Stone, in Kingfisher County, about a year ago. The
murderer
fled, but was finally located in Mexico. After much trouble and delay he
was borught back, and a few days ago place on trial in Kingfisher. The
jury
disagreed, only three of them bing in favor of conviciton. Yea Gods. such
results are not calculated to maintain confiednce in the efficieney of the
law as protecting life and property, and it is not strange that mobs are
frequent. The failures of ignorant, and incompetent juries to do their
duty
are the causes of much of the crime with the country is afflicted.
