the body Of woman named Theresa Beck
who died in that city on Saturday, the

her body might be buried in Woodland
Cemetry, but after her death, Simon
at whose house the corpse was living
refused to give it up, as he being catholic
would not suffer it to be buried in a Protest
ant cemetery, and unknown to Sauer, had il
placed in vault, in the Catholic burvine

Of 1923 this territory has been practically un-
der control OF the civilized Indians, who have
elected their own governor, legislature, iudg-
es and stGte officers, and have enjoyed very
passable condition OF government The same
treaty, however, provides that the Indians
shall have exclusive control OF all their inter-
nal affairs and that there shall be no meddHng
with them. As long as they abide by the
provisions Of the treaty they shall be subject
to no laws but their own.
