companied by a Reputed Burg1ur,
Treated a DefenceIess Woman.
Officer Tanning, Of the Harrison Street Po-
lice Station, WAS guilty OF most outrageous con-

and kindred virtues, entered the cigar store at

ably under the influence Of liquor at the time,
and that, previous to entering the cigar store,
they had been making noisy demonstrations on
the street. The store WAS in charge Of 8 young
girl, who was in an extremely delicate condition.
Tanning addressed her very roughly, and ordered
er,with great brutality, to wait upon himself and
friend. He acted as If conscious Of the authority
which his uniform conferred upon him. The

Fanning's notions Of the respect due him
as member Of the 1police force. He
accordingly proceeded to instruct her in polite
ness by kicking her IN the stomach with all his
might. The poor girl was rendered senseless by
the terrible injury inflicted, and in her fall she
overturned small stove, which at the time was
full Of live Goals. By this accident she was
severely burned, and the store was get on fire.
The girl would have been consumed bat for the
assistance rendered by the inmates of the house
and some of the neighbors, BY whom the fire

into effect that part OF the treaty Of 1906, be-
tween the United States and the Choctaws,
which provides that when the Indians desire it,
lands heretofore held in common may be divided
among individual members OF the tribes. This
is considered by those best informed regarding
matters in the Indian Territory as the most ad-
vanced step toward civilization ever taken by
any OF the Indian tribes, and it is thought by q
great many that, should the Government not
insist on territorial organization other than
that now existing, many Of the tribes will follow
the example Of the Chickasaws.
