[Chetona Kan) Advance, July ISL
There have been no less than eight or
ten murders reported within the last two
weeks: Judge Busneyhead, an uncle Of
the Treasurer. was murdered on the road
to the Courthouse in Illinois District,
and his head cut off and hid, and has not
yet been found. One week ago last Sab
bath night, Richard Fields. prominent
merchant Of Tahlequah, and Auditor of
the Nation, was shot while sitting in
church. One would naturally suppose
that if man was safe from violence any,
where, it would be in the house of
prayer, and when surrounded with inno-
cent women and children; but such
things fail to have their influence in Tah-
lequah. In Saline District, Charley
Konsine and Dick Riley enter into alittle
pistol argument over bottle, and hurry off
to the happy hunting-grounds. A white
man is found dead on Spring Creek, and
another is shot on the road near the
same place, all within the space Of few
days.
On Grand River, William Cochran fells
woman because she would not LET him
murder man who was asleep in the
house. A cattle buyer is found dead and
robbed on Barren Fork. The sheriff of
Sequoyah district is called to tho door
and saluted with load Of buckshot.
AS we go to press we learn Of another
brutal murder in the Cherokee Nation,
this time in the Canadian district. On
last Friday morning, about 8 o'clock, tho
house of Mr.. Jesse Foreman, who lived
two miles from Webber's Falls, WAS sur
rounded by dozen or more scoundrcls
from Illinois district, and before he was
aware of their presence, he found him
self at their mercy. Foreman was shot
down in his own house, in the presence
of his family. Our informant, who left
the scene in less than an hour after the
murder was committed, reports the, most
intense excitement prevailing in tho
neighborhood, in which the murdered man
was great favorite.
