Capt" Daniel Childers Kills hie
Sisterein-law And in Turn ie
Laid Out by George Perryman.
The latter part of last week
Daniel Childers, "Gube," was in
this town and all acquaintances
agreed that he was a "little off in
the upper story" but it was hardly
thought he would become danger
GUS. Last Monday he went out to
camp meeting, returning to Red
Fork, where lie had recently pur-
chased a hotel about 2 O'Clock next
morning. Instead Of retiring he
went 10 the room Of his sister.in-
law and attempted TO take undue
liberties. She struggled with him
whereupon he drew a revolver and
placing it against her forehead,
fred. she died instantly and
portions Of the brain were spat-
tered upon the the walls and
bedding. His next act was to
arouse the house and getting down
his fiddle spent the balance of the
night playing, seeming not to real
iEe what a terrible deed he had
committed. When morning came
he sent over TO Tulsa for a coffin
and had the corpse taken to Wea-
laka for burial. During the day
Childers was very violent and
armed with q revolver and Win
chester terrorized everybody. He
declared among other things that
unless the cowmen paid their
taxes TO him that day
there would be more funerals.
Among those against whom he
seemed particularly bitter was
George Perryman, an influential
and very widely known citizen of
the Creek nation. About six
o'clock in the evening Childers
started out with the avowed pur-
pose of killing Mr.. Perryman.
This gentleman however had heard
of the threat and as the hostile one
rode up he was met with a shot
which killed him instantly. All
parties justify this act and only
regret that Cbilders did not meet
his fate early enough TO have
saved the life Of the poor woman.
When asked why he killed her
he said that for the first time since
he had owned it, the pistol shot
below where it was held; that on
going into the room she pulled his
hair and he fired over her head to
scare her. She was upwards of
twenty years old, had been mar
ried and had one or more children.
Childers' wife had become afraid
and left him aone tinoa am

THE PIG FOR PROFIT.

All other conditions being equal,
if pig digests a larger percentage
Of grain, so converting it into ami
NAL increase, than a steer, COW or
sheep. it is evidently the most
profitable machine; but if the la
Dor and expense are greater, and
the price realized less, on the part
Of the pig, the question presents
another aspect. Every farmer can
easily turn these considerations 10
suit his particular circumstances;
but with regard to the respective
uses which our domestic animals
make of the food consumed he is
working blindfolded. Expert
ments have been numerous enough
TO be conclusive on these points.
Both Lawes and Gilbert in Eng
land, and other experimenters in
Germany, have rendered farmers
incalculable benefits, and the re-
suit of their experience has proved
the vast superiority Of the hog.
OF the mineral, or saline constitu-
ents of the food, Lawes found that
the pigs stored up As per cent.
against 3.8 per cent. for the sheep,
and 2.3 per cent. for the OK; and
Of the nitrogenous or fesh-forming
constituents, the pig stored 14.7
per cent. against 4.3 for the sheep,
and 3.8 for the OK. These and
numerous other experiments prove
beyond a doubt that the pig is by
far the most profitable consumer
Of farm products, and yet farmers
make large deposits of grain in
their manger bank, when they
would bring double the rate per
cent. in the trough. However, it
must be borne in mind that cattle
must be kept to manufacture the
coarse foods, and the best results
cannot be obtained without the use
of small grain. The fact that pigs
require less attention, consume
many products that would other
wise be wasted, and have much
less waste in their carcass, is
liberal offset against the SOM etimes
slightly lower price of their flesh
compared with beef.

A committee Of merchants once
called upon p. Il. Barnum and ask
ed him to reduce his experience 10
writing for the benefit OF posterity
he agreed TO do 50. "One thing

same principle, newspaper adyer-
tisement becomes familiar in the
eyes Of the reader. II may seldom

governments Of their own and
possessed all the conditions Of
self dependence. This policy has
not only proven a failure but one
Of cruelty TO friendly Indians and
a great injustice to the Eve civil
lied tribes, because il gave but
little or no choice TO the first and
dispossess the latter of vast and
valuable possessions. To carry
out this policy persuasion was the
first resort which if failing, found
a remedy in force, as has proven
to be the case in more than one
instance. While we innocently
adhere TO a disposal of these lands
to friendly Indians, the only way to
which we are pledged, we have as
unthoughtfully aided to despoil our
selves and to inflict cruelty upon
others.
In what light the government Of
United States views these lands
we may gather from many facts.
That our own citizens have been
removed from them as intruders
by the military is che. That this
action was sustained by Attorney
General Devens in obedience to a
resolution of Senator Voorhees, is
another. That congress has passed
an act iorebidding any more In
dians to be settled upon them is O
third. That Attorney General
Garland has decided that the lease
Of them for grazing purposes has
not the support of law is a fourth.
Putting these things together we
have this startling revelation be-
fore us: that we cannot occupy the
lands; that no more Indians are to
be settled out there, and that we
cannot lease them. Then in the
name o! common sense what use
can we put them to OF what benefit
are they to us in their present con-
dition? Considering these things
in connection with the report of
Secretary Teller, that the
Cherokee nation has been paid
s64S ,3S9.45 ION account of all the
lands of the Cherokee nation lying
west Of the Arkansas river, includ-
ing the assignments made there
from," and at the appraised value
AZ cents per acre, appearances
rae indeed ominous and deserve
the serious attention of our wisest
statesmen. This condition of our
western lands may be corrected to
our advantage despite appearances
by proper management or honest
and intelligent means, and the
sooner the better. OMAcRoN.

The circumstances are thus: Wood

and Tascosa, Texas, went into the
store with a Winchester rifle, in
forming the clerks that it was not
loaded, only an old broken shell
remained in the gun. Frank Con-
nor handled it and snapped the
trigger at different times. George
Martin, one of the clerks, picked
1t up and commenced admiring it
when he snapped the trigger. The
broken she'll exploded without any
loud noise, shooting Woodruff
through the right eye, and blowing
his brains out instantly. George

take some time for him to over
come this accidental shooting
which is attached to him. The
deceased lived in Texas.

somewhat unfriendly style my last

little to say, as its childish abuse is
scarcely worth noticing. Silence

I will therefore make reply. In the
FIRST place, if my views were not in
harmony with his, why did he not
engage in a controversy with me
through the medium Of a respecta-
bic newspaper like the CHIErTAIN,
instead of attacking me in a lying,
hypocritical sheet that no intelli-
gent person subscribes for? You

sequently very poor opinion of II

ting neither here nor in any other

country he is a native. For any

his attention TO what the great
philosopher, Lord Bacon said, viz;

apparent that if all Cherokees

would have no capacity whatever.
If as Native" says, / have no
right TO the lands or funds of the
Cherokee nation, Mr.. Bushyhead
made a great mistake in his veto
message Of May, IS, 1888. The
Cherokee constitution however be-
ing almost the same in form as
that Of the United States, adopted
white citizens of this nation need
not feel at all uneasy as TO having
equal rights with native born
Cherokees. The United States
government will see that we get
our share Of the common wealth
and are dealt with as literally as
its adopted citizens. A foreigner
residing in the United States has
but to secure his naturalization
papers to be entitled to all the
rights Of citizenship-the Office Of
president excepted, and should
such an event as a distribution
of treasury surplus ever take place
he would share equally with the
native born American. In conclu-
sion, il Mr.. "Native" desires 10

OMINoUs INDICATIONS.

Somewhat after the manner OF
an omphslopsychite does one
become interested in the unfolding
of conditions in relation to our
western lands. That they are in a
pitiful ENHANCEMENT no one who
keeps even with this fact can fail
to recognize. The treaty of '66
severed them from the lands east
and line distinctly making the
separation has been run. Why was
this done? There is an evident in.
tention in this, and seems 70 mean
more than simply to find that
portion Of the Cherokee country
in which the United States may
settle friendly Indians or that in
which they may settle civilized.
Mark the difference in the manner
and result of settlement. Those
who are settled in the eastern por-
ton are incorporated into and
become members of the Cherokee
nation; those in the western as
separate and distinct tribes upon
lands in compact form, Ito be
held in common or by their men,
bers in severalty as the United
States may direct" Our posses
81 IN and jurisdiction terminates
with sale and occupancy. Such is
he condition Of the now occupied
tracts. What logical inference is
to be drawn from this state of af-
fairs? No very vague impression
forces itself upon the mind that the
certainty Of one nation east and
the original intention OF many
west of the line drawn mean
eternal severance of the sections
under present relations. If this
was not the intention the manner
and purpose Of settlement would
have been the same vest as east
Of the line, against which there
can be no very potent reasons, as
possibly the same arrangements
could have been effected between
the Cherokee nation and the tribes
settled out west as have been
between the Cherokee nation and
those settled in their midst. The
contact and reciprocal influences
Of the civilized and non-civilized
in bringing about modified condi-
tions between the two extremes
as perhaps such would have been
the consequence, is hardly cause
sufficient for this separation. Ar
ticle l6 of the treaty of '66 has the
appearance Of an insidious scheme.
Same as TO alike treaty, provisions
with the other tribes, and the
policy indicated by them and as
came out under Grants admins
tration TO "collect the Indians
within the Indian Territory, as far
as practicable and 10 teach them
the arts Of government and self
support" presents a doubtful
necessity for accomplishing this
purpose BY rnnning line from
north TO south through the entire
length Of the territory, and sep
arating them from the contact and
iphusnces Of other Indians who
already understood and (.arcised

A GOOD deal Of satisfaction was
expressed a week ago when it was
announced that Mr.. r. L. Owen, a
Cherokee, had been appointed by
the president Of the United States
as United States Indian agent for
the Union agency of this territory.
The Advocate accepting thesap-
pointment as a compliment to the
Indian blood, expressed the hope
that Mr.. Owen would be confirmed
by the United States senate with
out opposition. Now it is said
that Mr.. Ovens appointment is
credited not as an Indian TO the In
dian Territory, but as a citizen of
the United States to the state OF
Virginia. How is this? The
readers Of the Advocate inquire
Cherokee Advocate.
SO the Choctaws and the Fort
Smith papers are not the only dis
affected ones. From all appear
ances Mr.. Owen will have a fight
for his confirmation.
