The Senate Committee ON Indian Affairs
this morning renewed the investigation of
land leases In tho Indian Territory. DR..
Adair, Cherokee, testified that no was a
member Of Cherokee company which
offered TO pay 100000 for the lease of the
Cherokee strip, or If that was not enough
to give $4,000 for IL. His company failed
to secure IL, however, another organization
getting IL for 100000. Ho could not I'M
derstand why the higher amount was re.
fused unless money was used to influence
the council
VIM. N. Rasmus, n licensed trader Of the
Cherokees, gave testimony, which indi-
Gated that money had been used to influence
the council. He said money was very
scarce when the session OF the Cherokee
Council began, but when it ended an unu-
sual number of $50 and 800 bills were
brought to his store for change. 1t
was common talk that those who voted
to grant the lease were paid. One member OF
the Council Samuel Downing-admitted
to witness that he received $500 for his
vote Samuel S. Smoot, an attorney of this
city, gave testimony to the effect that the
leasing Of their lands was good thing for
tho Indians

AN INDIGNANT JURY.
The Sheriff of Cook County Denounced for
the Part the Militia Took In the
LemOnt Affair.

LEMoNT, Ills. May The Coroner's jury. com
posed of citizens of Lemont. has rendered the
following supplemental verdict in connection
with their investigation as 10 the death of the
men killed in the riot last Monday: I'VE. the
jury, find from the evidence before US that we are
unable to determine what particular soldier or
officer in the State militia fired the Identical shots
which killed Jacob Kujana, Andrew Stelter and
stephen Polus. We further find that the Sheriff
OF Cook County was hasty in sending the troops in
our midst without previous warning and without
asking the assistance OF the town authorities to
assist them In dispensing the men, women and
children. We further find that the Sheriff of
Cook County should have asked the proper town
officers 10 disperse all crowds OF people in the
streets; that at the time of the shooting in the
streets there was q company gathered in the
streets OF men, women and children aud mer-
chants of the town: that said crowd gathered there
diers, and that the officers in command OF the
soldiers should have used more discretion before
firing into the crowds of people gathered and
especially the soldiers clubbing with swords aud
bayonets citizens the street and before their
own doorsteps' Corner Hertz received the fol-
ence to soldiers appearing at the inquest as wilt
"SPRlNGFIELD. H.. May 5.
ITO the Coroner of Cook County:
Replying 10 your telegram, will state that,
while the State militia under orders to execute
the law In cooperation with the civil authorities
OF any county IN the State shall be in the per-
torrance OF such duty, IL is not subject to sub
pnna from the Coroner to appear as witnesses be-
fore an inquest, nor would it be proper for the
