A RENovAL.--E. d. Bannister, Indian
inspector, was here last week, accom-.
panied by VIM. Herr, interpreter. on his
way to Usage county, Kansas. The
Mokohokos, band OF the Sac and Fox
tribe numbering something like a
hundred are located at Quenemo, in
the county named and have never con-
sented to move to the territory. Col.
Bannister's mission is to effect the re-
moval Of these people. They are SIM
ply squatters upon land which was
sold years ago and seem far less thrifty
than their brethren in this country. A
full right in all the lands and funds of
their nation Is assured them on re-
moval and further than that their pro-
portionate share in recent annuity
payments has been set aside and held
for them. Their neighbors in Kansas
are anxious to get rid of them and their
friends in this territory are anxious to
have them come.

THE ORIGIN.

No theory save that OF fincendiarism
is generally accepted though few OF
our citizens have other views. The
incomprehensible motive for the COM
mission Of such contemplate and un-
reasonable crime and the act of begin

the possibility Of accident, are proba-
bly, the basis Of this belief. But as we
have said, the greatly predominating
belief is that 1t was purposely set on

On Friday night mass meeting,
presided over by w. @. Chamberlin,
was held at the opera house for the
purpose Of considering our unfortunate
situation. After some discussion IL
was determined to test the sense OF the
town on the matter of incendiarism by
circulating a subscription paper to a
reward fund. After the appointment
Of this committee as we'll as one on de-
lection or investigation the meeting
adjourned 10 Saturday night.
Developments of the next day
strengthened the belief that
ISRAEL COLLINS, A NEGRO,
who formerly worked for L. w. Marks
was the scoundrel who did the Job, and
accordingly he was taken in custody
and locked up in the calaboose. Num-
erous attempts were made TO elicit
some admission OF guilt from him but
to no purpose, still he was held.
Saturday night on the assemblage OF
the meeting appointed, Ridge Paschal
WAS selected as chairman and NJ. L.
Milford, secretary. The report of the
reward committee showed
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1886-09-09

and closed by declaring himself ready
to give $50. 1t was generally agreed
that the present was the time for this
work and that we could build now bet
ter than any other time. Accordingly
a building committee was appointed to
solicit subscriptions, consisting of WI.
Trott, Henry Eifiert, G. S. Shelton,
I. +. Thompson and DR.. Foreman.
These gentlemen were authorized to
select two other persons to serve with
them. They were given until Saturday
night to report at which time a meet
ing is to be held. We learn that they
are succeeding finely and feel en-
couraged at the result Of their labors.
The matter Of rooms in which to
begin school at once was considered
AMI finally referred to the national
directors and ]. w. Duncan, the prin-
cipal teacher, with full authority TO
take such action as may be deemed
expedient.
In this position affairs rested until
about l:3O O'Clock Monday morning. At
that hour
sHRTEKs or ION, LoRDYl"
followed by six pistol shots were heard
in the vicinity Of the calaboose. A
great many of our citizens were awak.
ened butpresuming that their presence
was not required they made no invosti-
CATION, supposing that justice was
being meted out to the culprit. An ex.
animation of the premises made after
daylight showed that the lock had
been broken off and that the man had
left hurriedly without his shoes or hat.
Parties sleeping at Doc Aliens saw
three men on horseback
PURSUING THE FLkKISG NEGRO
and firing their pistols. An investiga-
tion soon brought the conclusion that
Collins had been taken out by his
friends and that the disturbance was
simply a blind. Later in the day John
Gill, eolored man who works for
L. w. Marks, reported that the fellow
had come to his house before day and
asked for hat and pair Of boots. He
said mob took him out aud that he
knocked two of them down and escaped.
Thus we believe the matter stands at
this time and the reward awaits any
one who shall solve the mystery and
bring the guilty one 10 justice.

DEATH or MRS. oRrEN.

Last Friday the telegraph brought the I'M
welcome tldings Of the death OF Mrs. George
W Green, the wife OF our we'll known mer-
chant. Though by no means unexpected, the
announcement was still one dinlcult as we'll az
painful TO realize. For year or more the la
dy had been threatened with that unrelentInR
ioe-consumptlon, and In search OF immunity
irom We grasp had finally gone to the noun
tains OF Colorado. The hold OF the destroyer
however waa too tenaciously fastened upon
her and on Thursday night, September and, az
Idaho Springs, the spirit or Victoria Seymour
Green, passed to lite final home Sad Indeed is
the lot OF he whose sorrow will be the deepest,
whose cup OF bitterness Ia indeed nlled 10
overnowing. In sympathy the hearts OF scores
ofhiends will go out TO him and to the moth
erless children In their lonelineae. one Of
which In after years can only know mother
as she is pictured by others. None but thoee
who have bowed under like burden can know
their loss and their grief. Mrs Green was a
consistent Christian lady, and her influence
was ever exerted for the good, the pure and
noble. No one entered her presence without
experiencing sense OF her refinement, and
the sunshine OF her character was ever mani
fest. Regarding her life we quote from les-
ter written by an Intimate friend living I'm An
adjoining state; "victoria Seymour Green
was born In Kansas on the slst Of January,
1869. She lost both parents while In infancy
and at six years Of age was taken TO st. Louis
by her aunt, Mrs. Willis G. Hall, TO raise and
educate. To her the tasks OF most pupils were
but pastime and at the age OF fourteen abe
passed an examination and entered the nor
NAL without having gone through the high
school. After leaving the normal she had an
ambition 70 teach and with that purpose went
to Vinita and IL was at this time she met her
husband, G. W. Green. In the fall OF 1878 they
were married in the city OF 81. Louis. Mrs.
Green was one Of the best read ladies in the
country. She was an exemplary Christian
nom her childhood, devoted wife. q loving
mother and true and trusted friend - The
funeral took place from the residsnce OF Mr.
GREEN'S mother, In Springfield last Monday
and on the day following he returned to this
place.

The Great Barrier Murder-Arrest OF
the Accused.

The circumstances attending the
brutal murder Of the man Taylor on
Great Barrier Island, near Auckland,
some months ago, will still be fresh in
the public mind. 1t will be remembered
that John Caffrey, who is accused of the
murder, together with a man named
Penn, his supposed accomplice, and
Lizzie Graham, the woman from the
island, made their escape in a small
cutter, the Sovereign Of the Seas. For
some time afterwards their fate was a
mystery. Portraits were forwarded to
the Marshal Of this Kingdom for their
Identification, lest the fugitiyes should
chance this way. Intelligence is to hand
by the last mail telling of their capture
in New South Wales. Caffrey was ar
rested first in Temmonth, in the north
part OF that colony, by a Constable who
was disguised as a swagman, and who
took him unawares. He was armed
with a loaded revolver, and declares
that had he known his captor to be a
Constable he would have shot him. a
man and a woman, believed to be Penn
and Graham, have also been arrested at
Kempsey, New South Wales The pris-
oners have been brought up and re-
handed
