agitated over the discussion Of the bill relating

lease made OF the Cherokee strip. According To
Cherokee laws this money should be paid out
per capita, under direction OF the national coun-

never recognized the validity OF the lease and
that the lease was made for full bloods only

WHY THE HOUSE RELIEVED HIM FROM HIS RE-
SPONSIBILITY.
The House yesterday passed bill to relieve
Major Michael 2. Small, OF the commissary de-
partment, U. S. a., from a charge of S3,7SO63,
standing against him the books of the

ceeded in perpetrating u fraud which robbed
the government OF $4,000. Davidson succeeded
In incorporating into the abstract of purchase
O false entry, representing a purchase OF 200
hve-pound packages OF dried apples. He had
been engaged In petty steals, and did that to
cover all his thetts. The voucher was duly
transmitted to Washington, but, of course, in
the copy retained at Small's office the false
entry did rot appear. subsequently Small
purchased 1,1S7 pounds OF dried apples, and
upon accounting Tor the purchase at W ashing-
ton he was asked why he had made II, when his
return OF provisions showed that he had a large
supply on hand. This inquiry startled the
major, who instituted an investigation and the
fraud was disclosed. Suit was instituted against
Davidson and judgment recovered. He made a
fun confession, and the House committee report
that as the fraud perpetrated was OF u character
to deceive any person Small should be relieved
OF the debt to the government, for which he is
held.
