Jim Copeland, the murderers OF S. |.
Echols, all plead guilty of murder in
the second degree, and begged for the
clemency of the court. They claimed
that thew killed Mr.. Echols through
mistake believing him to be one Will

they had reasons to believe that their
lives were in emminent danger at the
hands of Duckworth. and therefore
they sought to kill him. On their plea

1.-The appointment of Judge r. B.
Wilson to be Register of the lard office

position il is true, but for some time 1t
has been rumored that the appointment

dismissed the matter from his mind
and devoted his best energies to his
chosen profession, the law. Hence his
surprise at the appointment. The
Judge feels deeply the compliment i'm
piled by his selection over his oompet-
itors and recognizes the fact that his
responsibilities are increased thereby.
We presume he will enter upon the
discharge of his new dnties at once af-
ter confirmation.

not subject TO disposal at tho time the
entry was made, aud the case therefore

records in the clerks office here show
that the Cherokee Reservation covers
but small portion of section 10, viz:

and no more. These plats have beer
