MISCELLANEOUS NOTES.
luuskogee Phoenix !

AAAaAAtNl AAEAAA
Yesterday morning while a
Phoenix representative was stroll
ing around the Hotel Adams
thirsting for a news item, he was
attracted to the Pacific express Of
fee by the assembling of large
crowd around the windows. Ar
irving at the place the cause of the
attraction was readily learned.
Hon. B. Kelly, u. S. pension
agent. of Topeka, and United
States Indian Agent Bennett were
paying out, in silver dollars to an
aged and blind Greek Indian, the
snug little sum of So ,59440, back
pension money. The name of the
Indian war veteran who received
this sum and who from Tow on
will receive s42 per month, is All
taessenearIdh. He lives near Eu-
faula and served during the late
war as a private in Company II,
first regiment Indian home guards.
The Indian was accompanied to
this place by Mr.. Sam GraysOn
and 4 few of his relatives. who saw
to the payment of the money. The
money, which came BY express in
silver dollars. was reshipped and
deposited in ST. Louis.
Saturday night last at Gibson
Station two strange men called at
Mr.. Shannon ; house after he had
left his store and said they wanted
some medicine for a sick friend.
They persuaded Mr.. Shannon TO
go back 20 the store with them to
procure the medicine When they
reached the store and after Mr.
Shannon had opened the door they
covered him with pistols and or
derea him to open up his safe,
tellin. him that they would kill
him If he didn't do So. Mr. Shar-
non did as commanded, there be-
ing no alternative. The two men
secured the money, about $50,
and after selecting a suit of clothes
for themselves they informed Mr..
Shannon that they would accom-
pany him back home and see what
he had in his safe at home. With
drawn revolvers they accOmpa-
MED Mr.. Shannon to his house
which is 4 short distance from the
store. As Mr.. shannon entered
the door Of his house he slammed
ihe door in the face of the two men
and b0lted il. The robbers being
cutwitted in this instance and
doubtless thinking they had Sc
cured enough, hastily withdrew.
Mr.. Shannon telegraphed to Mus
koges for officers. The guilty men
are spotted and viii no doubt be
taken in before long.

CLAIMED By MANY.
Our $40 Reward Brings Several
New Names TO the Surface.

Last week an offer of SO was
made for the name of the gentle
man possessed Of good character
and fair business capacity who
eould muster 1000 votes for the
Office Of principal chief Below
are the replies thus far received;
the names Of the authors and their
address win be preserved and the
money handed over when the truth
or their assertions has been dem
onstrated. In several instances
the same person has been repeat
edIy suggested and in those cases
the first letter received has been
given credit.

of the United States such persons
of ne tribes rs are less than half
Indian ; to surrender to the courts
Of the several civilized tribes, for
adjudication. all civil suits that
may arise between adopted white
and native citizens; to exempt from
judgments for debts, rendered by
the MuskOgee court, improvements
Of every kind. except tenements,
shops, manufactures, machinery,
etc, of individuals or corporations
who have secured coal mines or
other franchises in the Indian Ter
ritory.
Mr.. Springer handed me, as the
committee broke up to-day, an
amendment he proposed himself
10 his bill, with the request that |
examine it, and If not satisfactory
TO suggest something myself.
The amendment is to submit all
claims for citizenship to the dis
trict courts of the nation for adju-
dieation with the right of appeal
to = court at Muskogee or to the
supreme court Of th@ territory in
case one is established. We have
IL now under advisement but 1t is
too hard 4 paper to endorse, unless
so amended that all cases here
tofore tried and determined by our
courts shall be considered final,
and that the decisions in such
cases shall be conclusive evidence
of such trial, should a rehearing of
such cases be attempted. We
could not afford to accede to n pos
sibility that all the cases OF re-
jected claims TO Cherokee citizen
ship shall have a chance TO be re-
opened. If this manner Of determ-
ining such claims is adopted, as
Mr.. Springer asserts. those who
tail to establish Cherokee rights
can be removed BY the U. S. mar
shals as intruders, from the coun-
try.
Mr.. Speed, of the Flirchild COM
mission, had the floor. to-day dur--
ing the session OF the committee.
He certainly is 4 very modest man,
considering his aspirations for the
governorship of Oklahoma when
it becomes an organized territory.
He objects seriously TO the estab-
of an eastern boundary
line that viii not make Guthrie
the central town of the territory,
or that will les en- territorial di-
mensions. The bill proposes TO
put the boundary line between
Oklahoma and the Indian Terri
tory at the 9th meridian or at the
Indian meridian, which is twelve
or fourteen miles west Of the 97th.
He feels for himself ike Forney
does Secretary Blaine who occu-
pies a place vastly too small for
the full exercise Of his entity or of
his great craftsmanship.
Respectfully, J. L. ADAIR.
