MUCH DISCOUNTED.

A Cherokee Delegation That Visited Score
tary Noble Inquiring About the strip.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-The Cherokees:
are at last beginning to realize that the
days Of their possession of the Cherokee
Strip are numbered and that the time Is
soon at hand, notwithstanding their
opposition, when they must yield to-
power of the Government and the de-
mand for the advancement of civiliza-
ton.
A new delegation, consisting of three
half blood Cherokees, visited Secretary
Noble yesterday and had quite pro-
tracted interview with him concerning
the Cherokee Outlet and the action Of
he Commissioners appointed to nego-
tate for the cession of the Strip. When
they came away they were very much
disgruntled and told their friends that
Secretary Noble said to them that they
had already been paid once for the Stripe
and they were now offered fair price
to buy it over again, which they WERE
foolishly declining to accept, that they
might as we'll understand and make up
their minds that it would be but a very
brief period before the plowshare Of the
white man would be turning the sod OF
the Strip which is now occupied by the
cattlemen, who were there without war
rant of law

KILLED IN, COURT.

Desperate Shooting Array In q GalvestOn'
Court R0Om-The Amir the Result OF .
Feud In Another County.
GALVESTON, Tex, Jan. 22.-In the
court house here yesterday Kyle Terry,
nephew OF the late Judge David Terry,
of California, was shot and instantly
killed and two men badly wounded.
The killing was the outcome Of the Fort
Bend troubles which resulted some time
ago in bloody battle between the Cit
liens Of Richmond.
Some months ago Terry, who was
tax assessor Of Fort Bend County and q
member Of what is known as the Wood
pecker party, had difficulty with the
three Gibson boys, all members Of the
Jaybird party. Five weeks later Terry
met one of the Gibson brothers In
Wharton and killed him. When the
case came up for trial Terry got 4
change Of venue to Galveston County.
Galveston had nothing to do with the
case further than to give fair trial.
Judge Parker, indicted for murder in
Fort Bend County, also secured q change
OF venue to this county.
The cases were set for yesterday and
witnesses for both the prosecution and
defense had brought to this city large
number of adherents of both factions
Of Fort Bend County. A large special
venire of citizens had been summoned
for jury service in these cases to appear
at the court house at one o'clock. A few
minutes after that hour Kyle Terry, his
brother, Captain David Terry, Of CALI.
fornia, Judge Parker, Judge Westonandl
some others entered the front door of
the court house.
Terry turned to the left toward the
stairway and had just reached the sec
ond step when shot was fired. It.
struck him under the right arm and!
came out of the left breast and literally
tore his heart to pieces,
There was q moments lull and then
four or five shots were fred from differ
emit directions. One passed through the
arm Of Judge Weston and through the
leg of Henry Pittle, Galvestonian.
Eye witnesses say three men were
shooting-Vol Gibson, who killed Terry
and whose brother Terry had killed in
Wharton, Dan Ragsdaie and young
Mitchell, all from Fort Bend County and.
all Jaybirds.
Immediately after the shooting six
arrests were made-the principal one
Vol Gibson, who fired the first and only
fatal shot. He is a young man about,
twenty-five years old and treats the
matter coolly. He was the oldest man
in the attacking party, four of the
others being under twenty-one years OF
age.
It was evident that the intention was
to kill Weston and Parker as well as
Tery-the two latter because they were
Woodpeckers.
Judge Parker is member of the
State Legislature from Fort Bend
County and is charged with having been
the cause of the late riot in Richmond
He is charged with the killing OF negro
woman during the Richmond riot.
