and Violating the Laws is Amendable
Only to Uncle Sam.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette,
FORT SMITH, ARK. april 3, 4George Hughes,
mayor of Taleouah; Jim. Nakedhead, city
marshal, and George Roach, deputy city
marshal, were brought here to-day on a charge
OF larceny, and their case will be investigated
tomorrow. 1t seems that man named Black
ford held bill of sale of a horse belonging to
man in Taleguah He went after the horse, but
the party refused to give it up. Hethen armed
himself and went to the stable and took the ami
NAL. When he went up town with toe pistol he
was arrested by the city marshal for carrying
weapons. This Saturday. He put up
his own horse as security for his appearance on
the Monday following, after which he left. He
did not show up in the proper time and the
horse was sold by the mayor, the city
marshal becoming the purchaser. Black
ford came here and swore out
writ charging them with larceny. Black
ford is white man, and the court here will hold
that the authorities of Tahlequah have no right
to try him for any offense; that if white man
goes into the Indian country and VIOLATES the
laws he is amenable only before G
United States court, hence all q
municipal government in the Indian country
can do is to disarm man If be is boisterous
and report him to the Indian agent as an intru-
der, turning over to the agent the arms and 9TH
er property taken from him. This will be
watched with much interest, as it is the first one
of the kind ever brought here into any other
Federal court. The defendants are all on bond.

lily by burning them, and his tragic suicide by
jumping into blazing bed, is the subject of ex-
oited conversation here to-day. Long lived
with his wife and seven children, three of whom
are boys, in the little town OF Galloway, about
three miles from this city. He began
TO show signs Of mental disturbance yesterday

there was any ground for alarm. Shortly after
9 o clock he entered the room where his five
year-old daughter asleep and set
fire to her bed. He was muttering
delightfully."- to himself when the other
inmates of the house smelt the smoke
and hurried to the room. After some time he
was driven away, and G messenger was sent to
summon the neighOors. Meanwhile Lang had
set fire to the house in several places on the
lower floor, and when the neighbors arrived the
house was in flames. With much difficulty the
little ones were rescued. George Purtzner
and others made an attempt to get
Lang from the burning building, but
they were threatened with a shotgun, and Mr.
Purtzner sustained serious injuries in rescuing
the members of the family. All, with the excep-
ZION of the crazy man, were taken from The
burning building, and the last seen of him was
when he jumped into burning bed. a few
groans were heard, and all was quiet.
Most oil of the furniture and clothes of the
family were burned. The unfortunate man was
a subject of heart trouble.
