They Extend Thanks tn All who Joined
the Parade. and Apologies Ia Others.
George L. Meade Post No. 8, Grand
Army of the Republic, Department Of
Montana, desire 10 return thanks to the
business men and all citizens OF Ana
conda for the liberal financial aid ex-
tended on Decoration day, to the Wolfe
Tone Guards, the fire department, the
Select Rights, the Carpenters n Join
ers' union, and other societies, N to the
public school teachers and scholars, who
cont ibuted so much to the success of the
day. We also extend our heartfelt thanks
u Col. &. e.. Bradshaw for his eloquent
grafton; To Rev. W. T.. Mes for services
rendered; to Mrs. e.. Chccne, Mr.. and
Mrs. Doran, Mr.. Fred. Sully, and Prof.
Kennicott for the fine music rendered.
We also desire to offer an apology to
the Ancient Order of Hibernians, the
Young MEMS Institute. the Topographic
cal union and others. Circumstances over
which we had no control prolonged the
opening exercises to such "a length that,
with the exception of n short Grafton by
Col. &. G.. Bradshaw, the literary exercises
in the hall were omitted. For all that, the
opening exercises were of such IN inter
minablc length, that these orders had to
dispcrse, taking no part in our line OF
march To the cemetery. We most sin
cercly rcgrct the circumstance that led
to this result, and hope that the orders
and citizens who were prevented from
taking part in our parade will not hold
the old vets accountable for n delay they
were nable to prevent.

A oherokee Citinenln Trinl.


Two weeks ago brief mention was
made Of murder trial in Texas upon
which w. II. Mobiles had been IN at
tendance. The defendant, La Fon, is
a relative Of Albert Morris and the
following arc the particulars Of the
case as given by Texas paper:
"The La Fon case was called for
trial on the 18th Of sept, and both
sides announced ready for trial. The
state was represented by district at
torney p. b. Ward, assisted by VIM.
Poindexter, OF Cleburn, and the de-
fendant by +, s. Marrs, Of Waco. and
o. l.. Lockett, OF Meridian. Each side
closely contested every foot Of ground
and after hearing the evidence, the
talks Of the attorneys and the judges
charge, the jury was turned over to
the baliif at about 0 o'clock on Friday
night and the court adjourned until
eight o'clock the next morning. AS
soon as court was called the neyt
morning the jury sent word they had
NtIuiCbs LII IOu " 40 nNHb lpA anu
the jury soon came in. For an instant
all was still in the court house and the
Judge after asking the usual questions,
told the clerk to read the verdict,
which was this; we, the jury, find
the defendant, Beverly La Fon, not
guilty." La Fon was charged with
killing one r. s. Martin, in 1882. He
plead self defense and jury Of twelve
men sustained his plea. After the
killing he fed the country and went
to the Indian Territory where be has
resided ever since. He married, but
before marrying he had the manly
courage to tell the lady whose hand
he sought, all about the trouble he
was in down here. He gave himself
up to the officers last year and his
case was called at the last term OF
court but was put off on account OF
the absence of an important witness.
To-day he is free man and can 60
where he pleases without the fear of
an officer being on his trail. He comes
from one of the oldest and best fam
lilies in this country, and proved by
the very best of his neighbors that his
character was beyond reproach, and
to prove it they all stuck to him like
brother"

Change In the Postoffice.

| Mr.. M. +. Milford, after eleven
months service as postmaster at vi
nita, is succeeded this week by Mr.. H..
A. A.Galloway. The office will be retained
in the building heretofore occupied, and
and Will be conducted by Mr.. Gallo
ways brother, from Ohio. For the in
formation OF those who are not famil-
lar with the circumstances who,
knowing the way in which the Office
has been conducted might be at loss
to see the necessity for a change, it is
perhaps not improper to make brief
explanation. The removal of Mr.. Mil
ford was secured by Misrepresentation
and in the name OF the Grasd Army
post at this place, though Justice to
that order requires the assertion that
it is in no way responsible for this
action of the department. AS n mat
ter of fact, last years postottice fight
has been continued without cessation
by certain disappointed individuals,
but the work which secured this
change was performed by man who
sought revenge because he failed last
year to get an office at Tahlequah un-
der the Cherokee government-and
his failure was due to his unworthiness.
To accomplish the purpose desired
certain article published in The
CHIEFTAIN early last spring was
brought into play, and with success.
This article stated the report that
Gen. Fairchild, Cherokee commission
er, had not been conhning himself to
the duties assigned him by the U. S.
government but had also been taking
a hand in Cherokee politics and en-
ploying the q. A. X. in that direction.
II has never been claimed that Mr..
Milford wrote the article in question,
and in fact he had nothing to do with
it and knew nothing about it, but it
served the purpose just as well. While
Mr.. Fairchild failed to bring about
trade with the Cherokees for the strip,
he had sufficient "pull" to roust a
fourth class postmaster and he ex-
ercised it with dispatch. Pecuniarily,
the loss to Mr.. Milford is of no great
consequence, as most of the proceeds
were required to conduct the office and
the time consumed, to say nothing of
the responsibility and annoyance, will
pay two-fold if exerted in behalf of
TIE CHIEFTAIN.
