TAHLEQUAH, I. T., May News has just
reached here of a terrible state of affairs

seems that James Iitele, deputy sheriff of
Coowee district, has been attending to his
duties closely, so far as selling intruderS'
places and removing non-citizeus from the
Nation is concerned. A certain colored
man was running store at Lanapier He
was simply claiming it for u non-citiZen
darkey. When the deputy sheriff got hold
of the facts in the case he proceeded to con-
fiscate the storehouse and goods under the
Nations laws. Last Monday negro was
found dead on the railroad track. \ large
neighborhood of colored people accuse the
sheriff and his crowd of killing the darkey
and laying him on the track to leave the i'm
preston that he was killed by the train
passing over the body. The people did not
believe this, and over a hundred and fifty
consregated at Lanapier. armed TO the
teeth, seeking revenge. They took charge
OF the town and are still in possession of it.

sistance and to send body of men from

ALLIANCE RATES.
They Were Not Refused by the Western
Passenger Association.

The assertion has been made that the
Western passenger association had refused
special round trip rates 10 the Alliance or
ganizatiou for the convention at Cincinnati.
No application for rates has been made. A
rate was asked in the name of the national
conference OF industrial organizations and
the national conference of reform associa-
tons and others Of like nature. No action
was taken on the request at the last meet
ing because the Central passenger associa-
ton hal not acted, and neither the Western
nor the Trans Missouri could act until it
had done so. for the reason that Cincinnati
is in Central territory and. that association
must name the basing rate. As far as the
Alliance people are concerned, no applica-
ton has vet been made in its name, and con-
sequently none has been refused.

The Kansas City, Watkins and Gulf has
sent TO the Fort Worth and Denver re-
quest for the exchange of annual passes
over the Denver's lines. The peculiar au-
dacity of the nerve possessed by this com
pany lies in the fact that the Kansas City,
Watkins and Gulf is projessed road and
but a few miles are under construction, so
il the Denver people desired TO travel over
that road they must either take chances on
a material train or ''hoof it, When this
road has a hundred miles or so in operation
the request will probably be granted.
