NED CHRISTIE KILLED.
Dyn amite Used to Dislodge Him
Arch Wolf Also Perishes.

This noted desperate, after defying
the United States and Cherokee au-
thorities for half dozen years, nearly,
was killed by the Ft Smith deputy
marshals last Thursday at his home
fourteen miles from rahlequah The
officers, sixteen in number, surrounded
the house, which was almost a fort,
without attracting attention, during
the previous night. About daylight
the door opened and Arch Wolfe, a
comrade of Chrisiie's, emerged and
started for the spring near by. lie
was ordered TO surrender, but refusing
was fred on and fell, but quickly
jumped up and ran into the house,
from which by this time shower Of
lead began to be poured The women
folks were soon sent out Of the house,
for safety, and the battle begun. AS
1t seemed impossible to dislodge the
outlaws by other means the use of dy-
Mantle was resorted TO with the re-
suit Of blowing down part Of the house
and setting it on FIRE. Christie, who
had been secreted underneath the floor
crawled out and started to run, firing
as he went voley from the officers
weapons silenced him forever and it is
easy to believe that a sense Of relief
was felt by all. Charles Hare, the
third one of the desperadoes who were
qusrtered in the house, attempted to
escape, badly burned, but was caplur-
ed and held on the charge Of assault
ing United states officers. The re-
mains Of Wolfe, the man frst wounded.
were burned up in the cabin, Il is re-
ported The captured prisoner and
the body Of Christie were conveyed to
Fort Smith. That the usual reward
Of $500 for the capture of a murderer
of an officer will be paid by the govern
ment is doubted, as it is specified that
the person shall be taken alive.
During Chief Bushyhead's second
term Ned Christie was one OF the ex-
ecutiye councillors. Ills dognfal is
generally attributed to mistake,
though by no means an excusable one.
Having a grudge against another Cher
okee named Manus, he stationed
himself one night at the brook IN the
north part Of Tahlequah, near where
the new seminary now stands, expect
ing his victim would pass by there.
Shortly after Deputy Marshal Dan
Naples started to cross the stream on
a foot lo.r. and being about the size Of
Manus, Christie mistook him for the
latter and fred, killing him on the
spot. Repeated efforts have been made
90 capture Christie, but lie has fought
the officers of in every case until the
last. One Of the first attempts made
to effect the outlaws arrest was by L.
P. Isbell, city marshal Of Ninita, in
xhlch be feceiyed a shot in the
shoulder, Gripping him for life. Scarce
Is month ago q raid was made by
the officers in which tao vers wounded.
from the effects Of which one has since
died Christie was something under
ffty years Of age, a full blood Chero-
kee and probably the most dangerous
man the nation has had within its
borders for a number Of years.

Cured about $50 clock. He had been

regard them as the prime cause, as l
have already stated, but rather as aux
iliaries that tend to stimulate and nOur-
ish the germ that already exists. There
are, as we all know, in the breast of
every one, two diametrically opposite
forces, viz, goodand evil. The develop
ment of either one consequently means
the weakening of the other to an extent
prOpOrtionate to the development of the
other. The fountain head of crime lies
In our animal natures, and the gratiti-
cation of our animal prOpensitieS soon
stimulates them to such a degree that
they soon require the mastery over our
better natures. Precisely so with the
cultivation of the moral nature of man.
The moral and animal being are anita
gOnistic to each other, they cannot exist
and work in harmony; either the one or
the other must rule. In order, therefore.
TO successfully grapple with the prob
lem of reformation of criminals, the
two most important things to accom-
plish is, first, the removal of such causes
as tend to develop animal passions;
and second, to provide such means as
will be best suitable for the develop
ment of the higher and nObler functions
of man. And, yet, another requisite is
necessary, and that is a cooperation on
The part of those treated. This is absO-
lutely essential, for without this no per-
manent results could be reasonably ex-
pected. With these three essentials the
removal of certain salient causes, the
provision of ample means for educating
the criminal to respect the laws of man
and his Creator, and securing his hearty
cooperation, there is no doubt but that
crime would soon reach minimum.

turned to see what effect the scene had
upon my companions. The youngest
among them were entranced with the
pleasing picture. Those of more expe-
rience and maturer years gaZed indif-
ferently upon the panorama, and SO great
was the temptation that some of the
former turned and retraced their steps.
We that remained turned our backs on
the Turing tempter and followed the
narrow path up the incline. Some be-
ing weaker than others began to grow
weary. The strong instead of helping
the weak persuaded them to turn back.
Onward and upward we went, now
climbing over huge bOulders, now
jumping across deep crevices, some
times passing beneath Overhanging
Lodges that seemed about to fall and
destroy us. One of the party picked
up broken branch of tree to use as
a staff; the poor fellow did not carry it
long as one of his companions, seeing
him unable to protect his property ap-
prOpriated it to his own use. Having
no longer the assistance of his staff he
soon sank exhausted. He cast plead
ing eye at us, but we hurried OH being
too bent on our own safety to give him
assistance. At last after many trials
we, that had persevered, reached the
summit; and if the view from the end
of the ravine was grand the aspect from
the summit was sublime We could
see the city below us, but how unsigni-
fcant it looked; it seemed more like
collection of toy houses than the thriv-
ing place we had left. We could not
distinguish the river, and even the
groves appeared like fields Of weeds.
We turned and looked in the other di-
rection, and oh. what beautiful sight
we beheld. There were many large
cities, and beautiful groves lined the
rivers that wound through the cultivated
plains. Beyond the plains a noble
mountain lifted it's snowy head towards
the sky. Still further, beyond all, an
other mountain reared majestically un-
til its summit was lost in the clouds.
For long time we stood enraptured
by this glorious vision; and then, as if
some guiding voice had commanded,
we simultaneously began the descent
towards the land of promise. &C.

Clim bing the Mountain.

With regret we left the city and its
many tempting pleasures behind and
took the narrow road that wound
around the foot hills to the base of the
mountain and began the difficult ascent.
The path lead through deep solemn
wood so gloomy and still, we scarce
dared speak above whisper. Yet,
there were little clearings through
which the sun shone; and how welcome
were these small rays of light in that
lonely wilderness. Once or twice a
bird broke the silence with melOdious
song, that cheered the way and brought
hope to our failing hearts. AS the path
grew sleeper we saw it almost over
grown with briers; we were often COM
PEELED to scramble over fallen trees that
the storms had blown across the way.
The more we advanced the more of
these distractions we encountered, until
finally the path ended abruptly at the
foot of very high and steep cliff.
We gazed in despair at the precipi-
tous heights. First on one then on an
other and another until we had all tried
and failed to reach the top. Some COM
pletely discouraged turned and took the
path through the forest down the
mountain. Among the remaining ones
was one who spoke, saying: "Let us
not waste time and risk our lives trying
to accomplish an impossibility. 1t is
my opinion that if we follow along the
foot of this cliff, we shall come to a
place where we can scale it," This
gave us courage; and we had not pro-
ceeded far when we came to where the
cliff was less steep and overhung with
creeping vines, with the aid of which
we easily reached the top.
We found path that lead up the
mountain. Our way no longer OBJ
structed we hastened forward, some
times passing along the brink of deep
chasms where an unlucky step would
have hurled the unfortunate one to the
rocks below. For sometime the path
lead us through a deep ravine, SO deep
that for while we lost sight of the sun
altogether. AS we emerged from this
dark ravine wonderful scene burst
upon us. Far below, glistening in the
sun, lay the city we had left surrounded
by green groves; in the distance like a
silver thread sparkled the river. 1
