the foreign ships and notice the different ideas
of discipline which prevail and which to great
degree is typical Of the nations. On the En-

The Youthful Outlaw Give Up
And Will Stand Trial.

For several weeks past IL has
been supposed that Ed Newcomb b,
the youthful outlaw, has contem-
plated making a surrender. This
was made some days since at his
mothers home on California creek
north of Nowata, and was largely
caused by the earnest solicitation
of Newcomb's mother, who is q
good woman, though doubtless he
had several hundred dollars bounty
on his head, assisted Newcomb TO
make this decision,
Newcomb communicated his
willingness to surrender and stand
trial, to the authorities at Fort
Smith and Marshal G.. s. White
and posse, j. &. Wilkinson, were
sent TO fetch him. They arrived
in Nowata and at once proceeded
to the home Of his step-father,
Adam Wilson, and secured their
man-boy.
Newcomb is about 20 years OF
age, dark complexioned, about five
feet six inches in height and rather
heavy set. He is of Delaware de-
scent and decidedly boyish in APP
pearance.
He is one of the notorious Starr
Newcomb gang, which might be
styled apprentices of the late Dal.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Friend Adair, in
his last communication, declared
positively that eastern Cherokees
who remained in the states drew
out all that was due them in lands
and money, therefore they had no
interest in the present Cherokee
domain. This | denied, and sus-
tanned my denial by the first ar
ticle of the supplementary treaty
OF 1886, which canesietai that t.h4sstt --y5TT--

was a settlement Of the difficulties
between the different factions of
the Cherokees that existed at that
time. Why did they mention the
eastern Cherokees if they had no

the treaties of 1917 and 1919 to

been a very expen.ye one to the
people Of that nation as c is un-

well-nigh deplete the Choctaw
