INDICTMENTS ILLEGAL.
Judge Stewart Decides an Important Point
in Regard to the Power of Indian

Judge Stewart Decides an Important Point
in Regard to the Power of Indian
Courts.
ARDMoRE, I. T., Oct 19-In the
United States court question of much
interest and of great Importance to
many citizens of the territory was de-
cided. Two citizens of the Cherokee
nation, Thomas Williams and Bill
Christie, one a citizen by blood, the
other citizen by inter-marrIage, un-
der sentence of death in the Cherokee
courts upon conviction of murder, APP
piled to Judge Stuart for a writ of
habeas corpus upon the ground that in
their trial they were deprived of the
constitutional right of trial on indict-
ment presented by grand jury, claim
ing the Cherokee grand jury was un-
lawful because composed of only five
men.
Judge Stewart decided that by the
act of congress creating his court the
constitution of the United States was
made operative in the Indian territory;
that the tribal court retained complete
jurisdiction in the trial of their citizens,
provided that in such trial they did not
violate the constitution of the United
States: that the constitutional provision
that no person should be tried for any
capital offense, except upon Indictment
by grand jury. meant common
law grand jury of not less than twelve
nor more than twerty-three men; that
if the applicants have not been indict-
ed by such a grand jury, they were en-
titled to the writ of habeas corpus
which he granted, returnable Octo-
Der 2S
The court held that although con-
stitutional provision requiring indict
ment by grand jury was not limita-
ton upon the power of the states, it
was such Limitation upon the Indian
tribes by virtue of trea ties and the act
of congress-

Missing Vessel Discovered at the Bottom
of Lake Erie-MeIancholy Story of the
Massachusetts, Fishing Season.

a Missing vessel discovered at the BOTTOM
of Lake Erie-MeIancholy Story of the
Massachusetts, Fishing Season.
CLEVELAND, o.. Oct pa large YES
sci has gone to the bottom of Lake
Erie, a few miles from this port. Capt.
Joseph Single, of the fishing tug R. T.
Roy, made the startling discovery. He
was running out to lift his nets when
he saw the spars of sunken vessel
protruding from the water. There
were three single stick spars, with
white painted tops, each ornamented
with gilt spheres About thirty-five
feet were exposed. The vessel is
twenty three miles from this port.
Capt. Single took sounding and
found she was lying in thirteen fathoms
of water.
j. NJ. Jones. of the firm of j. NJ. Jones
& Bro, ship agents, told an Associated
press representative that the foundered
boat was undoubtedly his schooner, the
Riverside. She has been missing since
the big storm of the 18th, and no It'd
ingf have been CLEANED from her since
that time. The Riverside was COM
manded by Capt. David G. harrington,
of Detroit, and his wife was cook on
the boat. She carried five other per-
sons, all of whom are undoubtedly lost.
The only names that could be learned
of the missing ones are Joseph Har-
greaves, his son John and John Paige,
both Seamen.
STORY OF DISASTER.
GLOUCESTER, Mass, Oct 24.-The
closing of the fishing season tells a
melancholy story of disaster as well as
success and gain. During the year
there have been lost at sea from this
port fifty-seven men, leaving ten wild
ows and thirty-two children. Ten yes
sells valued at about $780, 900 foundered
or stranded. From 1880, since a record
has been kept, to 1898 there have been
$50 vessels cast away at sea, valued at
1000, 900. The number of lives lost
were 1921, and including those lost
from this port on the sea prior to 1880,
the list of the lost will amount to abo ut

No Prize Fight.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2..-Mayor Boody.
of Brooklyn, yesterday gave it out that
he would not permit the prize fight be-
tween Jim Corbett and Charley Mitch
ell to take place at Coney island. Dis
trict Attorney Ridgeway is also report
ed to have said the offering of purse
by the Coney Island Athletic club was
more or less a bluff to find out how the
people of Brooklyn and Kings county
would stand it, and that the tolerance
of a prize fight, that is, an internation-
al prize fight, would never be consid-
cred.
