Trouble Brewing In Choctaw Nation.
PARIS, Tex, March 25.-Word has been
received from Antlers that Choctaw fac
tions Of armed men are rapidly gathering,
and it il doubtful if . conflict can be
avoided.
Judge Durant, who arrived here late to-
night, reports the situation at Antlers a.
extremely critical. He says the trouble is
the outgrowth of the assassination of five
Jones men by Jackson men near McAllis-
ter last summer. Locke is suspected of
protecting Albert Jackson, who was
wanted for completely in the McAllster
killing. and when the Choctaw authorities
demanded of him to arrest Locke, if it was
in his power, he failed to do 80. This
aroused hatred between the two factions
and both sides rushed to arms.

Commercial National, Of Nashville, Sus-
pends-Liabtlities Over $500, 900.
NASHVILLE. March 25-The Commercial
National bank, of This city. suspended this
afternoon after banking hours. The cause
OF the suspension was the failure two days
ago Of Dobbins. Dazey & Co., whose chief
offices were in this city, the firm be-
ing largely indebted to the Commercial
National bank. At q meeting of repre-
sentatives of other banks in the
reached that there was no reason in the
present condition of affairs for appre-
hendinR another suspension among the
banks Of the city, and that business would
20 on as usual. The Commercial National
has capital stock of $500, 900, and sur
plus fund and undivided profits Of sec, 900.
It il believed that all depositors will be
paid in full and that the stockholders.
when the affairs Of the bank are wound
up, will lose but little, if anything. The
bank owes dspositors about $500. 900.
Mr.. Spur, president of the bank. says
the failure of Dobbins, Darcy 4 Co. in
volved the bank in . heavy loss. the exact
amount Of which can not yet be ascer-
tanned. The stringency of the money
market in the East rendered it difficult to
rediscount, and a. rumors detrimental to
the interests of the bank were being circu-
lated on the streets of Nashville, in order
that run on the bank might be avoided
and all creditors to be permitted to share
alike in its assets, suspension was re-
garded - the only course left to the bank.
Nearly the entire amount Of the indebted
ness of this firm to the bank was brought
about by means Of gross misstatement
regarding the shipments of cotton made to
Darcy. The bank holds life insurance
policies upon the life of Daxey amounting
to S175, 900 as part security for the amounts
due from that firm.
