Chief Harris, Of the Cherokee nation,
arrived in Fort Smith Tuesday and held
q long conference with United States
District Attorney James X. Reed, in re-
gard to extensive swindles that are
being perpetrated upon the people in
Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Illinois,
and nearly all the Southern states.
1t has been discovered that attorneys in
Ark snsas are sending circulars broadcast
over the country announcing that any
person who has drop Of Indian blood in
his veins can be admitted to citizenship
in the Indian territory in time to share
in the Sc 100000 from the sale
Of the Cherokee bonds. To es.
tablish this claim and perfect citi
senship, . good round fee is ex'
acted from the dupes who bite at the
announcement. In the second place
there are 1000 persons illegally squattinl
on the territory, and these are sendin,
out circulars offering to sell the land
which they occupy, but to which the!

Don't Plant wet wheat

G. @. Fulton, who 10 farming the ranch
Of Silas Privett, near Kamaic Butte, says
the Walla Walls Statesman, has made
several experiments in the use Of We
wheat for seed. MIR. Fulton has consid.
cradle vet wheat which he contemplated
using for seed; but In order not TO 90 to
all the expense OF planting and then be
disappointed at the result, he made .
series Of tests with the wet wheat, and
has decided not to plant II. He discov.
cred that from one-iourth to ons-third Of
the wheat never sprouted at all, but sim.
ply rotted away; while that portion
which sprouted was very weak and I'M.
satisfactory. The pointer to farmers b q
timely one, and should be needed now.
Those who have been figuring ON the
availability Of wet wheat for seed for the
coming season owe 1t to their best inter
ests 10 make tests Of the grain, for BY
this means they may be saved from los'
next year.

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.
Settlers On Contested Land Claims Should
Apply to Local Courts.

In the case OF Sprouts ys. Durlante the
Oklahoma supreme court has rendered
decision OF great importance to settlers
upon government land everywhere.
Heretofore when several parties were
claiming the same piece OF land, contest
ing each other, both would live upon the
land, keeping up continual warfare for
years, or one would drive the other of
by main force and hold possession while
the contest case dragged along for months
and years through the land offices and
interior department. In this decision
the supreme court holds that the courts
of the section where the land is located
may take action in the matter, inquire
into the respective rights Of the parties
and award possession Of the land to the
proper parties, pending suit in the in
terror department. One important clause
reads, at is the duty of the court In
dealing with such matters to exercise itt
equity powers and see to 1t that pos
session is given to the person who, un
der the laws Of congress, is entitled te
it."

telegraphed home for his wife to send
him $500. She sent the money and has
not since heard from him. Saturday
she came here and solicited the aid OF
the police to find Orsini. He had some
things shipped to him here, and 1t Is
supposed he has simply departed. He
had been married but 8 few weeks and
he and his wife had not been acqualnt-
ed much longer Mrs. Oraini is an
American and was widow. The mon
ey she sent him was hers. She refuses
to believe that he is faithless to her and
has become hysterical several times,
once or twice going into swoon.
A nephew of Orsinis figures in the
case, and seems very anxious to nave
his uncle located and brought back to
his heart-broken wife. He wanted the
police to telegraph to New Mexico ana
try TO have the man unprecedented there,
saying he was always talking ABOUT go
ing to that territory.
The last seen of Orsini was when he
left Mr.. Gavin, after completing arran-
gements to buy the saloon, and started
to go to Reymann's brewery to see II he
could not secure signature to ,hiE bond
when he was ready to take charge OF the
saloon. Last evening Lieut.. Gaus made q
thorough investigation of the case. and
found the man had left an overcoat at
the Pan Handle station. Hints OF foul
play have been thrown out, but there IS
little to sustain this theory. 1t Is said
on Orsini's behalf that he had RESPONSE

where he handled large sums of money,
and that he never proved recreant to

very sad feature to the report. It was
learned that his death was not directly
due to the disease with which he was
afflicted, but that he died by his own
hand.
Mr.. Plummer's mind had presumably
boon affected by his sickness, as no
cause can be assigned for his lament

laboring under mental alteration. The
family were all out of the room about
noon, when he secured a revolver and
