The Advocates pusilianimous
attack on the non-citizens of the
Cherokee nation comes in mighty
poor taste at this time, in view of
the fact that these people are com.
plying with the law and secured
permits from the constituted
authorities of the nation. The
non-citizen that is here under per.
NIT and in the Employment of citi-
zens is the one class that we don't
want to get rid Of, and indeed that
we would find it difficult to do
without. Beside, these people
deserve better treatment aud
should not be attacked in any such
manner.

As HAS been so often reiterated
in the columns of this paper, the
way to keep intruders out OF the
country, and the only way, is to
place every citizen in possession
Of his or her pro rata share, and
then there will be no place for an
intruder to find lodgment. This
and this only will prevent the in
truders from aocking back into the
country in even increased num-
bers. As the matter now stands
hundreds of Cherokees are claim
ing farms and businesses for the
intruders, and until every citizen
is compelled to hold only his own
land the same trouble will remain.

tons band, who had escaped from
his guards at Tahlequah. Hamp-
ton, Brown and John Roach rode
by the house about midnight the
night of the killing, and Hampton
stopped at the gate and called for
Whitehead. They came out into
the road and after finding who the
party was attempted to arrest
them. Roach laid down his gun
when ordered, whereupon one of
his companions shot him in the
back, and then shot down Poorboy
and Whitehead. Hampton was
killed while resisting arrest.
Brown was convicted in March,

some Of the departments Of the
government. Although all tie
reports have not yet been made

thst the judiciary expenses for the
past year have been upwards of
s75, 600; more than they ever be-
fore amounted TO in the history of
the nation by a large sum. Dur
ing Bushyhead's administration
this department of the govern
ment never exceeded $40, 900. The
increased expenditure in the other
departments is said to be almost
in proportion to that of the judi.

Jim Cook, brother Of the leader
of the notorious Cook gang, who
has been under guard mere for sew
eral months awaiting trial for the
murder of Sequoyah Houston dur-
ing the payment, made his escape
Sunday, or at least that is the re-
port brought back TO town by his
1--WE guards. Cook and his guards
were out in the woods grape hunt
ing. AT an opportune moment il
is said Cook made a rush aud 80
quick was he that but one of the
guards got a shot at him. The
prisoner carried of a heavy trace
chain looked around his ankle and
waist. Although the guards stout
~ protest that Cook escaped, il is
hard TO believe he could thus run
off before five winchesters, and
some think he has been hidden
out in the country and this story
OF escape started TO throw the
Cook gang of, should they intend
TO liberate Jim, as threatened.

The board of education seems
to need reorgapizing very badly.
Although quite well acquainted
with their duties, it was found an
impossibility to get a quorum of

enough to settle with the high

annual report. President Frye is
the only member that has shown
up this fall and after exhausting
every effort to get the balance Of
the board together he is taking the
liberty Of settling up business as
best he can and making out re-
port alone. This apathy on the

shark Fighting.

"A gentleman was telling a party of us
about the way visitors are entertained down
at Nassau" said A. III. Lewis, the we'll
known correspondent, at WIZARDS. They
have a species of sport down there that
makes bull fighting as insipd as noodle
soup 1t is nothing less than catch-weight-
gO-as-you- please-to-3-finish events between
sharks. The harbor Of Nassau abounds in
sharks Of the man-elting variety, ranging
In length from four to ten feet and they
are always ready for scrap on a hint or
prOvOcation.
There are always fellows loafing about
the quays who are willing to give strangers
the delectable pleasure of watching a
shark fight The way they do it is inter
estlng. When their services are engaged
they procure 4 live pig and take it out of
the harbor and tie ii to the top of one of
the buOys. a lot Of white paper or chips
Of wood are then thrown into the water
to attract the sharks, and the boat, which
is always one Of the harbor tugs, stems
off a little way to give the strangers
aboard chance to see what follows. The
sharks come from all directions and pro-
coed to leap up for the pig. Their unsuc-
cessful attempts to get the interesting
porker set them wild. and they go To
fighting each other. Sometimes as many
as 300 Of the voracious fish are en-
gagged In battle royal, and numbers are
killed. "-WashingtO Star.
