BARBAROUS
Torture Inflicted Upon An American Citizen Under
the Guiss OF Law BY Cherokee Indians-Jabbsd
With Steel Needles by Young Bucks.

GUTHRIE, o. T., December IA
story Of atrocity smacking Of the usage
OF barbarian country, comes from
David, a small town In the interior Of
the Indian Territory.
Colonel A. j. Blackwell, well-known
in the West, was arrested for
selling land and according to
the Cherokee laws was sentenced
to death for high treason.
Blackwell, when the territory was
opened for settlement, founded the town
OF David, and started new sect, pre-
tending to be prophet sent Of God,
which engendered the III will Of num-
ber of Cherokees, who, 1t is said,
hatched a conspiracy to put him out Of
the way. Since arrested he has not
been allowed to even communicate with
the outside world, and has been
FED UPON Bread AND WATER.
On Moday, the story goes, Blackwell,
after being close shaven and stripped OF
MS ClOtuest was OIOuEHb OoAOlO OAiSA
Oaha, who was then holding a sub
council, and asked to confess.
Blackwell answered that be had no
confession to make, that he was the
victim Of q malicious conspiracy, and
asked 10 be released.
Instead he was carried bodily to the
"Needles," place Of torture adjoining
the prison, and there be was submitted
TO treatment horrible in the extreme.
Ten bucks danced around their victim
and each welding a steel. used for the
purpose, jaUbed the naked flesh Of
blackwell. Their terrible cries and
tortures were kept up till Blackwell,
bleeding and faint, sank to the ground.

fervent appeals OF his relatives and
friends.
What makes the case more compli-
coted IL the fact that Blackwell Is q

stated.

LEXINGTON, MASS, December T.
DR.. Cyrus Hanlin, of this town, whose
article In the COagregdtionGlist on the
Armenian troubles year ago has been
translated by the Turkish government
and sent out to the European powers as
a defense Of the recent atrocities COM
mltted on the Armenians by the Mos
lens, was seen tonight by so Associs-
ted Press reporter. DR.. Hamlin was
for many years missionary in Turkey,
and knows something OF the temper OF
the Turks regarding Christians. He
had, moreover. seven years contest
with the Turkish authorities over the
building OF the famous Roberts College
in ConstantinoUle, but finally carried the
day.
He said to-day: THE Turks are ca
pable of being melted TO atrocious acts
through their Intense Mahommedan
feelings. They are capable Of religious
excitement that would lead them TO
''riIE MOST HORRIBLE EXTREMES.
"The great danger is that the populace
will become excited, and instead OF
trusting TO the sodiery will become an
infurlated mob TO destroy the Armeni-
ans themselves That has been my
fear. At the same time l have always
said that tho revolutionary movement
is of Russian origin. Russian gold and
craft govern IL. That is my opinion
still.
'The Armenians are so scattered In
Turkey that the very idea OF revolu-
tion on their part is absurd. The Ar
meniaus are everywhere buying up
Turkish lands. The Armenian popula-
tlon is increasing, and the Turkish
population is decreasing. Twenty years
ago Turk would not sell . piece OF
land to an Armenian at any price. Now
the Turks are eager to sell, because the
Armenians are the only ones who will
buy. The Turkish government is
wholly inexcusable

cannot see why the Turks have sent q

know the Turkish character very well
and know that there is a great deal OF
good in IL. Yeni has reported
to the Turkish government that
the Armenians In America are
sending oil arms through Persli
into Turkey for revolutionary
purposes. This is childish, 1t Is none
sense to anybody that knows anything
about the matter, but these reports sent
out from such an authority throughout
the world will be believed. venture
to say that there has never been a rife
nor pound of ammunition sent into
Turkey by the revOlutionists OF Amer
ica.
"The whole idea emanates from Rus
sia and is merely a subterfuge TO give
good occasion for Russia TO march into
Armenia and take control"

THE DAY IN THE HOUSE.
WASHINGTON. D. c., December =
The House spent an hour to-day in the
consideration Of the bill to protect for
est reservations. The remainder OF
the day was occupied in the further
discussion OF the railroad pooling bill.
The debate was participated in by
Messrs Bartlett, New York; Cochran,
New York, and Wise, Virginia, in sup
port, and Messrs. Bryan, Nebraska, and
Northwsy, Ohio. in opposition to the
bill. The speech of Mr.. Cochran was
especially brilliant, and for almost an
hour held the House spellbound.
Debate under the 6ve-minute rule be-
gins tomorrow, and it is expected that
a fnal vote will be reached on Tuesday
OF next week. The bulk OF the oppo-
sitlon seems to be directed at the sec
tion of the bill which gives railroads
the right to appeal TO the courts from
the decision of tbs commission revok-

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, December t.
Although the Hayward brothers are In

the shot which killed Catharine Cling.
10 fact, while they have made
great progress, they are really long
Ways yet from solving the mystery as TO
the Identity Of the actual murderer. 1t
is believed that q warrant is out for the
apprehension OF the man, but the au-
thorities will neither affirm nor deny
that they know who be is. From an In
side source, however, Il is learned that
they confidently expect his arrest very
shortly. probably to-day. The aliOis OF
the Hayward brothers are perfect so
far as
THE TINE OF THE ACTUAL MURDER
Is concerned. An important admission
made By Hayward TO the authorities
wilhelm the sweat box yesterday, which
has Just leaked out Is that Miss Cling
was his mistress. BE admitted the
liason, and in the next breath denied
smphatlcally that he desired her death.
II Is known, too, that Hayward was
verV much smitten with the young
LADY whom be took TO the theatre on
The night OF the tragedy, that be was In
fact engaged to marry ner aud that the
trosseau had been bought and the day
set The authorities believe that this
fact may furnish the additional motive
deemed necessary TO explain the crime.
It has seemed scarcely possible that so
horrible crime should be instigated by
HAYWARD for the $4,000 insurance
money which would be obtained and
which be would have to share With the
