Judging from the tenor of In

aminers ofthe Chickasaw Nation,
we infer that this-parGieular part
of Chickasaw law-and it is a
good one-will be strictly COM
piled with. The fulfllr ent OF
this law protects alike the well

THE OLD YEAR.

Death is sad under all con-
ditions, but there is a constant
passing away of things terrestrial.
The dread of the good-by sad
dens the hasty welcome. The
skeleton which hangs over the
thought, 1--WE may never meet
sgain, - causes a sigh whenever
friends touch fingers for the
adieu. The cloud which hangs
over today is the fear of the to-
m prov. HOW many kindly.
motherly eyes watch baby tc
sleep; and think, as the little one
is tucked away to bed when the
day is dead and wrapped in the
gloom of night, will the loved one
wake again when the morning
comes. There is a last time to
all things. A last kiss, a last
caress, and finally a long last
farewell that seems to desolate
all love and hope.
Notwithstanding business de-
preston and the scarcity of mon
ey in circulation, the world has
advanced in the past year. The
people are better educated and
learn from day to day to have a
higher regard for morality and a
greater reverence for Him who
created all the worlds. Then
1894 has not been a failure.
When we bid the old year good
bye we step across the line to
the new as the old clock ticks the
hour of midnight. Simply a
breath spans the time between
the two, and may not that be
the limit of time between life and
eternity. He sleeps here; he
awakes over yonder; only the
journey of a dream from the
: shores of time to the gold-paved
street of the Celestial city. AT
least let us think so, and as we
bid farewell to the old dead year
may we welcome the new born
one with gladness and song,
hoping that it may bring US more
of good cheer, more warm
friends, more health and Shappi-
ness, and more prosperity than
the old.
Today is good time to review
the deeds of the dying year, and
prepare to welcome the new born
one, hoping it may be typical of
the welcome awaiting every hu-
man soul in the sweetly scented

O'Brien and Tony.
Knowing the nature Of the people,
Mr.. O'Brien has since gone armed.
Yesterday he was going about his work
as usual when the Italian accosted him
and in threatening manner began be-
rating him. The discussion finally be-
came very warm, and the Italian TAX
ing offence at not obtaining satisfac-
tion reached for and drew forth an
ugly looking revolver of heavy calibre.
Mr.. O'Brien observing the action and
mistrusting his motive quickly pulled
his gun and fired. The action was
SO quick and the aim so accurate that
the Italian lost all self control and
cried out with rage.
Officer Connell, who witnessed the
occurrence, endeavored to arrest the
Italian. but found the task hard one.
1t was only with the assistance of
Chiet LOTUS that he succeeded in
landing the desperate man in the lock
up. Later in the day he was commit =
ted and taken to Wilkes. Barre and
confined in the county Jail.
The affair caused the greatest excite
msnt imaginable at the time. and was
