Some only contain dozen stars, this

are crowded, even to the number oil

Some days ago a copy Of the Xenia, O.,
Gazette was received by Mr.. Miles,
Judge Of this city, containing an ac-
count of the death Of William Mckay,
in the Kimberly diamond fields Of South
Africa. The account stated that de-

Mckay, daughter of o. N. Mckay.
Soon after Mr.. Mckay died, leaving on

them. Through the ravages of death
Mrs. Mckay becomes an heir to share
of the vast millions left in the African

consul at Cape Town, Hon. Charles H
Benedick, as inniatory to securing the
legacy.
About twenty years ago William Nc
Kay was living at Xenia, O., with 9TH

logging on the Ohio river. He made a
trip to Mississippi about that time
sending a letter home announcing his
safe arrival. From that time until the
announcement of his death nothing

CROOKED WORK AT NORMAN.
Indian Died But They Still Drew his
Pension Money.

Norman, o. T., Dec. 31.-(Special)
There is greater excitement here now
among the leading Populists than was
at the recent elelection, when they car
ried this county. The United States
grand jury returned twenty-one indict-
ments for various fraudulent thansac-
tons in connection with the pension
of an Indian named Siote, who has been
dead for three years, but his friends
have been drawing his pension all the
time. T. E. Berry, county attorney
elect, J. S. Allen, counsellor-elect, c. P.
case, notary public, and c. B. Nc
Ginley, ex-county clerk, are indicted
for making false certificates. Bob Ber-
ry, Andrew Berry, S. p. Bradsley and
several others, who witnessed the false
certificates, are indicted for conspiracy
and perjury. Mrs. Slote is indicted on
five counts for perjury. 7. z. Berry
is also indicted for forgery, conspiracy,
perjury and subornation of perjury.
Most of the parties are probably only
technically guilty, they doubtless hav-
ing acted on the advice T. E. Berry,
who seems to be the leader in the whole
matter and the Populists Of this coun-
ty generally do anythoing he tells them
to and nearly all the parties indicted
are Populists. Nearly all the warrants
were served today. Bonds were placed
at fifteen hundred dollars on each
count and Were generally given with
out much trouble.
