III UGH A. DINSMORE, Of Fay
N etteville, congressman from the
northwest Arkansas district was auto
graphed at the Cobb house Sunday on
his way "out west" on hunting ex-
peditlon. At Claremore he met Mar
shal Crump and others who made up
the party. Dinsmore, during his two
terms in congress, has succeeded in
carving for himself name Of which
many men older than himself in state
craft might be proud. His genteel
bearing and pleasant manners, to-
gether with his Incompatible wit and
bright humor, and his chunks Of
Washington county philosophy, have
made his name well known far be-
yond the confines of the tooth-pick
state.

IA ANY CONTESTS come up for
y3l adjudication by the Old Set
tier commission, as reported by T. II.
Knight who was up from TT. Gibson
a few days since. Some one will file
a claim as heir to an old settler; then
along comes another person and sets
up claim under the same ancestor;
notice is then served upon number one
to submit evidence in support Of his
claim, and as he is frequently very
slow about complying great deal OF
time is consumed or wasted for the
commission. The result is that II
will be some time yet before the COM
missions work is done, and In spite OF
their best endeavors many fraudulent
claimants will no doubt get upon the
Old Settler rolls.

WyHE PROFESSIONAL CARD Of

r. ]. b. Turner, attorney at law,
will be found in the proper depart
ment OF this paper. Mr.. Turner has
OF late been associated with Col.
Frederick, Of Fit. Smith, the gentle
man who enjoys the distinction OF
being the first attorney who secured
reversal OF Judge Parker in capital
case by the United States supreme
court. THE CHIEFTAIN endeavors to
be very careful and conservative In
bestowing its concentrations, but
letters in Mr.. Turner's possession
warrant his receiving our unqualified
endorsement as a lawyer and a gentle
man. Federal apd civil judges and
attorneys unite in stating him to be
deserving OF the fullest confidence
and his addition to the bar of Vinita
is valuable acquisition. Judge
Parker especially says Of Mr.. Turner
that 'he is good speaker, prepares
his cases thoroughly and tries them
well.n
