This is Americas day when Americans
meet to celebrate the birth of the AmerI-
can republic. We do not meet as partisans
to cross swords on party issues, but as
patriots, to rejoice in the possession OF II
common country. We stand upon the
mountaintop and overlook the land we
love, and rejoice in our possession. The
inspiration of this day is love Of country,
a holy sentiment, which drives out party
spirit and sectional animosity. Our
minds are drawn back to the heroic Pc
riod of the infancy of the republic, the
struggle for national independence and
its wonderful results to all mankind. No
nation has greater day, one so full OF

properly be termed old fashioned. The
different features we're of that simple and
impressive character which breathed
spirit of patriotism in every word spoken,

The Declaration of Independence was
rendered in six different public places

the apparently peculiar lack of thought

This link OF the world that ties sea to sea,
Where never bondsman clanks a chain,
And the serf may come to his own again.
At sight of its sheen now the red tide runs

Who in days agone on the smoking field
Saw it's battling foemen fighting yield;
Saw its colors fly DER the parapeus

Till the stars in the heavens faint and

Be stricken the hand that would pull it
From the tow ring staff that its glores
crown!
To its foes defance-let cannons roar
Salutes to the flag OF the forty-four!
And shall we patiently see exist
Beside it the rag of the anarchist?
Shall we see it shamed by an alien host,
That testers the land from coast to coast?
Shall galvanized patriots taint its dyes
With smirch of their rank cupidities?

b<Aitid<Aos req. 20.
AZ o'clock this morning Police On
GERS Tanner and Rawlins, on duty in
the reservation. found a man In an
unconscious state on the bank OF the
branch near the Dolly Warden sGloon
and dance hall.
The officers called for the patrol
wagon and had the man taken 10 the
police headquarters.
DR.. Gilmore, who was called In, an
nouneed that the man was suffering
from either morphine or laudanum pol
son. and that he was beyond the reach
Of antldotes
The man died at $50 a. m.
From letters found on him 1t APP
pears that the name OF the deceased
was Aaron Bracken. He had one let
ter from brother in linda, Ellis coun-
", Texas. and another from a cousin
at Jeffersonvllle. ILL., A book In his
pocket showed that he had been haul
ing cotton to gin at Lancaster, and
IN the back Of the book the name sam
Braeken, Lancaster, Tex" was wit
ten.
The man was apparently between
20 and 30 years old and was dressed
oH n AtiiAAi AthbTtI.
Justice SHELTON inquested the re-
mains, which were turned over TO I'm
dertaker Linskie. who has wired the
relatives Of the deceased as to direc-
lions for disposlng of the body.
When MIR. Llnskle went TO dress the
body he discovered what ne supposed
to be the effects OF charge OF small
shot In the chest and stomach. and at
tributed the result OF death to this, ard
not to the poison.
But late this evening DR.. Gilmore
stated that Bracken positively did die
from poison; that what the undertakers
took to be small shot wounds were
perforations made by a hypodermlc sy-
ringe used in injecting fluid to get up
circulation.
The find has caused considerable
comment on the streets today, as cases
of this kind are becoming too frequent
in tile reservation.
Detective Bob Cornwell who has been
working on the case today. says he
finds that a man answering the de-
scription OF Bracken was circulating
around in the reservation last night,
but he finds nobody knew the deceased
or could throw any light on his taxi
