Very Embarrassing Proceedings in the
Contest Over the Shrieyalty
Before Judge SeaWelI.

The contest OF James McNab, the defeated
Non. Partisan candidate for Sheriff at the last

test, chiefly on the ground that McNabs state
ment was not sufficiently specific. The de-
murrer however. was promptly overruled by
Judge Seawell. after which the counting OF
votes commenced. The firm of Chickering,
Thomas s. Gregory represented McNab in the
contest.
The whole thing was very orderly. very quiet.
There was not the same excitement that has
been and Is prevailing In Judge Hebbard's
courtroom. where the Haley vs.. Curry recount
is going on. Very few persons were present
except those Immediately interested. and as the
gains on either side we're exceedingly small the
day passed without interest. Charles Smith
was appointed caller and Thomas II. keogh

occupied the position OF official tally clerk,
while T. B. McGinnis was In his place as clerk

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1E-W. n. Hail
man. superintendent of Indian schools,
came in yesterday from FL Reno,
where he had been attending conven-
ton of teachers in Indian schools in
the southwest. Mr.. Mailman said that
there is not an Indian tribe in
Oklahoma which is not able to take
care of itself in the main by labor,
and he takes the position that the
aid being given the Indians by the gov
eminent is an actual injury to them.
He says that it is useless to educate
the Indians and send them home dup
ing vacations to be surrounded with
lazy parents, who are being fed by
the government. The Cheyennes and
Arapahoe Indians are citizens of
the United States; they vote at cleo
tions and at the same time they are
getting government help. Many white
men would take government supplies
if they could get them. but it would be
an injury to them, as it is to the In
dians. The professor says the Indians
should be made to work for a living,
where they have land suited to agri-
cultural pursuits, and the method now
in vogue is a great injury to the In
dians themselves, but does not offset
the work of the schools. 1t is under
stood that the Indian Office is likely
to take a new departure in its recon-
mendations for appropriation by con-
gress for the support of Indians. The
plan will probably be to place a lump
sum to the credit of the commissioner of
Indian affairs, to be used at his dis
erection, and in cases where Indians
should work for living or are rem
dered unable to do so by sickness, and
in this way force the Indians to be self
sustaining.
