A Puzzle For the Red Man.

There are some Creek Indians living
in the Cherokee Nation that are mar
ricd to CheroEees and some Cherokees
married to Greeks living in the Creek
Nation. The Creeks will not allow these
Cherokees any annuity because Of their

Greek blood in them the Cherokees will
not give the Creeks any annuity on ae-
count Of their Creek blood, and in tho
wrangle for annuity the Cherokees Nv-
ing i'll tho Creek Nation and married to
Creeks do not get any Creek money.
Neither will tho Cherolcees allow them
any Cherokee annuity because Of their
living in the Creek Nation, and vfoa

people are left OFF Of both the Cherokee
and Creek roles, although genuine

months. the attendance at the baseball
grounds was worry large. 1t fact it was
next to Richmond. The last game the
Rchmonds played.here in June some

and they said that they would
not attend any more games.
Some kept their word, Others
did not. Soon afterward, Wills
another club was playing here, 1t be-
gan raining before the fifth nuinR,

tinued TO do SO, but the last three
games which Lynchburg played the at
tendance was fairly good and the pros
poets began to look better for larger
attendance.
Yesterday the announcement was
made that MIR. Brady had decided to
transfer the three games which nre
scheduled to be played with the Rich
mond club on the 18th, 10th aud 18th
in this city to Richmond because he
claims that he will receive bet ter
patronage there.

expressed on the part of the public
yesterday, and some claim that he has
no right under his contract to do So
A number OF season tickets have been
sold to sec so many scheduled games,
aud MIR. Brady should carry out the
contract which was made between him
and the purchasers in good faith.
The people want to see the best clubs

the change is made those who hold the
franchise need expect but little from
