TAHLEoUAH NOTES.
Two ShootIngs Marriage OF J. W.
Duncan n-Miscellaneoua.

Rev. r. e. Neighbor, a returned
missionary from Brazil and one of
the noted young evangelisss of the
country, is holding a. revival at
the Baptist church here this week.
The meetings are largely attended
and many conversions are result
ing.
Last Saturday, while fishing in
the Illinois river near the stand
ing Rock neighborhood, about ten
miles south of here, Lewis Ice was
assassinated by some unknown
party or parties. He was shot
through the heart with a winches.
ter. Ice was connected with the
McLemore murder last fall in some
way, and it is thought his assassin
alton resulted from that trouble.
d. w. Bushyhead has Just re-
turned from Muskogee where he
went to receive instructions for the
immediate erection of a federal
court house at this place. He will
let the contract at once. The
structure is to be of brick and will
be built on Mr.. Bushyhead's lot
just west of Parks department
store. No Jail is likely to be built
before next fall or winter, and
prisoners failing to make bond will,
be kept at Muskogee. v
At the NJ. e. church south Sun.
day night, after the usual sermon
by Rev. j. s. Lamar, he joined in
marriage Prof. j. w. Duncan and
Miss Lucinda Burlington. The
wedding was very pretty one
and.was witnessed by an unusually
large congregation, many of whom
were drawn to church on account of
the anticipated event. Prof Dun.
can has been first assistant at the
orphan asylum during the past
session and is well known In the
nation. His bride is quite young
barely 16-and niece of Hon.
E. w. Burlington of Flint district,
and exceedingly pretty.
W. II. Mapes. an old man per.
haps 55 years Of age, on last Sun
day evening shot Fayette Whit
tington, one of Mapes' neighbours
boys, only IA years old, and il is
thought the boy will die. Fifty
four small shot entered the boys
face and breast from a double.
barrel shot gun in the hands of the
old man. 1. appears that trouble
had come up between Mapes and
the Whittingtons, all of whom are
ron-citizen whites living on Barren
Fork, east of here, over some hogs.
Sund.y evening Mapes saw young
Wilmington throwing stones at his
hogs and he got down his gun
and deliberately shot the boy.
DR.. r. L. Fite attended the boy,
but he thinks he cannot recover.
The old man was arrested by
deputy Lee Wyly and taken
to Fort Smith. The prisoner re-
fused to talk of the affair and
did not seem in the least disturbed
over his situation.

PensIons and Insnrance.

1t would be interesting to know
how many pensioners have taken
out life insurance policies under
false pretense during the past 25
years. A case has come to light
in Boston which il is safe to say is
not an isolated one. A brawny
and opulent citizen Of that town
applied for $40, 600 additional in
surance on his life, filling out the
customary blank. His answers
showed him to bewhat the COM
panies called a first class risk. But
before the contract was consum-
mated the agent learned in some
way that he was drawing sl2 q
month from the government for
disabilities received in the afmy
and asked him how he could con-
sistently make the general state
ment TO the company that he was
in sound bodily health. The mus
cular recipient Of Uncle Sans
bounty tried to squirln out OF il
by saying that he was granted the
pension through the influence Of
an attorney who had given him
some papers to fill out, and that
he did't consider that he had done
anything wrong, as everybody that
could do so got a pension. The
explanation was unsatisfactory TO
the company, which declined the
risk, refusing TO take the simple
word of man who had peJured
himself for a paltry sl44 year. -

Quick Work,

On Monday of this week two
young men giving their names as
James aud John Bent arrived in
town with two good mares and
two saddles. They traded the
mares to a stranger for couple of
ponies and an old watch. They
then sold the ponies to Frank
Hemstreet for sl0. About this
time Marshal Gill and Constable
Jones became suspicious and con.
cluded to arrest the Bents, who by
this time had left the town. The
officers oyerhauled them just north
Of town, however, and brought
them back and locked 'em up.
Cards describing the mares and
saddles were printed at this Office
Monday night and mailed. On
Tuesday aftertnoon Marshal Gill
received a telegram from Sheriff
Akirs Of Newton county, Nor
stating that he wanted the men,
mares and saddles and that he
would send after them. AT mid
night Tuesday night the owners of
the saddles together with deputy
sheriff from Newton county, arriy-
ed in town, got the men and sad
dies and left for Neosho on the
early morning train. The mares
were sent for, they having been
taken to Chetopa by the parties
who got them from the Bents. The
mares and saddles wers stolen in
Neosho sometime after midnight

Convention Arrangements.

BEATIEs PRAIRIE. G. n. May 18th.
To the members of the Downing
party of Delaware district, G. n.
At mass meeting of the men,
bers of the Downing party at the
court house in Delaware district,
G. N, on the fourth Monday in
April last, it was agreed that we
hold primary conventions at the
various precincts on June 2Sth and
that the general conventions, one
each side of Grand river, be held
on the next day, the 29th. The
convention for the east side meets
at Muskrat's spring and for the
west side at Alton. Each pre-
cinct was to have one delegate for
each fifteen Downing votes or
majority fraction thereof, cast for
chief at the election in 1891. In
case the precinct did not have fif-
teen Downing votes it was to be
entitled to one delegate anyway.
The number of votes has hereto
fore been published so that there
can be no misunderstanding as to
representation. The precincts are,
under the rule adopted, entitled to
the following number of delega ties:
Vinita 6; Johnson Thompson,
( (Ketchum), 5; Timber Hill, i;
Ballard, /; Alton, 2; Fairland, 8;
Court House, 3; Cave Spring, /;
Charles Thompson, 1; Taylor, 3;
Did Beck, 3; New Town, 1.
have noticed that there is a
reported change of time tor hold
ing the conventions. While it
might be inconvenient for many,
yet it was agreed to and the infor-
nation of change of time might not
reach the voters; the primaries will
be held June 28th and the general
conventions June 29th.
Respectfully,
j r. HASTINGS,
Head Captain, Delaware Dist.

TIE HARDEsT BLOW YET.

The Cherokee nation has with
stood the onslaught of enemies
and the perfidy of friends with a
fortitude and an equanimity that is
truly noble and grand, but it is
now called upon to undergo tne
supreme test of its strength ind
efficiency. 1t has been predicted
for years that dissolution of tribal
government was imminent-that
the nation was nearing the rapids
Of statehood-but it was reserved
for the venerable reformer that now
warns the editorial chair of the
Cherokee Champion to inform the
Cherokees that their time had
really come; that they we're not in
the rapids but had reached the
falls and a long and strong pull
would alone save the cold hulk'
from going over. NJ. Frazee has
at last struck his gait; he has risen
to his full height; he has taken up,
the slack Of mis- pantaloons and with
one long, deep and awful breath,
"Save the wrsckagel" he shouts;
then follows something about Bob
Ross being administrator for tha
nation.
The Cherokees have taken many
an insult but this caps the climax.
They have had many trials but
this is the hardest to bear of them
all. They have had many an un-
kind cut but this is the "unkindest
cut of all. "
Aisop, in one of his immortal
fables, tells of an old lion, dying
OF decrepit age and disease. All
kinds of animals had satiated their
'ire by abusing and tearing the
noble king Of beasts in every con-
oeivable way, all Of which he had
borne with that patience and iorti-
tude that became one SO great as
himself. But by and by an ass
came along and seeing the hons
helpless condition, threw his
heels into his face with great vigor.
Whereupon the lion in last agon-
iEing and expiring breath cxclaim-
sdl ~ am ready to die; / have
wiihstood the rayages Of all other
beasts bul when this long-eared
anonsles thus insults me / am
foady ~ de-
