UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

the supreme court of the United Ststes to

numper-two from New York, In which
stockholders of the Farmers Loan and
Trust company and the Continental Trust

directors OF those corporations from volun-
tarily complying with the provisions Of the
bia, In which John G. Moore, New York
broker, sues for an Injunction to restrain

M. Wilson and Clarence A. Seward in OPP
position to the law, and Hon. James Z.

Line left this evening for Norfolk, Va.
for the purpose OF meeting Vice. President

Peter Blackfsh it appears from
the subjoined item from the Che
topa Democrat, has been ''touch-
ed::" One of our bootleggers
worked an Indian named Black6sh
last Saturday in fine style The
Indian went to the bootlegger to
get a pint of whiskey. He got the
liquor and rut it in his pocket aud
gave the fellow a s5 bill who calm
ly put it in his pocket. The In
dian waited a moment and then
asked for his change The fellow
quietly informed him that he had
no change coming, that he bad
only given him a s1.00 bill. The
Indian insisted that it was $500
bill. The fellow went down in his
pocket and produced a s1.OO and
told the Indian that was the bill he
had received from him. The In
dian protested, and the bootlegger
finally told him to take his money
and the whiskey too and get out.
The Indian took his doll and the
whiskey and went up the street
to look for the marshal. But when
they returned the fellow had hid
out. The Indian says that he is
positive that the bill he gave the
fellow was a $500 bill, as he had
tried to get it changed before going
to get the whiskey.

A farmer a few days ago was
taking his dinner at a restaurant
in our city, accompanied by his
hired hand. After the latter fin
ished his dinner and passed out
the farmer discoursed as follows:
THAT hired hand came to me
dead broke last spring. | have
paid him S14 month. He now
owns a new wagon, new set of har-
ness and fair team of horses, and
proposes next year to rent farm
and work for himself | have Of
fered to pay him SIG a month for
the coming season. | would rath-
er have him than any man | know
of. He worked for me just as he
would for himself, and made my
interests his own. Whenever |
was away from home | knew
everything would go along all right
and be carefully attended to-"
The remarks of the farmer illus
trates an old truth that man is,
nine chances out of ten, the arch
itect of his own fortune. In a few
years that man will own a farm,
no matter which party runs the
government or how much "vicIous
legislaiion''is enacted by either

E. G.. Toilet, Jr., U. S. COM
missioner at Tulsa, now on a visit
with his family to their old home
in Tennessee, had a thrilling ex-
perience some days since. In as
cending a mountain by a narrow
road they heard runaway team
coming down. There being no
opportunity to turn aside, Mr..
Toilet laid whip to his horse and
succeeded in reaching a point far
the- up where he was able to turn
out just as the team thundered,
past, missing his buggy by only
three or four inches.
A swell banquet was given at
South McAlester recently on the
retirement of Judge Stuart from the
bench, Judge Springer being
among the guests. Judge Stuart
made the last speech, and in clos
ing said that he was now a private
citizen and could once more ex-
press himself. This country be-
longs to the Indians and is held
by them by the most solemn treaty
rights, and these rights the gov
ernment must protect at all haz-
ards. While this is true, the sit
uation is complicated by the pres
ence of thousands of citizens
who have rights as solemnly guar
anteed to them by the constitution,
and these rights must be protected.
The interests conflict so that the
present condition cannot exist
long. 1t is not for ME to say how,
but these questions must be set
tied, and that speedily.

THE power and influence of pub
lie sentiment in an enlightened
community was never better illus
trated, perhaps, than it was at
Tahlequah last week. There is
no doubt in the world but what
the leaders OF the National party
fully intended to override the law
and the constitution, and delay
the counting of the votes for prin-
cipal and assistant chiefs indefin-
itely, and it is belieYed they also
intended 10 seat Bcb Ross as chief.
But the Downings held them TO
the law with such dogged persis-
tence that they got scared and
gave it up as bad job. The Ma
tionals knew what the decision of
public sentiment would be in the
matter and they were afraid to face
it. 1t is a mighty fine thing for
the public 10 be informed-to
see Just what it's servants are
doing.

THERE is at least one senator on
the National side at Tahlequah
who is showing that he is capable
of voting his sentiments without
the aid of the party whip being
cracked over his head, and we are
glad to say that senator lives In
Vinita and his name is E. M. Lam
drum. "Mack" is a young man
of good natural ability coupled
with a good education, and has a
future that will not oisappoint his
friends.

Bartlesville Magnet: Last Sat
urday ended trial in the Usage
nation in which there has been
considerable interest manifested
The defendant, Patsy Aired, about
seven months ago shot and killed
young man Dy the name OF
Lucky, who was supposed to be
her lover. The quarrel arose over
some corn. Lucky owed Miss
Aired s5. She forbid him to re-
move the corn until he settled the
debt. She sat in the door of the
crib with her winchester in her
hands. Lucky tried to gain an en-
trance and in the struggle that en-
sued was shot. 1t seemed at first
that Miss Aired had a hard case,
but r. j. Hill of Independence,
volunteered his service and
through his efforts Miss Aired was
acquitted after the jury had been
out about two hours.

Captain J. S. Standley who has
just returned from Washington
says that it is the general opinion
among prominent officials at that
city that the Dawes commission
will not accomplish the work for
which it was sent to the Indian
Territory. When asked what
seemed to be the opinion of Off
cials and those in a position to
know as to what congress would
do in case the commission failed,
he said there was only one opinion
and that was that congress would
take the matter in hand this WIN
ter and make whatever change they
desired independent of the action
of the Indian tribes. This is the
opinion of the officials of the In
dian department as well as other
officials and men prominent in
Washington circles. They have
quit considering the question as to
whether change will be made.
Their minds are made up on this
part of the question and they now
only consider how it shall be made.
If some favorable action is taken
by the Choctaw council the Dawes
commission will be sent back,
but if this commission makes
its final report and is discharged,
then look out for radical legislation
in congress. 1t will come as sure
as the year '95 closes and SO comes
in. 1t may not come this winter.
but nine chances out of ten it will
come in December during the
coming session of congress. Put
this copy ofthe Citizen away and
refer to it after the time is passed
and see if We are not correct
Indian Citizen.
