ACCUSED OF FRAUD,
Suburban Lots Snfd to Have Been Sold
to Several Parties Mt Once.


to Several Parties Mt Once.
William A. Murray of the Agricultural
Department today. through Fulton and
towards, attorneys, filed civil action in
the Supreme Court of the District against
Hannah L. Kelly of 1853 P street northwest
and James Madigan for breach of contract
and to compel them to refund certain
money claimed to have been paid in part
for certain small lots in Miss Kellys sub
division of College Park, Nd.
According to the bill the lots in question
were sold by Howard F. Johnson of 1916
l'{h street northwest, said to be Miss KEEL
lyS sole agent and manager, and whom
Murray accuses of false representations
and fraudulently attempting to declare his
tMurray's} contract void, and all the pay
ments made thereon, amounting to SIG, for
feited, because the defendants cannot de.
liver the lots sold by johnson.
johnson is also accused in the bill of COM
Paint Of having sold the same lot to several
Inherent people, and of collecting money
from them severally on the same lot at the
same same, time E: The full price of the lots in
question. it Is stated, Is $3.50 each, of which
SlOO is supposed TO go to Miss Kelly for the
property, and the balance of the first money
collected on each lot is retained by Johnson
as his commission.
In his bill Murray declares that Johnson
Is a siduous in his collections and attentions
upon the purchasers of lots until he has
collected nearly the full amount of his COM
missions. when his calls relax and then he
keeps out of the way until the purchaser is
more than four weeks in arrears, when, &C.
ccrding to the terms of the contract, he is
empowered to declare the lots and all the
money paid thereon forfeited.
In the present case Mr.. Murray has not
been In arrears, he says, and has several
times offered the money due on his lots to
Johnson, which he Gohnson) has persistent
ly refused to accept, under various preteXts
until more than the required four weeks had
elapsed. sp
Murray AYERS that Johnson told him that
one of his Murrays) lots had been sold in
March last to James Madigan of George
town, who Is also made defendant to this
suit Murray claims that this was done in
anticipation of the forfeiture of his lots,
which Johnson intended to effect
In conclusion, the complainant prays that
Miss Kelly may be restrained from eXecut-
ing any deed to the lots in question, pending
the settlement of the suit.

A Horse Strangely Killed.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
Electrocution in a novel manner wound
up the earthly career Of Sam, the big bay
horse at fire department No. /, in Ander-
son, Ind, this morning. The electric light
wires. cased IN wood. covered with tin,
run down the side Of his stall. The fire.
men have touched the coverings almost
nightly in getting down the horses beds.
This morning Sam was found stretched out
on the floor. Investigation proved that he
had hit one Of the nails with his hoof in
the evening. and 1t had bent and passed
through the central part of the wood cas-
ing, puncturing the insulation. and the
point lodging against the live wire. This
charged the tin. When he lay down his
ear fell over against the tin. His body
lay on the damp straw and over the cess
pool. which made connections with tht

From the Philadelphia Record.
There is young lady in this city whose
father is wealthy hotel keeper and from
whom she inherits love for cats and dogs.
In her home, In West Philadelphia, there
are fully twenty cats and just as great a
variety of dogs. One Of the strangest sights
in West Philadelphia on a pleasant after
Icon is to see the young lady in question
take her favorite pets out for an airing
The. pair consists of thoroughbred bull
dog and genuine Maltese cat. Usually
they are chained together and 1t is a beau
tiful sight to see the tender solicitude with
which the big dog watches over the safety
of it's li.tle companion. If a strange dog
should happen along and make a dash at
pussy she doesn't seem to have the least
fear. She runs beneath the big bulldog,
and instead of arching her back after the
fashion of the feline race, purs softly and
contentedly. The strange dog never cares
to come too near.

An Important Decision.

At the regular term of the circuit
court of Tahlequah district, C. n
Sept. 9Th, 1895, in the case of J.
B. johnson, ct al, VS.. CD Harris,
principal chief, etc:
The parties having submitted a
statement of facts in the case to
which both agree, tor a decision by
the court: Upon examination OF
the statement of facts the court
finds that it is alleged and admit
ted that plaintiffs are of Cherokee
blood and at one time owned an
improvement and lived on it in
Cooweescoowee district this nation,
and were citizens thereof, and in
1884, removed out OF the limits OF
this nation into the Usage nation,
and it is further admitted that the
wife and children are part Usage
by blood, and as such that they
participate in the per capita pay
ments of money made among the
Usage people, and that J. b. John
son himself, drew money at the
strip" payment among the Cher
okee people.
1t is evident to the court that
the wife being of elective age has
preferred being a citizen of the
Usage nation to that of being a
citizen of the Cherokee nation and
in the exercise of that right of
choice, she has identified herself
with the Usage people. and become
a recognized citizen thereof, there
by has forfeited all rights of citi-
zenship in this nation, as the
court holds that the wife in this
case. being of Cherokee and Usage
blood both cannot hold and exer-
else the citizenship in the Chero-
kee and Usage nation both at the
same time. She must identify
herself with the one or the other.
As to the rights of such children
as J. B. and Julia NJ. johnson
might have had born to them pri-
or to their removal to the Usage
nation, being natural born citizens
of this nation by virtue of their
Cherokee blood, remain unim-
paired. They being minors, and
their right of citizenship in this
nation being vested by the consti-
tuition and laws of this nation,
the mere fact of their mother hav-
ing taken them with her when she
went to the Usage nation, does not

more money, but if they carry it
through the supreme court as they
are trying they will get s25, 900
more. If we can compromise as it
is now they are loser that much
and we will get it as they know.
c. J. Harris promised to pay us
the deficiency without a law suit,
if we can come to some agreement
Now which is the best: go ahead
with a law suit that is likely to
hang for five or ten years-perhaps
forty years-than to stop where it
is and get all of your money. If
the Cherokees feel like giving you
all of your rights and stop all law
suits, whose business is it? | feel
that if our attorneys were true 10
us they would advise us to take
such steps rather than to urge Us
to keep fighting. The chief favOrs

their descendants just what we ask
all We are entitled to and wis
dom would say, take it without

When Tears Are Dangerous.

NJ. S. Gregory, sheriff of Amador,
was telling some friends the other
evening about a pluclsy deputy, and
wound up by saying: when you find
a man as cool and steady as a rock in
the face of danger you can bet on him.
But the most dangerous men are those
who laugh or cry when they have a
dispute on hand. knew a man named
Drew, down In Texas, who was noted
as very bad man. When he was do
ing any shooting he would laugh loud
ly-a hard, demoniacal laugh, without
any merriment in It. Up at Indian
Diggings, many years ago, two men
named Archer and Fawson had a dis
pute with a German about a claim.
When they claimed the property he
broke down and cried, and they, sup
posing they would have no trouble in
taking possession, marched on the
ground. The German took up a
broken pick and laid them both out.
Archer was badly hurt, and was q
long time getting over his injuries.
After that whenever he saw a man
start to cry he got out of the way

Rights of Whites Defined.

Judge C. B. Kilgore of the
southern district OF the Indian
Territory began the first term OF
the new court yesterday with the
following charge to the grand jury
concerning the recent methods the
Indian police used in collecting
the per cent intruder's tax here:
"The citizens of the United States
are in the Indian territory by suf-
ferance, by permission in the nature
of mild invitation. The treaty of
1866 under which the United States
was authorized to establish courts
in the territory by sufferance, by
permission in the nature of mild
invitation. The treaty of 1866 un-
der which the United States was
authorized to establish courts in
the territory for the protection of
her citizens was negotiated on the
theory that there would be people
here entitled to the protection of
the United States government. 1t
amounted to an invitation for them
to settle here and they are here,
most OF them having paid for the
permission to engage in business
The Chickasaw nation has the ex-
elusive right TO impose terms ON
people who come here TO 90 into
business and has the exclusive
right to levy and collect all reason
able taxes on such persons and
their business. 1t can remove per-
sons from the territory who do not
comply with such reasonable regu-
lations. But it cannot in its effort
to collect taxes from persons in de-
fault use more force than is neces-
sary to vindicate the law. Its
agents and employees cannot on the
pretext of collecting its revenues
resolve themselves into a drunken
mob and insult women and help
less men and terrorize the COM
munity with winchesters and pis-
tolls They have no right to so
conduct themselves, as to frighten
the peaceable and law abiding peo-
pie of the town who are pursuing
their vocations under authority
from the Chickasaw nation. | ap-
prehend the government of the
United States will see that her
citizens are afforded protection
from such outbreaks. 1t is the
duty of the grand jury to make
thorough and impartial investiga-
ton of the charges which are made
againt the employees of the nation
in the premises.
