SHOT BY OUTLAWS.
Cherokee Family Attacked by Two
of the French Gang.

MUSKOGEE. 1. r.. Jan. 16.-Another
crime is laid at the door of the French
gang of outlaws. Last night, Will French.
the leader, and Samuel McWilliams. one
of the most desperate men of the gang, APP
peared in the house of Mr.. Glad, ten miles
out from Fort Gibson. They demanded adj
mittance and because Glad did not respond
quick enough to suit them they began
shooting from their Winchesters into the
house. Two of the bullets struck Glad in
the arm, fracturing it, and two more caught
Mrs. Glad just above the elbow, severing
her arm. During the melee, a daughter of
the old folks to make her es-
cape. Before she had reached twenty feet
from the house she sank to the ground with
two bullets from the outlaws Wholesalers
in her body. The outlaws now. apparently
satisfied with their work, quietly rode
away. The Glad family are inoffepsive
Cherokees. All are seriously wounded. The
night before French and McWliliams held
up a store at Fort Gibson, getting a small
amount of cash and some clothing. and
the same night they attempted to rob the
Fort Gibson and T%ahiequah stage, but We're
scared away. officers are organizing to
capture the outlaws.

and secure. and the event is one efecEing
only the administration Of the government
and not the government itself. 1t is no new
thing for Presidents of France 20 resign.
All of them, with the exception of CaTnot,
who was assassinated, resigned President
signed, President Grevy resigned. 1t is not
surprising, therefore, that President Cast
should resign, although his res
ignation is most unexpected. The French
system is SO entirely different from that OF
the United States that no comparison Guild
be made between the Presidents position.
The French President selects his Cabinet
from the majority and when there Is a
change in the majority there is a change in
the Cabinet. The President himself has but
very limited powers, far short OF those of
the President of the United states. in this
country the constitutional system is such
that there need not be complete agreement
between the Cabinet and the legislative
branches The Cabinet may have one view
On an important public issue End Congress
may have a view directly TO the contrary.
But in France the Cabinet is responsive TO
The legislative branch and the president as
a part OF the abine of the times fellows
their changes. The present change is due
entirely to a question of domestic ir port
ance which has no interest or effect be-
yond the borders of France. SO that the
results of the resignation will have no sig
nif1cance outside of France. And even there,
as l nave said. it will effect only the ma
chfnery of government"
Nj. Patantore was asked as to the probd-

He could undoubtedly be se-eiec1ed if he

Rocheforcs Opinion.

LONDON, Jan. I'm. Henry Rochefort,
the exiled editor of the radical Intransi-
gent, is quoted as saying. in an interview,
that the real cause of the Presidents res
ignation was the election to the Chamber
of Deputies of II. Gerault-Richard, after
the latter had been sentenced to a years
Imprisonment and TO a fine for insulting
NJ. Casinir-Perier in an article published
in LIE Chomard. NJ. Rochefort adds that had
NJ. Gerault-R.chard been released by order
of the Chamber of Deputies. they would
have retired from Office Immediately. Con-
t;nuing, NJ. Rochefort said: The present
situation is a great triumph for the So
cialists, because it is owing to them that
M. Gerault-Richard was elected. 1t is be-
Heved that the chances are in favor of NJ.
Waldeck-Rosseau being elected President
to succeed III. Casimir-Perier. The can
didacy of General Rassieur cannot, in my
opinion, be regarded as serious, and the
views of NJ. Brisson are too advanced for
him to have a chance of election by the
National Congress as at present consti-
fute1'

ciety organized.

tive body of farmers from different parts

closer relations with the national and State
departments of agriculture and the expert
ment stations, TO provide for farmers read
ing course of study; to provide for the dis
tribution of literature which will lead to n
better citizenship, to a more profound and
practical knowledge of agriculture and a.
more thorough understanding of the ques-
lions relating to good government, legisla..
ton, the laws of trade and the relation or
agriculture 10 other pursuits: and to pro-
mote such other objects as the federation
may deem best accomplished by a general
cooperative movement.
The following officers were elected: Pres
ident, j. b. Furrow. Iowa: vice president.
f. II. Palmer, illinois,; secretary, Milton
George. Chicago; treasurer. w. r. Hostel
ter, Illinois. The organization is to be nom
political and nonsecret.
