IT appears to us that the Paris
court has lost all sense of justice
and instead of using its good Off
cies to bring criminals to justice.
it is turning them lose to prey on
their personal enemies. VIM.
Colbert (colored) is under indict-
ment in that court for murder and
in the Indian Territory court for
larceny. While he is out on bond
he is travelling as deputy mar
shal and making wholesale arrests
among his supposed personal
enemies or those who have testified
and are expecting to testify against
him in these eases. We are in
formed that most of these arrests
are made on complaints sworn out
by Colbert himself; and whether
they are guilty or not, it appears
to us to be very strange that the
witnesses who testified against
Colbert are the only guilty ones.
This looks peculiar to say the least
of it, and a court with as much
responsibility resting on its
shoulders as the Paris court has,
should not be a party to such a
proceeding. We will not say that
Colbert is doing all this arresting
from personal spite, because it
might turn out that some of these
parties are guilty. but it is an ex-
traordinary thing for so many of a
mans personal enemies to become
guilty of some heinOus crimes at
one and the same time and that he
should have the great good fortune
to be delegated to arrest them;
and do so with such speedy re-
luctance as Bill is doing. g.-Indian
Citizen.

THEY PURCHASE DEFEAT.

we or the Indian IerrltOry
nearly two thousand miles from
Washington sometimes give way
to wondering how it is that our
prospects for legislation appear
bright until the proposed measures
are put to the crucial test of final
action, when so far, they have
invariably fallen fiat with a Sicken-
ing thud, so to speak. OF course
there is always reason some
where for this sudden change of
sentiment of the members of con-
greSs who all at once become such
warm friends to the Indian tribes.
1t is most likely the following
statement taken from the Kansas
City Journals Washington col
respondent in speaking of the de-
feat of the Platt amendment will
throw some light on the situation.
Representative Little makes
the broad statement that within
the past week $40, 900 has been
brought here by the gangsters to
apply to the contest before the
senate today. The statement of
Mr.. Platt on the floor of the senate
and the information given out by
Mr.. Little should be given by way
of covering the exact situation -
In connection with the above
statement from Mr.. Little the
same correspondent quotes Senator
Platt in the discussion of his pro-
posed amendment to the Indian
appropriation bill as saying.
Never in the seventeen years
that | have bee a member of the
senate has there ever been such a
fund of money raised to defeat
Legislation as has been raised on
this question to control legisla-
ton. The money the United
States pays the tribes goes into the
hands of corrupt officials of the
tribes, who divert it from the In
dianS, do not give it to them, but
bring it here to defeat legislation
to protect these same corrupt
officials in their present position
The land grabbers and legislation
corrupters are here today and have
been this session. demanding to bC
let alone. "
As to the defeat of the Plat
amendment the ABDMoREIrE has
no words of regret It is tn,
alleged methods used that we con
deIhn.
When it comes to the pass thai
the Indian lobby can take $40. 200
or any other amount of money aut
defeat legislation by its corruptinG
influence there is but little hop,
left for our people until they adopt
similar tactics. We are in reality
glad of the defeat of this particu-
lar proposition but the same dan.
ger awaits the Curtis compromis,
bill when it comes up for action
unless the Indian lobby bankrupti
their country before that tim,
arrives.

wOMAN's WRATH.
Miss Laura White Seeks Redress for
Alleged Wrongs on Druggist y. b.
Lynn-Uses a Buggy whip.

Yesterday evening about O'Clock
one of those highly sensational and
unfortunate episodes that the ARD
MoREITE finds no pleasure in record
ing, took place in the drug store of
Coleman 4 Lynn.
IL was an assault on Y. B. Lynn
with a buggy whip in the hands of
Miss Laura White.
AS is always the case, there are
two sides to the affair but as far as
could be learned the undisputed
facts were as follows:
Miss White boarded at Mr.. Lynns
and on Friday he missed 4 sum of
money which he suspicioned the
young lady with having taken.
Acting on this suspicion he yesterday
swore out a search warrant and had
same placed in the hands of Con-
stable Bruce Hin to serve.
This fact so enraged Miss Laura
that she at once vowed revenge, and
in order to carry out her deter.nina-
ton, she went to a saddlery store
and purchased long, keen buggy
whip and proceeded 10 Mr.. Lynn's
place Of business.
Entering the store, she called for
the object of her wrath, and without
warning began 10 apply the lash.
Naturally, Mr.. Lynn objected, and
endeavorej 10 protect himself.
Messrs. Trester, Bruce Hill and DR..
Booth, realizing the gravity of the
situation, in.cTfered and with much
difficulty succeeded in separating the
frantic woman and the, by this time,
highly cnraged man.
Messrs. Trester and Hill, in their
intercession for peace, each received
slight blows from the whip.
The witnesses to the affair differ rs
to the extent of blows struck on Mr.
Lynn, and some say - warlcd them
all on.
The search of Miss Whites effects
by Constable lIiH failed to fasjen the
gull, on her She has lived in Ard
more number of years, and rs far
as known, has always born a good
reputation.
On the other hand, Mr.. Lynn is one
Of Ardmore's most highly esteemed
business men, whom il is hard TO be-
licve would do any one, much less a
lady, willrul or malicious injury. In
suspicioning Miss White Of the theft
OF his money and taking the positive
action whice he did, he may have
acted hastily, but of this the ARD
MoREITE viii not Judge.
/ The young lady likewise acted has
tily in taking the law into her own
hands, thus laying herself liable 10
prosecution and publishing to the
world her awkward position.
The ARDIoREITE trusts there will
be no further hostilitics. which could
only result in additional notoriety
without accomplishing any good.
