Admiration of Negroes to Creek Nation
Declared Unconstitutional.
Perry, o. T., Aug. 10.-The final
deroee has been promulgated from
Okmulgee, capital of the Creek nation,
as it had been handed down by Judge
Adams, chief justice of the supreme
court of the nation, in the citizenship
case. 1t strikes from the rolls of citi-
zenship of the nation the names of over
ZOO negroes.
The decision held that the action of
the emancipation act by the United
States, in admitting the negroes to
tribal relations, was unconstitutional,
and, therefore, at this time invalid.
Since the passage of the act these me-
groes have drawn in annuities 81, 600, :
900 from the Creek government, and
have improved their farms, and have
educated their children at the nation 9
expense for twenty years. From the
decision of the court there is no appeal.
The interior department has held to
the same opinion in similar case.
The Dawes commission, which has been
appealed to by the deposed negroes,
claims it has no right to interfere with
the decision of the Indian court.

The contest case has been ON trial

ment that it was discovered that the
vote of four precincts, that gave ma
jorities for Orr. had been stolen from
the city vaults. The court, however,
went ahead with the count of the other
ballots, taking the figures of the miss
ing ballots from the returns.

2,620 and Fawcett 1880 votes, includ-
ing the four stolen precincts, the official
returns Of which were counted. Four
disputed votes which were counted for
Orr, gave him total of 2,624, and

Alleged Facts in the Brown 0verman
Case Related by Mrs. Tunnel.
San Francisco, Aug. 10. After
many months of waiting and of eva

town in California and across the
southern border, Mrs. NJ. F. Tunnell
has consented to tell the story of her
relations with the Rev. G. O. Brown
and Matte Overman, and to explain
why she fled at the very moment when
her presence was needed to dispel the
shadows of scandal, or to condemn
the pastor who was seriously accused.
Mrs Tunnel is the last witness to
speak, and as far as facts are con-
cerned, the testimony she gives closes
the great case.
She explains the important points
upon which the clerical judges of DIR.
Brown were in doubt She removes
the elements of uncertainty that made
the ecclesiastical court hesitate before

demnation. She fled from San Fran.
cisco, she said, to shield DIR. Brown
from the consequences of his own guilt.
She says she knew of the love between
Matte Oyerman and the pastor, and
would have revealed her knowledge if
she had been summoned to the witness
stand.
She says that DR.. Brown paid her
expenses while she was away, and
when she returned, tried to induce her
to go to Central America. She tells
when and where she received the
famous letters from Matte Overman,
and for the first time explains how they
passed from her possession into the
keeping of a man who allowed them to
be published.
She traces in detail the career of
Matte Oyerman and she came to know
II through the condolences of her young
friend. The recital lifts the veil from
the home of the unfrocked pastor, and
shows how he struggled to save his
pulpit and his good name.
