you were tied with chains that an angle
released YOU?
IF you would call my wife an angel,
that is a fact. When I was taken out
into the woods and tied there my wife
hunted up a lawyer and both together
were the angels that released me. You
see, was agitating. through my paper,
the David Progress, the allotment Of
lands in severalty 10 the Indians IN the
Cherokee nation and that was the cause
of the enmity of the white Indians"
towards me. They took me out in the
woods and tried TO make me abandon
the agitation for allotments through
persecution. They tied me 10 trees and
in other ways tortured me. but would
not promise them 10 abandon what I
believed TO be right. I was nearly dead
from exhaustion when my wife and her
attorney found me-"
How was your allotment agitation
ended?"
I'VE will get the allotments all right,
surrounding the city Of David In the
strip we got only so acres in an allOt-
ment; in the nation the allotments VIII
be $50 acres each. The surveyors are
now mapping out the counties and other
corps are behind them mapping out the
townships. David City IS in the middle
of our county, twenty miles away from
any other town and il is bound 10 be
the county seat. When il is I viii then
build that temple of worship. At pres
ent we are burning brick 10 build the
vault of a new bank"

Colonel A. ]. Blackwell, squaw-man,
temple-builder and Prophet of God, was
in the city last night.
Colonel Blackwell has been down al
the city bearing his name, in the Chero-
kee strip for two week and was earoute
home to David, Cherokee nation, when
he stopped off in Wichita.
The colonel is a distinguished look
ing man when he is as we'll dressed as
he was last night. He wore silg tile
that was strictly up-to-date, I'm de seicle
clothes and his rich brown, flowing
beard was combed and trimmed in
faultless manner. To be brief the col
onel looked as sleek and silken as
United States senator. He is prophet
and a very devout man by reputation,
and yet there is that peculiar and bril-
liant twinkle in his eye that neither
denote any great degree of prophecy OF
depth of religious feeling. God help
the heart of the little widow that those
eyes would fall on if the colonel had not
been a married man.
When reporter for the Eagle :boned
him for an interview the colonel took
from his vest pocket a pearly set Of
teeth, inserted them in his mouth, cock
ed his feet up on the reporters table
and was ready for the interview be-
fore the interviewer was.

HUNTING FOR A DEAD MAN
He Turns Up Alive and scares Doc h elIey
Almost to Death

1t was reported yesterday that Dave
Beatty, colored, had been killed and
that his body at that time was being
consumed by the fish Of the Little river.
Chief Burt and a reporter for the
Eagle started out upon tour of inyesti-
cation yesterday just as the rain began
10 descend. They visited the water
works where it was learned that the
man had been missing since Wednes-
day and that his hat was found on the
banks OF the river with brick in it,
The hat was found and then a visit
was made to the mans house. Here Z
was found that nothing had been seen
or heard and it was felt 10 be a certain
ty that the man was in the spirit world
His effects were taken to a neighbOrs
and the search was kept up. DR.. Rose
was on his mettle and a sensational de-
velopment was certain when all at
once Doc Kelley who was standing by
singing the praise of Beatty. turned as
white as a sheet and pointing mis- index
finger in the direction of the Occidental
hotel. Beatty was seen walking as big
as life. He ghost" said Doc But
Beatty objected, and explained that he
had been absent attending TO a sick
man.
The hat could not be explained and
the police now believe that some one has
been hurt. The hat is new one and is
marked So.

and told him he had his record since
the time he had been released from the
