that Yankton county alone can con-

>YANCEY UNDER THE BAN.

Society of "Ca-Too-Ahs" Said to BE After
His Scalp.
SOUTH MCALIsTER, Oct. 19.-It is
rumored that United States Commits
sioner David w. Yancey of Tahlequah,
in the Cherokee country, has been
spotted" by the society of Indian
criminals known as the "Ca- Too-Ah
which has for long time been the
terror Of all law-abiding and especially
law-enforcing people of that country.
To an Associated Press representative
Commissioner Yancey denied any
knowledge Of the matter, and says he
feels certain that the society, whose ex-
isteuce he doubts, has no member who
could justly charge him with improper
or excessive prosecution or punishment,
which apparently is the cause for CON-
plant. It is believed to have been one
of the "Ca-Too-Ahs'' members who
assasinated Thomas H. Madden of
Braggs Station, about six months ago.

to Chicago and submitted it's report at
the meeting of the assembly. The re-
port was adopted by an almost unani-
nous vote, only two members speaking
in. opposition to it. The delegates
claimed in submitting their report that
they carried out their mission in an un-
biased and non-partisan manner, and
they simply pictured the low state of
the working classes as it was, without
reference to political questions. There
were many CALCULATIONS of astonish-
ment at the pitiable pictures presented,
and the motion to adopt the report
called forth but little debate.
