JOY IN WILLIAMS, FAMILY.
Fo&Ref so HHsxand Supposed to BE
Buried TURNS Up Alive.


Durfed TURNS Up Alive.
A special dispateh from Columbus. Ohio,
yesterday says: A family reunion attend
ed BY many strange and romantic features
viii be held in this city tomorrow. James
Williams, who has long been mourned as
dead by wife and children. is coming home,
and after he is affectionately greeted and
welcomed by his family they will endeavor
to establish, n possible. the identity of
the stranger who was mistaken for Will
Hams and now lies in the family burying
lot in this city
Several years ago James Williams was a
tailor and renovator in this city and had a
splendid trade. He had an interesting
family and was seemingly very happy. He
was stricken with a mental disorder and
was forced to abandon his business and
seek treatment. He had been a soldier and
he secured admittance into the National
Soldiers Home at Washington, ID. c. He
made several trips home. the last one being
in April. Shortly after his return he was
taken i'll and then came telegram an
nouncing his death. The news almost
Frustrated his family. Mrs. Williams ask
ed TO have the remains sent home. and
when they arrived they were met by sor-
fowfui relatives ana borne to the house
The wife remarked that the features of
the CORPSE did not resemble those of her
husband, but thinking illness had changed
his looks, she said no more about it. She
ordered an expensive coffin and a suit of
black broadcloth for the remains and they
were laid away in the family lot in Green
lawn cemetery. Day after day Mrs. Will
liams and the children visited the grave
and spread flowers upon the mound. Yes
terday came a letter from Williams in his
own handwriting from Washington, an
rcuncfpg that he was alive and hearty and
would return to Columbus Monday. He did
hot make mention of the sending of the
strangers body. and it IS probable that he
has no knowledge of the facts.
The family was overjoyed to hear the
news. but one thing seems to worry The
wife, and that is the money she spent on
the funeral of the stranger and also the
fact that he occupies a narrow house in
her family lot. She spent nearly 500 or
more in tie funeral preparations and she
wants to get her money hack and she don't
know Row to go about it. She is thinking
of disinterring the strangers body and
shipping it back to the nome iii Washing
ton. This will probably be done Mon lay
Tuesday.

Do NOT LOOK FOR BLOODSHED.
Views of OmcinIs of the Indian
Office.

Officials of the Indian Office do not give
any serious consideration to the report from
Chelsea. /. T., of the threat of tribal war
made by the Koetoowa Society of full
blood Cherokees on account of the con:em-
plated reform for which the Dawes COM
mission are negotiating.
The members of the society, who are in
tensely hostile to any change whatever in
the present organization of the nation, are
said to have threatened personal damage
to the members of the Cherokee commits
sion, who are to resume the negotiations
with the Dawes commission September l.
in case they make an agreement. Indian
officials say that they realize that there
are bitter feelings among the ull-bloods
against allotments, and any changes in
the tribal government, but do not antici-
pate there will be any resort to violence on
account of the forcble methods of the
government.
