his victory over the halfbrced and non

able attorneys TO take advantage of every
legal remedy TO prevent the United States
from violating is treaties with the Creek
nation. The principal objection to the
treaty is that IL does not give the Greeks

Creek nation and leaves too much room

takes effect Jan. /, 1898, abUlishcs the

rejected, was one of five which it is the

stone quarry. was in his pocket with q
knife, top and marbles and a quantity OF
other things common to boys pockets
In getting into his seat the boy banged
his dangerous collection against the desk,
causing an explosion which will probably
cost his life and which was heard for two
blocks. The child's right hand was blown
off and his right groin WAS lacerated in
such manner that he cannot recover. A
little girl standing by had her skirts torn
into shreds, but she was not hurt. The

floor near the entrance to the back room.
Elmer Smith, son of Rev. c. II. Smith
OF the Phenix Methodist Church was
standing at the door, and no said that
he thought Mr.. Deane asleep and he could
not awake him. AS Miss Tyler was in a
hurry. she went across the street to the
grocery store OF Col. Philip Duffy, and
asked Hiss Mary Duffy, who sometimes
acted as clerk in Mr.. Deanes store. to
get ner shoes for her. Miss Duffy went to
the store and saw at once that something
was wrong and Immediately notified Mr..
Deane's son, who also had shoe store in
the same building.
He at once went to the store and found
his father stretched out on the floor be-
tween his desk and the entrance to the
back room, and apparently lifeless. DR.
A. ii. Petit was summoned, and was at
the store In few minutes. but q short
examination convinced him that his SER
vices were not needed, and that Mr..
Deaue had probably been dead for some
time.
Medical Examiner Fiheld was called
and reached the store about q O'Clock. but
in the m santime a crowd had gathered in
front and all kinds OF stories as to the
circumstances attending Mr.. Deane's
death were atloat. After short examina-
tion Dr. Fitlcld decided that death had re-
suited from natural causes and an inquest
would be unnecessary. The body was

Mr. Deane was in his eighty second
year but in spite Of his age was appar-
rently in the best OF health and as spry as
a boy. lie has foi many years been engaged
in tho boot and shoe business in Phenix
and was one of tho most bustling and
progressive business men in the village
In the forenoon he was in the best of
spirits and in one OF the neighboring
stores talked of the days OF his youth and
showed the proprietor some of the holds
which were used by the champion wrest-
lers in his day.
Early in the afternoon as funeral pro-
cession was passing his store be talked
with James Ward who occupies the ad-
joining store of the numb ber of deaths in
the valley and the mutabiity of human
affairs, little thinking of his own near and
sudden end. Mr.. Deane was twice mar
ricd and he leaves widow and three sons
by his first wife to mourn his loss. His
death has cast n gloom over the commun-
ity where no was highly respected and a
favorite with both old and young.
