KNOWS NO ENGLISH
CHIEF OF TIE CREEK NATION
EASILY IMPOSED UPON.

Some Rascal Employed About the Ex-
ecutivs OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Set on
Foot by Secretary Bliss Shows This, and
fraud-Uncie Sam Has Lost Nothing. so
Far, and is Not Likely To.
Washington. Nov. 11.-Mrs. j. W.
Zeneley, OF the interior department. who
was selected by Secretary Bliss 10 make
an investigation OF the reported issue
OF fraudulent warrants by the govern
ment TO the Creek Indian nation, has
returned TO Washington after spending
about a month in the Indian Territory
making the inquiry. The investigation
made by Mr.. Zeneley establishes the
fact tnat Isparhecher, the principal
chief, has no knowledge whatever OF the
English language and that all the war
rants purporting 10 nave been issued
and signed by him were in fact issued
and signed by an under-Secretary in his
office. The investigation also developed
the fact that a number of persons had
combined together 10 defraud the gov
ernment out of large sum of money.
The warrants now known 10 be fraud
ulently issued amounted TO S93, .9S.
Mr.Zeneley says their fraudulent CHAR
acter is established by indis2utable tes-
timony. The district attorney for the
Northern district of Indian Territory
has been put in possession of all thief
facts in the case and the parties en-
gagged in the conspiracy will all Toe pros
ecuted. The department has located
about S6S,000 OF the bogus warrants in
the hands Of various persons, but does
not feel at liberty to give their names.
None Of these warrants have been paid.
The fraudulent documents are not war
rants issued upon any government de-
positary but are ordinary warrants of
the Creek government; the validity of
the remaining warrants, IN the ju1g-
ment OF the secretary of the interior, is
not sufficiently clearly established 10
warrant him IN disbursing the money
under rhis appropriation and he will re-
port the matter fully to congress in his
annual report and await further legis-
lative action.
The government of the United States
has lost nthing and the secretary says
he intends that it shall not. He express
es no opinion as TO the liability OF the
Creek government touching the fraudu
lent warrants, but proposes to see that
the Creek Indians are fully protected.

the British troops. Only the admira ble
disposition made by General Westma-
acott OF his troops saved the rearguard.
The general personally held the men to-
gether and saw all the wounded taken
away before he retired himself. On the
way back to camp the transport of the
wounded was greatly hampered by the
fact that the troops had 10 retire over
fearfuily broken country surrounded on

NOVEMBER STORE GOSSIP

Boiling cloth is combined now with
real Valenciennesedgings and insertions
in beautiful designs for bridal sets.
Velveteen in a variety of shades is
popular for gowns cut princess fashion.
The use of applique lace over miroir
velvet for bodices is in favor, and is
certainly effective.
The dress trimmings of the season
that are really novel are a mixture of
the Second Empire, Louis XIV, Louis
XVI and early Victorian designs thrown
in with a few ideas OF the present day.
The result is charming in color and
shape, and the cost is not extreme, even
for the latest novelties.
Silk evening gowns show panels and
fronts of mousSeline with embroidery of
elk, spangles, pearls, beads and Jewels.
Jet, pink and green are prominent ef-
fec1s, and the designs, floral in charac-
ter, are very much conventionalized.
OF the Snowy combinations favor is
given to gold and steel, aluminium or
silver with jet. On a net foundation
one sees beautiful steel and jet pieces,
gold mingles in the pearl ornaments,
and in white; as well as the jet and steel
on nets, there is quite a bit coral.
Jet rs undoubtedly the favorite OF the
hour.
In place Of chiffon one observes net
fronts embroidered with beads and span
giles. Bands Of silk applique flowers
are another handsome garniture
Spangles and pessementerie' trimmings
are particularly pretty in ried and jet,
silver ana pink. green and violet. From
London we have a noveI;y in boleros.
These are tiny jackets OF white kid. al
most covered with embroidery ot gold,
colored beads, emerald and coral in BY
Zandne designs. Belts incrustei with
jewels and enamel and oval rhinestone
buckles have an immense sale.
There's no getting around the fact
that in the list Of the seasons fashion
able garnitures braids take the lead
The most popular seems 10 be black
patterns. next in favor being brown,

EASTERN FREIGHT RATES.

Chicago. Nov. 1.-THE situation in
eastern freight rates continues to grow
worse instead Of better, and there are
no signs Of improvement. Nearly all OF
the roads declare that their competitors
are cutting rates in defiance OF all
agreements to the contrary and from this
situation TO open reductions is only
short distance. Il is said that the atten-
ton Of the Joint Traffic association will
be called to the matter, and if il does
not bring up the worst offenders with
round turn. it is likely mat an open war
in rates will be the result.

TALBOT'S SUSPECT.
Doubtless the rlan Wanted, But
Proofs Are Lacking.

Sheriff Jones of Colusa County ar
rived in the city yesterday and took
several looks at Tom Willis, the man
arrested on Wednesday night by Off
Ger Talbot on suspicion of having bur-
glarized a store at Arbuckle.
1t seems, however, that the constables
who were fired upon and frightened
away by the burglars on that occasion
were unable to give even the slightest
descriptions of the men, and that the
description forwarded to this city by
Sheriff Jones was that of suspicious
character seen in the vicinity of Ar
buckle several days prior to the bur-
glariZing of the store.
There is no doubt about the descrip-
ton fitting Tom Willis to dot, and as
he admits having been in the neighbor-
hood of Arbuckle, and states that he
held the conversation published yester-
day relative to an emery wheel and
requested that the wheel be sent to the
Times saloon on Seventh street, every
one feels certain that Talbot captured
the man described.
Up to last night Sheriff Jones was
undecided as to whether or not he will
take the suspect back to Colusa, as
he seems to doubt whether he has evil
dence sufficient to secure his conyic-
ton.
