ONE CENT.
INSANE FROM A BLOW.
YOUNG JOSEPH BREAR HAD TO BE
HELD IN BED-SLOWLY DYING.


HELD IN BED-SLOWLY DYING.
Joseph p. Brear, the young wheelrnan
who ran headlong into Wilmington
City Railway car No. 1903 with such
force that he was hurled into the air at
Fourth and Pine streets, last Tuesday.
is slowly dying at his home, No 410
East Third street.
After the operation OF trephining the
skull which was performed by three
physicians yesterday as a last resort,
all mental equilibrium left the unfortu-
nate young man and the efforts of four
men were required to hold him in bed
DIR. II. II. Spruance. who is attending
the young man, Is said to have given up
all hope Of his recovery. The trouble
is a compound fracture of the skull, and
the man has never recovered conscious
ness except for five minutes, when he
burst into tears at sight OF his mother.
The accident to young Brear was an
awful sight and was witnessed by pas
sengers In car No. 1903 and New Castle
car No. 2G. Young Brears father is
foreman of the p, w. a. b. roundhouse.
and IL was Joseph's duty on this event
ful day to take an early morning ride
on his bicycle and call certain engi-
neers who were wanted early at the
round-house. He was riding rapidly
down Poplar street and never noticed
the Summer car intersecting his path
until neither bicyclist nor mctorman
could stop.
Brear struck the car broadsides, and
the force Of the blow sent him in the
air and his shattered wheel among the
seats OF the Summer car. An exami-
nation by physicians showed that the
fracture OF the skull was not all the in
jury he had received, as his collar-b bone
WAS broken

Autumn at the seashOre. A Delightful
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-10-21

One of the problems for the
courts of the Indian country to
solve seems to be whether it be
Justice to sentence a fullblood In
dian TO the full extent of the law
when convicted of crime or not. If
The Indians environments, and his
opportunities for rising to the
standard of good citizenship is to
be considered it is very sure that
he is entitled to some leniency by
the United States courts. A few
generations ago he was a wild, un-
tutored savage, unscquainted alike
with the laws of the white man or
the penalty for their violation;
born and reared in a country
where to a great extent the un-
written laws of nature were his
only guide, and where his actions
were as free as the sunshine. II
is a long, toilsome stretch from the
savage to the civilized and culti-
waited man, and the journey cannot
be made in one generstion or two
or three, but only by the leveling
gradations of decades, and centu-
ries perhaps. The Indian is as true
TO his instincts and inclinations as
the white man is. For an igno-
rant fullblood, who was never off
his reservation, and who is unable
to speak a word of English, to toe
the mark to the standard OF the
white man is simply a physical
impossibillty and he ought not to
be expected to do it. Some means
of punishment adequate to his
knowledge should be provided for
the fullblood Indian.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-10-21
EDITORIAL TRUISMS.

If you call an editor an ass he
may prove it by kicking.
Editors are born, not made out
of school teachers and monkeys.
The editor who attends to his
own business has a good steady
job.
Giving the public advice is like
throwing stones at a dog and has
the same effect.
Some editors are like toy bal
looms; stick pin in 'em and there
is nothing left but the slack.
An editor should not be so mod
est as to shun the naked truth,
even if it costs him his job.
A dog can say more with his tail
in a minute than some newspapers
can in a column of solid nonpariel.
Don't forget that the same op-
portunities may make useful cit
izen out of one man and an ass
out of another.
Nature seems to be at falt in not
building some editors SO that they
can pat their own backs and also
kick themselves.
Announce of keeping your mouth
shut is worth pound of explana
ton when the man you've lied
about comes around.
If Darwin founded his theory of
evolution on the monkey-shines
editors sometimes cut, he didn't
miss it very far after all.
The mission OF the monkey is to
try to do what others do. He may
write professor in front Of his
name, or editor after it, but he is
still monkey.
The editor who makes a state
ment should stick to it if it be true,
even in the presence of trio Of big
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1897-10-21

A VERY pertinent question with
the Cherokees and the other tribes
of this territory at this time is
whether the tribal jurisdiction is
to cease the first of next year or
not. 1t is of course impossible to
know precisely what congress can
or will do in this matter, but We
believe that the reasonable view of
the matter is that the Indian gov
ernments will not lose the jurisdic-
ton of their courts the first of JAN
uary, 1898, nor at any other time
without their consent or modifi-
cation of the treaty of 1866. The
government of the United States
is bound by its contract with the
Indians to as great an extent as are
the Indians bound. The tribal
governments cannot be wiped out
of existence simply by an act of
congress, especially when that act
is wholly inconsistent with the
treaties. The Cherokee courts
will in our humble opinion remain
intact, for the present at least.
Congress has gone about as far as
it can go toward abolishlng the In
dian government without the con-
sent of the Indians.
