Capital is proverbially timid, and it is
natural that Eastern holders of the Indian
apolis park Improvement bonds should be
anxious to know if they are affected by the
decision of the Supreme Court wiping out
the commission. They can rest easy, as the
bonds are in no way affected. City Con-
troller johnson is to be commended for en-
bracing the opportunity to assure them that
''The city of indianapolis will not repudiate
any obligation nor seek to evade the full

decision handed down by the United States
Court Of Appeals in a case from the West
ern district of North Carolina il has been
virtually declared that the members of the
Eastern band of Cherokee Indians are not

of the court is that the band has no right
to make any contract whatever without the
sanction of the United States government.
In this case the court ignores the decision

Representative Dingley, author of the
present tariff, has entire confidence that it
will fulfill the expectations of it's friends.
In his speech before the Home Market Club
at Boston a few nights ago he predicted
that popular approval of the measure would
strengthen after the business and industries
of the country get adjusted to it's pro-
visions. Permit me to say" he continued,
that it is because the trainers of the law
believe that it will in due time bring forth
such results that 1 unite with you tonight
in congratulating the people of this coun-
try on the great success which has thus far
attended the administration of President
Mckinley" The Indications are that Mr..
Dngley's confidence is not misplaced. The
new tariff law is indicating itself every
day, and the Mckinley administration is
growing in popular esteem as one that
keeps its promises.

from the fact that Mr.. Leighton and Hon.

SHOT BY PADDY SHEA.
Wichita Man Badly Wounded by the
 Pugilist in Ills Saloon.

Wichita. Kan, Nov. 19-Ed Caw- son was shot late last night by Paddy Shea, the prize fighter and proprietor of a saloon and disreputable house in the packing house district, at the latter's resort. Shea is now ill the, Sedgwick county jail and Dawson lies in the Wichita hospital in a coma.os ? state, with three wounds in his body.
 Dr. M. W. Cave, who attended Daw- son, states that the wounded man told him that he had had fight with Shea in the afternoon, during which he received pistol wound in his arm and lost pocketbook containing about $40O. Later in the evening he re- turned and demanded the money, when Shea began to beat him and shot him in the back three times
 Shea had trouble with his wife a few weeks ago and she left him. She had since been living with Dawson, while Shea had tal1en up with another woman. Shea runs an academy of scientific boxing in connection with his resort. He makes the following statement: Dawson went to my place Of business at 4 o'clock yesterday af- ternoon, armed with a revolver, and dIC0iuptOu IO uuG. l CduSu' LQ6 muZZle of the revolver and a scuff1e ensued.

IN DISTRICT COURT.
Matters Disposed of Yesterday-Trou-

A trial jury, the venire returnable on December l, was drawn yesterday. It is said that this is the first time i2 five years the law has been strictly compiled with. That is, julies have not been drawn, but have been se- lected by the sheriff under an orua from the court.
 Judge Street yesterday chose Thom- as J. Prescott for bailiff and court crier and he was subsequently, ap pointed deputy sheriff by Sheriff Orme.
 In the case of R. E .Daggs vs. L. H. Orme, Charles Goldman ct al, demur- Ter to plea in bar was partly ar gued. In the matter of John NJ. Mur- dock vs. J. Thomas Brown, a demur- Ter and motion for costs were over ruled.

A DEPARTED LIAR.
An Unnaturalized and Ungratefu
 Canuck.

When Arthur Drapeau, an old res ident of Arizona, moved out last fall this territory lost it's most picturesque liar. There are others, but none, whatever their strivings and ambi- uons, who had been able to reduce the art of prevarication so nearly to an exact science as MT. Drapsau had succeeded in doing.
 For many years MT. Drapeau con ducted a general merchandise business at Castle Creek. He sold it last Sep tember to James Milton for $S,O00 and after arranging all his other affairs departed for Montreal, his former home, about the last of September.
 On October 5 the Montreal Daily News contained an interesting story of the return of four former towns man." MT. Arthur Drapeau, from the Klondyke. MT. Drapeau within a very short time had succeeded in cleaning up s3OO,O0O to say nothing of a large fortune in nuggets ranging in

THE K. OF P. BANQUET.
Castle Hall Too Small to Hold All of
 Last Nights Pleasure

No none pleasant gathering ever oc- cured in Phoenix than that of tn members of Phoenix lodge Mo- 2, Knights of Pythias, around the ban quet board last night in honor of Chief Justice Street. The Castle hall was never so elaborately decorated and no banquet within it had ever be- fore been gonten up with so little re- gard to expense.
 The nortthern end of the hall was a bank of palms and the green of sm:lax was twined about the pendent lights
 AS enjoyable as the banquet itself was, the speechmaking was the chief feature of the night. B. A. Fickas was toastmaster. The principal toasts were: ''Knighthood, "A Just Re ward Awaits the True and Faithful, '' and 'fMen Among Men," to which re- sponse was made in order by At and A. A. Long The congratulatory address to the guest of the evening was delivered by H. M Willis The speeches were brief, but felicitous and all had reference to the work oi Judge Street in the order, and to the Pythian honors he had attained in hay ing successively been made chancel- Ter of his own lodge, grand chancellor for the territory, and in having twice sat in the supreme lodge.
 The recognition of his merit in his appointment to be chief justice was made theme by all the speakers The judges reply to the congratu- lations of his brethren was eloquent and fdll of feeling. The banquet was Irulcnged until after midn. ghs.

value from $10 to $50, which he had brought back for gratuitous distribu- ton among his friends. MT. Dra- peau was living at the principal hotel in the city in style almost approach ing oriental magnificence. He had favored 0he Daily News with long interview in which his views of the Klondyke and it's future were fully set forth, and all of which was regarded by the News as of supreme value and interest to intending prospectors. As soon as MT. Drapeau had rested from his long journey he intended to go on to Boston, where two brothers were living whom he was going to make rich and happy.
 As matter of fact Mir Drapeau was no nearer the Klondyke than Van couver and the golden nuggets which he so generously distributed were the accumulation of years in his Castle Creek store. Nobody in Arizona cares what kind of a roseate lie one of it's residents may tell when he goes abroa1, but one cannot help feeling that common patriotism ought to in duce him to make this territory the beneficiary of it. Why did MT. Drapeau let his imagination lgo meandering through the Klondyke? Why could he not confine it to the gulches about Castle Creek and say that those mug gets could be obtained by the mere picking of them up? But MT. Dra- peau is a Canadian by birth, was never naturaliZed and never had any love for the territory.

MIR. sWINCosKrs TROUBLES.
His Adventure With a Wheel Which
 He Rode to Jail.

The bicycle stolen from Dr. J. C. Norton on Wednesday night has ben recovered along with the man charged with stealing it. His name is Frank SWincoski. He was captured on tbe other side of Vulture Siding by Deputy Sheriff Henry George on ThursdaE night.
 SWincoski was arraigned in Justice Kincaid's court yesterday and his pre- liminary examination was set for this afternoon. He insisted upon telling his story until Assistant District Attorney Kibbey told him he would ask him a few questions which he need nos an swer and the answers to which, if made, world not be used against him. 'I will warn you," said Judge Kibbey, "that I am the prosecuting attorney"
 Dot vos all right, chudge," said Mr. Swincoski softly. There was a gentleness about his style of conver- sation which reminded one of Joe Jefferson in Rip Van Wrinkle.
 He said he did not steal the bicycle. He was on his way to his home at Santa Clara, Cal, where his family lives. He had been working at Bis bee until attacked by colds and levers and had come to Phoenix intending 10 go first to Congress, then to Prescott and then home. He missed the train on Wednesday night and sat up all night to save room rent Early in the morning he went to the s. F. P & P. depot to get his blankets, which he had left there the night before
 On his way back he met a man on a wheel who "vos cussin' de coun- , tries He had just ridden from Globe at the rate of 100 miles a day He was filed limit dust and schweat vos proke und hungry and otherwise dissatisfied and in a cursing mood He wanted to sell his wheel which he said was worth $60.
