night TO Rev. Preston b. Jackson, OF

gentleman left for the latter point
and within few weeks Will make
known his answer. The church at

attempts TO unite II, and the expendl-
ture Of considerable sums OF money for
salaries, the New York board has
about decided TO withdraw It's support
for a time, which means disbandment;
this upon Mr.. Jackson's recommended
tion. The church has property worth
$1,000 only slightly encumbered aud In
the course OF a few years IL Is hoped

has made favorable impression upon
our people during his several
visits and not few pesorns outside
the church have expressed the wish
that he will conclude to make vlnita

g ATURDAY LAST, Just about
- noon, Bud Pee, a negro, was shot
and almost instantly killed in this
town by John Davis, son OF w. II.
Davis, the merchant. Pee was for
some time a section hand In Wash
Venter's crew, south Of town, was not
much over 20 years OF age and prob
ably Davis is no older. The two
men had some difficulty at the Ketch-
um precinct election and IL Is reported
Pee stated his intention OF killing
Davis on the first opportunity. Sat
urday as Pee was passing the east side
OF the store Davis, who was in the
yard back Of the building. shot him
with magazine shot gun in the arm
and side. The man ran as far as L.
W. BufflngtOn's, perhaps one hundred
yards, and fell dead. The body was
taken 10 the home Of his sister, Lettle
Muldrow, and that evening taken to
Grand river and buried next day.
Immediately after the killing Davis
mounted horse and fed from town,
going south, but returned Saturday
night and gave himself up TO the
sheriff, and is now being guarded.
Both parties are Cherokee citizens and
Davis doubtless will be allowed TO give
bond. The deceased had an unsavory
record, and was insolent and quarrel
some.
The preliminary examination will
be held before Judge Cochran as soon
as the judge returns from a trip that
he is now on TO the southern portion
Of the nation to attend a political
meeting OF some kind.

g ID. LEONARD, charged with the
- murder OF w. II. Hamilton near
Grove last week, was discharged by
Commissioner Mcclure Friday, the ev-
ldence not being sufficient 60 hold him
TO the grand jury. The investigation
developed the fact that Leonard held
a mortgage or granary OF wheat
which about covered IL, and that
Hamilton had no interest whatever
In the wheat save that he was TO
build barn for the raiser OF the crop,
provided therewas enough OF the grain
left 10 pay him after satisfying Leon
ards mortgage. When Leonard began
hauling the wheat, Hamilton was lay
ing the foundation OF the barn near
by and objected 70 the grain being
moved. Hamilton became abusive
and finally knocked Leonard down
with his fist. The two then started
TO the house TO talk the matter over
with the owner when Hamilton again
knocked Leonard down, whereupon
theiatter drew pistol and shot him
through the neck from the effects OF
which he died In few hours.

MNE OF THE MOST disgusting

ZANE OF THE MOST disgusting
" sights ever witnessed In this
city was to be seen Tuesday afternoon.
A man and woman, apparently
farmers from the country, were on a
drunk. They got into buggy In a
maudlln plight and drove about the
streets, to the infinite disgust OF all
beholders, and finally left town, the
woman being unable to sit up. II is
so unusual to see u woman drunk, OF
TO hear hes swear, that IL Is ten times
more tickening than TO see man In

SOME fifteen years ago there was
- born 20 Geo. w. Taylor and wife
Of Alton baby boy. Mr.. Taylor was
a teacher in the national schools, and
at that time Robt. L. Owen was sup
erintendant OF elections In the Chero-
kee nation, and as many OF us remem-
Der was a hard working, struggling
young lawyer with little capital save
his indomltable energy and plenty OF
native ability. Taylor admired young
Owen, doubtless largely on account OF
favors granted him as a teacher, and
so accordingly named his infant Robt.
L. Time wore on but the event was
remembered by Mr.. Owen who few
days ago showed his appreciation by
sending his namesake check for fifty
dollars and an order TO his Owens
stock farm for a horse, together with
a very kind letter containing some
wholesome advice.
