ANCIENT CHEROKEE CLAIMS.
Suits Filed ON Some That Were Al
lowed Fifty Years Ago, but
Never Paid.

Muskogee. I. T.. Oct. 23-(SpeciaI.) Sew
eral important injunction suits have re-
Gently been filed in the United States court
at this place against Treasurer Lipe of the
Cherokee nation. which amount to moro
than $4,000. The suits grow out of the re-
jected claims against the Old Settler. or
Western. Cherokee fund. now in the hands
Of Treasurer Lipe, and he has been enjoin--
ed from paying out any of the fund until
the rejected claims are adjudicated by the
United States court. The most important
claims filed are those of the heirs of Will

Ark, whose claims were allowed in lS47 by
the Old Settler auditing committee but
have never been paid; because there were
until recently. and then the parties in
charge Of the fund refused to pay them.
The suits date back farther than any
others now on file in the United States
court at this place, and many of the orig
inal documents. which were made over
fifty years ago. are filed with the papers.
The suits promise to be very interesting
on account of the antiquity of the claims
and the bitter feeling existing between the
claimants and the present Old Settler audit
ing committee.

CHICAGO POLICE SHAKEUP.
Over Four Hundred PatrOlmen to he
Discharged to Make Why for
"Star LenEueo Men,

Chicago. Oct. 23.-Chief Ripley has sent
to the civil service commission a requisition
calling for 4S5 experienced patrolmen- Com
missioner Winston sent TO Chief Ripley the
names of the 435 men on the Star League
eligible list as certified to appointment.
Kipley will notify the Star League men of
their appointment and make arrangements
to have them sworn in within a few days
When the candidates have received their
stars and are ready for active service,
Chief Ripley will issue his big general or
der discharging 435 patrolmen appointed
under the Swift administration.
Ripley believes that the change can be
accomplished in this way with less incon-
venience than by any other plan. If the
men were discharged before the new candi-
dates were certified for appointment. the
number of patroimen on duty would be
several hundred short for several days. or
until the new men could be properly as
signed to the different precincts. Another
reason given for the adoption of this plan
IS that the mayor wants the general order
issued while he is campaigning for Tam
many in New York SO as to escape the

by the friends of the discharged men.

says Mr.. Deneen. and it has only been
within few days that Inspector Scnaack
and Captain Schuettler became possessed
of the facts. No arrangement was reached
as to bail.
". A. Vincent and A. A. Goodrich. I4uet-
gert's attorneys, called on Mayor Harrison
to-day and made a formal demand that Po-
lice Inspector Schaack be removed. Judge
Goodrich called the mayors attention 10
a published interview in which Inspector
Schaacii is quoted as giving intimation that
Juror Harley was Influenced by Goodrich
in holding out for a disagreement in the
Luetgert case.
Judge Vincent called the mayors atten-
ton to what he termed the ''rascaliy"
methods of Schaack in prosecuting the

intended to do In the matter.

that the prisoner cannot legally marry IL

Forty such communications have been
received within a week, and yesterday
Luetgert turned the tendery worded mis-
sives over to his son Arnold with the re-
quest that they all be answered. Arnold
refused to show the epistles. but admitted

Mr.. Silverran said that John Schiegel
was the victim of the case. He was the
greatest sufferer of the wrong perpetrated
in DR.: Bergers office. He said Schlegel

he killed his victim without justification
or excuse. or he is innocent of any wrong.

Suppose it was true that this man thought
there was no recourse for him in law. Then
you might imagine that this letter might
come from that man under such circum-
stances"
Major Woodson said the way to hurt
some people was through the pocketbook.
MAJOR w oodson began to quote statements
alleged to have been made by Prosecutor
Lowe. when the prosecutor sprang 10 his
feet and demanded the court to reprove Ma

Judge Wofford pounded his desk and said
with great severity: Major Woodson, you

of order in this case. Do not let it happen

Major Woodson declared that Schlegel's
letter to the prosecutor was another evil

the jury would have to guess that the de-

TO avenge her honor. She shook hands
warmly with her husband and then sat
down beside him and, taking Hugo in her
lap. gave the jury her undivided and care

the picture presented by Mrs. Schlegel and
her two Intelligent looking and handsome
children created a favorable impression
upon the jury. What effect the tears of
the defendant had upon the twelve men

1t was noticeable that all during the trial
Mrs. Schlegel appeared to be one of the
least concerned in the final result. When

assault, when they heaped the Goals of

expression of emotion Her face was as
calm as May morning-not tremor of

Mr.. sILvERMAN CONCLUDES.
and Quotes Literally From
the Bible.

Attorney Silverman resumed his address
to the jury at the opening of court by re-
viewing the evidence of the state and the
defense. He asked the jury If they be-
lIeved the state had treated the defendant
fairly in the case. He arraigned the states
attorneys for not introducing evidence to
show what Schlegel had said when he shot
down DR.. Berger.
When schlegel shot that man down he
believed he was doing the work Of God"
shouted Attorney Silverman. when
Schlegel stood above the PROSTATE form
of the wounded man and said. He ruined
my home. did that sound like the utter
ance of a blackmailer? Schlegel believed
in his soul that Berger had ruined his
home"
