BIG FRAUDS DISCOVERED.
Government Cheated Out of Large Sums
on Account of Creek indians.

Washington, October 25.-Over 800, 600
of alleged fraudulent warrants on the
United States treasury on account Of the
Creek Indian nation, in Indian territory,
have been discovered by government
authorities. The alleged fraud was per-
petrated in connection with the payment
of the Creek Indian debts and only the
barest details have reached here. Con-
gress by recent enactment authorized
the liquidation OF the indebtedness of the
Creeks, amounting to $3.50, 900. The
amount appropriated was to be paid out
of the United States treasury and de-
Quoted from the large funds of that tribe
now in the treasury for their benefit.
The work of paying off was begun months
ago, but when the last warrants were
presented it was found that the amount
paid, instead of being 1888, 300 as author
lied, had reached $780, 900. Official advices
show that over 800. 900 worth of the war
rants were fraudulent. Supplementing
this is the fact that one of those impl.
Gated made confession today. 1t was
found that many old warrants to which
no consideration had ever attached had
been revived and paid under the process
of trial approval, and that many new

o'BRIEN's DEATH ACCIDENTAL.

Calais, October 25.-There was thought
to be some mystery connected with the
finding of the body Of Patrick O'Brien,
q wealthy farmer In the water OF a brook
at Chnmcoock, N. B., yesterday. On the
report that murder might have been
committed, the attendance Of the coroner
at St. Andrews, N. b., was secured. 1t
Is generally believed that o. Brien met
his death by accident, while returning
from st. Stephens, where he had been
and sold a load Of farm produce last
Thursday. His horse probably ran away,
throwing him out. The horse naturally
went home while o. Brien started to fol-
low on foot. On the foot path on the
bridge over the Waweig brook were loose
planks, and it is supposed he fell through
and into the water below. A searching
party yesterday found O'Brien's hat on
the bridge and when they dragged the
stream the body was found. The ooro.
ner's inquest will probably clear up what
mystery is supposed to surround
O'Brien's death.

BRYAN FOR GEORGE.

New York, October 25.-The Tammany
leaders and campaign managers were
thrown into panic today by the news
thai William J. Bryan favored the
election of Henry George and that he re-
fused absolutely to say one word in favor
of the Tammany ticket.
Early in the campaign John G. Sheehan
communicated with close personal and
political friend of Bryan, and urged that
the defeated candidate of the Chicago con-
vention write or say something in support
of the Tammany candidates Il few days
before the election.
The reply received was encouraging and
it was announced at Tamlnany Hall that
on Sunday before the election, letter or
telegram from Bryan, indorsing the
Tammany ticket, would BIZ made public.
That WAS before Henry George was nomi-
mated On a platform that reaffiTms the
Chicago declaration.
When George entered the race, disturb
ing runors about Bryan's attitude
reached the Tanmany leaders, and then
they went to work to use all the Influence
they could control to keep the "boy
orator from coming out openly for the
only candidate running on the Chicago
platform.
q Today letter came from ex.Gov.
Stone, of Missouri to the effect that Bryan
had refused to say word in support of
the Iammany ticket. He IS going to
Ohio this week to make speeches for the
Democratic ticket in that state. He has
promised not to write a letter in support
of George. but that is the best Tammany
leaders could get him to do.
HOW SHEEHAN PLACES THEM.
. New York, October 25.-John C. Shee-
han, leader of Tammany hall, tonight
said: 81 am confident that Van Wyck
will poll at least 250, 600 votes. Tracy is
sure to be second and believe Low will
be third. George will be a poor fourth

Peekskill, N. Y, October 25.-All the

physicians stated that none of the in

whether they we're struggled into this
country his lips are sealed, but on other
subjects he converses freely. He says
there were twelve Cinnamon in the party.

BUCKLEY WAS MURDERED.
Evidence of a Horrible Crime Near Hall
fax, N. S.

Halifax, N. S., October 25.-An inves-
tigation of the circumstances in oonnec-
ton with the finding of the dead body of
Thomas Buckley, an old farmer resid-
ing at Buckeyes Corner, Kings county,
has caused the authorities to conclude
that deliberate and cold bIooded muir
der was committed. The tragedy is very
similar to the Fuller murder recently
committed at Horton, not far from Buck
lev Corner. The escape of the perpetra-
tor of that crime, was doubtless an incen-
tive to the committal of this latest muir
der. Buckley was ploughing on Friday.

1t was thought that Buckley had COM

the frightful wound on the other side of
his head.
The old man owned revolver which
