THE BURNS CASE,
Brief Sketch Of the Princi-
pal, and Of His Affairs.

The account of the abduction O
Bernard Burns, the attempt te
prison him in ST. Mary's Indus,
trial School for Boys at Baltimore
and his escape and return printed
in Yesterdays DAILY CHIEFTA1N,
was SO Intensely interesting as to
make full history Of the boy and
his affairs Of peculiar interest to
the people Of vinita.
Bernard was the only son of the
late Joseph Burns who died four
years ago at Coffeyville, Kan. His
mother was Cherokee by blood
o sister of R. D. Knight of this
city. She was widow when she
married Joseph Burns, and the
mother Of Fuller McBane, who was
killed at Pryor Creek three or four
years age, and Of Mrs. Ida War
rem, the wife of John F. Warren.
Bernard has made his home in
this city for several years with his
uncle, Samuel ]. Burns, and he
graduated from Worcester academy
last June. Samuel J. Burns was
appointed guardian of the boy and
administrators Of his estate by
the tribal courts of the Cherokee
nation some three or more years
ago. Then began long. drawn
out fight in the United States
courts between Mrs. Bridget
Burns and Miss Lizzie Burns,
grandmother and aunt Of the boy,
on the one side, and Samuel J.
Burns on the other, as to who
should have possession of the boy
and administer on the estate.
Bernie, as be has always been
called, has always preferred to
live with 81. Burns, and to have
him manage his affairs, and his
grandmother and aunt have assidu-
ously sought the interposition Of
the courts to assist them in their
claims in the matter. In order to
pacify all parties Judge Springer
at the last term Of the court
held in vinita, appointed Judge 7.
NJ. Burlington, administrator Of
the estate and thus took the mat
ter out of the hands Of Samuel J..
Burns who had given bond and
held the position Of administrator
under the Cherokee law.
