HON. j. Y. CALLAHAN, WASHINGTON, ID. &.

No class OF men are obliged TO be so
careful of their statements as men in
high political positions. Every word
they say is sifted and criticised This
compels them 10 choose their words
carefully and only say things they feel
quite sure are true. Congressman Gala
han. i'm speaking of Pe-ru-na, uses very
enthusiastic praise. He would not wish
nor dare 10 do so If he was not sure Of
his ground. lie was afflicted with stom-
ach trouble twenty years. lie could
find no cure He lost faith I'm every
thing. He was relieved Immediately by
Pe-ru-na. which changed despair 10
hope, faithlessness TO belief Surely he
is warranted In becoming enthusiastic.
ilis words do not exceed the facts They
are above criticism. Thousands of others
in high and low positions, i'm east and
west can speak I'm unstinted praise Of
Pe-ru-na, OF which the following are OK
amples:

lieyed that / have every reason TO he

Bachelor of Law.

John OskisOn returns this week
from California, where he has Just
graduated from the Leland Stanford
University in the law department.
Young Oskison grew up on his
fathers farm few miles west of this
city and is Cherokee by blood. His
father placed him in Willie Halsell
college in this city where he was grad
uated with honOrs. He then entered
the Leland Stanford University, and
now comes home TO us again with a
second diploma and from one of the
leading schools in the country. A
paper printed at Palo Alto, dated May
18th, contains the address of the pres
ident of the university to the gradua-
ting class of '0s, of which young Os-
kison was member. For profundity
of thought and clearness of presenta-
tion we have read nothing in current
literature that approaches it, dealing
as it does with the governmental prob
lens of the age.

Shooting at Pryor Greek.

Tom Sprinkle and Anderson Worthy
became involved in a difficulty at
Pryor Creek Tuesday evening in
which Worthy was fatally wound
ed. Spindle is the keeper of restau-
rant at Pryor Creek, and it seems that
there was an old grudge of several
years standing between the men.
Spindle refused to allow Worthy TO
eat in his place, which refusal was the
cause of a quarrel and fight which
ended in both men drawing their pis-
tols and opening fire upon each other.
Spindle shot several times ali of which
went wild save one which entered the
body of Worthy. The latter it is said
only fired one shot and his revolver
was grasped by the barrel by his an
tagonist. Worthy was not dead
yesterday when heard from, but there
is little hope of his recovery. Chas.
Rider brought Spindle here the same
night, after the shooting, and the case
will be Investigated by Commissioner
Mcclure today.

Going Away.

Our townspeople will regret that H..
c. McGlasSon and family are to leave
Vinita, but the health of the gentle
man is such as to demand a change Of
climate. They will make their home
at Sherman, Tex, where they own a
house, but it is probable that some
time will be spent IN the country west
of San Antonio. Mr.. McGlassOn is re-
garded as the best dry goods man in
the Indian Territory, and as the head
man at Ratcliff's has been able to ac-
complish more than anyone else to-
wards raising the standard of eX-
cellence which now prevails in Vinita
dry goods houses. The splendid home
IeCcEtis baiIt : u be occupied by DR..
Bagby, while G. W. Miller moves into
the house in which the doctor and his
estimable wife begun housekeeping
and have lived so long.

Mora Arrests.

Through the persistent efforts of
Mr.. L. +. Parker, assistant prosecut-
ing attorney, the parties connected
with Blount Martin, the negro who
stole +. w. Strout's horse a while
back, have been arrested. They are
Bert Lynch and white fellow
named Kelley. Blount Martin is in
Jail at Muskogee. An attempt was
made few days ago to liberate Mar
TIL on writ of habeas corpus. The
Cherokee attorneys in Washington
took his case before the supreme court
and the writ was denied. Attorney
Parker deserves much credit for his
activity in breaking up this organized
band of horse thieves.

bon-bons. The prize was very
pretty painting-a nautical scene

the heirs to what is known as the
Fields -Boles Spanish Land Grant,
confirmed by the state OF Texas
met at Vlnita, |. T., Friday, June
3, 1898, for the purpose of organic
ing to recover and get possession
of said land of which the heirs
have long been deprived, owing to
their being Cherokee citizens, and
having no status in court. The
laws now having been changed, the
parties are in position to begin
proceedings at once.
The object of the meeting was
stated, and permanent organiza-
ton was effected by the election of

and Mexico to secure all the data
and evidence needed in this case.
They are clothed with authority to
bring suit and recover property
above mentioned; also to furnish
all moneys for expenses, attor-
news, etc., for which they are to
use 50 per cent. of the entire
amount; each individual claimant
to give the above committee power
of attorney to transact this busi-
ness. If there is nothing done by
Jan. /, 1899. the powers of attor-
ney to be null and void and of no
effect; all former powers of attor-
ney to be revoked. In the event
of committee having to comprom-
Use, sell or transfer title to these
lands, the same must be ratified
by a majority of the members of
this organization before the title
shall be perfected.
All heirs to this estate not pres
ent or represented at this meeting
should correspond at once with
the secretary, in order to get their
names enrolled with this organiza-
ton. The above committee is to
meet in Vinita, l. T., July IL,

A gentleman WE'LL informed re

garding the Fields grant said:
There is no question Of the va
lidity of the grants, as they are a
matter of record in both Austin
and the City of Mexico. The only
difficulty will be in the heirs es-
tablishing their connection to
Fields, Bcwles and their associates;
But even their | apprehend
no trouble, as the Cherokees
have one of the best sys-
TENS of tracing their ancestry
and feel confident there is not a
family in the Cherokee nation but
that can trace their family back to
the time when the United States
was a colony and their parents all
fullbloods.

vinita Incorporation Granted.

The petition to incorporate the city
of Ninita under the Arkansas statutes
was heard in Judge Springer's court
Monday, Attorney ]. B. Burckhalter
representing the petitioners and Judge
Denison the opposition. After hear
ing the arguments on both sides the
right to incorporate was granted. BY
agreement the case will be carried to
the appellate court at South McAles-
ter, and probably be heard next week.
The reason for interposing no objec-
tion to the appeal is that it is the de-
sire of the town to know how the
higher courts will view the matter.
