Washington, Feb. 6.-The important
news in Washington to-day was the rat-

Prompted by Gen. Otis promise of last
night TO send along the list of casualties

EDITOR TIMEs:-Is it not little
strange that just now, after the
close of the summer term of the
Cherokee public schools, the Cher
okee board of education, of which
up to this time il has had exclu-
sive management and control, so
suddenly discovers and publicly
declares that fitty.6ve (belng over
half the whole number OF that
class of schools in existence) have
not made the required legal aver
age and are therefore discontin-
red? Is it reasonable to suppose
that all these fifty.five schools
should have "run down" during
the term just closed and that the
board should just now have dis
covered the fact? There is un-
questionably some signlncance at
tached to the sudden action of the
gentlemen OF the board. Two
other members of the board have,
within the last six months, found
it convenient to seek shelter and
take refuge in timely resigna-
tion. The present members OF

The Duke OF Norfolk is exceeding
ly fond of relating the following
tale: He entertained an excursion
party from London, some 1,200
strong, at Arundel and presided
over the dinner. Before dinner an
amusing incident occurred. Warn
iAgs to keep off the grass were much
in evidence and were much obeyed.
One person, in a soft felt hat and
reefer jacket, was observed crossing
the sward.
"Come off the grassl" said wom-
an sharply. !" 'Tis the likes of you
that gets poor people bad name.
Can't you see it's forbiddenG"
The person went on, smiling. But
the woman's surprise was laughable
to see when she found at the dinner
she had been abusing the duke him
self. -Pearson's Weekly.

HEAD SPLIT WITH AN AK.
Not Dead, But Recovery is
Considered Unlikely.

Details of the tragedy enacted
at Russell creek yesterday, are as
follows: For about week a party
of four or five men and women
with a fake show have been
camped at the Bowden place, two
miles from Russell creek. The
principals to the tragedy were a
man named j. w. Shirick and his
steps son, Charles Guy, aged about
90. The old man was cursing his
wife CHE young mans mother)
and also commenced abusing
the latter, and advanced towards
him as though TO strike him. The
young man then picked up piece
of iron and told his antagonist not
to come nearer or ,he would hit
him. AT this the old man, Shirick
started Tor the wagon Tor gun,
saying he would kill Guy.
The other picked up an ak
and as Snirick came at him he
laid his head open with the blade.
A doctor from CAetopa came down
and sewed up the wound but said
recovery was impossible.
Guy felt justified, and quietly
awaited the arrival of Bud Ledbet-
ter, of this city, who went today
and arrested him, bringing him
down Oh the local. Public senti-
ment is with him, it being the
opinion that the other was the az
gressor. The preliminary trial
will take place in this city, though
probably not until the fate OF
Shirick is known.

WHY THEY SELL LOW.
Poor Crop Prospects Have
Limited Spring Trade.

The Chieftain believes that
more dry goods, clothing and
shoes can now be bought Tor dol
lar than ever before in the history
of the town by 25 to so per cent.
1t is doubtful if this indicates
good, healthy condition in mercan.
tile circles, but it's condition
and not theory" The trade
during the spring and early sum-
mer months though greater than
previous years has not fulfilled
the expectation ofth merchants,
owing to the questionable condi-
tion of the wheat and corn. These
staples have been regarded in
jeopardy almost continuously since
early in the winter and people
will not buy freely OF any goods
except staples under such cond1-
tions. Now the fall trade must be
prepared for-room must be made
and the money must be gotten out
of goods in store. These condi-
tions in addition to the very close
competition prevailing in Vinita
have brought about very low prices
indeed on the lines of goods
named. II our readers were skep-
tical about the statements made in
the advertising columns this item
might be regarded as ''inspired. :"
But such is not The case, fortu.
nately Our advertisers know full
well that deception in this direc-
ton would be fatal policy, and
this item is simply written to ex-
plain what might not be under
stood, and that some of our read
ers in remote neighborhoods may

The Indian officials to whom was
presented the telegraphic order of
Judge Thomas TO hold the body of
William Goings, say they disre-
garded the order because one fed
eral Judge had remanded Goings
back to their CUSTODY and stated
the Indians had full and complete
jurisdiction, and that too, it was
on yellow paper and had no seal,
therefore, they did not believe it
legal. No wonder they were sus-
picious. The average Indian has
been fooled and fuddled so much

right to be suspicious.-Denison

was rather put out over the result of the
game. Hs said he would be willing to bet

defeat lho California team by a score of
40 TO on l. Earder field.
COACH WARNER thought that the
long railroad journey had something to do
with the showing made by the Carlisles.
He also complained that the field was too
soft and retarded the Indians work He
spoke highly OF the California team and
thought its standard of playing was on a
par with the best Eastern teams

Pringle and Smith were put to bed on ar

him considerably, and to relieve the pain

operation as he has done during his whole

happy as lark. He fitted around the

them on the back for their good work and
acting like man who felt satisfied He
said that the men went into the game in
as good condition as on Thanksgiving day.
He thinks that the weeks rest was bene-
fetal to the eleven; that they went into
the game stronger and played with
greater vim than ever before. He said II
taught him that too much work shows on
a team. and In future he will see that
players are given more rest. He half re-

the Indian territory. Every time that q
vouchdown seemed imminent for the In
SLAMS California would spread glue all
over Itself and hold fast as nails. Smith
was being used up in the fierce work
forced upon him, but he refused to quit
the neld. Gamely and with determination
the Indians would fight their way from
the center OF the field to the California,
ther could they go. All their tactics, all
their stratagem was utilized The Indian
team would shoot over TO one side OF the
ball and with a tandem Interference they
would advance, only to be repulsed at the
end. Grilling as the work was, Caltfor-
MAS men stood the brunt of battle, but
Smith, with weakened ankle, had to be
packed off the field. He was replaced by
Moore, whose punting excelled that Of

bleachers.
And so the battle wagcd. nothing ap-

Captain Wheelock realized that little
could be done unless ii were done fast

through the center dashed Metoxen for
ten yards and the Indians lined up almost

OF the line. and Metoxen again lessened

none too well, had gone into the battle
and played grittily without a moments

no let up, no moments OF light work for
either team. Never was a rest more hun
rered after than that between the halves,
and never did it produce such wholesome
results
The blue and gold lined up on the center
with more heart than when they took
their positions an hour before. They
realized how strong they were in defense.
and at the same time did not undervalue
the strength OF the opposition. Carlisle

He said: California certainly did her

thought there was too much fumbling.
