Didn'r Have Smallpox.

A stranger came in on the six
O'Clock train last evening and went
to a private clearinghouse for
supper and lodging 1t was ru-
mored that he had been nursing a
smallpox patient, and the man was
ordered from the premises. He
finally found lodging elsewhere, to
which place the same rumor fol-
lowed, and a gentleman in the
house asked the stranger to go to a
physician and submit to an exam
inatiOn. This was done, and the
physician declared the man free of
all systoms of the disease. He was
not further disturbed.

CITIZENSHIP APPEALS.
Motion Go Dismiss HAS Been SubmItte d
to Supreme Court.

Judge c. c. Potter of Gaines
vile, who has been one of the most
jealous and effective workers in
the interest of the claimants to In
dian citizenship, has lately return
ed from Washington City, where
he had been in behalf of clients.
From him it is learned that the at
torneys for the defense in the citi-
zenship cases made a motion to
dismiss all the appealed cases, and
that the motion had been argued at
considerable length before the su-
preme court. Attorneys for the
claimants are jubilant over the pros
poets of dismissal of the appeals
which have been prosecuted by the
Indian nations. Even should the
motion to dismiss be overuled, the
attorneys are confident of a favor
able verdict, as they have worked
the cases closely and have them in
excellent shape. The courts de-
cision on the motion may not be
reached and announced for some
weeks, and in the meantime the
attorneys are very impatient.
j. G. Thompson, who went to
Washington on citizenship bust
ness, is expected home tonight.

Muskogee. /. T., Feb. 23.-Unit-
ed States District Attorney South
ern District, Ardmore, l. T.: Sir
would especially state that COM
plants are coming to me daily
from different points in the Terri
tory relative to the illegal cutting
and sale of timber; and as it is un-
lawful for any person to cut tim
Der for the purpose of speculation
or sale in any of the nations, |
would ask that you confer with the
United States marshal of your dis
trict, and ave him direct his de-
puties to look after this matter very
carefully, and where they find such
illegal cutting or shipping of tim
Der to report 1t, and arrest the Of
tenders. ! would thank you to
advisetme of what action Is taken
in the matter Very respectfully,
j. GEO. WRIGHT,
L. S. Indian Inspector.
Marshal Hammer, in response to
question as to what action he
would take, said that he would in
struct his deputies in conformity
with the instructions contained in
the inspectors letter.
The law referred to seems very
clear. Reference to court reports
shows but few decisions, but one
these, by Judge Gresham while on
the circuit court Dench, cOnstrues
the law literally and affirms de-
cision of the lower court infiicting
a fine upon an Indian for cutting
timber, though the court remarks
that it seems harsh that such should
be the law.
Section 1888 of the Revised Stat
utes Of the United States reads
Every person who unlawfully
cuts, or aids or is employed in un-
lawfully cutting, or wantonly de-
strOys or procures to be wantonly
destroyed, any timber standing
upon the land of the United States
which, in pursuance of law, may
be reserved or purchased for mill
tary or other purposes, or upon
any Indian reservation, or lands
belonging to or occupied by any
tribe of Indians under authority
of the United States. shall pay /

PARENTI WAS POISONED.
But the Question Is, Who Admin
istered the Stuff?

The only information yet received as
to the result Of the analysis of the con-
tents of the stomach of Charles Par
emit, who died from poison here about
a week ago, was obtained yesterday
from a San Francisco paper. 1t was to
the effect that Chemist L. S. Crackbon
had stated that the indications point
very strongly to the presence of large
quantities of morphine in the stomach
Of the dead tailor, and that he will be
surprised if the final tests do not re-
veal morphine crystals in considerable
bulk.
When the analysis is completed and
the result made known to Coroner Nc
Mullen he will hold an inquest on the
body of the deceased. It is said that
it can be proven that a few weeks ago
the deceased asked friend to write for
him the word "strychnine," which
might indicate that he then contem-
plated taking poison.
