Important Indian Case.

SOUTH McALEsTER, /. T., June 80. -
The case Of Rebecca G. Harris ct al. VS..
the Dawes Commission, now pending in
the Federal Court at this place, promises,
owing to the possible magnitude of its
effects, to become one of the most famous
cases ever tried before the Indian Terri
tory courts. The issue raised, and to
be passed upon by the higher courts il
appealed, involves something over 4 900
persons heretofore admitted to Choctaw
and Chickasaw citizenship by the Indian
Territory courts, and approximately
SEQ, 900, 1000 worth Of Choctaw and
Chickasaw property.
The contention Of Mansfield, Nc.
Murray & Cornish, attorneys for these
nations, Is that the lands belong jointly
to the two tribes and that these persons
have sued only one Of the tribes and
taken Judgment against only one Of them
and seek now to acquire allotments of
lands belonging jointly to the tribes It
isa question for judicial determination,
and the greatest difficulty heretofore
experienced Is that the tribes are power.
less to sue, except by special act of
Congress.
The plaintiffs, Mrs. Harris and others,
were admitted, like all other court
persons to Choctaw citizenship, by Judge
Clayton. When they presented their
to the Dawes Commission
for enrolment it developed from their
testimony that they had not moved to
the Territory within the time required
by the Curtis act, and their enrolment
therefore was refused. They now seek
to have Judge Clayton compel the com.
mission, by writ Of mandamus, to enroll
them.
1t Is understood that this case will be
taken through the usual course Of liti-
CATION with all possible speed to the
Supreme Court Of the United States, and
Its progress will no doubt be watched
with much interest, especially by the
court persons, who are directly con.
cerned,

Killing Near Cedarvllle.

R. Kennedy young man living on
the old Branson farm two miles north or
Cedarville was stabbed to death by anoth-
er young man living in the neighbor-
hood named John Russell Friday even
ing.
The report of the killing as brought
to town Saturday developed the fact that
the bad feeling that led to the taking Of
a human life dated back some time.
The two had had difficulty while
gathering blackberries which ended in
blows being exchanged.
Kennedy met Russell In the road near
his home Friday evening and the trouble
was renewed ending in Kennedy being
mortally stabbed.
A young brother of Kennedy's was
the only witness to the deed, he having
been attracted by his brothers cry for
help and arrived Just in time to see
Russell finish his bloody work and see
his brother stagger to the roadside to
fall and die. Russell, after the deed,
mounted a horse and rode to the home
of brother, where he exchanged his
bloody shirt for clean one and then
left for parts unknown.
The feeling around Cedarville Is not
in Russell's favor, the killing being
considered unwarranted.
Russell was Thursday brought to Van
Buren by Sheriff Branson, he having
captured him at the home of cousin
twelve miles south of Sallisaw, |. 7.
When captured he appeared not aware
that his victim was dead and the first
question he asked the officer was how
Kennedy was getting along, He claims
the stabbing was in self-defense as his
opponent was much more powerful than
he. The grand jury had already in
dicted Russell for murder in the second
degree and he was taken before Judge
to plead Thursday evening. He plead
not guilty and the trial was set to begin
at p. NJ. yesterday.
Sheriff Branson made clever capture
in Russell s case When he found that
Russell apparently was not in the Cedar
vile neighborhood, he located his kins
folks in the Territory and deduced his
man would be found there, and events
proved he was not mistaken.

Hearst's Chicago American.

Quite the most important recent event
In Journalism was the establishment on
the Fourth Of July Of Hearst y Chicago
American, "a daily and Sunday paper
devoted to Democratic principles. The
owner, Mr.. W. r. Hearst, OF the New

Examiner Is too well known to the
Democrats Of America to need intro
duction. His papers on either coast
have been bulwarks Of the Democratic
cause for years They have shown
themselves unAinching In their devotion
TO principle and superior to the threats
or Establishments from any quarter
The great success which they have
achieved In gaining both wealth and
reputation for their owner Is sufficient
proof that journalism Of that sort IL,
like honey, always the best policy. II
seems needless to predict that the

same high character,

What Hill, Croker and Shiveley
Think of the Ticket,

NEW YORK July 6.-Democratic lead
ers in Kansas City are enthusiastic over
the work OF the Kansas City convention,
In statements sent out recently they de-
clare that the party has never made
better selections The pith of the state
ments is contained in the following
extracts:
mo better nomination could be made
than that of Mr.. Stevenson for vice.
president. He is q safe, conservative
and able man, His nomination helps
ont the platform and makes the party
stronger everywhere. The ticket is q
strong one. 1t can and must be elected.
Every Democrat throughout the country
should support it.
II intend to take the stump in behalf
OF the Democratic candidates. Ny first
speech will probably be made in New
York have received many invitations
to visit other States during the cam
paign. AS many of these invitations
AS possible will accept. will do my
share of the work.
"DAvID B. HILL.
''It is my opinion that Stevenson, the
candidate for vice president, will make
the strongest candidate in New York
State that could possibly have been
except one of the State s own
sons. He is conservative and reliable
He will make splendid running
mate for Bryan, the party's standard
bearer. His nomination will greatly
the party in Illinois. l be-
lieve the Democrats will carry that
State, as we'll as Ohio, Indiana and New
York.
"The loss of New York would be
fatal to the Republican party. That
party Is in a precarious condition, and
haye been told and believe that New
York will be made the center of the
battle-ground. The thirty.
six electoral votes of the Empire State
will be cast for Bryan and Stevenson.
The party in the State is united, and it
will work harmoniously together.
ORCHARD CROKER.
1.-THE ticket nominated by this con-
vention is strong one the platform is
u good one, the convention was prac-
tically unanimous, and the prospect Of
success is splendid.
II make the prediction that with this
platform and the candidates chosen, the
Democratic party will carry Indiana, and
put it back in the Democratic column,
where 1t belongs. Adai E. Stevenson
Is u splendid man. He has been before
the public and has been elected. He is
always equal to the occasion, and has
always been winner,
