Steve Ch%ristovich, with his left eye

charge of incor1igibility. Steve is the son
Oh Michael Christovich, n was accused
by Michael of having stayed away from

several other nights. Michael also
charged the boy with having stolen a
watch. but he could not say when he
turned the rtick. The father gave his tes-
tamony Through an interpreter.
Steve, come up here!" said the Judge,
addressing the boy.
Steve complied.
You can make a statement If YOU de-
sire" said the judge.
We'll, judge, it is just like this: I
hired out to work for a mn on a ranch
and he wanted me to put in eighteen
hours a day-from 4 a. m. until 10 o'clock
at night. I refused to do it and they are
mad it,"
What about that watch ?"
IA tall, dark complexioned man stole
watch from the highest house on
the hill at the right side of the railroad
track, at Woodville, and gave it to me
to soak. I soaked it, getting $3.50 on
it, and gave him the money.

Attorney Daniel Yancey old the court
that Steve. was n of the best trap pull
lers in the employ of the Butte Rod and
Gun club. and the, club did not wish to
lose him.. The boy worked, he said, when
he had a chance, having been known to
even carry the hod.
The judge discharged the BOY, but in
so doing gave him a lecture. He said he
did not blame him for not working 18
hours a day. He expressed the belief that
Steve was not a bad boy, and Steve
smiled.
The attorneys for Frank Cuban, charg-
ed with having been too intimate with
Lille Benz, a minor, attempted to knock
out the information against the prisoner
today. The county attorney informed
Judge Clancy that the information was
a o of the one filed aginst Edward
Mahoney, and as it had been pronounced
good and the defendant was serving a
term in the penitentiary the Gullan in
formation ought to be good.
The attorneys for Gullan alleged that
six different allegations had been made
in the information.

Clancy today to defend Charles Verona,

of Indians enough wood alcohol to bring

IN JAIL FROM CHOICE.

Reason Why Mrs Weare Languishes in td q
Bastile.
Concerning the case of Mrs Weare
the fair defendant states that she is no,
in Jail because of her inability to furnish
bail. Indeed, it is stated that the com
planning witness, Capt, w. E. Davis
the man who swears that Mrs Weare
attempted his life. has expressed will,
ingness to furnish bail. Certain it is
that Captain Davis had a long chat with
her at the Jail both yesterday and today.
There are quite number of Boulder
ladies who take Mrs Weare's side in
this controversy, claiming that she has
been more sinned against than SHINING.
Mrs Weare considers herself or wants
the public to consider her as a much
abused woman. In pursuit of this policy
she prefers the Jail to bond and her
liberty. That's her business and may
have some weight with the jury it the
case ever comes to trial.

days business here today. Ninety.
three families were enrolled.

sulting with Attorneys W. W.

Alter consulting with the Chero.
kee authorities this morning the
commission announced that the
Freedman roll would not be made
at present. The commission will
proceed to make the Freedman
roll early next spring, aud require
Freedmen TO enroll at proper
places. Dates of enrolment of
Freedmen will be announced early
next spring The commission will
appoint places for making the roll.
1t is the intention Of the COM
mission to appoint times and
places for enrolling Freedmen
citizens of the Cherokee nation;
other citizens will not be enrolled
at these places. Fl. Gibson and
Hayden may be two of the places.
The darkey played fullblood on
the commission this morning and
not single one appeared for en-
rollment and they did not know at
the time that the enrolment of
Freedmen had been postponed.
No contest will be made on the
right OF Caroline Pralher to enroll,
but all her children living in 1887
will be contested as they were not
admitted in the decree admitting
Caroline Prather. This will be an
interesting case. J.C. STARR.

Sunday Base Bali.

As the position taken by the
Chieftain and Muskogee Times on
the subject of Sunday ball playing
is being discussed pro and con by
other Indian Territory papers,
please allow me few words on
the pro side Of this question.
1t is not a question of how much
money town, ball team and rail.
road will make out Of It, but is IL
a violation Of the fourth command.
mentY That it is we believe very
few people will deny. Then it is
immorally, and money or pleas.
ure gotten immorally will in the
end prove to be a curse to individ.
uals and communities. "The
wages Of sin is DEATH" anil "be
sure your sin will find you out. 4"
"He that soweth to the flesh
(money getting and pleasure seek
ing contrary to the moral law)
shall Of the flesh reap corruption. ("
Our American people are fast
becoming a nation Of sabbath
breakers. Even members of the
church are often found patronizing
Sunday base ball games. We pre-.
sumo no right thinking man or
woman will deny that bunting,
fishing and pic nicing on Sunday
are sinful. We believe the Sun.
day base ball games to be no less
SO. A man who will defend vio-
lations Of the moral law is not a
friend to the best interest of his
town and people,
Christians, "let your light so
shine that others may see your
good works." etc.

COMMISSION WORK.
Progress of Cherokee Census
freedman Roll.

Two members Of the United
States commission to the five civil
lied tribes, Colonel Thomas b.
Needles and Major Clifton r.
Breckenridge, have been for more
than four weeks enrolling citizens
Of the Cherokee nation at places
previously scheduled. The dis
tricts in which the commission has
been engaged, contain no freed.
man citizens, and few fullblood
Cherokees applied. In enrolling
the fullblood Cherokees and inter-
married white citizens of the
Cherokee nation, the various rolls
OF the Cherokee nation so posi-.
lively identify the applicants that
a resort to extensive testimony is
seldom necessary. 1t has become
quite appearant to the commission
that the freedmen should be en-
rolled alone and apply at the place
Of enrolment in the district in
which they reside because their
basis OF enrolment is not on any
previous roll made by the Chero-
kee nation, but under the provis.
ions of section nine Of the treaty
Of 1866, made by the United States
with the Cherokee nation. Under
this treaty the former slaves Of
the Cherokess, the freedmen who
were in the Cherokee nation at the
time Of the rebellion, and who
were here at the date of making
the treaty or returned within six
months after its promulgation, and
their defendants are entitled to
enrolment on the final rolls of the
Cherokee nation Tor a per capita
share in the final distribution Of
the lands and moneys of the tribe,
provided, such freedmen showed
continuous residence In the Chero-
kee nation, or in other words, had
not forfeited their citizenship. The
Cherokee nation contains nine dis.
tricts and the freedmen are congre-
gated in two or three OF these dis
tricts. The commission deemed il
better for the freedmen, and that
the ends Of justice from every
stand point would be better subserv
ed by making several appoint
ments early next spring for the
exclusive purpose of enrolling
freedmen. Several rolls Of freed.
men have been made, but congress
has accepted none Of them as au-
thentic. Itis thought by everybody
that the last roll, known as the
Clifton roll, contains more than
thousand names Of freedmen who
are not entitled TO citizenship, and
it is the purpose now to purge this
roll OF these names and to make
fair and honest roll, and the course
now adopted is absolutely neces.
5ary to efIectuate tha. end.

Oklahoma is now bowling to be
taken in by the Indian Territory;
her refrain is now quite different
from what 1t was when the ques-
ton was sometime ago simply
whether "Oklahoma" should be,
or not be. Then the argument Of
these territorial gentlemen before
congress was that "Oklahoma"
was amply able to put on the ter
riiorial iobe, and even wear the
crown OF statehood, all alone in
the American union. But no
sooner bad she wiped the Indians
out, and took her seat on the Dor.
der as territory, than she ac-

original pretenses and begun to
imporlune Tor help to carry on
