that judge his trip North was without

An examination OF the body shows that
the bullet entered the body directly over
the heart and ranging diagonaIly through,
passed out at the hack under the right
shoulder. 1t Is supposed that the aorta
was pierced, but that will not be definitely
determined until the post mortem today.
No time has been set for the inquest,
but 1t will probably be held tomorrow.

IN connection with the new electric

farm servants came TO Aberdeen to
spend New Years day. Arriving by

way to the terminus of the electric

at the new creation with much won

Of the treaty might result. A cir
cumstance which would be very
unfortunate for the Indian Terri
tory. i don't believe that Chief
Porter would call the Greek coun-
Gil to consider treaty SO amend
ed. The refusal Of the govern
ment to guarantee title to the
land for the reasons given by the
secretary is unreasonable, for it
had guaranteed the same lands to
the Greek tribe and there should
be no reason why it should not
be guaranteed to the Creek indi-
vidual. Nothing having transpir-
ed since the patent was issued to
the Creeks to relieve the obliga-
tions of the government in the
original guarantee, to me it would
seem folly on the part of the
Creeks to change clear title for
clouded title"

THE BIGGEST EXPLOSION.
Ago, and Was Horribly
Disastrous.

The recent explosion at the arsenal
In johannesburg is by no means the
first experience that the Beers have
had Of the frightful powers of high ex-
plosives.
On February 10, 1896, some 55 tons
of blasting gelatine and 90 cases of
detonators were lying in train stand
ing in siding situated some 300 yards
TO the west of johannesburg station.
Owing to the carelessness of a points
man of the Netherlands South Africa
railway, a second train was mad
yertently run into the first. The ex-
plosion that followed battles all de-
scription.
1t suffices to say that the fearful en-
ergy of the liberated gases tore huge
trench 300 feet long. 90 feet deep and
65 feet wide in the stiff clay soil; that
pieces of the engine were Blown more
than mile away; that upward of 80
people were known to hare been killed,
white Inc ghastly heap of mangled
liribs, which flled upward of 20 sacks,
probably accounted for many others
who were passing strangers and could
not, therefore, be identified at the time.
Needless to say, perhaps, all the adj
joining home property was reduced to
matchwood and some GOO people were
rendered homeless.-N Y. World.

SINISTER MOTIVES.
[. B. Bell Discusses the Oil
Lease Question.

lOliOWlhS othpOAh OAiS ANA PNHAiSe''ASh
since his return from Washington
where he has been in the capacity
of delegate negotiating the agree
ment with the Dawes commission.
1t will prove of interest to Chero-
KEGS, as it touches upon feature
of the agreement that is causing
any amount Of trouble:
ain so far as | was able to learn
from the members of the senate
there was no particular objection
to any part of the Cherokee agree
ment in so far as 1t was understood
by them. The secretary's recon-
mendation for change in sections
Ten and Eleven is about the only
opposition, if that can be called
opposition, to the ratification OF
the agreement. Just what the sec
retary is aiming is hard to surmise.
He may be, and no doubt is, actu-
ated in so far as he is personally
concerned, by an earnest desire to
help the Indians, but to locker
on there seems to be sinister pur-
pose in these recommendations.
The secretary had recommended
paragraph in the treaty during the
making Of il that provided for the
protection of leaseholds held in the
Cherokee nation, which was re-
jected and does not appear in the
treaty. Now these leaseholds are
generally believed to be in the pos
session and ownership OF the
Standard Oil Co., or some outside
syndicate. Failing in securing the
recommendation OF these lease
holds in the treaty by direct refer
ence, it looks as il the Standard
Oil Co. had worked its rabbit foot
on the secretary and proposes, by
a circuitous route, to reach the
point they failed to reach by direct
route.
"While the secretary has no per-
sonal interest in this matter and
has, / believe, an earnest desire to
protect the Indians, he has been
misled and has not given the ques-
tion sufficient consideration to see
lis reaching. No doubt he is un-
aware of the Standard Oil Co. IS re-
lations to the so.called leases. He
being in Washington City, I,5OO
miles away from the country, 1t
would be impossible for him to
give the subject consideration as
the court would right here in the
country where it could call wit
nesses and take the testimony and
know all about it. The leasehold
proposition was an afterthought
in making the agreement. 1t was
not sprung on the Creeks who
made their agreement before the
Cherokees did, nor was it put in
the proposition of the Dawes COM
mission to the Cherokees, but was
added afterwards, as the Dawes
commission informed US, at the in
stance Of the secretary Of the inte-
rior. Taking this and that one
would naturally suppose there was
a nigger in the woodpile. AS to
what congress will do with the
treaty is conjectural on my part,
but from my observation and
conversation with men in charge
of the matter, and these were in
position to know, it appears that
the Cherokee treaty has easy sail
ing. The objections Of the secie-
tary to the Creek treaty are so
numerous and the changes so rad
ical that should congress amend
