DICK FIELDS DEAD
A Prominent FuIlbIoOd Cherokee
Politician Passed Away


Politician Passed Away
Mr. Richard II. Fields was found
dead in his bed last Thursday
morning. Mr. Fields had made
his home for some time at the
home of Hon. Washington Swim
mer, of Saline district. 1t is said
he went to bed on that evening
feeling well as usual, and no cause
can be assigned for his sudden
death, other than a shot in the
head received several years ago at
this place, from which he had had
several spells resembling epilepsy.
At the time OF his misfortune, at
the hands of would be assassin,
he was doing a thriving mercantile
business at this place, in partner
ship with Captain William Turner,
but, on recovering, he had lost all
tact for business and soon went the
wall. He was about fifty years
old, though he looked to be mach
younger. He was elected to sew
eral responsible Offices under the
Cherokee Nation-National Audi
tor-the accounts Of which, during
the time he had charge of them
were found straight-and was e.
lected to serve an unexpired term
as Councillor from Saline district.
He was one OF the Advocates most
constant correspondents, and in
his last letter, three weeks ago,
wished to know what had become
of some of the old timers. He was
a fullblood Cherokee, but spoke
English more perfectly than many
half breeds and white men.
Though attentive to ladies before
he was shot, we never heard of his
waiting on one afterwards. Why
he never married was only known
to him.-Advoca,e.

Ths shooting sccured in Flint dis

WHITE ADOPTED CITIZENS
Their Rights Are No Longer
In Dispute.

Wagner, |. T., March "a. Ed
itor Chieftain. II notice that Sem
ator Platt is trying to amend the
Curtis law by inserting paragraph
allowing the white odopted citi-
zens of the Cherokee and other
nations to bring suit before the
court of claims to test their rights
to the ands and money Of the
nation. | can see no necessity for
the adopted whites Of the Chero-
'kee nation bringing suit, only for
.he money they failed to get out
of the strip payment, and not
many of them that I. have talked
with favor that-at any rate, that
should be an after consideration.
What is now needed worse than
any other one thing is settlement
of this vexed question, and if the
white adopted citizen and the Del
awares 60 into the court Of claims
it will stop this settlement for
some time.
The Curtis bill gives all citizens
the same rights. The treaty made
by and between the Dawes COM
mission and the Cherokee commits
sion and ratified by 2,000 major
ity vote Of the Cherokee people
gives equal rights to ali citizens
without regard to race or color.
Now why sue people who have
not denied our rights? | can see
no propriety in it.
The Cherokees have conceded
the rights Of the adopted citizen
since the decision of the court of
claims No. 17209, rendered March
A, 1894, and can be found on page
4l5 Message and Documents Inter-
ior Department, volume two,
1886, and sustained by the SUI
preme court Of the United States.
The Cherokees, with these lights
before them, said at iben last elec-
tion, when this was made an issue,
by the above stated vote that they
wanted no lawsuit, and conceded
the rights of the adopted citizens
as decided by the above decision.
At the time they were denied them
/ was in favor Of bringing suit be-
fore the court Of claims, but can
see no sense in sueing for some-
thing that has already been ten
dered, nor do | think that the con-
gress Of the United States, If they !
understood the situation. would
force the suit alter both parties
have agreed. / can see no other
motive in this than delay and ex-
pensc to the Cherokses and white
adopted citizens alike; and / am
opposed to the amendment, but if
the amendment becomes a law,
aud we are forced into this thing
by the congress OF the United
States against the will of both
parties, the Cherokees and adopt
ed whites, then I am in favor Of
calling a meeting Of the adopted
whites at some convenient place
and decide what we will do and
Who We viii get to do It as soon as

Copies Received of Recently Issued
rOclamati0ns.


The Postmaster General has received from
F. w. Vaille. director general of posts in
the Philippines copies of two undated
proclamations, one by the American peace
commissioners and the other by the insur-
gents, issued presumably just before the
last mail left the islands for the United
States. The American proclamation was OF
pacific character but warned the natives
that they had nothing to expect from con-
tinued opposition to the American occupa-
ton. 1t promised free Transportation home
to all insurgents who surrendered their
arms, and directed the confiscation of all
money and hemp belonging to the insur-
gent government. The natives were notified
to pay for everything they obtained from
the Filipinos In the way of food and sup
plies, and requested the natives to report
any case OF looting or extortion to the near
est military commander.
The Filipino proclamation, issued In reply
TO this. announced that for a period of ten
days amnesty would be extended to all
Filipino spies In the employ of the Ameri-
can forces IL they presented themselves to
the fnsurgent military civil authorities.
A single exception was made in the case OF
one Marcello Abinsay. who was denounced
as an outlaw beyond the pale, and a reward
was offered for his apprehension dead or
alive. while the death penalty was pro-
nounced against any one found in his COM
pany at the time of his capture The
proclamation further declared that all the
threats OF the Americans of pursuing the
insurgents to the hills were idle, as the
American forces were short of food and am
munition and had received no reinforce
mentS for many months.
