IN REGARD TO fHE MEDa1s
Late Mr. Simpson Gave Them to Mrs.
Kosher.


Mrs. c. ". Mosher. at whose house the
late Herbert Simpson boarded desires to
make a correction in regard to the med
ais. the decorations of honor possessed
BY the young man. She says that she
never stated as claimed in the paper,
that she did not know where the medals
were. When Mr.. Simpson was sick and
was laboring under mental anguish she
had taken care of him, and ne owed her
money and felt that he was without
friend anywhere. One day he gave her
his medals and said: Mrs Mosher,
viii you please take my medals and keep
them. You have done me great favors.'
Mrs. Mosher says that she took this
to be gift and she Will retain them
as she expects to hear from some rela-
tive who will want them.
In conversation yesterday Mrs. Mosher
said that Simpson had worried himself
into suicide. She says she believes that
he was not dishonest save in this one
instance and that he expected some sort
of an inheritance or other income to
meet this deficit in his clients accounts.
He frequently had the whole run of the
house." she said, when we were away;
when we had left our watches and pock-
etbooks and everything we had lying
about Of course nothing was ever dis
turbed. In his conduct in our house he
was perfect gentleman. His sickness
and worry previous to his death and the
bringing Of our names into the public
print since the affair have worried me
greatly"
Mrs. Mosher believes that Simpson
had intended to commit suicide in the
house, but that when he went upstairs
he saw her daughter and reflected what
the shock would be on her and the trou-
bic it would cause the family if he killed
himself there and so waited until he
reached the court house.

OLDEST BEADS ON EARTH
Exhibited by MI, Underwood, an Indian
in Wichita

Yesterday Mr. Asbury Underwood, a
Cherokee Indian, exhibited in the Eagle
office three dUll-purple, cylindrical beads
which he says are part of those beads
which William Penn gave the Indians
21S years ago in part payment for the
state of Pennsylvania.
Mr. Underwood said: Grandma has a
whole lot of these beads. and we try to
keep them in the tribe and whenever We
find them we will pay a dollar a yard
for them"
Mr. Underwood was brought to the
Eagle office by Mr.. James Woltz I'm
derwood lives at Bartlesville, Indian Ter
ritory, and is troubled with his lungs and
was on his way to Colorado for his
health. He attracted a good deal OF at
tention on the street because of his odd
dress which was after civilized kind in
everything save his vest, which was
brilliantly embroidered in beads.
Asked to show the Penn beads he went
down in his pocket and brought forth a
leather purse from which he extracted
the precious beads. together with a dime
Of the issue of 1911 which has been in the
possession of his family since that date.
EVERY year" said Mr.. Underwood,
I'VE have a church meeting, we Chero-
KEGS, and it lasts for fourteen days, and
we hold only one meeting a year"
Sort of a dancer"
mo; not a dance at all. 1t is a church
meeting. But 1 am sorry to inform you
that we admit only Indians. We always
take these beads with u.s.
Mr.. Underwood, while educated, was
very clear about why the Cherokees
took such an interest in the Pen beads,
when Penn dealt with the Delawares
and not with the Cherokees.
Anyhow" said Mr.. Underwood, che
was the first white man to deal fairly
with the Indians"
Underwood's name was printed on a
linotype and presented to him and he
wrapped it up as carefully as he did the
dime and the beads.
Mr.. Underwood had his head shaved,
except for two long braids from the
crown of his head
Mr.. Woltz, who has had a good deal
to DO with Indians, says that Underwood
speaks the best English ne ever heard
from a red man.
