New York, April S.-Haying taken a
arge quantity of American exhibits for

Court will not be a unanimous
one; two, and possibly three. Of
the members will join in a minor
ity opinion.
1t is understood that the decis-
ion will sustain the opinion of the
Court Of Claims, handed down
nearly two years ago, in which it
was held that the Wichita and
affiliated bands of Indians, under
treaty agreements, held only q
possessive title in the lands oc-
cupied BY them, and that the
Choctaws and Chickasaws had
never parted with the legal title
TO the lands in dispute. The
Court OF Claims sustained the
validity Of the treaty OF October
Is, 1920, by which the Ohoctaws
and Chickasaws acquired posses.
sion Of this territory, and held
that the treaty Of 1866, by which
the wichitas and affiliated bsnds
of Indians secnred the right to
locate GA the lands, gave them q
possess.s title only, vesting the
final title to the lands in the Unit.
ed States int trust for the Choc-
tsws and Chickasaws. q
1t was held, however, that the
possessive title carried with il,
when the existing conditions were
disturbed by the breaking up oi
the tribal relations, individual
'allotments. The residue of the
land, however, belonged to the
'Choctaws and Chickasaws.
NEW COMPLICATIONS,
The decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States on this
question will raise new complica-
tions with reference to the open
ing up of the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache country. Although
only a small portion of the land
of the Kiowa and Comanche
country arises with relation to
the entire territory in dispute.
The Choctaws and Chickasaws
claim the same title to all the
lands ON the Kiowa, Comanche
and Apache reservations that they
had 10 the lands occupied by the
wichitas and affiliated bands.

Under the terms Of the recent

shat the sum Of sl,O0O,OOO should
be placed in the trsasury of the
United States TO the credit of the
Kiowa, Comanc4e and Apache
Indians in payment for all residue
lands. Mr.. fStshley, the repre-
sentative of the Choctaw Indians
at Washington, has informed the
Globe Democrat correspondent
that his clients. will not accept
this amount, and that the govern
ment will be compelled to enter
into a treaty with the Choctaw
aud Chickasha Indians before the
country can be thrown open to
settlement. This would require
time, aud it is doubtful whether
a treaty could be agreed on and
ratified by Congress within the
next two years. Thus; It would
appear that the time for the open

DISAPPEARANCE
IN A MYSTERY
One Of the RixlOrd Brothers,
Actors, Is Strangely
Missing

One Of the most mysterious disap-
pearances that has occurred for q num-
Der OF years. happened between Scran-
ton and Wilkesbarre on Tuesday night.
when one of the RiXford brothers,
who were TO have appeared at the
Opera House last night, left the train
and has not been heard of since.
The men, who are acrobats, were on
their way from Scranton to this city.
and upon arriving at Wilkesbarre, the
younger brother got off the train for n
few moments. and disappeared as com
pletely as n the earth had swallowed
him up.
Although the performers are not
really brothers. they are much attach
ed 10 each other. and tho elder RiX.
ford is greatly worried at his com
panica's mysterious disappearance. He
has telegraphed to all nearby cities re-
Questing information Of the missing
one, but so far has received no word
concerning his whereabouts.
No reason can be assigned for the
young mans disappearance, as he was
of temperate habits.

The hottest fellowships, the most
sacred relations, the devinest
felicities known to men on this
earthly life are the fellowships,
relations, felicities and duties of
home life. There is no other word
that awakens such tender recol-
lections, about which there clus-
ters such sacred memories, which
has power to stir the human soul
to its profoundest depths like the
word home. How this conception
of the future life dispels the fan
ciful and irrational! Whatquiet-
ing, comforting thoughts it in
spires! As the far wanderer turns
with deep longing toward the old
home of childhood's happy days,
so we heart wanderers in q cold
and unfriendly world turn with
hope toward our eternal home.
