CURTIS ON THOMAS DECISION,

Some Things.

Congressman Curtis, Of Kansas,
author of the Curtis bill, was
recently interviewed at Washing
ton in relation to Judge Thomas,
recent decision that portion OF
the Curtis law was unconstitution-
al. Mr.. Curtis said;
II do not wish to appear as

Judge Thomas overlooked the
the case of Stephens et AL vs., the
Cherokee nation ct ak, decided by
the United States supreme court,
in which the court held that the
lands of the tribes were public
lands and their moneys public
moneys, and not to be held in
individual ownership, and that
the assertion by any particular
applicant that his right therein is
so vested as to preclude inquiry
into his status involves a contra
diction in terms. 1t is also likely
that Judge Thomas attention was
not called to the case Of the
Choclaw nation VS.. the United
States, decided BY the United
States court, the court holding
that the United States, when
congress chooses, has the right to
exert its legislative powers over
the Indian Territory "-Ex.

brute strength; and, of sudden, it
yielded. As II flew open the body of a
man lurched from the inside of the cab,
and before anyone could catch it tum-
bled in heap upon the pavement.
a low cry of horror escaped from the
crowd.
The claimants passenger was man
past middle age, neatly but plainly
dressed.
AS DR. Thurston and policeman
bent over the PROSTATE form, the re-
porter shot keen glance in the direc-
ton of the cabman, who stood staring
at the body with look of CHASTITY ter
ror in his bulging eyes.
Presently the physician started to
his feet with low exclamation of sur
prise.

liceman.
HE has been dead for some time"
replied the physician, impressivelyi
"the body is almost cold"
Been dead for some time?" echoed
the policeman.
"Yes; this man was shot. See therei"
As he spoke he pointed to red streak
which, starting from the left side Of
the dead mans coat, extended down
ward and marked the course Of the tiny
stream in which the life blood had
flowed to little pool on the floor of the
cab.

who turned Immediately to one of his
brother officers. Keep your eye on the
cabman, jim. Wen have to take him
in. And look out for the other man,
quick!"
Then, addressing the cabman, upon
each of whose shoulders policemans
hand was Immediately placed, he asked,
roughly:
"Who is this man?"
The cabman was completely sober
now. He stood, pale and trembling, be-
tween his two captors, as he replied sol

The policeman looked at the man in
blank amazement for an instant. Then
he turned away contemporary.
"All right, young Teller" he said,
you don't have TO confess TO me. But
guess you'll have chance TO tell that
story to judge and jury"
Then he proceeded to examine the
dead mans pockets. They were empty.

middle-aged individual, who gave his
name as DR.. Thurston and offered his
services rs a physician; the other was
young man with keen gray eyes,
who said nothing, but exhibited a re-
porter's badge.
The physician at once turned his
attention TO the cabman; felt him.
thumped him, pinched him; smelt his
breath; and then delivered his YER
diet:
mo bones broken. The slight
scalp wound doesn't amount TO any
thing. The man has been drinking
heavily, He is simply drunk"
The horse had by this time been
embarrassed and the cab had been
lifted upon its wheels again.
The reporter stood by n silent and
apparently listless spectator of the
scene.
DR.. Thurston turned to him:
Come along, Sturgis; neither you
nor are needed here; and if we do not
hurry, Sprague's dinner will have to
wait for us. 1t is a quarter to eight

Sturgis, with quiet conviction. lis that
every crime is its own historian; that
all its minutest details are written in
circumstantial evidence as completely

could be described by the criminal him

The reporter was a man of about 30,
whose regular features bore the I'M
mistakable stamp of intelligence and
refinement. In repose, they wore an
habitual expression of interpretive
concentration, which might have led
n careless observer to class Ralph Stur-
gis in the category of uimless dream
ers. But a single flash of the piercing
gray eyes generally suiliced to dispel
any such impressions; and told of keen
perception and underlying power. The
mouth was firm and kind, the bearing
