KILLED b1 the Train.

Bird Cochran, a Cherokee who
lived about three miles northwest
Of town, on the vast side of Grand
river, was found dead on Tuesday
morning by the section men who
were going over the track, about
three miles west OF the railroad
bridge. He was literally cut to
pieces by freight train having
run over him. The head was
severed from the body, different
members OF which were scattered
about. The deceased was in Fort
Gibson the night before, and is
supposed to have taken a freight
train at the water tank near Grand
river. 1t Is thought he met death
by jumping off the train. He was

OLD STEAMBOAT DAYS.
with Every Boat That
Came Along.

When one steamboat comes along
side another on the Mississippi each
tries TO pass the other. That is an in
variable rule of the road.
1t is as much rule on the river as
1t is in driving. A man is out in light
rig and has before him, as far as he
can see, smooth, wide, unobstructed
dirt speedway. He has good, fresh,
| spirited horse that wants 10 go and
needs muscle to hold back.
Another outfit, under precisely sim
liar conditions, comes up alongside and
tries 10 whisk BY.
The man is not living who will keep
his pull on the lines and let the other
outfit throw the dust in his face. He
will give his horse its head, and there
will be race.
Neither driver will have started out
with the intention of racing. He may
have made up his mind TO eat dust
sooner than race, but let the other rig
whisk by and he's after it "halfoot,"
as the saying is.
II is the same way in steamboating.
No water Of another boat, especially if
the other boat is slower or more heavily
loaded.
1t is in the human blood, and no
amount Of danger from overtaxed boil
ers, narrowness of channel, sandbars,
shoals or snags win deter the fast boat
from showing its heels to the slower
boat.
I have seen passengers in the olden
time, when everybody. knew good deal
about the river and its dangers, come
up to the captain of the boat they had
taken passage on and say TO him, So
llcitously:
Now, captain, want you to assure
me Of one thing-that you are not going
to race. I've got my wife and children
on board, and don't want to expose
them to needless danger"
"Of course, we won't race" the cap
tain would answer, and he would mean
it when he said II.
In little while along would come
a slow, heavily-loaded scow Of boat
and try to pass us. The captain would
get busy, and so would the pilot, the
engineer and the firemen.
And, as the competing boat would
shade down to a small speck on the rear
horizon. the passenger who was so anx-
ious 10 keep his family out Of needless
danger would come up from below, wip-
ing pair OF bruised and dirty hands,
and. initiating his chest proudly, say to
the captain: "She never touched usl"
That passenger had been down on the
boiler deck during the race, passing
cordwood 70 the stokers to put under
the boilers.
That's how IL is with steamboat
racing.-St. Louis Republic.

COMMISSIONS PLANS.
Cherokee Enrolment Begins
Next May.

non. ANS DlXDy Returned w
the city from Washington Sunday
for a few days, having been called
home to look after important mat
ters before the Dawes commission.
AS to what was going on in Wash
ington, he stated that the commits.
sion, or at least three of its men,
bers, Messrs. Dawes, Bixby and
McKennon, were there to. confer
with the committees of congress
and the officials regarding their
work and to look after the appro-
priations for the coming fiscal year,
which Mr.. Bixby stated would be
$500, 600, of which 1896, 900 was
the appropriation proper and four
thousand was a contingent fund.
He also stated that congress was
very anxious TO wind up matters in
the Indian Territory and did not
cut down the appropriation with
view Of retrenchment, but simply
thought the commission had out
lined little too much work for the
coming year, and ielt as though
the amount appropriated would be
rnort a1viaahle
The commission seems to stand
in the best light and congress is
willing to give them all the assist
ance they can use in the way of APP
propriations. Mr.. Bixby stated
that the appropriation was as large
as they expected He spoke OF
several matters and measures be-
fore congress and OF the bill pre-
sented by Mr.. Stephens, Of Texas,
asking for the re.opening Of the en-
rollments. in his opinion the bill
will receive little il any recogni-
tion and was probably gotten up at
the instigation of certain lawyers.
The bill he believes will receive
the most recognition is one pre-
sented by Senator Platt, of Connec-
ticut, which makes provision for
the adjustment of leases and nom
citizens leases and also provis
ion in reference to Chickasaw and
Choctaw intermarried cases, allow
ing them to be settled in the court
of claims. Mr.. Bixby says the In
dian committees were very cour-
teous and took a great deal of in
terest in the affairs of this country,
the whole fifteen members of the
house committee being present.
He also says he expects to be in
Washington by the 14th, at which
time they will take up the matter
Of a Creek treaty with 8 delegation
from this nation, and that treaty
will likely be corsumated within
a few days, and, in his opinion,
ratified by the first Of March. Con-
gress is willing to make any fair
treaty.
Mr.. Bixby also spoke Of Chero-
kee matters and said the Cherokee
treaty would again be taken up
with a del> alton from that nation
in Washington. In regard to the
Cherokee nation. Mr Bixby states
that the enrolment will begin
