Is member of the Societa Italiana di Mu-
tue Succorso, of this city, yesterday filed
petition in the Supreme Court of the
District asking that that organization be
restrained from depriving him of his
rights of membership
He states that in January, 1900 he was
duly admitted to membership in the So
ciety and has since faithfully observed
and obeyed its rules and laws and paid

charges against him at a meeting of the
society held in May last. On June 8, he
states, he was notified by the secretary

effort was made to eXpel him from mem
bership on the identical charges upon
which he had been previously acquitted
That meeting. the complainant saws. he
understands was attended by only small
number of the members of the society
Since then, he states he has been denied
admission to the meetings of the organi-
cation.
The court Is asked to compel the officers
of the society to restore Caruso's name 10
the list of members. He is represented
by Harry G.. Kimball and William Henry

THE OKLAHOMA TOWN SITES.
Lots Disposed of at LawtOn Bring
N414,S45,


The selling of lots at the town site of
total amount OF money received by the
Government for these sites was Sil4,S45.
This is a larger amount than was real
lied from the combined sales of town lots
at Anadarko and Hobart, which brought
the Government slsS, ,455, and sl32, 1888 re-
spectively.
When it is stated that these 800 acres of
land have advanced in price from sl.25 an
acre, or s400 for the whole site to nearly
81 800 an acre since last May, the phe-
nomenal jump in values can be more
easily realized. This appreciation in val
ues is entirely due to the selection of this
location for county seat by the Gov
ernment Until last May the sites of
Lawton. Anadarko, and Hobart had moth
ing to distinguish them from the sur
rounding country, typical Indian lands of
wild and absolutely undeveloped prairie.
When the sites We're fixed upon the
nearest railway was thirty miles distant;
by the time the lots were staked off and
the sales begun, tire road had crept ten
miles nearer and prices had begun to
rise.
1t was in May last that Assistant Land
Commissioner William A. Richards pro-
ceeded to Oklahoma, by direction of the
Secretary of the Interior for the purpose
of subdividIng the lands ceded to the
United States by the Comanche, Kiowa.
Apache. Wichita, and affiliated tribes of
Indians into three counties and selecting
sites for county seats in them. The three
counties We're named Comanche Kiowa,
and Caddo counties, after Indian tribes
who ceded the lands-the body of Incians
known as the Wichita and affiliated
bands" being composed principally of
Caddos
Three hundred and twenty acres Of land
were designated in each county for a
county seat and laid off In town lots
These We're sold at public auction in Au-
gust. the last sales being made Satur-
day with the results stated.
This Is the first time that the Govern
ment has disposed of county-seat sites in
this manner and the results are more
than satisfactory to the Government Of
fcials.

TO DIVIDE THE ESTATE.
Application for Partition I'm the Al
berta Stewart VIII Case.

Litigation involving the settlement of
the estate of the late Alberta Stewart,
sixteen years Of age, who died on July is
last, leaving property valued at $4,000,
was begun yesterday in the Supreme
Court of the District. The complaina nts
in the proceedings filed in equity are AL
bert Stewart and Anna Belle Stewart,
uncle and aunt of Alberta Stewart; and
Andrew Stewart, of the District of CO.
lumbia and Howell Stewart, heirs at law
of the deceased. The defendants are An
drew Stewart, Oliopyle. Pa: Leila Stew
ART; Augusta S. and Charles 3. Shirley;
Andrew s., Olive S., Charles E, and Eli
3. Swearingen; Redford w. Walker and
Fleming J. Lavender, trustees; and Mary
+. Lewis.
The filing of these proceedings recalls
the placing on file in the Office of the Reg
lister OF Willis for the District of Colum-
bia. some weeks ago. of a paper writing
purporting to be the last will and testa-
ment of Alberta Stewart. The document
is said to be in the handwriting of Alber-
ta Stewart, but was not dated nor signed
by her. By the terms of the document
the testatriN left her estate to her uncle
and aunt, the complainant, and her cous-
in. Frank Stewart
1t Is stated in the complaint that Alber-
ia Stewart left a last will and testament,
but that 1t is ineffective as to her real
property, because she was under eighteen
years of age at the time of her death. II
Is further stated that she left no child,
father, brother or sister, and no grand
father on the part of her father. There
were surviving. however. the following
named descendants of her grandfather:
Andrew Stewart. of OIiopyIe, Pa, and Al
bert Stewart, who are the only children
of her grandfather; Andrew Stewart of
the District of Columbia and Howell
Stewart, another of the defendants.
The complainants state that they are
advised that. as heirs of Alberta Stewart.
they are entitled to the following division
of her real estate: Albert Stewart one
fourth: Andrew Stewart of Oliopyle, Pa,
one-fourth: Andrew Stewart, of the Dis
trict of Columbia one-eighth: Howell
Stewart. one-ei2hth. and Augusta S. Shir-
ley. Andrew S. Swearingen, Charles E.
Swearingen. and Eli 3. Swearingen, one
sixteenth each.
Alleging as a cause the divers resi-
dences aud interests of the heirs, and the
further fact that the relations between
som, of them are very strained, and be-
fause Of the mental incapability of An
drew Stewart, of Oliopyle. Pa, the COM
plainants ask the court TO order sale of
the property, and to divide the proceeds
according TO the respective interests of
the parties to the litigation. II is esti-
mated that the real estate left by Alberta
Stewart is worth over s6Q.0o0 The court
Is also asked to appoint a receiver TO take
charge of the estate. pending the final
disposition of the matter by the court
Fulton Lewis is named as counsel Cor
the complainants.

THOUSAND DOLLAR BILL FOUND
COlOred Man Receivers the Money
Where He Dropped 1t.

| After long search for a missing 81 600
| bill, just drawn from the Lincoln Ma
| tionai Bank, Alexander Walker was yes
terday relieved to find that the pre-
cious piece of paper had been found
on the floor beside a table at his
| home, where he had counted the money.
| Walker is a colored man of considerable
| means. Besides keeping a large grocery
and provision store at IS n Street south
| west, where he lives, he owns a number
of huckster wagons and employs num-
| Der of men.
OF late he has made several purchases
of real estate Yesterday after concluding
| a bargain for a certain piece of property
he went to the bank to draw out s. 100
with which tor make the first payment.
Albert S. Galley, one of the bank tellers,
was at the window and gave him 81. 900
bill, $500 in so bills, and sa0o in smaller
bills. Walker counted the money and
rolling It up placed it in his trousers
pocket and took car for home.
From the moment that he put the roll
into his pocket until he withdrew it at
his dining room table he kept his hand
on the money as a safeguard On count
ing it again the 81, 600 bill was not to be
found. He hurried back to the bank, but
was unable TO obtain any satisfaction
and going to Police Headquarters re-
ported to the detectives that he had been
robbed.
Detective Weldon accompanied him to
the bank. where Mr.. Galley stated that
he had given the man the money as had
been described. Mr.. Galley added: While
Walker was counting the $40 bills / saw
the 81 600 bill lying on one side. / had occa-
sion to turn to the books for a moment,
and when l again looked around Walker
was putting the money into his pocket.
There were no other customers IN the
bank at the time and no one was near
where Walker was counting his money"
On the advice of the detectives Walker
was about starting for the newspaper
Offices to insert an advertisement offer
ing 800 reward for the return of the
money. when word was received from his
wife that she had found the money beside
the dinner table, where he had been
counting it. Walker was full of apologies
and left for his home in an exceedingly
happy frame of mind.

Charles and Andrew Butler, two broth
ers found on the verge of starvation and
suffering with malarial fever about .
o'clock Monday night in shanty on the

tai. Charles Butler is rapidly convalesc-
Ing under the treatment of the physicians,
and his early restoration to health is ex-
pected. Andrew Butler is still in a de-
lirious condition and but little hope can
be entertained of his recovery.

tion of the distressing story called at the
hospital yesterday ana rendered assist
ance. Up to the present time, however
nothing can be done for them. A sister
of the sufferers was also at the hospital
yesterday afternoon and remained with
