Negotiation of New Agree
ment With the Govern
ment Urged.
Continued from Yesterday


The Cherokees have long age
acquiesced in the policy OF the
United States relating to the In
dians Of this territory. II is mat
ter OF detail in which we differ,
and upon that we have a right TO
be heard, as 1t involves all to us.
/ earnestly desire that your inter.
ests be protected. Ibelieve it can
be better done by an agreement
than by laws of congress. The
people should be, conciliated in
this matter. The country is theirs
and they should be permitted to
take hand in shaping the course
a1d guiding the direction of the
coming change. The drastic laws
of Congress, and ruling Of the de.
partments find us unprotected and
in an unsatisfactory condition in
many ways too evident for me to
mention. What we know. what
we feel and what we see cannot be
enied.
For many years the United
States Government has had COM
mission in this country with the
object Of securing agreements with
the Eve civilized tribes for the pur
pose Of individualizing all COM
mon holdings, preparatory to merg-
ing all Indians into American ciii
zenship, Our system Of land ten
ure is different 20 that in operation
among all intelligent, progressive
and civilized people the world
over. Our customs and institu
tions are not such as will keep us
in the foremost ranks Of modern
civilization.

Common sense teaches If we
would be one people We must have
a fraternal union of hearts. A
smoldering hatred and hostility at

PEACEMAKER SHOT TO DEATH.
Two Men will Probably Die and a Third,
Deputy sheriff. Is seriously Wound-
ed-The Fight started ina Res
taurant

Welsh, w. Va, Oct. S.--As a result
of one of the worst tragedies enacted
in this little city in years, two men
are fatally wounded and one serious
ly. The shooting occurred III the
Palace Hotel cafe. The fatally in
jured are:
Robert Hufford,a prominent mer-
chant, shot three times.
DIR. G. r. Mcdaniel, one of the best
known physicians in the county.
Seriously wounded:
John Waldron, deputy sheriff, and
highly respected.
Shortly before midnight Hufford
was taking a lunch in the hotel cafe,
when crowd of strange men entered,
apparently intoxicated. They passed
several remarks which Hufford took
as insults, and he hurled heavy
glass at one of them and closed in for
fist encounter At this iuncture
Deputy Sheriff john Waldron rushed
in to seperate the participants in the
battle, as also did DIR. Mcdaniel, who
was seated at near table. Hufford
was jerked rather roughly by the
deputy sueriff. and he quickly pulled
gun, which he turned on the
officer. Waldron is uick with a
gun, and in an instant also brought
his revolver into action. Shots were
rapidly exchanged, and the usually
quiet little cafe was a scene of the
widest excitement.
DIR. Mcdaniel, being warm friend
of both men, rushed into the fray,
pleading cessation of hostilities,
only to be pierced through and
through with 3S caliber bullet. The
firing continued. and Huffo,d was
the next to fall. He was shot three
times, the last bullet penetrating his
left breast. Deputy Waldron, al
though shot, was able to walk from
| the cafe.
The details of the tragedy were soon
spread and the excitement was in
tense, friends of both parties being
loud in their remarks OF praise and
condemnation II looked as thong h
another tragedy might occur. Cooler
heads prevented this and Sheriff
Waldron was placed under guard at
the hotel, W lille the two fatally in
jured men were carried to physi-
clans office.

CUTTING HILL AWAY.
Obviating the Dangers of Landslides on
the Ii. s. q.

Connellsvllle, Oct. 10. "A force of
men under Railroad Foreman Thomas
Neville, is engaged this week in tear
ing down the high hills which rise
from the B. and o. tracks between
Jackson Mines and Hickman Run.
The famous hills, which have been a
menace TO the B. and o. K II. Co.
ever since the road was constructed
through from Pittsburg to Connells-
Vile, will soon have large portion
of their crest removed and dumped
over in the river. There has always
been more or less trouble between
jackson Mines and Hickman Run, on
account of landslldes and MANY trains
have been wrecked or held up by huge
masses of earth and rock siding down
on the railroad tracks. This danger
has increased ten fold within the past
few wears, since the devastating mine
fire has been eating its way through
jackson mines.
