A FAMOUS TURKEY HUNTER.
Mr. Nestor Bunch Back From Trip to the
Cape Fear Country,

Mr.. Nestor Bunch, Wake county's most
famous sportsman, is just back from a
hunting trip on the Cape Fear and while
there he had royal sport, killing four
gohblers in one day

Not Bishop Cheshire at All.

The Tarboro Southerner denies the
story recently reprinted in these columns
from the Baltiore Sun in regard to the
attempted hazing of Bishop Cheshire when
a student in a Northern college just after
the war 1t adds:
The Southerner is informed by those
who know. that the Bishop did not serve
in the last war at all, and the ovCrccat
referred to in this article was not a
Confederate uniform, but was simply a
light gray spring garment. At the conclu-
sion of the war Bishop Cheshire was not
more than Is years of age. He was a pupil
OF Captain r. II. Gatlia in 1868, and was
then about thirteen years old"

report placed the available assets of the
penitentiary at considerably over $780,

yesterday shows that the true figures are
$50. 900 short of that amount.

HOTEMA GUILTY OF MURDER,
ChOctaw Indian Who Killed Members
of His Own Tribe.

A dispatch to the New York World from
Paris, Texas, yesterday says: The Rev. Sol
ONION Hotema, full-blooded Choctaw,
highly educated, and once a judge district
attorney and Presbyterian minister, was
convicted of murder in the first degree in
the federal court here today and will be
sentenced to death.
Hotema, despite his education and ex-
perience. believes in witches. and in April
last exterminated several men and women
of the Choctaw nation with shotgun on
the ground that the women were witches
and the men workers of witchcraft.
The clergyman was acquitted at one
trial upon the belief that he was insane.
and a second trial resulted in a mistrial
Hotema was educated at the Presbyte-
rian college at Roanoke, Va, and after
studying three years was graduated and
ordained to the Presbyterian ministry. Re-
turning to the Choctaw nation, he was
elected judge of Kiamitia county, which
Office he held several terms. Later he be-
came district attorney and a member of
the nations council. He was delegate to
the recent general assembly of the Presby-
terrain Church at New Orleans.
There were several deaths from menin-
gifts in the nation, and Hotema concluded
that the witches were at work. He and
two young braves started on a witch hunt,
killing two women, one with child in her
arms, a boy and two men.

Important Branch.
collaborating work is one of the most
important branches of charitable work in
the District, not only because of
the amount of money expended in
this work, but because of the fact that the
future OF dependent children is very large
ly determined by the efficiency with which
the work of child-caring is performed, and
consequently, the character of many future
men and women depends largely on the
work done for them while they are de-
pendent children. This work is also one
of the most difficult branches of charitable
activity, and many unsolved problems are
connected Herewith. There has always, in
the past, been a lack of proper organiza-
ton in this work in the District of Column
bia, and in this respect the conditions to-
day remain far from satisfactory.
Deportation of NONRESIDENT Insane.
lone of the most important things under
taken by the board during the year was
the effort to have returned to their homes;
a number of the nonresident insane per-
sons confined in St. Elizabeth Asylum.
These people had been accommodating there
for years, as no appropriation had ever
been made to cover the expenditure of re-
turning them to their homes Their num-
bers were constantly being added to, as al
most every week some nonresident cases
are committed to the asylum. Because of
the fact that many of these persons have
been away from their homes for so long,
and because of the further fact that COM
munities generally are not anxious to have
such people returned to them, the board
found great difficulty in locating and max
ing arrangements for the reception of some
Of these people at their former homes. Elk
tensive correspondence with the officers Of
state boards of charities, public institutions,
charity organization societies, police Of
f1cers and others, was necessary in tracing
these people and determining their resi-
dence.
During the year the board succeeded in
having removed from the asylum sixteen
of such nonresident cases, and at per
capita cost of $500 per annum this repre-
sents saving of $3.50 each year for MAIN
tenance. Most of these people would have
stayed in the institution for many years,
because nearly all of them were hopeless
ly incurable. There are still over a hum
dred nonresident cases in the asylum, and
some new cases are being sent there al
most every week. The board will con-
tinue it's efforts along the lines indicated
and will return nonresidents to their homes
just as quickly as their legal residences can
be determined"
