The Indian famines have afforded
coin collectors many opportunities
to acquire rare and old coins, which
have lain buried for a great number
of years. The native has always
shown a very grave suspicion of
banks, and has usually preferred to
bury coins in what was considered a
safe spot. Those hiding places are
revealed by father TO son, and the ac-
cumulations sometimes go on for
generations. In dire extremity the
hoard has to be trespassed on; coins
which have long since become ex-
ceedingly rare are thus brought to
light, and are eagerly snapped up by
collectors. Many of them are being
sold in London at the present time.

QUESTION OF LAW.
Note Drawn Under Cherokee Law
Contested as Being Invalid.

The suit instituted by Jim Lacy
a fullblood Cherokee, against Jesse
Rowe and Thomas Moore to re-
cover s115 90 due on promissary
note, came up for second hearing
in the Com missioner's court yes
terday.
As in the first hearing, the jury
failed to agree. The point at is-
sue that has divided two juries, is
the right of the plaintiff to recover
on note made under the Chero-
kee laws that we're abolished by
the Curtis act.
The note, which is for 5000. car
ries interest at IL per cent
which, under the Federal law, is
usurious, but which, under the
Cherokee law was a legal rate.
The defendants claim that the
annullment of the Cherokee laws
makes the interest usurious and
that the fact that it was drawn un-
der the then existing rate does not
affect its alleged invalidity.
The time for the rehearing has
not been set by the court.
