Shows That Williams
Death Was From
Natural Causes

A report reached Vinita Monday
evening that a man had been rob-
bed of a large sum of money and
murdered at Pryor Greek.

Greek.
Mr.. Williams drew 500 from
the bank at Pryor Greek Saturday
and had a sum estimated at be.
tween 5000 and 500 when he re-
Slred for the night.
In the morning, as he did not
arise, an entrance was forced into
the room and his lifeless remains
were found on the bed, while his
pockets contained only a few cents
over $40. DR.. Bristow made a
thorough examination and found
that death was the result of neu-
ralgia OF the heart.

FEMINIST THE TREATY.
Chief Burlington Declares il
Should Be Defeated.

Chief T. NJ. Burlington is in
Washington looking after the treaty
and other matters and gives out
the following interview printed in
Mondays Globe Democrat:
"My people are ready and will
ing to do what they can to facili-
tate the opening up of the Chero-
kee country. They are willing to
take their allotments and to pre-
pare themselves for ultimate citi-
zenship. But, in doing this, they
insist that they must not be de-
prived of any of their property or
legal rights.
"The treaty which passed the
house contains two provisions
which are particularly objectiona-
ble to my people. The first and
probably the most Objectionable
portion of the treaty relates to the
allotment of laud in severalty to
the Indians. 1t provides that
each member of family may take
an allotment of eighty acres Of
land. We know that we are en-
titled to more than that amount.
The Dawes commission has pro-
gressed sufficiently far in its work
of preparing the Cherokee rolls to
enable them to form a reasonably
accurate idea of the number Of
people in the Cherokee nation
who will be entitled to allotments.
The work is practically completed,
with the exception of the Chero-
kee freedmen. When these peo-
pie have been enrolled it will
bring Up the aggregate number of
Cherokee citizens entitled to en-
rollment to about $4,000.
"We have in the Cherokee ma
ton about 100000 acres of land.
1t is merely a question of mathe
matics to fiud out how many acres
of land each Cherokee citizen en-
rolled is entitled to. If there are
100000 acres of land and SO, 900
citizens, each man, woman and
child would be entitled to 166 23
acres of land, or more than twice
the amount authorized to he al
loted to the Cherokee people un-
der the provision of the treaty
which passed the house. We
want all of our lands, and any
treaty which does not give that to
US will, in my opinion, be rejected
by the Cherokee pc lple.

SPILLED SL0P.
A Team of Horses Got Gay
And Made Merry For a
Little While.

A team Of horses who look as if
they might have witnessed the
passing of the last century cele-
brated the day by getting frisky,
forgetting their old age and goin G
on a tear.
On NJ day they were fastened
to Dave Mitchells scavenger wag-
on and were standing by the Gem
restaurant with dropping eye-lids
and dished knees wondering if
Dave would turn over a new leaf
and try feeding them next century.
The idea acted as a rejuvenator
and their youthful strength re-
turned long enough for them TO
run away. They crossed the track
and dumped slop in an oderous
trail along the east side.
They recrossed near the electric
light works leaving the body of
the wagon and dragging the two
front wheels south on Wilson
street. By the Chieftain office the
tongue pulled out and, with the
single-trees knocking their heels,
the horses ran nearly a mile. One
OF the horses was scratched some
and Dave, while collecting the
wagon pieces. said that it was sat
least an eleven TO seven bet that

THE GYPSYS CARE
Failed to Correctly Read Her
Own Future Before
the Mayor.

Two gypsy females have been
working every gullible person they
meet for a small piece of money
on the fortune telling scheme.
One must cross their palm with
silver to make their prophecies
come true. That's the main point.
Then the gypsy "maidens" look
searchingly at the palms of your
hand and inform you that you are
going to have good luck during the
year; that you have enemies
whose slhemeS, however, to do
you i'll will be frustrated; you are
going to live a long time and get
much money. Yes, she loves you
although a dark haired man is try
ing to cut you out.
All that halderdash for a piece
OF silver.
Monday they followed a farmer
into the Peoples drug store and
talked 90 cents out of his pocket,
but they were arrested and fined
81. so for not having a license, just
as Ed Shan8han became interested.
When Marshal Ledbetter led the
women before Mayor Sheehan the
latter asked if they could read the
future. One of them disguised
her face with what she thought
was a sweet smile (but the urbane
mayor is above female blandish-
ments) and answered that they
were going to be dismissed.
"There's no silver In this, for
you l mean" retorted the mayor,
land that, l guess, is the reason
you're wrong. fine you $3.50"
The fine was paid but later one
of the women was heard cussin'
back when her husband was scold-
ing her for being a fool and getting
caught.
