MILLIONS AWAIT
The Cousins of Ii Esrg Chang Re-
siding in vinita.

A Russian eth Dologist. Vladi-
mir Bogoras, who has been study
ing the inhabitants of Ksmchatka
reports that he has discovered in
disputable connection between
the American Indians and the
Pales- Asiatic races on the Behring
Sea coast near Kamcbaika.
According to his theory, a few
thousand years ago, Japan, the
Philippines and Formosa, all
formed part Of nice dry boule-
ward between Asia and Alaska.
He has further discovered great
similarity in the languages and
Hydrologic Of the Asiaiics and the
Indians.
Following his deductions there
may be cousin Of Ii Hung Chang
living in Vinita. and Crszy Snake
may be the uncle of Aguinaldo.
The connecting link between the
Alaskan Indians and those of the
southern tribes has long been es.
ia ablished. so all that is necessary
to get cut ia on the deiunct Lis
millions is to prove the root of the
fami lily tree.

COMM ERCIAL CLUB.
Meeting Last Night an Enjoyable
Affair.

The Vinita Commercial club met
last night in the club rooms in thu
postoiiice building. More than
fifty members were present and
much interest was manifested.
Secretary Parker made an elabo-
rate report of the work of the club,
after which Attorney John B. Tur.
ner addressed the meeting at length
on the subject of single statehood.
Mr.. Turner's address was strong
argument in favor of statehood
with Oklahoma. The sentiment
of the Grub was not unanimously
in accord with tho speakers views
but respectful hearing was given
him by all. Ii was decided best
for the club to take no action as an
organisation in the matter of state
hood, the question being a politi-
cal one and forbidden in the by
laws of the club.
After an informal discussion of
matters pertaining to the work of
the club. an adjournment was
reached.
At the close of the meeting re-
freshments were served from the
Whitney restaurant.

RAPID F00TW0RK
And Deep Strategy Saved VIM. J.
Baber in Battle With Bovine
Yesterday.

VIM. j. Baber owns a calf, but
for thirteen minutes Yesterday
afternoon the calf owned Baber.
That ia, Baber followed orders
from the calf and the calf followed
Baber to see that they were full
filed.
The orders were filled TO the let
ter and Baber was filed with
Jumps and bruises Of wondrous
proportions.
The calf has been a pet but
tomorrow will be veal outlets, and
all on account of the following:
Yesterday at the noon hour, as
has been his wont, Mr.. Baber ad-
vanced upop his caIflets with
bottle, containing the MONDAY
substitute for the mother product
which was estray.
The calf after biting of The nip
pie, announced that he was in the
demijohn class and in joyful ex-
uberance landed on the Baber
anatomical equator.
A few meridians were jolted out
of position but Baber rose to the
occasion. So did the calf. and
with half hook changed his orbit
to starboard.
Once more did Baber arise,
likewise the juvenile bovine,
which executed bunch of Car
mencita foot movement in transit,
and concluded with a Dsrvish
whirl on the Baber anatomy
which was again prostrated.
What the end would have been

At the National Stockyards Bank
at East St. Louis, and Had an
Exciting Experience With
Gang of Robbers Mon

six masked men DrOkb INTO tuo
National Stockyscds bank. East
ST Louis. H., Monday night and
after capturing and gagging the
two night watchuen and fireman
at the steam plant, aud blowing
open the vaults with dynamite,
escaped with S. 900 in coin and
currency.
For nine hours the robbers were
at work upon the great steel vault
without interference.
Lee Philpot, one of the watch
men, resided here previous TO the
Spanish. American war and was in
the employ at different times of J.
q. Hall and Wm. Little. He en-
listed in the Roagh Riders and
since his discharge from the SER
vice has held the position with the
looted bank. His experience with
the robbers was OF the hair-raising
variety. de was standing in the
stockyards, near the Exchange
building. in which the bank is To-
Gated, when he wss addressed by
three men who sprang out OF a
fence corner with revolvers in their
hands. They said: I'VE want you,
Pnilpot." and with that overpow-
cred him before he could reach his
revolver. The three robbers took
Philpot 10 the composing room OF
the Daily National Stockyards Re-
porter nearby and laid him upon
the floor. He was bound hand
and foot and gagged with towels.
While lying there threeother men
came in.
philpot heard the leader of the
robbers say: Lets kill him."
He was deferred from doing this,
Philpot says. by the other robbers.
One of the six men was sent out
with injunctions TO secure the.oth-
ers. Albert Estep, the other bank
watchman, was caugat upon the
steps OF the Exchange building.
The robber went up to Estep Snd
addressed him by name. Think
ing it was friend Estep was taken
unawares, and when a revolver
was thrust into his face was not IN
shape for defense. Under threats
of death be was forced to 60 to the
composing room, where he was al
so bound and gagged.
After capturing the other en-
ployees Of the Exchange building,
the robbers started operations on
the vault, the doors OF which they
shattered with dynamite.
After obtaining the contents of
the sale. amounting 20 about 5000
in currency. the robbers departed.

CAMPRELI-rRAWFORn-

The Commonwealth of Virginia has
been shocked and outraged at the dis
graceful course of one Of her iurists-
Judge Campbell, OF Amherst county
in cowhiding Rev Dr.C II. Crawford
otter dismisSing the latter ON the
charge of contempt of court.
True Or. Crawford's caustic crit
icisms of recent decision of Judge
Campbell. in liquor case before him
were hard to bear and calculated 20
cause unpleasantness. but the laws of
Virginia amply protect every man
who has been libelled. Judge Camp
bell knew this. He knew that he was
committing a grievous wrong when
he assaulted DR. Crawford. lIe knew
that DR.. Crawford was physicalyuu
able 70 cope with his muscular form.
He knew that DR.. Crawford was "a
minister of the Gospel and indeed
the very recollection Of his own oath
of office should have caused him To-
have acted in a more manly manner.
He not only disgraced himself but
also the state. portion of whose
citizens have honored him by am
election TO the Bench and also TO "a
seat in the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES.
That he should be severely punished
there l. no donbt.
He has bedraggled the judicial cr-
mine by openly and fagrantlv com
uniting a breach of the peace. he
cannot. as some claim. defend his act
by plea of passion for he has had
weeks TO consider the words Of Or
Crawford.
SO much for Judge Campbell Now
a word or two about DR. Crawford.
THE FREE Lance is an independent
newspaper and "a believer in freedom
OF speech but it does not believe that
DIR. Crawford had the moral or legal
right to score Judge Campbell a. De
did without being prepared 10 prove
his charges. We have the highest
regard for the ministry but the sim
pie fact that Dr. Crawford was min
lister does not give him a license to
attack the character OF any man
without first having ia his possession
the FACTS TO substantiate his charge
beyond a reasonable doubt.
The Legislature should investigate
Judge Campbell and if Or. Crawford
can prove his charge against the
Judge tbs his duty tolay thefacts le-
fore the States lawmakers.
The whole affair is "a blot upon the
State that every good citizen earnest
ty hopes to see removed at an early
hour.

Has he not proven conclusively that
