rived here today and will leave for the

injured, but the country IN my state is now
in shape to give up good crops"

about nominating Bryan in 1902" Mr..

They are not taking much interest in
that yet, but there are Bryan democrats
in Alabama who will have to be reckoned
with wnen the time comes. No, l can't say
what is likely to be done"

J. Sweeney, a watchmau in the employ of
the Delaware. Lacka kawanna and Western
Company at it's Bliss colliery in Hanover
township. was found dead In field in Han
over township this morning.
He quit work at midnight. and was fol-
lowed by a score of men. The men were
making threats, and Sweeney was afraid of
them. He took refuge in a saloon and
waited there for some time. After he
thought the crowd that followed him had
dispersed he left for his home This was
the last seen of him alive. The supposition
is that the men who followed him from the
mine were lying in wait for him, and when
he approached the spot where they were
hiding they assaulted him with pickhandies
and beat his brains out
Determined to Kill Him.
The body lay in pool of blood. One OF
the arms was also broken, apparently by
a blow from a club. The murderers were
determined to make sure of their work

the murderers-
The murdered man told the superintend-
ent OF the mine where he was employed
that some of the strikers had spoken to
him last week and advised him that 1t did
not look right to him going to work.
and that if he was wise he would quit at
once Sweeney said he needed employment,
as his family was in want The next day
another delegation met him on his way to
work and told him If he did not quit work
he would be sorry. Sweeney said these
warnings worried him. but he resolved to
continue at work. There is much indfgna-
tiOn over the cOid-blooded murder, as the
dead watchman was well liked.
Strikers Deny Killing.
At strike headquarters in this city
statement was given out to the effect that
an investigation had been made of tie
killing of Watchmar Sweeny al the Bliss

that strikers had committed the crime. 1t
Is said the dead watchnan. who was at one
time foreman of mine at Nanticoke, had
discharged some employees who made
threats at the time that they would get

To Prey on Indian Heirs for
Lands for a Song.
Government Is Investigating,
Securing Fine Farm Of Deceased
Allottees and Combining to
Prevent Competition is
the Plan.

Reports Of systematlzed effort
to grab large quantities of Indian
lands through opportunity to buy
from the heirs OF deceased allotees
without competitor have been made
10 the government.
The Indian Rights Association
has been making study of the
matter for some time and two
months ago sent an agent Of the
society to a number of the western
reservations TO inquire into the
progress of the movement to get
the Iudian lands into the hands of
syndicates and he has returned
from month spent I'd Indian Ter
rilory.
IL is estimated tnat there are
over s1O,O 900 worth Of lands
now in the position Of becom-
ing the prey OF designing opera
tors. II is said that a number of
Indian agents have been cooper
aung with the land sharks and
striving TO so conduct the sales Of
all0ttees' lands as to prevent COM
petition and cloak the transactions
with secrecy. The disposition
Of deceased allottees' lands is con
Quoted by the government, which
is the guardian of the heirs under
a law Of congress.
The law authorizes the heirs to
sell their inheritSnce, with the
provision that the sale shall be
approved by the secretary Of the
interior to become operative.
Rules governing the sales were
promulgated by the Indian office,
which provided that an appraisal
should be made by the Indian
agent. superintendent of school
Or other official IN charge of the
lands, and that the price at which
the heirs dispose OF the lands must
equal the appraised price fixed
upon.
All sorts of schemes were at once
used TO secure the Indian lands at
less than the actual value. Attor-
neys Immediately discovered an
avenue by which to enrich them
selves and dishonest officials OF
the Indian department had only to
connive with designing purchasers
to enhance their income. 1t is
thought that a single attorney in
Pawnee, Ok, has secured con
tracts with over one half the heirs
TO the lands that may be offered
for sale in that tribe, binding the
heirs to sell only through this at
torney or pay him a handsome fee
for disposing of the lands.
Contracts are usually secured
By alluring the heirs by a small
cash payment at the time of thu
execution Of the contract. ant
when once bound the Indian feell
obliged to complete the dea
through his attorney. 10 thil
manner composition is eliminated
aud the lands sold at much les
than the actual value.

Kau has developed some strange
cases of late. First there was China
man done away with, and murder was
suspected. Then there was woman
discovered dead after a luau, with a
wound in her head. Investigation led
the astute Kau people to think that as
there had been rain through the night,
the woman died from exposure. Then
one of the principal witnesses in the
murder case, after having been exam
med by one of the police authorities,
was invited to "a luau by the man un-
der suspicion, and forthwith the wit
ness fell i'll and shortly afterwards died.
His stomach was sent down to be ana
lyzed and Chemist Shorey discovered
that it contained poison. This will
make rather a sensational case when it
is properly worked up. The moral Of it
is that there should be the strictest and
most scrupulous enquiry into any sud-
den deaths. This has been the conten-
ton of The Star for years.

The Kahn bill is not likely to pass in
any form In it's emasculated shape it
has been reported upon favorably by
the committee, but there are traps and
pitfalls before it when it gets into the
House. The prestige Oh Congressman
Kahn is considerably lessened by his
failure with the bill, andtt will serious
~ initiate against his reelection. The
trouble with the Kahn bill was that 1t
asked for too much. 1t aroused an
antagOnism which the simple re-enact-
ment of the Geary act would never
have called forth. 1t was too iron clad
and thus lost supporters and created
enemies. The Geary Act expires May 4
of this year If the Kahn bill is defeat
ed, there will have to be some hustling
done to get the Geary Act re-enacted
before it expires by limitation. Califor-
mia statesmen have not played their
cards well in this matter, and the Cali
fornian voters will want to know the
reason why.
