Tuesday. from consumption, aged
a9 years, IL days. Deceased
came here about six months ago
for the benefit OF his health, and
has been living with his family in
tent in North La unta for some
time past. He leaves a widow
and one daughter to mourn his de-
mise. The funeral took place

Not Guilty Of insanity.

William Bornshein, OF Ordway,
was convicted of not being guilty
OF insanity in the county court
Thursday morning. The COM
planning witness was his son,
John Bornshein, who claims that
his father has been acting very pc
culiar OF late, but as this character
istic seems TO be nothing unusual
to the German race, and as the
defendant had done nothing yet
that in the opinion OF the jury
would endanger his own person
or property or the persons or pro-
peIty OF others, he was allowed to
go hence from whence he came.
The particular grievance on this
occasion was the fact that the de-
fendant had left his home in the
dead hours OF night, and between
the hours OF midnight and dawn
had butchered horse that belong
ed to one OF his neighboTs. The
horse was knocked in the head,
his throat cut, and drawn and
qnartered, all same beef The
defendant threw the head OF the
animal in his neighbor's back
yard. and even offered him a por-
tion OF the meat thereof for chick
en- feed as a penance for his deed.
The defendant told his neighbor
in the long ago that his horse was
not fit to live and ought to be a
member of the heavenly equine
chorus, and this fact he consider
ed adequate justification for his
deed of bufchery.
The defendant was on the stand
and testified in his own behalf,
and though he evidently is rather
peculiar, he has not as yet reach
ed the non compos mentis stage.
The jury brought in a verdict OF
mot guilty"

Old General utii ity.

The editor OF the TRIBUNE has
developed into first class mes.
senger boy, and is prepared to do
stunts on short notice. Thursday
morning he was requested by
Judge Wallis to dig up a lawyer
to defend crazy man that was
not guilty. We dug up Z. w.
McDaniels and he did the rest.
Later we were requested by Un-
dersherift Steward to dig up Doc
Howard to take care of the afore-
said crazy man, as he had other
business to attend to. We dug up
"Doc," but as the jury found the
crazy man not guilty. "Doc" did
not have any more job than rab-
bit. When we started out to look
for 'Doc" one of the jurymen in
the case beckoned to us and re-
quested that we turn off the hose
IN the court house park, which he
was attending, saying that he
would probably be tangled up
with the jury for some time and
that the hose needed attention.
We turned off the hose. In the
days of our adolescence we used
to think that we would some time
develop into an all round man.
We are now convinced that we
have reached that stage, and are
prepared to tackle any old thing.
Notwithstand, inasmuch, however,
there are some people who still
insist that all an editor has to do
is to walk around and look wise.

could happen. But if the choice is
to fall upon man representing the

REPETITION.

When you can sit on your
front porch in the evening and
listening to the song of the
southern mocking bird, look up
through a cloudless sky into
the eye Of the man in the moon
and see him winking his APP
proval of your country, what's
the use to worry about Brosius
reports, Investigations, unac-
cepted designations, trust COM
panies with your name on the
stationery, or anything. 1t will
all come right in the end and a
smile will calm the face now
full of frowns. Spinal column
and cuticle is all that is needed,
with these you can be happy
though suspicioned. -Musko-

According to the Cherokee
agreement deeds to the first
filings on allotments will begin
to be issued the first of October,
nine months from the date OF
filing. Persons who filed on
their allotments during the
month of January should re-
ceive their deeds in October.
When deeds begin to issue it
will then look like allotment
was here sure enough. At the
present rate of filing at the land
Office the work Of allotment will
occupy at least two more years
after the present. A little more
than twelve thousand filings
have been made, but there are
many hundred contests which
means that other filings will
have to be made by at least one
party to every contest. The
rolls Of citizenship are far from
complete. The freemen roll is
vet to be made, and thousands
Of Cherokees by blood have moi
been placed on the final roll,
The intermarried white citizens
have not been enrolled and can.
not be until their case is passed
upon by the Court Of Claims
and the supreme court Of the
United States. The Delaware
case il pending in the supreme
court and the status Of the oldel
members Of that tribe cannot
be determined until that deci
sion is rendered. There is
vast amount Of unfinished worl
before the Dawes Commission
to be done before the end O
tribal government comes, Janu

SHALL THE END GOMEZ

The press Of the country is
devoting plenty Of space to In
dian Territory matters at last.
The power Of the press Of the
Indian Territory is also being
lined up in the interest Of
decency. There was a time,
and not very long ago either,
when to suggest wrong doing
in an official in any department
was to invite a storm Of ridicule
and abuse from a venal and
sycophantic press. The SLOW
and tedious work Of the Dawes
Commission has been exasperat-
ing enough but the fact that its
members have plunged into
wild speculation at the expense
of the people they were sent
here to protect seems beyond
belief. For years when a doubt
was expressed, or limited at, as
10 the work Of the commission,
the epithet "knocker" was
hurled at the head Of the Of
fender. What will be the result
Of all the recent revelations per-
haps no one can tell. II is 10
be earnestly wished however
that no delay will be caused in
winding up the affairs Of the
Indians. Finish the long dreary
work Of allotment. Let the In
dian know his fate and that as
speedily as is consistent with
good business methods. Give
him whatever he is 10 get out
Of the wreckage Of his estate
and thus give him a chance tc
defend himself against boodlen
and looters high and low.

The Indian Territory has had
a fair test under peculiarly fav-
orable conditions of carpet bag
government. The men sent
here to administer the govern
ment are fair average intel
lectually and morally, but the
experiment has beer a failure,
and must necessarily be a fail
ure. The half million or more
American citizens in the Indian
Territory are capable of self
government, and will eventual
" get it. Until the people Of
this territory are allowed to
elect their own officials there
will be turmoil and unrest and
more or less scandal.

COMMERCIAL CLUB WORK

There are great possibilities
in reach of the Commercial
club Of Vinita. So many things
properly come within the scope
of its efforts that it would be
impossible to remember or to
enumerate them all. To ex-
plot the resources Of the coun-
try in a manner profitable to
the city and country would very
properly be considered consist
ent work for such a body. To
call attention to, and press the
claims Of enterprises needing
encouragement, and to gather
in such new institutions as may
come our way, is work the club
can scarcely fail to undertake.
If a display Of the best fruits,
grains, grasses and all the pro-
ducts Of the farm, field, orchard
and garden were arranged in q
suitable room at some point
easily accessible, where visitors
could be shown samples Of what
the country really produces, it
would be a most effective way
of attracting good class Of
immigration.
Also a display of coal, iron,
lead, zine aud any other min.
erals that the country produces
would be an attraction TO the
visitor that might yield results
in the way Of added investments
and population. Fine speci.
mems Of corn, wheat, oats, rye,
millet, clover, timothy an q
other grains and grasses could
be gathered and placed on ex'
hibition in some suitable place
by the club. This season The
fruit is especially fine. While
the general yield is perhaps mo-
large as to the apple and peacl
crop, there are pears and grapes
that would be a credit to an.
section of the whole country.
Next year a car Of the yiel'
of this section should be takei
to st. Louis and placed on ex
hibition by the Commercial
club. A little intelligent prep
aration would secure a fine ex
hibit.

In the midst of the excite
ment on account OF Secretary
Hitchcock's proposed investiga-
tion, many have the impression
that all loan and trust COM
panies throughout the Indian
country are doing an illegiti-
mate business and that the ex-
cuse for their existence is to
fleece the Indian out Of his
land. This is not truc and the
public mind at home and abroad
should be relieved of that idea.
Some Of these companies, and
notably the one located in this
city, deals in no land titles out
side Of Incorporated towns
where the title is already in the
individual.
