ellis Decision on
RIGHTS Of Parents

vinits. T. T., Sept 5.--.A decision Of
much Importance to the people Of In
dian territory has been rendered by
Judge Joseph A. GIN in the United
states court for the northern district
Of Indian territory in PROBATE The
decision was rendered in the case OF
Walter L. Dohery guardian. Do
herty Is a Cherokee citizen and ne and
his wife are both living and have five
children lawfully enrolled as Chero-
aees and are minors. and each child
has right to select s325.60 worth OF
the land of the Cherokee nation Do
herty applied to Judge Gill for per
mission as guardian to purchase farm
for his children, the same being all in
cultivation and having valuable i'm
prvoements upon It. 1t seems that
Doherty had haTgained for the lend
prior TO the application for letters OF
guardianship. and had appeared before
the Dawes commission and filed on
the land for his minor children. The
improvements. on the farm are worth
$4,000
Judge GIL decided that Doherty as
guardian could lease the lands of his
wards with the permission of the
court for a fair and reasonable price
per acre per annum and apply the
proceeds toward the payment of the
purchase price of the improvements
placed on this land prior to the time
it was taken in allotment for the Do
herty children The guardian will, un-
der order of the court, lease the lands
and apply a sufficient amount of the
proceeds toward the payment of the
debt.
This is the first time this question
has ever been raised in a court in In
dian territory, and the decision will
affect thousands of dollars worth of
property
The effect OF the ruling is that a
parent has the right to purchase i'm
provements on land for mis- children
and then file on it, and out of the
proceeds Of the rent pay the purchase
price of the improvements for the
benefit of the minor child The court
upon being satisfied that the purchase
price of the improvements IS reason
able and right will, upon application
Of the guardian, permit the payment
out Of the rents aecruing from the
lands.

DEFEAT FOR C0RBETT,
Knocked Out by JcHrics in Tenth
Round of Fight for Heavy
weight Championship.

San Francisco, Aug. 15.-James ].
Jeffries, champion heavyweight OF the
world, played with Jim Corbett for nine
rounds and half Friday night, and
then Corbett's seconds motioned to Ref
cree Graney to stop the fight in order
to save their man from needless pun
ishment. The end came shortly after
the beginning of the tenth round, when
Jeffries planted one of his terrific left
swings on Corbett's stomach The man
who conquered John L. Sullivan
dropped to the floor in agony and the
memorable scene at Carson City, when
Bob Fitzsimmons landed his solar plex-
us blow, was duplicated. This time,
however, Corbett struggled to his feet
and again faced his gigantic adversary.
With hardly moments hesitation Jeff
ries swung his right and again landed
on Corbett's stomach. Jim dropped to
the floor and then it was that Tommy
Ryan, seeing that it was all over, mo-
toned to Referee Graney to stop the
punishment.

who is we'll known throughout Mexico

he owned and which he discovered few
years ago when he was peOn working
in mine at so cents per day, is not

to admit all mining experts to it's work.

silver properties in the world.
More than 100000. 900 worth of silver
bars are securely locked in a steel cage
in the residence of the late owner This
cage is constantly guarded day and night
by strong force OF armed men. Tho
one time peon made all his money in a
few years and his chief object has been
to spend it. He proposed to pay the ma
tional debt of Mexico just to show that
he could do il.
Alvarado always remembered the
time when he needed money, so when
he made his strike he was never with
out 100000 or 100000 in cash on his
person. Besides the actual money he
always had some dozen or two valuable
diamonds tucked away about his pocll-
cts.
Alvarados income shortly before his
month. and he was eager to spend it as
fast as he could. His house cost him
$50O000, and its maintenance with the
army to guard ii cost a large sum in adj
