BRoSlUS WILL HELP.
Bonaparte May Get Some Pointers
From the Visitor.


Guthrie. O. T.. Oct. IA Washington
dispatch says: s n. Brosius. special
agent of the Indian Rights essociatsou.
who fled az the interior deiSrtment the
charges involving tie members of the
Dawes commission and other government
officials in irregularities in connection
with the allotment of lands in the Indian
Territory, returned to Washington today
from another trip through the Indian
country, in the course of which he obtain
cd additional facts TO support his charges.
This afternoon he fled at the depart
ment evidence which he says VIII be OF
use to Attorney Charles J. Bonaparte
when the latter begins his investigation.
Air. Brosius declared that he had no diff
Guilty j nobtaining evidence and that it
should have been presented to the inte-
rior department long ago by the depart
ment inspectors. He will so to Philadel-
phia in few days and consult President
Garrett and other officials of the Indian
Rights association with reference TO the
course the association will take in the
investigation.
Everybody in the Indian Territory ex-
vestigation be started" said Mr.. Brosius.
sious. Jcooluk ofpge-fa iE TATAOlNOW
The people have confidence in MIR. Roma
parte, but they think he should begin his
work without further delay The depart
ment of justice has set an example the
interior department would have done well
to emulate No ooner had the charges
involving United States District Attorney
PIiny Soper and other officials of that de-
partment been filed with the attroney
general than four inspectors were sent to
the territory to start an inquiry. These
inspectors are now at work and they have
made considerable progress.
IN addition to Mr.. Soper and the as
sistant district attorney, Mr. Huckleberry.
some Of the United States commissioners
are involved in the scandals. There is
not the slightest doubt that Mr. Soper.
as well as members OF the Dawes COM
mission, failed to do his oucy concerning
the excessive holdings of lands In the
Cherokee country, as he mas not compell-
ed the Cherokee citizens to relinquish
their holdings. The statement that the
delay of Mr.. Bonaparte had enabled the
members of the Dawes commission to
conceal their Irregularities in connection
with the trust and land companies is not
correct, as that evidence is a matter of
court record and is open to any one who
viii take the trouble to look for it,
It was said today that Mr.. Benaparte
would come IN Washington in a few days
for a conference with President Roosevelt
and Secretary Hitchcock concerning the
investigation. Mr. Hitchcock was expected
back this afternoon, but wired that he
would be delayed in Boston and that he
would not return until tomorrow.
The negro escaped. No arrests have been
made in connection with the affair

Funds Belonging to His Client.
Hobart. Q. T., Oct. John NJ Hayes,
d well known attorney of Mountain Park,
Kiowa county, has been arrested by
Sheriff Nell Morrison of this county upon
complaint of Joseph w. Scherer of
Charleston, H.. who charges Hayes with
Misrepresentation of funds belonging to
the complainant.
Scherer alleges that Fayes was his
agent to purchase real estate in Kiowa
county and that as such he was entrusted
with $3.50 which he appropriated to his
own use. 1t is further alleged that Hayes
took the money, purchased farm, had
the deed made to himself and used the
balance of the money in settling private
debts. Suit has been instituted to re-
cover the money.
Hayes was given preliminary hearing
and was held in the sum OF $500. The case
has attracted considerable attention here
as Schere has given orders to have the
case prosecuted to the fullest extent.
