The man on the horse heard the
words that pierced his heart like the
stab OF a dagger. For some moments
he sat like a statue. his face grim and
set, and his eyes staring into blank
ness. The steed moved forward of its
own accord and wandered on for up-

wrestling with himself. Then, with a
sigh and a sob that almost choked him
he gathered up the reins and once
moro turned towards John Martins

And Namarah spake no word. but

went and put her arms about the neck
Of her father, but her eyes she gave

Her hood had fallen backward, and
her white face rose from out its SOL

TOM TRIPLETT'S
FINE WORK,
Part of His Schemes
Exposed blythe
Officials.

Abiding to the exploits OF
Tom Triplett a Tahlequah cor
respondent has this to say
To show how impossible it is
to get the Cherokee boodlers it
may be stated that when Pliny
L. Soper, United States attor-
ney for the Northern ditrict of
ehe Indian Territory, went to
the executive office of the Chero-
kee nation to get the records in
which the evidence in some Of
the TripIett cases were contain
ed, he was informed that these
records had been stolen; thus
the boodlers had been to the ex-
ecutiye office ahead Of the pros
ecutor. The evidence against
many boodlers was thus stolen
out Of the executive office OF the
Cherokee nation.
On another occasion an at
tempt was made to burn the
capitol building at Tahlaquah
in order that these records of
Doodle might be destroyed, but
the attempt was not carried out.
Oil had been poured on the
evetairway and matches applied,
but for some reason the oil fail
ed 10 ignite. An executive sec
retary at one time peeped
Through the transom OF the
chiefs Office and saw a boodler
with a lamp in the room alter
ing the records but that secre-
tary has let the matter slip his
memory since then and does not
know who the boodler was.
About she time Triplett was
called before the federal court
10 enter plea in his cases and
while his friends were interced-
ing for him with the federal |
authorities, a sensation was
sprung at the Cherokee land Of
fee, where it was made known /
that Triplett was engaged in
padding the Cherokee rolls and
one Of the most gigantic frauds
known to the history of the five
tribes was discovered /
and brought to light. Triplett
had succeeded in adding the
names OF nineteen fictitious
persons to the rolls now being
made by the Dawes commission
and had taken out reservations
of land for these supposed hui
man beings. In some instances
the land was leased.
The land Office fraud was per-
petrated in this way. The
Cherokees, in the year 1890,
leased their range on the Cher
pkee strip for enough money..to
make a per capita payment of
s13.70 to each citizen Of the
Cherokee Nation. A payment
was made and when the coun-
Eli met in the fall after the pay a
|nent many persons made ap- I
plication, stating that they had
hot received their share of this ,
grass money; the national {
pouucil passed various acts APP =
propriating money for these
people. Thomas w. Triplett S
appeared on the scene and had Z
appropriations made for some !

time and the Cherokees paic
over for them a total of $360.30
Having thus started the fraud
Triplett was in better position
to work his graft in 1894, when
the Cherokees had a payment
of 1866. 10, and he had enrolled
on the pay rolls these same
nineteen persons, and for them
the Cherokees paid out a total
$5, ,048.30 orders were forged
on the treasurer for these fic-
titious persons.
So easily had Triplett run
gauntlet of the Cherokee au-
thorities he thought he would
try the Dawes commission. Not
long ago an enrolling party
was sent to Tahlequah to enroll
full bloods ,Triplet applied for
a number of full bloods at diff
ferent times their names were
discovered on the 1894 pay roll
and in the special appropriation
acts Of 1901 he had them en-
rolled on doubtful cards a few
on straight cards. He applied
for these fictitious people on
the installment plan a few
this week, a few a week later,
and so on in order to avoid
suspicion.
When the land Office opened
he applied for allotmeats for
these same people. The oppor-
tunity was open for him the
commission for a short time al
lowed aged and infrm persons
to execute power of attorney
and upon the evidence of some
person suggested by the allottee
the commission would make
discretionary allotments in
other cases guardian papers
were supplied; in other cases
administration papers were re-
quired and between these three
was enable to apply
for reservations of allotments
for his nineteen fictitious
names. The Dawes commits
sion, or rather one or two of its
clerks. discovered the fraud
and took testimony of a witness
who retracted her statement
hat she knew these people and
admitted that Triplett had paid
her to swear falsely. The APP
Dlications for these nineteen
fictitious persons will be reject
ID in the enrolment division
md their applications for allot-
nents will be conceled at the
and office. This new work of
he boodler is in the hands of
he federal grand jury, now in
ession at this place.

Crabs and Earthquakes.

For some time previous TO the day
upon which the great Chilean earth
quake of August, 1861. occurred great
sWarms of crabs of an unknown va
ricty were seen in the bay of PGyta
They all appeared TO be greatly eXcit-
ed and were literally climbing over
each other in their efforts TO escape the
impending calamity.
How they knew that the earthquake
was collecting its strength to desolate
tie coast is more than man can say,
but that they knew something unusual
was about to happen there is no doubt
whatever.
That there were millions of them
may be inferred from TIE report OF DR..
Forbes, who says that ten days after
the earthquake the dead crabs were
thrown upon the beach in a wall-like
line three or four feet wide along the
whole extent of the bay"

A certain Pomeranian has most ex-
traordinary habit at mealtimes which
appears worth recording. This behav-
Tor is the prelude to only one kind of
food. e., bread and milk. 1t consists
in first wiping the nose smartly TO and
fro on the flannel on which the dog
lies, ana this is repeated between each
mouthful. To such an extent is this
eccentricity carried that she refuses
this kind Of food altogether if there is
no flannel to wipe her nose on. The
curious part of the whole episode is
that there is none of this wiping with
bread sopped in gravy. 1t seems to be
suggested by some irritation peculiar
to warm milk.-London Times.

BRUTES GIVEN TO DRINK.
Aany Animals Become Intoxicated
on Natures Beverages.

Although it has often been said When
speaking of drunkenness that even the
beasts of the field 10 not get drunk it
Is nevertheless 4 fact that Il great
many animals do get intoxicated.
Take the elephant. for instance. He is
particularly fond of the fruit of the
unganu tree, and although he appears
to have some idea that it is not good
for him he will go on eating when he
has once begun until he is wildly eX-
cited and so intoxicated that lie Will
stagger from side to side Every now
and tAcn he will pull himself up. shake
his huge head and tear madly through
the forest. trumpeting at the top of his
voice and terrifying every living crea-
ture Ii is said that he Will even dare
and defy his most dreaded enemy, the
tiger. when in this condition. but we
have no means Of verifying this. 1t is
wei known. however. that an elephant
is in Il most dangerous condition when
suffering from the effects of eating
this beautiful fruit, and all who can
take care to keep out of his way as
much as possible.
The sloth bear is another animal
given 10 this failing. The natives of
India are in the habit Of hanging little
vessels on the palm trees for the puI-
pose Of catching the juice. This juice
is SO attractive to the sloth bear that,
although such poor climber, he will
scramble up and go on drinking the
juice until he is so drunk that he can
only slip helplessly TO the ground and
lie there in a drunken stupOr until the
effects have passed off.
Tut the sloth bear is not the only
animal who is so partial to this juice
of the palm tree. The curious fruit Tor
foX) bats family pteropodid@) are par
ticularly fond of it. This peculiar little
combination of beast and bird, with its
foXlike face, reddish, furry body and
black. uncanny looking wings, the deli
cate membrane Of which is always
Quivering down to the very tips, VIII
fly to these vessels in company with
some hundreds of his companions and
they will suck the juice until the
ground below the tree will be dark
with the bodies of these bats. VINO will
lie there too helplessy intoxicated to
move or defend themselves no matter
what may turn up.
The biggest drunkard of all is per-
hGps the palm civet. SO addicted is
this animal to the drinking habit that
he has been termed the tOddy cat. And
Il more helpless. foolish looking crea-
ture than he is when he is thoroughly
intoxicated with the palm juice it
would be difficult to find. There are
many other animals given to this fail
ing. but all those l have spoken of live
in India, and it may be that the heat
which induces extreme thirst. Il fire.
QUent excuse among men, is the direct
cause Of it.-Colliers Weekly.
