DELAWAEs WIN THEIR CASE.
Get Judgment Against cherokees in
Court of Claims.

Court OF claims.
Caremore, |. T.-Word has been re-
ceived from Washington that the court
of claims has rendered a decision in
the celebrated case brought by the
Delaware Indians against the Chero-
KEGS. The decision as rendered pro-
vides that all living Delawares who
removed from Kansas and were adopt
ed into the Cherokee tribe under the
treaty of 1866 shall receive 100 acres Of
land each. All other Delawares shall
receive the same amount of land as the
Cherokees, which is 10 acres of the
average valued land.
In 1866, treaty was made between
the Delawares and Cherokees by which
the Delawares were to be adopted into
the Cherokee tribe upon their purchas-
ing 157,60O acres of land from the
Cherokees. No provision was made in
the treaty as to whether, upon the
death of a Delaware, the land was to
revert to the Cherokee tribe. However,
the Cherokees so construed it. In 1898,
this suit to determine the point was
brought in the court Of claims, and the
decision as mentioned has just been
rendered.

An old time miner who some weeks

he said, was of drifting variety SINH

The miner got permission TO prospect

LONG WINS
Seventh District Congressman th'
Caucus Nominee for Senator.

Yesterday morning Mr.. Will Wat
con telegraphed from Topeka that
Congressman Long of this district
had been nomi mated in the republican
caucus for United States senator.
Stanley could not hold his men to-
eether and seeing the inevitable he
withdrew from the race and the most
of his supporters went to Long. This
brings the Seventh district face to
face with another proposition and
that is the election of a congressman
60 succeed our present member. Long
holds his present position until the
fourth of March unless he should
resign, which is not likely, so the
probabilities are that the governor
will call special election shortly
q ter March first and that the election
will take place as soon as possible
thereafter. Seuator Smith of this
county is the leading republican can
di late at this time. Vernon J. Rose
will undoubtly have the democratic
nomination If he wants it.
