EASY TO MAKE MONEY
IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY.
So Declares Assistant United States
Attorney Mccoy. Who Is Enthusfs-
tic Over Land of Adoption.
SPECIAL.


Washington Jan. 31.-"I have been living In
the Indian Territory only a year. but in
that time have come to think it about the
best part of the United States said Joseph
Mccoy. Assistant United States District At
torney for that Territory. and who formerly
was active in Missouri Republican politics.
II do not think there is a part of this
Union where a bright and industrious man
can do go well as in the Indian Territory or
where he stands as good a chance of max
ing money with a small capital. Even with
as small a sum as 81, 200, a man ought to lay
the foundation Of a good fortune; The
country Is the national gateway to Texas,
Mexico and the great Southwest. and with
out exaggeration. I believe it has the rich
est and most productive lands I ever saw.
and I am something of a judge of good
country.
There is a good deal of crime in the Ter
ritory yet. and only last week a total of
157 indictments were found in our court.
Most Of these were on charges of whisky
selling and theft. 1t Is extremely hard to
break up the Illicit traffic in whisky. and.
though the punishment Is severe. it does
not seem to act az a deterring force. An
Indian will go to almost any lengths to get
rum. and in this respect he has not much
advantage over a lot of the white men

POLITICAL RIOT IN NORFOLK

For REGISTERING Negroes.

For Registering Negroes
Norfolk. Va, Dec. 9. Summoned
by the ringing Of the Berkeley Avenue
Baptist church, a mob of 300 white
Democrats stormed the Office OF the
Berkeley Improvement Board in which
were County Treasurer Lyons Com
missioner OF Revenue Nicholas, Town
Recorder Old. Deputy County Clerk
w. H. Lyons and nearly score OF ne
groes. and rushed the entire party
from the building 10 the street County
Treasurer Lyons was kicked half way
down the stairs.
The crowd then assailed the Berke
ley police station and found there
County Clerk Alvah II. Martin, a Re
publican. seated at a table with Rev.
John Sumler, a negro councilman.
Martin was attacked. severely choked
and slammed against a cell door. As
he stood there, powerless, denuncia-
tory speeches were delivered at him
and he was then escorted to his home
by the police.
The riot was caused by q bitter %
litical feeling which has existed be
tween the straight-out Democratic Gle
ment in Norfolk county and the fusion
element. controlled by Martin. 1t Is
charged by the Democrats that the
county officials present in the Office Of
the improvement board had assembled
there to collect the poll taxes from
negroes suIreptitiously and that on
the other hand obstacles are placed in
the way Of white Democrats qualify
ing to vote.
In the crowd was c. W. Rockefeller,
a first cousin Of the Standard Oil mag
nate, and Rev Herbert Scholz, a
Christian minister.
