OATS ARE OF FINE QUALITY.

Barley Also Good Crop and Corn
Promises to Turn Out Well.
Charles H. Ross, of Clemens, one of
the well-known farmers of the north

city Tuesday. Mr. Ross says that crops

Il cannot help but feel" said Mr..
Ross, out that We are going to haze
a good corn crop this year Corn is
as far advanced now as it was at this

have been saying that the fields were
cleaner this year than ever before.
Now that the blowing is done, we are

INDIANS IN THE. CITY.
Sac and Fox Band On Its Way Home
From Des Moines.


Members of council of fifteen In
dams OF the Iowa Sac and Fox reservd-
tor, in Tama county. were in the city
Tuesday evening on their way hom7
from Des Moines. where they had
been to interview Governor Cummns.
The red men have troubles of Their
own, and before the chief executive
Tuesday afternoon they laid their case.
The Indians We're accompanied by e. l.
Wilcox, of Montour. who acts as an
advisor to a portion of the men on the
| reservation.
The principal grievance that the III
dams have is that they want thelS
land placed in the name of the govern
or of Iowa as was formerly the case,
The governor of the state has always
acted as trustee for the Indians until
a few years ago, when the land was
placed directly under the charge of the
government Another grievance the
council had lay in the fact that they
have not been able to have one of their
number declared as chief. Push E.
To- Mex is chief of the tribe at pres
ent and while he was reared by the
Saes aud Foxes, it is claimed that he
is by blood Winnebago. He belongs
to what is known as the progressive
tribe, and the Sacs and Foxes claim
that he is using his influence to bring
Wilnebagoes from other reservations
onto their land where they enjoy the
comforts of life. The Sacs and Foxes
pay the taxes. they claim, and are
uns BILE to legislate affairs to their own
liking. because they have no chief of
their own blood.
Governor Cummins asked the In
dians, thru their interpreter. IL there
was not enough land for all. as there
are almost six sections comprising the
reservation, and only about 400 In
dams. The reply made was to the eff
feet that the platform was not broad
enough for all to stand. Governor
Cummins, while hearing Il familiar ring
to the words. pretended not to see the
point altho others in the room did and
laughed heartily.
The Indians who are dissatisfied, and
who We're represented in the council
at Des Moines Tuesday afternoon. want
Tet Posh made chief. Tet-A-Posh
who Is about 80 years of age, Is lineal
descendant of the royal blood of the
tribe.
The Indians who participated in the
council Tuesday were kish-A-Qua,
George Morgan, Pi-Osh, Henry Ar
Sun-A-Sa, Quin- E-Po. Sac-E-To,
Young Sac Etc, Wildcat. Young Wild
cat, Black Cloud. Tat-A-Posh, Puck-A-
To Pam Me- Quoy, and Young Pam
Me-Ouoy. Most of the braves made
the trip to the capital city from the
reservation overland driving the dis
lance in two days. They are now on
their way back to the reservation, with
the exception of Kish Aqua and
George Morgan. who We're here Tues
day evening. returning by rail.

SENT IN TRUE BILL
IN CASE OF ARSON.
Harrell And Morgan Stand
Indicted.
OTHER JURORS ARE SUMMONED
In Expectation of an immediate Trial
of Case. Men Still in Americus jail
No Steps Yet Taken In Case of
Negro lobe Thornton.

Sidney Harrell and Henry Morgan,
the two white men confioed IN the
Americus Jail for safe keeping, were
both formally indicted by the Webster
county grand jury yesterday upon the
charge of arson, growing sout of the
wholesale burning Of the town of Pres.
ton recently.
This action places the two prisoners
in line for immediate trial.
And as the court has about disposed
of all civil business for this term the
criminal regular docket, including the
case against Harrell and Morgan, will
probably be called this afternoon.
In anticipation of the trial special
panel OF sixty jurors were summoned
yesterday. Tt is not known here yet
when or how the prisoners will be car
ried back to Preston, Sheriff Bell hav-
ing received no instructions up to a
late hour yesterday afternoon.
He will doubtless be advised upon
this line today, however, and the pris-
oners will be carried back to Preston
in safety for tlial.
II anything has been done as yet in
the case of lobe Thornton, charged
with assaulting Miss Dismuke there,
the fact has not been made known.
This case, too, will be one of no little
interest
Thornton VOWS that the officers shall
never take him back to Preston thai
he will refuse to leave his cell here, and
will die there fighting before he will be
carried out as he prefers to die here
rather than in Preston, evidently re-
garding his fate as sealed, anyway.
| But when Thornton is ordered out
there for trial Sheriff Bell will carry
him, and alive, at that.

TO COMMAND OF CAMP SUMTER
Annual Meeting of Camp Largely At
tended and Great Enthusiasm Man
ifested-Officers for the Ensuing
Year Elected Tuesday.

The annual meeting yesterday of
Camp Sumter, 642, q. G. V, brought
out the largest attendance, perhaps,
ever known upon similar occasion,
evidencing the deep and abiding inter
est of the old soldiers who wore the
gray despite the constant thinning Of
their worn ranks.
Seventy members answered "here"
to the rollcall yesterday,
Tue gathering was an interesting one
to the onIooker as we'll as to the old he
roee there assembled, and the keenest
interest was manifested IN all the pro
ceedings of the session.
In the annual election of officers
Commander Ell. T. Davenport was thus
again honored by acclamatlon, the as
sem blage arising as one man. Com
mander Davenport responded IN a
speech replete with patriotism and
fervor, thanking his comrades for the
very great honor.
The other officers were likewise cleo
ted by reclamation.

A. Cobb, T. J. Morgan and P. 81. Will
lIams were elected lieutent. comman-
ders in the order named, Adjutant W.
B. Heys was again elected to that
Office.
The camp begins the new year under
brightest auspices. Under the able
command of Mr.. Davenport 1t is rap
idly growing in members and useful
cess and is upon stronger basis now,
perhaps, than in long while. Appli-
cations for membership were received
yesterday.
Messrs. Fl. T. Davenport, U. S.
Lockett, t, j. Morgan, J. NJ. Hans
ford, w. A. Seals and J, P. Chapman

this year.

Away.

In the death of Mrs. Anna Ford,
which occurred yesterday just as day
light ended and darkness spread
mantle over all, one of Americus'
purest, noblest and best women passed
from earth to receive on high the
bright reward which a faultless life
here assures her. And a whole COM

Long sufferer from dread disease,
the end was not unexpected
For many weary months she suffered,
but even with the assurance that death
could not be stayed she murmured nos
and was ready and willing to go when
her Master called.
The deceased was the relict of the late
DR.. John j. W. Ford, and during a
residence cf nearly a quarter century IN
Americas had endeared herself to all
here. None knew the patient, good
christian woman but to love her, and
her many golden deeds will long be
sweetly remembered by the people OF
Americus.
She is survived by her sister, MIes
Sebie Wooten, with whom she had re
sided for many years and who has the
sympathy of many friends in the pass,
ing of her cherished companion.
The funeral services will be conduc.

First Baptist church, of which the de-
ceased was long member. The pail
bearers will be Messrs Thornton Wheat
ley, E. L. Murray, VIM. M. Tullls, J.

church this afternoon will begin at
