MEDAL SHOWS PEACE COMPACT
Struck in Honor Of First Treaty Be-
tween Indian and Saxon.

A"CSts sSNSdu SaISO 0dACBI.
A silver medal commemorating a
treaty between the Creek tribe and
Great Britain during the reign of
George III is in the possession Of a
citizen of Muskogee. The medal
weighs three and half ounces, meas
ures three inches in, diameter, and is
in an excellent state of preservation,
having been treasured in buckskin
pouch and exhibited only on occasions
when national festivities we're OBJ
served
Upon the face of the medal appears
in bold relief picture of King
George and an inscription, as follows:
"Georgius III, D. G. M. bri fra hib rex
F. D." Upon the reverse side appears
picture of an Indian and a white man
sitting under tree smoking the pipe
of peace, with three ships resting at
settlers home nestled among the trees
by the seashore. Above this picture
is the legend: Happy While United
Surmounting the medal is an eagles
wing and pipe Of peace.
This treaty medal is regarded as
being the oldest in existence, and
probably commemorates the first com
pact established between the Indian
| and the Saxon. It was handed down
from chief to chief until about half a
century ago, when it was intrusted to
the head men Of the Tokepache town
the most powerful of all the. Creek
towns.

Less Fiction, in Demand.

Boston, as shown by the public Ii.
brary report, read r1f.51 per cent less
fiction last year than the year before.
It seems, however, that this result
was chiefly due to the restrictive. ef-
forts of the librarian, who says that '.of
$50 volumes Of fiction passed under
consideration during the year only 1855
titles were accepted" Even at that
rate Of rejection it would have been
rather difficult for Bostonians to keep
up with the output OF the story tellers,
as the reader, would have had to wade
through over eleven dozen novels II
twelve months. ...ss

Always roaming like Ulysses, with a
fierce and hungry soul
Always trailing like gypsy, questing for
fair greensward goal. ..,
Take me back to old Chicago, where
they're always on a strike,
Where there's always something doing,
like Jim Bludsoe on the Pike,
Oh the big old city calls me like a moth
er to her side,
I have roamed graceless truant, sWol-
len with rebellious pride.
Take me back to old Chicago far across
the sundering sea,
Let me get in touch with F5a1sted-Bub-
bly, Creeks the place for me.
What's the good of always rowing like
swallow on the wing,
Sweeping like a stealthy sea gull always
yearning for the spring.
Always roaming like Ulysses with a
fierce and hungry soul,
Trailing like a swarthy gypsy, sashay-
ing. to the farthest pole.
Every man brags of his birthplace-Chi-
cago is the town for me
Oh the big old clumsy city, sprawling
round the inland sea!

KILLS BROTHER
WITH SHOTGUN
Los Angeles Man Takes Life
of Relative Who Opposed
Him in a Family Quarrel
Special Dispatch to The cali.


LOS ANGELES. Dec. q. = Wholly
without provocation and his only mo-
tive being that he believed his brother
had not taken his part properly in an
old family quarrel, Christopher G..
Champion. aged 81, to-day committed
the sixth murder which has been COM
mitted in Los Angeles within a month
when he riddled the body Of his broth
er, Thomas D. Champion, aged Sc, with
buckshot. The tragedy was enacted be-
fore the eyes Of the wife and family of
the victim. One of his sons was hurry
ing forward to endeavor to disarm his
enraged uncle. Had the latter had an
other load In his shotgun he would
have killed his nephew also, for he
pulled the trigger, but the left barrel
contained no shell.
The two Champion families resided
near the northwestern limits of the
city. Some time ago Christopher quar-
relied with his wife and father and
drove them from his home. His broth
er the victim of to-days tragedy,
demonstrated with him and was told if
he ever entered the premises he would
be killed. To-day Christopher saw the
daughter of his brother passing the
place and took a shot at her. but the
range was too great and she escaped.
When her father returned she told him
of the incident and he started TO put
up his team, intending to later ask his
brother If Il reconciliation were not nos
sible. At sight of him his brother
rushed from his house with his gun
and shot him down without giving him
q chance to defend himself.
The murderer was overpowered by
his nephew. bound with ropes and held
for the police. He took his arrest with
the utmost GOODNESS, saying he did not
care how soon they hanged him.

JEROME HOPES TO LAND
ACCOAPLICES OF DODGE
District Attorney on the Trail of Men
of Prominence in New
York

NEW YORK, Dec. 27.-District At
torney Jerome and his assistants are
working hard to obtain corroborativc
evidence in connection with the con-
fession of Charles F. Dodge, who was
brought here from Texas on a charge
of perjury, which grew out of the
Morse-Dodge divorce ENHANCEMENT.
This confession, according to current
report, involves a conspiracy on the
part of men well known here to de-
feat the ends of justice, but the Dis
trict Attorney is understood to take
the position saat corrobofation of the
statement is "a necessity before any
court or jury. because Dodge admits
that he committed perjury.
The procuring Of this corroborative
evidence is one of the most difficult
tasks which has ever confronted the
public prosecutor, but Jerome is con-
fident that he will soon have a COM
plete case against at least three men,
and he is hopeful that his investiga-
ton will lead him not only to the in
struments of the alleged conspiracy,
but to the men whose interests made
it virtually necessary that the cons
spiracy should be carried out as the
District Attorney believes it was
planned.
