Vile novelty this season. Solutions and

Miss Aliens season opened a fortnight
ago, and from such criticisms as have come
to hand 1t appears that she has achieved
a notable success. Those who saw Miss

been the dramatic treat of the season. Her
second appearance, then. in a Shakespear-
ian comedy may be classed as a purpose
justified by achievement, rather than as
an effort that is offered an experiment.

AS HER ALLOTM ENT.
Excitement Is Caused by Act of Mrs.
Henson.

Guthrie. o. T, March 15.-Word has
been received here that there is great
excitement in the town Of Francis in the
Chickasaw nation on account of the at
tempt of Mrs Virginia West Henson,
who claims to be a citizen of the Chick
asaw nation TO have the land on which
the town is located set apart as her al
lotment 1t is claimed that the quarter
section on which the town is mostly locat-
ed and which the Indian woman claims,
is worth $3.50, 600 and The people of the
town are very naturally worked up over
the prospect of losing their homes. Evi-
dence taken in the contest at Muskogee
on the 18th of this month shows the fol-
lowing to be the points at issue:
Francis was located upon unallotted
land. and after it had attained sufficient
size the citizens wished TO have the
land upon which il is located segregated
by the government for townsite purposes,
and the lots sold as in government towns.
While this question was under discussion
however, Mrs. Virginia West Henson.
Chickasaw citizen, applied to the govern
ment to he allowed TO take up the land
as her allotment. This stopped the ques-
tion as 10 segregating the townsite and
instructions were forwarded TO the
Dawes commission that they should take
testimony in The case and forward a
transcript OF it to Washington. From this
the secretary of the interior viii decide
whether the land should be segregated o.
allotted as Mrs. Henson requests.

SEEKING TO IDENTIFY.
1t Not Yet Known Who the Man Found
Dead Was.

Kingfisher. o. T., March 15.-About
noon Sunday. February 2s, Clifford Cham
herlain and another boy discovered the
body of man i'm Kingfisher creek. few
rods north of the city limits and west
of the Rock Island track. but separated
from il hundred feet five-wire
fence stands at the edge of the right
of-way, so that by no conceivable acci-
dent could he have been thrown from the
track to the spot where found.
The body was that of a man between
50 and 40 years old five feet ten inches
tall and heavily built. light complexioned
and brown curly hair. He was well
dressed. in dark waist and overcoat. two
pairs dark striped pants, double breasted
tan vest with polka-dots. light blue
striped shirt undressed kid gloves. Both
coats were buttoned and so were his
gloves. When his gloves were removed
there was found the mark of a ring on the
little finger of his left hand. The fore
finger or the right hand was off where
the root of the nail had been. Several
of his upper teeth had been filled with
gold and one was gold capped.
The body was in water from twelve to
eighteen inches deep and was lying on
its face He had the appearance Of hav-
ing been dead some days No road or
path led by the place; the banks. sheltered
by bushes, rose about thirty feet above
the creek bed. His face had bruises, his
forehead an open cut and under the left
ear was another wound. No marks OF
violence were upon his body, nor was
his skull broken, yet there were enough
marks to indicate that he came to his
death by foul means.
In his pockets were some keys. cop
per cent and memorandum book. The
latter had written iengthwise on the edge
of a leaf the name of Fred W. Howard.
Fort Worth Tex. and on the opposite
edge of the leaf name that was illegi-
BILE. and the word Enid. His clothing
was laundry marked NJ III. c. No one
identified the body. though many visited
1t at Morsmans undertaking rooms Some
came from Hennessey. but none recog-
nized ID.
DIR. Fisk, coroner organized a jury,
who rendered verdict that the deceased
came to his death feloniousiy. at the
hands of some person or persons un-
known to the jury.

the application was brought before the
citizenship court, where the plaintiffs
were represented by T. w. Neal. OF the
firm of Neal & London. whose partner
was one of the plaintiffs
In support OF their claims number OF
ex parte affidavits were introduced which
had been used en' the hearings in 1885,
and these affidavits were impeached by
the nations. The opinion says adams.
j.:
This is the evidence in the case, and
presents TO my mind a condition most
appalling; a condition that 1t is hard to
believe can exist in civilized and
Christianized country.
This adjudication was based upon the
alleged affidavits of supposed witnesses.
some of whom have come into court and
solemnly sworn that they made no such
affidavits. In fact. if the evidence in this
case is to be believed, not one OF the
affidavits offered by the plaintiffs is
genuine, and not one of the witnesses
ever saw the affidavits before or when
they were signed except possibly the
witness j. E. London. who was the at
torney in the case at that time.
IF this evidence is 10 be believed the
applicati ton. or some of them. in order
10 enhance their claim, have deliberately
filed lot of supposed afidavits of per-
sons who never saw the affidavits: OF
persotns who never existed. and of per-
sons who died prior TO the date Of making
OF such alleged affidavits. II this evi-
dence is to be believed. the names OF
aotaries public have been forged by semc
one; seals placed upon papers and then
erased: the alleged affidavits changed in
many particulars; the name of notary
public used who never existed: a sup
posed affidavit offered of an old lady who
was lying upon a bed of affiction suf-
ferirg from a stroke Of paralysis, and
dying before the affidavit was filed. These
facts are testified TO by reputable wit
nesses: they are uncontradicted, although
the plaintiffs were given an opportunity
by this court to offer evidence. If such
existed, to rebut the evidence OF the ma
tions They have failed to do this; and
in view of the evidence and the circum-
stance surrounding the case l am led
irresistibly to the conclusion that this
evidence is true. and feel that further
comment is unnecessary"
