ORPHAN ASYLUM,
Misoelianeous Notes--Jaek Riley for
Appraiser

Charles Whiteday has begun to turn
the ground on the asylum farm.
Or W. e. Smith, our former medi-
cal superintendent, IS getting ready
70 move to Colliusyille, where he win
reside IN the future. Dr. 7. r. Tilly,
who has been doing the asylum prac-
tice since Dr. Smith resigned, Is quite
sick at his home In Pryor Creek.
The health Of pupils aud employees
continues good and the doctor bills are
at their minimum
Mr.. and Mrs. Garrett entertained a
number Of young people from town

spent In delightful manner, All Ap-
pearing to have jolly good time
Tie guests present were: Misses
Cannon, Lewis, Frazier, Mrs. Mitch

After some time spent at pit, music,
and other amusements, refreshments,
consisting Of fruits and candies, were
served.
At meeting Of claimants OF the
lands to be taken IN allotment, for.
merly held boy the orphan asylum, on
the 18th inst, as was announced last
week, a majority Of the participants
selected Jack Riley as the man TO aid
Supervisor Benedict In appraising the
Improvements. As soon as Mr.. Riley
can set time TO meet the supervisor
at the old place the appraisement will
be made. This is to be in accordance
with the recent treaty, which provides
for same. While the treaty Is the
law on this subject IL seems that when
any money is paid for these improve
ments il should be placed to the credit
Of the orphan fund, and not, as the
treaty stipuiates. to the Cherokee Na
tional fund. The money that mad,
these Improvements came ont Of IN,
orphan fund and should, by right. e
back 20 that fund. In this appraise
ment, it is the opinion ofa great man,
that the money expended 70 put tn

one inmate III particular Of this IN
sttution, has had quite an unusual
career. A dozen or more years ago,
this man. an Indian named John
Eagle, was IN the house Of Ned Chris
tie in Flint district, the time the Of
ilcers made an attack on that strong
hold Being unable TO dislodge the
outlaws by other means, tie officers
set fire 10 the house and killed Chris
tie when he attempted TO escape.
Eagle was severely burned, bat was
doctored up and sent to the peniten-
tlary.
Last season he was arrested for lar
ceny and while IN Jail at this place
was attacked by pneumonia. The
case was a very severe one and the
physicians had TO cut him open 10 let
the pus out Eagle was turned
to die, but IL appears this is about the
last thing he intends doing, for he got
fat and healthy and gives no evidence
Of the very close calls he had had TO
cross the river. Ills propensity for
dealing too freely with the property
Of othersdoes not appear TO be inn
paired IN the least.
Ned Christie, mentioned above, is
the man who shot l.. +. lsbell In tile
shoulder, rendering him a cripple for
life, but this was IN a previous engage
ment, in which he was not captured.
