Work About Over
Choctaw and Chickasaw Citizenship
Courts Soon TO Break Up.

Muskogee, l. T., Aug. II. The
citizenship courts Of the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nations are about to
complete their work. Their legal
lives, according to the provision
creating them, expires naturally
December 1, Of this year, but at
torneys for these nations say that
everything will be finished by Octo-
Der /, unless unforeseen complica-
tions intervene.
The citizenship courts we're ere
ated by special act for the pur-
pose of deciding the rights to citi-
zenship of about 4, 900 persons by
the commissioners, after having
been rejected by the Dawes COM
mission. In the Greek and Chero-
kee nations, the decision of the
Dawes commission was final iii all
claims TO citizenship, but in the
Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. a
commission was appointed by the
federal courts having the right to
enroll citizens.
This commission soon alarmed
the officials by reason OF large num-
bers Of successful applicants and
through the efforts of Mansfield,
McMurray & Cornish. attorneys
for the Choctaw-C Chickasaw nations
the citizenship courts were estab-
lished, and rigid investigation in
TO the rights of those enrolled by
the commission was begun. These
courts were established about two
years ago, and up to date they have
ordered stricken from the rolls the
names of about ? 500 favorably
passed upon by the Choctaw
Chickasaw commissioners. 1t
seems probably that few of the en-
tire 1000 will remain, when the
work is completed.
The attorneys Of these two ma
tions are TO be paid fees the amount
of which is to be fixed by the ecourts
In addition to this the firm gets
SIo.o a year for representing the
nations in other matters. 1t IS
probable that the compensation for
the citizenship work will be sufh-
Client TO pay the attorneys for ali
their trouble.

Eccentric French baroness Devotes
Her Life 20 Rescuing Homeless
Ours from Paris Streets.

The Baroness dHerpent, like Robert
G. Ingersoll, has decided that the moro
she learns of men the more she likes
dogs She spends her entire time in
rescuing dogs Of the streets.
To such an extent does she carry her
cult that babies are her pet aversion.
In 1902 James Gordon Bennett founded
at Gehnevilliers, near Paris, refuge
for animals. Since that time it has been
taken In charge by the eccentric baro-
ness, who is cousin Of the French novel
ist "Gyp'-Countess de Martel.
This Baroness G'Herpent declares that
her disgust with humanity in general led
her to befriend animals, better worth
trusting than mankind. Her house is
fairly running over with dogs and cats,
picked up by her or her attendants, or
sent there by people who pick them UP in
Paris. If anybody in the city finds a
stray animal he has only to telephone his
"fnd" TO Gehnevilliers and the baroness
Immediately sends for 1t.
The Gordon Bsnnett fund is not suf-
dciant to cover all the expenses Of the
baroness continually increasing family,
and she folicits aid from all animal low
ers whenever she can.
She keeps the most forlorn creatures
that 10 one else would have in her own
private rooms. In appearance the baro-
ness is short. slight, straight and very
active, though more than so years old.
She is always found in work-day attire.
Large shoes, gardeners apron, and
short skirts add TO her extremely super
cilious expression. and make her a very
original and interesting figure.

DIG UP KING OF MAsToDoNs
Scientists Lnearth Most Gigantic
Bones Ever Discovered in
New York Village.

In the village Of Belvidere, N. Y, have
taen discovered the bones OF a masto-
con, from all appearances the king Of
bis race Of prs historic animals. The
FIRST bone discovered, which was about
four feet in length was taken to Brad
ford and ther9 Dr. James johnson, for
n.erly connected with the Smithsonian
institution, pronounced il TO be por-
ticu c rib of a mastcdon. Dr. John
son notified Alban Stewart, of the in
s.itution, OF the find and he went to
Belyidere Together the two scientists
took a force of workmsn and began
making excavations along the railroad.
Thus far three ribs and four verte-
hrae have been unearthed This makes
a section OF the animals back about IL
inches in length. The largest mastooon
ever unearthed is In the Smithsonian
institution and the yertebrae Of his
skeleton are i've inches In width, the
whole animal being 25 feet long and IL
feet in height
Each OF the vertebras Of the animal
discovered near Belyidere is six inches
ia width, thus making the animal when
alive the largest Known at this time.
Compared to other mastodons, he would
stand like a Jumbo compared TO the
ordinary elephant.
Mr., Stewart Is authority for the state
ment that these are by far the largest
bones Of any animal ever discovered.
Ike asserts that the animal must have
lived 25.00O years ago.
