THREE MORE
RESERVATIONS
Had Other Business Requiring
Personal Attention.


Three United States commissioners,
Leeds, Tate and Tfotter, have sent in
their designations TO Judge Raymond
and they have been accepted.
From tic statements accompanying
these designations it would appear
that the act was voluntary on the part
Of the commissioners The only rea-
son they gave was that they had other
business to look after which required
all OF their time.
There are already d number Of APP
plicants for tho places, but Judge
Raymond il holding court al Eufala
and will hardly iill the vacancies until
next week.
Leeds Is the man who was indicted
by two different grand jurles few
months ago. lie was charged with
conspiracy on one indictment and with
usurpatlon OF Office on the other. How
ever, the trial court acquitted him on
both charges. The Others have also
had trouble, but have never had any
charge instituted in the courts

is SEQUOYAH
FOUND AGAIN (?
Skeleton of American Cadmus
Still a MOOted Question.

+. Fancher, real estate and mining
property dealer Of Snyder, Oklahoma,
was In Lawton recently and made It a
point to tell a reporter Of his discovery
OF an Indian skeleton near his mining
claim last December. The discovery
was made public at that time. Mr.
Fancher said.
Late one evening as was coming
Ia from my work a rabbit ran IN front
of me aud disappeared In the crevice
Of some rocks that had been piled on
the side Of small hill. / followed
the rabbit and In removing the rocks
70 get az II found the skeleton and
the other things | now 50 much prize.
Among them Is a silver medal, four
inches In diameter, perfectly round,
composed Of two pieces Of solid silver
clamped together on the clrcumfer-
e..ee, on one side OF which Is inscribed
In raised form tomahawk and pipe,
with their handle crossed, fbeneath
them two clasped hands, representing
the army and navy OF the United
States, on one Of which is an Ameri-
can eagle and on the other three but
tons to Which the strips OF colors were
attached; beneath them are the words
Peace and Friendship on the other
side Of the medal are the words, ar
ranged around the border like the in
scriptions on doller, I'm. JEFFERSON,
PRESIDENT or THE UNITED STATES,
A. d. 1901 and IN the center OF the
medal is engrasen the picture OF JEFF
ferson.
among the other things / found
were a iiintlock rifle, seven Hints, three
bars Of leadI hand made .buIlctsmolds
and bullet ladies'. i frying pan. pipe,
a buckle. an AZ on tomahawk, an old
fashioned English hoe and some mug
gets Of copper
'From all The investigations have
made, am inclined to the opinion
that the dead man was none other
than sequoyah, the chief Of the Cher
okees, % whom vas given this silver
medal by the government for the work
Of forming an alphabet Cor the Chero-
kee language. Il Is known fact that
only two Of these medals were In ex-
istence, and that one Of them was In
the possession Of Sequoyah.
Since making this find book has
been sent NE from England giving a
biography Of sequoyah. In this book
II is stated that he came into the
Wichita mountains in 1857, and there
died and nothing more was known Of
him. This biography states that he
was crippled IN tie left leg. The
skeleton ! found shows that the left
leg had been affected and was probably
shorter Than the other. There was
three oti4er men who started out with
him from 81 Louis that year, and
they lost theif horses IN the Wichits
mountains What became of the other
men i unknown. According 10 this
book, seQuoyahs name IN English was
