oLEAN, n. Y, April "a murder occurred
IN a woods on the farm Of j. P. Atkins, in
the town Of Little Valley this morning at
about 9 O'Clock, and the murderer, Lester
Henry, an Indian and a Carlisle student,

Tlisoarora reservation, and II Is thought
he has gone that way, The murdered man
Il Levi Peters, another Indian, who, with
Henry, lafayette Thompson and Amos
A. Obadiah was cutting wood and mangle
rollers on the Atkins farm.
The men had been camping on the place

other three, had no place 10 60 10 and was
feeling sour over II.
While the three were breakfasting this
morning Henry appeared and, as Obadiah
says, advanced across the room, took down
a loaded pistol and began firing. In a
few seconds Thompson was yelling with
pain, having been shot in the shoulder,
Peters lay dead and Obadiah was under
a heavy plank table. which saved him from
the bullets sent after him. Henry backed
out Of the door as he fired and disappeared
in the woods.

COmmiSsiOnership?
There seems TO be some well founded
expectation that the long vacant Deputy
Bridge Commissionership will be filed
withina week or so. The place has all along
been conceded 10 the Borough OF Brook
lyn, but OF course under any circum-
stances, in view Of the present relations,
personal and political. between Charles
+. Murphy and Senator Patrick Henry
McCarTen, there il not the remotcst chance
that any friend Of tho latter will get the
appointment. II was owing, in fact, TO his
refusal 10 desert MoCarren in the last
primary rumpus that GottfHed West
ernacher lost the job.
The appointment OF Westemaohers
successor has been held up for such long
period because Of the lack Of concert among
the anti-McCarren managers in Brooklyn.
Although there has always been half a
dozen or more candidates in the field for
the berth, the leaders OF the anti-McCar-
rem faction have found II impossible 20

titled because of his having married
into The tribe and been adopted. His
claim was made under the act of 1895.
He is citizen of Minco, |. T.
There are twenty-nine such cases,
involving $4,000 acres of land and
there may be more The secretary of
