INDIANS LOSE TRIBE SPIRIT
Few Redskins Attended Assembling
Of National Council Of Table
quah Recently.

Tribal spirit is losing ground
among the Cherokees. They IL
taking kindly to the politics of the
white man and abandoning many
of the old customs which fingered
from the century ago. Perhaps
the best evidence of the decline of
Cherokee nationality may be
found in the lack of interest in the
assembling of the national council
at Tahlequah recently, reports the
Vinita Capital. There was no
quorum in the lower house until
late in the meeting, the chiefs an.
nual message was not written at
the time of the assembling of the
council, and the old-time lobby is
reduced to a handful Of third.
rate Cherokee politicians. The
patronage at the disposal of the
chief and council is nothing as
compared with old times. The
Cherokee people have lost interest
and are staying away from the
capital, save as they are called
there to file on their allOtments.
While there is a certain kind OF
pathOs connected with the demise

tinent, as a separate nationality

people, to be proud of. Their
achievements as an Indian tribe

ABOUT RURAL ROADS
That the Carriers are Compelled
to Travel.

Once in grace always in grace is the
belief in some theology, and there may
be some who believe the same as to be-
ing on rural route that once a route,
always a route. Such is not the case.
Roads that carriers must travel over
can not be by patrons allowed to get
impossible or even perilous to the
carrier or his property and yet the mail
continues to come. The REPORTER gives
below a circular from the department
on this subject. 1t is entitled "When
Roads Are Bad" and says:
''The department looks to patrons and
road officials to see that highways COW
cred by rural routes are maintained in
such condition that they can be tray
eled in all seasons. Indifference and
neglect in this matter will be consider
ed a sufficient cause for withdrawal of
rural service from community.
IA rural carrier is not expected to
seriously imperil his life or his animals,
nor to endanger the United States mails
or his equipment, in an attempt to serve
his route under extraordinary condi-
tions of weather.
"At such times the carrier must re-
port at the postofiice at the regular
hour and make reasonable effort to
serve the route. If some portions of
the same are found to be absolutely i'm
passible, a carrier is allowed to deyiate
from the official route to such extent as
may be necessary to reach all patrons
by other roads, provided only partial
service could be given were no devia-
tion made"

One evening last week Loren Gaulter
living three and one-half miles south-
west OF town, met with misfortune
mat may couse him trouble for some
tlme TO come. He went out to the barn
TO unharness his team, and, being in a
hurry, was perhaps, not as careful as he
might have been. One of the horses
resented the manner in which the
n, was pulled off and gave Mr..
Gauiter kick in the right side. Mr..
Gaulter, who is one of those m, n not
frightened at trifles, retired for the
night without calling physician. In
the morning, however, he was feeling SO
much worse that DR.. Homer was called
who found that rib was broken. A.
last accounts Mr.. Gaulter was imnrov-
ing but he will probably have to let
some one else shovel the corn this year.

BaiIey-Lovett Trial.

During the past few months Elmer
Lovett and Uncle Joe Bailey have been
pasturing their cattle on adjoining
fields on the Arnold farm east of town.
On October "a, Uncle Joe came after his
cattle, some thirty-seven head, and find
ing some OF his cattle in the same field
with Elmers drove them out, and with
them two of Lovett's steers as is
claimed by the latter. 1t seems that
Elmer had forty-nine head in the bunch,
and he missed two of them, one horned
and one dehorned. On missing them
he and his hand, Tom Mccullough, went
after the steers, thinking Uncle Joe had
driven them off by mistake. They over
took Mr.. Bailey this side Of his farm.
and Elmer and Tom both pointed one
out as being a steer belonging to Loyett
and another that he thought was his
but could not positively identity it.
MIR. Bailey refusing to surrender the
steer, Elmer sued out writ of replevin
before Esq. Wheeler of this town and
replevined the one that he and McCul-
Tough positively identified.
MIR. Baker employed Geo. Baker, of
Leon, and the plaintiff employed S. II.
Amos, of this town. The defendant
filing motion for change of venue, the
case went over to Leroy before Esq.
Keller. The defendant calling for a
jury, the following named gentlemen
constituted the same: S. Culver, b. d.
Barger, A. W. Stearns, II. l.. Lillard and
Fred Hclmick. On the trial of the case
the steer was positively identified as
the plaintiffs by Elmer Lovett, Tom Nc
Cullough and Mr.. and Mrs. j. C. Scott.
The latter testifying that they had
raised it from a calf and sold it to Mr..
Lovett last February.
Mr.. Bailey and his two sons both
swore that the steer was theirs. After
argument by counsel the jury retired
and after being out two or three hours
returned with verdict in favor of the
plaintiff, thus holding that the plaintiff,
Lovett, showed by a preponderance of
the testimony that the steer was his.
The case was tried Tuesday of this
week. Garden Grove Express.
