When they reached the point Albert
could not restrain his desire to enjoy

and beautiful girl a little longer. The

What Promised TO BE a Sensational
Case 10 Dismissed.
The Kirk case this morning failed
to develop any direct connection OF
Ed Cooper or Charles Sullivan with
the drugging OF John Kirk, although
IL was alleged that Sullivan had been
with Kirk. No attempt was made by
the prosecution TO take up the matter
OF the drugging, which Is supposed to
have been done In o DON used by the
young men, owing to the disappear
ance OF Kirk. No evidence, II is as
serted by cooper's friends, connects
him with the crime.
Justice Pricbett this morning held
the boys TO the district court under u
charge Of vagrancy. The evidence in
the case, according 70 the statement
OF the court, showed to principal
occupation Of the young men TO be
that Of ~"gamestersJ and as a result
they were bound over on a bond OF
$4,000 each to appear before the dis
trict Judge.

that 1t would be difficult thing to

All of the times he was fighting for
his rights in the Cherokee Nation were
more or less turbulent. There are two
events which nearly resulted in an
open conflict with the Cherokee sh0r-
IFS. The first was in 1859 or 1870
when Sheriff Albert johnson OF So.

claim had been contested,
Watts was then living In the rio,,

not far from Fort Smith, Ark, and tho
sheriff started with deputies to ev,ct
him. At Cottonwood, l. T.. the sbories

and that If the attempt was mad -
would result in bloodshed. II

The Exile of Erin.
r.GTN.x na.gs1HbzuxR RHsEsEHeGsS"sr"

There came to the beach a poor exile
of Erin,
The dew on his thin robe was hea's
and chill:
For his country he sighed, when at '"l-
light repairing
To wander alone by the "lhu-oe"'7N
HILL
Rut the dav-star attracted his eyes sad
devotion. .
For if rose DER his own native isle of
the ocean,
| Where once. In the fire OF his youthlul
emotion,
He sang the bold anthem of Erin go
hragh.
Sad is my fate. said the heart-broken
stranger;
The wild deer and wolf to a covert can
fee;
But | have no refuge from famine and
danger,
4 home and a country remain not 10
|. me.
Never again in the green sunny bowers,
Where my forefathers lived, shall l
spend the sweet hours,
Or cover my harp with the wild-woven
flowers
And strike to the numbers of Erin 6"
bragh.
Erin, my country! though sad and for
saken,
In dreams ! revisit thy sea-beaten
shore;
But alas! In far foreign land l
awaken,
And sigh for the friends who can meet
me no more,
Oh, cruel fate wilt thou never replace
me
In a mansion of peace-where no perilS
can chase me?
Never again shall my brothers embrace
me?
They died to defend me, or live to
deplore!
Where is my cabin door, fast by the
wild wood?
Sisters and sire. did ye weep for its
fall?
Where is the mother that look'd on my
childhood?
And where is the bosom-friend, dearer
than all?
Oh! my sad heart! long abandoned by
pleasure.
Why did it dote on a fast-fading treas
ure?
Tears, like the rain-drop, may fall with
out measure
But rapture and beauty they cannot
recall
Yet, all its sad recollections suppressing,
One dying wish my lone bosom can
draw;
Erin! an exile bequeaths thee his bless
ing!
Land of my forefathers! Erin go
bragh.
Buried and cold, when my heart stills
her motion,
Green be thy tields-sweetest isle Of the
ocean!
And thy harp-strking bards sing aloud
with devotion
Erin mavournin-Erin 90 bragh!

a child, sweetly sleeping. The parents
knelt beside the bed, those two, long

then and there pledged once more their
everlasting love.
Angels seemed to tell the sleeping
child the glad news, for the little face
