iKDIAhs T, KEEP RICHES.
Whites Lose Suit for Stare Of chero.
kee Wealth.

Washington-Tae supreme court Of
the United States Monday affirmed the
decision of the court OF claims in the
case of Daniel Red Bird, the Chero-
kee nation and others, versus the
United States, known as "the White
Mans Case" The cases involved the
long pending claims of 1000 and 5000
white persons to participate in the dis
tributton of the lands and the funds of
the Cherokee nation because of mar.
rage with members of the tribe.
Threre are over 4,000,00O acres Of land
and the tribal funds are extensive.
The decision was favorable to the In.
dams.
The Indians strenuously resisted the
claim, contending that they had never
by law recognized property rights on
account of intermarriage. In passing
upon the cases the court of claims held
that the tribal lands are not communal
lands, but that whites who acquired
citizenship By marriage prior to 1875
have equal interests with the Indians.
In the case OF marriages into the tribe
since that time it was held that no
right of property had been acquired
except by those who had paid into the
common fund the sum of $500. The
court of claims also held that white
husbands of Cherokee women who
have abandoned their wives have for
feited all rights as Cherokee citizens,
including that of participation in the
proceeds of sales of Cherokee lands.
The decision affirmed that decision
in all respects.

Mccall was assaulted and seriously
injured shortly after Z o'clock on the
evening OF the I'd, as he was leaving
his home for the city. He was struck
three times with q club. once be.
hind the ear and on the forehead
after he had fallen.
Suspicion points to local parties

and watching all outgoing trains. MI.
McCall's condition is critical.
Some children playing In the yicin-
ity early in the evening noticed =
stranger lettering In the alley, and
good description OF the assailant was
secured from them. A blunt instru-
| ment, evidently a heavy hickory club,
was used. The first blow landed back
OF the ear and felled Mccall. Not
content with this the man struck the
PROSTATE attorney two more blows on
the forehead, then fed down the alley,
leaving his victim insensible on the
pavement The children at once gave
the alarm.
The police took up the trail and
arrest soon. Suspicion points to local
parties.
No reason can be assigned for the
attempt on MeCall's life. He has
been conducting grand Jury nyestl-
CATION, but the cases are minor cnes,
and not Of sufficient importance TO
cause any Of the persons on trial to
wreak vengeance on him.
Mccall has been in politics for
some time. but this was his f1rst term
as county attorney It was not known
he had any enemies. He Is SON of
former State Senator Mccall and a
brother of John A. Mccall, a well
known Des Moines attorney.

search in an effort to apprehend the
assailant OF County Attorney Mccall,
two men were captured and are lodg-

Burrel is held on the charge of as
sault with intent to commit murder,
and Will Herald, his friend, is confin-

doubt recover.
1t was reported that Burrel. who
had been before the grand jury and
who had become violently angry dur
Ing the examination, had made the
statement before three other wit
nesses after the session that he would
get Mccall, showing a sling shot as
he spoke.

CASHIER is DISCHARGED.
Sensational Developments In EXPIRES:
Robbery at Burlington.


Burlington.-A sensational develop
ment in the recent robbery of the
United States Express company's Of
fee mere, occurred when i. n. Berry,
the cashier who alleged that he had
been slugged and robbed by a thief,
who then helped himself to sack con-
tanning 5000, was discharged by the
company. The police state that the
evidence was strong that Berry him
self had taken the money and used
the hold up as blind. The detec-
tives found that Berry had been spcnc-
Ing money freely, and it is the theory
that when he found his populations
from the company must become known
he instituted the robbery sensation as
cloak for his crime. The large
dark bruise on his face which he ex-
hibited as the mark Of the robbers
club, 1t is alleged, was produced by
acid. The case against Berry will
probably not be pushed, as 1t is said
he is related to prominent individuals
In the company.
