A Pathetic Scene.

A scene that bordered on the pa
thetic was enacted in front of the
Grand opera house yesterday after
noon. No conference session was in
progress, but here and there were
gathered knots Of ministers discuss
ing their work and hopes.
From a little group near the front
entrance arose the song of hymns
sung in the language of the Redmen.
Revs. Clark and Methven, for several
years missionaries among the Apaches
Comanches and Kiowas, had gather
ed about them several Of the Indian
delegates and together they were
praising the Lord with song, Among
the Indians was Rev. Moty Tiger, the
last chaplain Of the House of War
riors Of the Creek council. His mind
apparently dwelt on the memory of
William Jmboy, last chaplain of the
Creek House Of Kings, and himself o
member of the Indian mission. As
the old Indian chaplain sang his eyes

Although Il. b. Weitzel, proprietor
Of the Alcorn hotel, has never drawn
pension from the government for
war services during his youth, his
battling record since reaching a good
old age, entitled him to front rank
in the hall of valor. Mr.. Weitzel
has turned fifty-nine years, but in
the last two months, has personally
conducted two amateur pugilistic en-
counters, emerging victoriously in
both instances. The first incident oc-
cured early in the month Of October,
at which time Mr. Weitzel cleaned
up two negroes who were in his en-
ploy, for offering impudent words to
him in connection with affairs about
the house. A witness to this engage
ment states that for about eighty
seconds the wool flew in every direc-
tion, but Notwithstanding the odds
against him, the doughty seXtogen-
arian came out without scratch.

San Francisco, Nov. 15,-Today
the grand jury brought five indict-

fixed at $4,000 and bond at $4,000.
The first alleged crime was in con.

Ruef and Schmidt demanded money
from the proprietor, Tony Bunco. As
the demand was made, it is said, on
two occasions, two indictments were
returned. Extoption is believed to have
been practiced upon Ed Marchand,
the proprietor Of Marchand's restaur.

Morgan fingered, and abusing the
clerk roundly, told what he was go
ing to do to Weitzel when the latter
should show himself Weitzel, in his
stocking feet, was standing at the
head of the stairs on the second floor
landing and heard the dire threat. He
came down the steps, four at a time,
and sailed into Morgan. That indi-
vidual, although young and strap
ping specimen of humanity, was soon
shown to be no match for Weit2el,
who knocked him down, picked him
up, Knocked him down again, and re-
peated the dose until he grew weary
of wcll-doing. At the close he tele-
phoned police headquarters and had
Morgan arrested for disturbing the
peace.
In police court yesterday morning,
Morgan gave bond for his appearance
next Monday afternoon. and was
taken in charge by friends, who
nursed him through a sore and troub-
lous day, BY the application of
much bcefsteak, and the multi-hyper-
dermic injection of sedatives, Morgan
was finally brought out of his trance.
Morgan is an oil man from Musko-
gee, The Jones who appear to be Of
good reputation, are said to live on a
farm near Ramona. Morgan, it is said,
was negotiating with them on an oil
lease.

Muskogee, Nov l5,--Charges of
suppressing the records aud discrim-
mating against attorneys were filed
tonight before the senate investigat-
ing committee against William o.
Beall, chief clerk of the Dawes com
mission in this city. The charges

inuendo involve Commissioner Tams
Bixby. Webster Ballinger a promin-
ent lawyer, newspaper man and Wash
ington correspondent, is conducting
the examination in behalf Of the
claimants.
Ballinger alleged beall and
Bixby were deliberately responsible
for wrongful enrolment as negro

sons of mixed negro and Indian blood
in the Choctaw and Chickasaw ma
tions. These freedmen get only forty
acres Of land, as against 32O acres OF
land and participation in the tribal
fund allowed Indian citizens.
The charges contain the statement
that Beall left the Office of Bixby and
held employment with land firm at
South McAlester, giving the firm in
side information that was used
against Ballenger's clients, and that
afterward Beall resumed a position
under Bixby. Bixby and Beall deny
all allegations.

John j. Tigert, one of the eleven
who constitute the college of bish-
ops Of The Methodist Episcopal church
South, is lowering between life and
death at his rooms in the Brady ho-
tel, in this city, Bishop Tlgert was
prostrated after conducting the OPP
ening session of the Methodist
conference last Wednesday morn
ing and was compelled to take to his
bed at once. Since that time his i'll.
ness has increased, and his condi.
ton is now considered very grave
by his attending physician, DR.. Fred
S. Clinton. DR.. Clinton, however,
hopes that he will succeed in saving
Rev. Tigert's life.
The bishop is suffering from acute
tonsilitis, caused by the lodgment of
a small bone in his throat about ten
days ago. The distinguished divine
was taken i'll at Atoka, where he was
the guest of Rev. w. d. Matthews,
pastor Of the church at that place. lie
was considered too i'll to travel at
that time, but insisted on performing
his duties as bishop.
At late hour last night, there was
no perceptible change in the famous
prelate's condition. DR.. Fred S. Clin-
ton, the attending physician, when
seen by reporter for the World and
asked for a statement regarding Bish-
op Tigert's health, said
"Some days ago, bone lodged in
his throat. As it was forced into the
tonsil from below in an effort to
expel it, while coughing or strangling,
it was impossible for his physicians
to locate it for several days, and
until after a severe and extensive sup
peration had occurred. While his COM
diton is considered critical, his recovi
cry is expected"
