a way to escape the impending thun-

That the gold noble that he had drop

had no doubt. In that event Mr.. Pope
would discover that his suspicious had

Protecting the Indians.

Washington, December 11.-Commissio.-- CT of Indian Affairs Leupp, in his annual report, says that his hope that the sale of intoxicating liquors to Indians would be greatly diminished by the employment of special officers out of the fund appro- priated for the supp 'cssioa of the liquor traffic has been reai'ged nsyond all eXpec- tation.
 During the eleven months of service or Special Officer Johnscd in the Indian ter ritory, he and llis dspu;les nave made or directly caused i91 arrests in whisky cases that have resulted in grand jury indict- ments. This list is exclusive of arrests m cases where the United states comnlls- soner failed to hold the prisoner over ,o inc grand jury as well as many arrests made by deputy marshals on information furnished by him.
 The report adds:
 towing. to the fact that nearly all 'he gamblers in the Indian terr'tory also traffic in whisky, or are active abettors of whisky peddling, MT. johnson has had occasion to make war on these people, and his raids have resulted in the arrests of 59 gamblers and the destruction Of t2 gambling houses and collection of nearly s15 GOO in fines.

Wanted To Die.

It has been learned that 4larance B. Irvine the young watchmaker who com mitted suicide last Sunday morning, had fully made up his mind to die, as he left a note for a young man in this city, and the note was not discovered until late Sunday evening. There were two notes, one to the young man and one incosed, and he was requested not to open it until next Sunday No cause can be as- signed for this request, and the gentle man to whom he sent the note cannot imagine how it could have gotten to him, as no one seems to know when 1t was placed on the table in his room. He had been in Birmingham and he heard of the tragedy as he got off the car. He went to his room about 10 o'clock and found the note above described. He states that while\he knew the young man quite well he never dreamed that he would end his own life. The contents of the note will be made public on Sunday.

INDIANS CHEATED
 OUT OF PROPERTY Report of Senate Committee
 Shows Startling Facts NAMES OF INDIANS FORGED Fraudulent Practices Are Mentioned In Which Men Worked Among In. dans and Got Signatures For
 Deeds By sehemina.
NAMES OF INDIANS FORGED

Washington, December 1.-The sub committee of the Senate committee on Indian affairs, consisting of Senators Tel les, Curtis and LaFollette, which inyes- tigated'the alleged fraudulent purchase of kiekapoo Indian lands located in Okla homa' held meeting today and prac- tically agreed upon the report which would be submitted to the Senate.
 The report will disclose other start ling series of more or less alleged shady transactions that went on near the Mex iean border, where a number of the Kick apoos were living when the law was passed allowing them to dispose of their lids in Oklahoma and where some of them were taken by white men. The sub committee went to Eagle Pass, Tex, in November and examined large number of Indian and white witnesses.
 The reports will show that certain parties of men had formed partnerships and raised capital with the expressed view of cheating the Indians out of their lands. In this connection, the report will mention certain names and charge that there were through fraudulent practices obtained at an expenditure of not over S20, 000 lands aggregating in value s25o0O0. Some of the men named, the report will say, were not actively at work among the Indians but they were found to have fr.nished funds for the alleged corrupt dealings.
 The committee also found evidence Of corrupt Mexican officials and bankers in that region. It also found that names of Indians had been forged to a large number of deeds and checks. One In- dian, the report will state. was arrested on a charge of murder and released after he had agreed to sell a certain strip of his land worth s15,oOO for 5000. The deed in the transaction showed that several pieces of land had been included in the description and the Indian was made to sign it without knowing its true contents. The report will show that a great deal of brutal treatment was accorded the ln- dians by the parties in question.
 Special mention will be made Of in- cidents a. Musquez, where Indian women were subjected to outrageous treatment and insult
 The subcommittee will meet tomorrow and agree upon the recommendations IL will make to the Senate.

Hear Kicks on Schedule.

The Judiciary committee to whom the proposed new license schedule has been referred. will hold meeting at the city hall at o'clock on Friday evening" and 1t is up to any one that has a kick com ing with regard to the proposed changes In the schedule, to be on hand and tell their troubles. The committee Is composed of Alderman Grimes, chairman, and Lacy Edmundson and Capt. A A. Ross
 The meeting will no doubt be an in- teresting one. as there are good many people in the city doing business that feel that they are not getting a fair show.
 For instance, the hotels in the city have been paying s15 per year for the privilege of doing business. The council proposes to raise this license to s31 per year.
 The proprietors of the hotels state that they would not object to the raise in license one bit provided that the differ ent boarding houses were compelled to pay something for the privilege of doing business, They point out that there are several boarding houses in the city that also do a large transient business, in addition to running a boarding house for permanent boarders and they do not feel that this is just.
 The pawnbrokers and money lenders combined will no doubt also be heard rom. As the matter now stands n pawn broker takes out license to run a pawn shop and he also lends out money under the same license. The regular money lender on the other hand, has to pay about the same amount of license and l he only has one side of the business It has been remarked by several tha | there would hardly he much kick mad 1 on the proposed raise, but judging from
 the way some of the people have ex. pressed themselves today there will be several to be numbered among those pres
 ent when the time comes for the abov, 1 guardians of the city's welfare to look

Lon Tyler Kills Neuro.

Lon Tyler marshal of Jonesboro, shot and killed negro this evening at 10 clock. The name of the negro could not be learned as no communication could be had with Jonesboro. From the state ment of several people who were near at the time of the shooting 1t seems that Tyler had arrested the negro and was taking him to the jail. The negro broke and ran and Tyler shot at him several times without hitting him. He finally managed to run the negro down and was taking him to the jail for a second time, when the nefro turned on him and threw him over in q ditch and got good and ready 10 carve him up. The negro had him down and was on top of him. Tyler hnally managed to get to his gun be- fore the negro could take it away or cut him and gave him the benefit of several barrels. The negro rolled over and, of course, after that the jail was not needed
 An undertaken was called instead.
