The case was yesterday set by agreement of the counsel for the state and for Dill, for trial July 12 and no objection was made at thats time to the trial of Sthe case in this county.

FILES CHEROKEE
 PAYMENT REPORT
GuyOn Miller Find Only 30.0O0 of the 90,000 Claimants Are Entitled t0a
 Slice of the $4.O0O.O0O.

Fort Smith, June 2S -Guyon Miller appointed several years ago by the Court of Appeals on the eastern Cherokee payment, has completed his report and fil- ed it with the court and copies have been sent to Indian Agent Kelsey at Muskogee to all the dis trict agents and to J. R. Cum ningham secretary of the Chero- kee nation at Tahlequah, Okla.
 The report is favorable to on- ly 30,OOO of the 9O,OOO claimants representing 45,OOO applications, They are entitled to participation in the $4.OOO,OOO payment which will be made by the government for losses incurred by the Cher okees when they emigrated from Georgia to what is now the Cher okee nation of eastern Oklahoma
 Those whD made application and were left out by Mr. Miller have still another chance to get on the rolls as the Court of claims will meet the third Mon- day in October for completing and closing of the rolls and soon afterward per capita payment will be made
 Bob Taylor of the Union Ag- Uency at Muskogee who has been making trip through the Choc- taw nation on government busi- ness and who was in Fort Smith today in speaking of the payment said, while per capita payment would not be exactly known un- til the final roll is completed it would in his opinion, amount to about S130. Which means that It Is not expected that many of those turned down in the Miller report will be sue cessful in get ting in on the payment.
 While the majority of those en- titled ito participate in the S4,- OOO,OOO payment live in eastern Oklahoma there are a great many scattered in the different states Of the United States and and some in foreign countries

J. J. COX THE VICTIM
 OF AN ASSAULT
Clubbed by Two DagOes, One of Whom Was Killed and the Other
 Wounded.

Yesterday afternoon about 3SO o'clock J. J, Cox manager of the Pike County Logging Co, at Helbig on the F, & N. w, rail- road was attacked by two Dago peddlers, and severely beaten with club. During the Drubbing someone from the outside, shot one of the peddlers, killing him instantly and wounded the oth- ef one, who finally escaped.
 The facts in the case have been rather difficult to obtain but from information received it seems that the trouble grew out of an interference of the peddlers with the business of MT. Cox who Is running a commissory at Hel- big. The Dagoes had attempted to prejudice the employees of the logging company against the ments that the people were be- commissory by circulating state ing robbed by Cox and that they could sell goods at far lower prices than they could buy them from the company and after each pay day, these peddlers would flock to 'Helbig and even enter the cOmmissOry n an effort to dispose of the.r wares,
 On several occasions Mr. Cox had driven them out of the store and at one time was forced to use a club on the leader, who acted stubborn in the natter
 It is presumed that the two victims yesterday had entered in- to a plot sto do injury to Mir, Cox for they went to the store and raised fuss but in attempt ing to carry out their plan, one of them lost his life in the effort while the other one has a pistol wound in one of his limbs
 MT. Cox was badly beaten up with a club but will recover from the injuries.
