SUITS KNOCKED OUT
Demurrers in Eastern Oklahoma Title
Cases Started by United States
Are Sustained.

Muskogec, Okla.-Judge Ralph
Campbell has sustained the demurrers
in the suits brought by the United
States to set aside various deeds and
leases made by citizen allottees in
the five civilized tribes in eastern Ok
lahoma, and thus settled a legal con
%troversy that has been the cause of
considerable concern in that part Of
the state.
The court reviewed the relation Of
the United States 10 the five tribes
since they became a nation, and found
that no vrstige Of title to the lands
allotted them now remains in the
United States. The demurrers involved
the question of the citizenship of these
Indians and the court declared them
to be citizens Of the United States,
with all the rights, privileges and i'm
munities of citizenship. 1t Is held
that the United States can not main
tain these suits on the principle that
it sustains to the individual Indian
a trust relation, such guardianship be-
ing incompatible with citizenship, ma.
tional and state.
Finally the bills were held bad be-
cause numerous defendants are joined
in each bill who were connected with
many distinct transactions regarding
as many distinct tracts of land.

All in Fiqht Against tuberculosis.

Prevention of tuberculosis versus

some Of our largest insurance COM.
panies are nov trying to establish.
The Metropolitan Life recently ap-
piled for permission to erect a sana.
forum for its policy holders and EN-.
ployes afflicted with tuberculosis, but
the application was refused on grounds
of Illegally by New York State Super.
intendent OF Insurance Hotchkiss. The
company Is. however, conducting an
active educational campaign by dis.
tributing 100000 pamphlets among
its policy holders. The Provident
Savings Life Assurance society has
also established a health bureau.
where its policy holders may receive
free medical advice. Several fraternal
orders, notably the Modern Woodmen,
Knights of Pythias, Royal League,
Royal Arcanum and Workmen's Cir.
Gle, have already established or are
contemplating the erection Of sana-

COUGHS UP A LIVE FROG
lowed PoIIywog While Drinking
at a Spring.

Wichita, Kas.-Arthur c. Valentine,
a carpenter, living in this city, was
attacked by a severe fit of nausea
and emitted from his stomach
a live frog more than an inch in
length. For two years he has been
suffering from stomach trouble and
has been unable to get relief. He
thinks that while drinking water from
a spring on the farm on which he
lived prior to coming to Wichita he
took into his stomach a pollywog,
and it grew into a frog.
Physicians doubt the possibility OF a
pollywog living and growing in the
mans stomach. but Valentine has the
frog to show and member of the fam.
lily attest the truthfulness of his state,
ment that he emitted 1t from his stom.
ach. He is now entirely relieved from
the pains he experienced formerly.

Monroe. La.-Angered, It is be.
lieved, because two Of his friends
had recently been shot by police in
this city. William S. Wade, a negro,
ran amuck on the principal business
street OF Monroe. With a double
barreled gun he shot first at every
white man he saw, and then at every
object before him. The fire was re.
turned, and the negro finally fell dead
with a bullet through his heart, but
not before twenty.nine men, three OF
them negroes. had been wounded.
Three May Die.
Seriously wounded:
Hugh Bigger, policeman, shot in
abdomen and thigh; may die.
T. II. Grant, deputy sheriff; shot in
neck and breast; may die.
Simon Marks, merchant, Tuskegee,

Among the slightly wounded are:
DR.. A. A. F%orsythe, mayor of Mon.

Southern Grocery company, shot in

Fargo Express company, shot in hand.
Body Publicly Burned.
Wades' body was publicly burned
after it had been cut down from a
Pc, on which 1t had been hung for
half an hour or more after he was
killed.
1t was at first reported that Wade
was half crazed from cocaine and
cheap whisky, but an investigation
by the police showed that when he
purchased the shotgun and box of
shells a few minutes before he first
opened fire, there was nothing un-
usual In his manner. He had not been
drinking nor did he show any evi.
dence of having taken cocaine.
Wade came to Monroe recently from
Pine Bluff, Ark. He was accompanied
by several other negroes, and they
began to make trouble for the local
police soon after they arrived. 1t was
alleged that they were members of a
society in Arkansas, which had as its
object revenge for all injuries done to
negroes.
