When the Gliddenites hit the old
Louisville and Nashville pike, they
thought they had struck about the
worst road in the world. When they
finished the run through the Tennes-
see Mills and into Sheffield, Ala, they
had passed over something worse, but
they firmly believed that there must
be improvement from that point. On
the run from Sheffield to Memphis,
went from bad to worse through the
forest lands and swamps of Missis-
sippi and Southern Tennessee and thus
it was almost every day during the
tour. And when it seemed that the
roads could not become worse,
they simply ceased to exist The tour
lists pounded their way over going
which was never intended for anything
but a mule or an OK team; certainly
not for an automobile.
But probably the very worst piece
of road in the entire trip was the run
over the roadbed of the Rock Island
railroad crossing the Red River on the
approach to Terral, Okla. Most every
one knows what the average railroad
track looks like. 1t was over just
such track that the Glidden tour cars
pounded for considerably over a mile
and a quarter. The temperature was

accordingly. This keeps him from sit

her rounds the case is landed over to
her. First she finds out why the pupil
has been sent down at all. If he
claims not to know he is advised to

arrives at the reason in a very short

he writes it out on a slip OF paper

ROBBERY CAUSED
WOMANS MURDER
ASSASSIN BURIED BODY IN SHAL
LOW SAND GRAVE BEFORE
LIFE WAS EXTINCT.

Lancaster. Calf, Aug. l5.--ln a
shallow grave sunk in the sand of her
own front yard, pet dog today uncov-
cred the body of Mrs Freida Schultz
Castine. a wealthy ranch owner. Ev-
cry indication points to murder with
robbery as ;he motive and kilograms
have been sent to ports and border
cities between Galveston and San
Francisco to arrest the woman :
brother-in-law, Otto Schultz, who left
here yesterday after telling Station
Agent Stoughton of the Southern Pa
cific, that he was bound for Germany.
Mrs. Castine was last seen Friday
when she came here from her ranch,
four miles east, to receive remittance
of $4,000 from relatives in san
Francisco
The investigations OF officers OF
the sheriff's office in Los Angeles, who
arrived here This afternoon, tend to
show that the woman was murdered
as she drove into her yard and that
she was thrown into the shallow hole
while yet alive.
Investigation by an autopsy sur
geon disclosed the presence of sand in
the lungs and bronchial tubes, drawn
there by the victims dying gasps.
Mrs. Castines son found his moth
er's body. half uncovered and mutilat-
ed by the dog, when he returned from
trip this morning. a wide wound,
evidently inflicted by an axe, in the
back of her head, showed the work OF
the slayer. and the young man, who
! knew his mother had gone to town to
receive large sum, could not find any
trace of the money.
! Otto Schultz, the brother-in-law
who came here recently to take charge
(of the ranch. also was missing, and on
being apprised of the search Agent
Stoughton recalled the fact thai
Schultz had purchased a ticket fo
Los Angeles and had said he was or
his way to Germany, where both The
Schultz and Castine families are sale
to be well connected.
The $4,000 which Mrs Castine is
said to have received Friday is declar
ed to have come to her from an es
tate in the fatherland.
From facts deduced from the investl
cations of the officers and the sur
geons, it is believed that the murderer
lay in wait for Mrs Castine ant
struck her down as she alishted from
her carriage The soil in the vicinity
of the ranch is sandy, making it al
easy matter to dig a hole but the slay
er was in such haste that he not oBN
did not wait for the death of his vic
tim before burying her but covered
the body with a scant six inches o.
sand and loan.
Schultz left a trunk with the statiol
agent with instructions to forward i
to Galveston.

SOME PERPLExlNG PROBLEMS
PRESENTED AT WASHINGTON.
AUTHORITY OVER PROPERTY
Question Of Citizenship Will Also
Come Before the Highest Tribunal
Majority Of Court Hold That
Laws Are Constitutional.

Washington, July 15.-With rights
of some 10000 Indians in question,
the supreme court of the United
States will begin consideration prob
ably during the first week of the
approaching term of some of the
most perplexing problems arising
out of the relation of the United
States to its wards, Among these
are questions of citizenship and
authority over the land OF individ'
ual Indians.
In 1902 congress passed an act
for the allotment TO the individual
Indians of the Cherokee tribal land
in Oklahoma. One restriction was
laid on the land, lands allotted to
citizens shall not in any manner
whatever or at any time be encum
bered, taken or sold to secure or
satisfy any debt or obligation or be
alienated by the allottee or his heirs
before the expiration of five years
from the date of the ratification Of
this act"
In 1904 congress authorized the
secretary of the interior to grant a
right of way for oil and gas pipe
lines through the lands thus allot-
ted to the Indians.
In 1906 the five-year restriction
imposed in 1902 was extended to
twenty-five years. The constitutional.
ity of the acts of 1904 and of 1906
was raised, and Congress authorized
two Indians, William Brown and
Levi b. Gritts, to bring suit to test
the laws.
The court of claims held the laws
to be constitutional. An appeal was
taken to the supreme court. On ac
count of the Importance of the case
the court set it for argument on the
opening day of the coming October
term, or as soon thereafter as pos
sible.
Judge Hory, for the majority OF
the court of claims, pointed out that
the Indians had been made citizens
, of the United States prior to the al
lotment.
When the land was granted" he
said the character of title allot
ted to the full bloods was the same
as if allotted to other citizens. The
title of the one became as unquali
/ fled as the title of the other and
any attempt TO differentiate between
| the principle so held can be sus
tanned only on the theory that the
Indian can never acquire such a
right to land as the government is
bound to respect
He held that the Indian could ac
quire rights the government must
respect and pronounced the right-of
way act and the twenty-fiveyear
/ alienation act unconstitutional.
The majority of the court, headed
by Chief Justice Peel, held the laws
unconstitutional.
The reversal of the dec;s on OF the
court of claims would allow the Ir
dians TO sell their lands, worth NIL
lions of dollars, at this time, as the
five years long ago have expired
While the Cherokee lands are imme
/ diately concerned, it is generally
understood the decision will affect
the lands of the other four tribes
which heli land in the old Indian
Territory.
