horse and when James Davis made for
him, Crawford pushed him aside ana
ran. As the negro bounded through
the door. j. W. Davis landed a heavy
blow on his head with the butt OF

desire to kill the intruder. After THIS
Crawford gave in and the t~O broth
ers tied him with rope and then

INVESTIGATION MAY RESULT IN
GOOD.

The investigation into Senator
Cores charge that bride was offer-
ed him In connection with certain In
dian land contracts probably will re-
suit in some good. even though the
men who are alleged to have attempt
ed TO put legislation through congress
by bribery never get the punishment
they deserve Associated Press dis
patches say that the congressman and
senator's and other government Off
cials gathered at McAlester. Okla. in
connection with the Investigation be-
lieye that "a new era OF wholesome
legislation has dawned for the In
dams" as a result of the investigation.
The public has been told of the dilly-
callying methods of the federal gov
eminent In dealing with the Indian
claims, and it has been shown that
these methods not only inconven-
fenced and worried the Indians. but
actually put a premium upon graft and
corruption.
II has seemed strange that the In
dams should have 10 employ so many
lawyers and do so much petitionins
and appealing for that which belongs
to them. Chief MoCurtain. of Abe
ChCctaw tribe. venerable Indian
who made fine witness Saturday,
said that his tribe had paid out about
100000 In attorneys fees during the
past ten years. The chief explained,
TOO, why his people allowed them
selves to be led into signing contracts
with Attorney McMurray agreeing TO
pay him enormous fees for getting
what was due them from the govern
ment When asked IL a good many OF
the Choctaws had signed the McMur-
ray contracts. The old chief said:
Yes they did that because they are
losing all faith in the government
They have lost all faith in the govern
ment officials and in their tribal Off
Gals too. IL is because they have
been given so many promises and the
promises have not been kept. The
government promised it would sci
the land and distribute the profits IL
1906. 1t has not done SO yet The In
dams are becoming dishesrtened oveI
the governments promises and that's
why they signed the contracts. They
