that deterioration of the crop has been

M'MURRAY GOT MUCH MONEY
Indians Allowed Him Fat Fees and
an Expense Account.

Sulphur. Okla.-it was brought out
in the testimony Of J. +. McMurray be-
fore the congressional committee in
v~estigating Indian land affairs Friday
that he held as many as half a dozen
contracts with the Indians for legal
services, all covering the same period
of time.
Mr.. McMurray testified, under QueS-
tioning, that for general services he
had two contracts with the Chicka-
saw at $4,000 a year each; two with
the ChOctaWs at $1,000 a year each;
another contract for special services
at a fee OF $15,500, only $4,000 Of which
was paid; a yearly expense allowance
Of $1,000 under one contract and 4
other general expenses amounting to
100000. All Of this money was in ad-
ditiOn to the $4,000 allowed his law
firm as a contingent fee in what are
knOwns as the citizenship cases, and
in addition also to the contracts by
which he now seeks TO obtain 70 per
cent, or $4,000 GOO as a contingent fee
on the sale OF $4,000, 800 worth of
asphalt and coal lands.

PERFORMS A PERIL0US FEAT
American Aviator Carries PASSENGER
Across the English Channel.

Deal, En%gland.-It has been re-
served for an American citizen to per,
form one of the most daring feats in
the history of aviation. John B. MOis-
sant Of Chicago flew across the Eng
lish channel from Calais to Tilman-
stone Wednesday with a passenger,
and by this achievement far surpassed
feats Of Blierot, De Lesseps and the
unfortunate English aviator, Rolls,
who met his death at B]OurnemOuth.
The woman flight from France to
England was the more astonishing
from the fact that it was only a month
ago that MOissant learned to fly, and
he made so few flights and was so
little known among air men that even
his nationality was not disclosed. He
was reput cdtO be a Spaniari.
70 make the feat still more sur
priSjng, MOisSant was totally ignorant
Of the geology of his course. He haa
never been in England ana was
obliged to rely entirely on the CON-
pass while the crossing Of the chan
mel was accomplished III the teeth OF
a strong westerly wind.

ton that | can see at the present time
is the accumulation Of large tracts Of

day is different from that Of years
ago. He is becoming lax in his duties.
He is educating his children and send
ing them to the city. thus taking la
Dor from the farm. The city bred per
son does not want to work on the
farm ana farm labor is scarce. The
price ne can get for cereal products
pays him better than feeding live
