Muskogee, Okla, Aug. 4.-When the
special committee appointed by the
house of representatives to investigate
the McMurray contracts with the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Indians, in
volying sale of land estimated to be
worth $3O,0OO,000, convened today,
senator Gore announced that ne was
ready TO name the individual who, he
said. offered him and member of the
house each $4,000 to withdraw op-
position To a scheme whereby 49,
100000 would be paid for attorneys
fees" This latter sum. he declared,
represented 10 per cent of the amount
which the syndicate was prepared To
pay for coal and asphalt lands now
belonging to the Indians and it was
to be paid In conformity with con-
tracts made individually with 10000
Indians, provided the contracts would
receive the approval of congress. 1t
was with the purpose of having the
contracts approved and thus divert
ing the 10 per cent into the hands
Of certain attorneys. Gore declared,
that the brbe was offered him to
have withdrawn any legislation which
would invalidate the contracts.
Attorney Fees Unnecessary.
AS matter of fact" Gore said
today, previous to the opening of the
Investigation. "the government already
had guaranteed to sell the lands for
the Indians without the c~oense OF
any attorneys fees and IL would be
absurd for congress to sane IN the
McMurray contracts"
The land involved includes 100000
acres i'm the Choctow and Chickasaw
nations. holdings and, according to
the geological survey. the mineral de-
posits therein are worth $160,00O,OOO.
J. t. McMurray, an attorney of Me-
Alestcr, Okla, announced through his
counsel. that he would contend that
the contracts were valid without the
sanction of congress and that he was
unaware of any bribery having been
offered i'm their connection. IL Is the
purpose of the committee. according
Co Congressman Burke of South Da-
kota. the chairman, to visit various
parts of Oklahoma to secure evidence

McMurray, Royn Hammond of Law

Senators Thurston OF Nebraska and
Long of Kansas. Representatives
Creagcr and Mcclure of Oklahoma.
Col Cecil A. Lyon of Texas and var
ious officials of the Indian office and
of the tribes affected by the investi-
cation.
The charges of Senator Gore alleg-
ing fraud and attempted bribery i'm
the Oklahoma Indian land deals were
made on the floor Of the senate in the
closing days of the last session and
created widespread sensation. The
Oklahoma senator declared that an
attempt at bribery had been made by
j. +. McMurray, an attorney at Me-
Alestcr, and well known i'm Wash
ington. For many years McMurray
has been connected with the Choctaw
and Chickasaw Indian litigation and
legislation. Five years ago his law
firm came into prominence when their
fee of $75O,OOO for services rendered
the Indian tribes was allowed and
paid
Politics Behind Exposure7
The original contract between Nc
Murray and the Indians was made i'm
1905 and Col. Cecil Lyon, the Repub-
llcan leader in Texas, was said To have
been associated with McMurray and
others in the deal only recently it
developed, il is said. through docu-
ments issued from the Interior De-
partment that former Senator Long
of Kansas was also associated with
McMurray as attorney. AS conse-
quence of these revelations IL is ex-
pected that both Col. Lyon and for
mer Senator Long will be summoned
to testify before the investigating COM
mittee as to their knowledge of the
Indian land deals.
In some quarters the charge is made
that politics is behind Senator Cores
expose. II is hinted that the action
of Senator Gore IN bringing the charg-
es at this time is really part Of the
oklahoma Democrats programme to
defeat the sale of the surface Of the
segregated coal and asphalt lands.
Sincere, Say Friends.
The friends of Senator Gore, on the
other hand. assert that he is per-
fcctly sincere i'm his action and that
he will be able to make good on his
charges relative to the McMurray con-
tracts. They cite the facts that the
Indian Rights Association and the
Catholic Indians Mission organiza-
tion have both openly fought the con-
tracts. and they cite further the fact
that Senator Gore last April secured
passage of his resolution calling upon
President Taft and Secretary Ballin-
ger for all correspondence between
them and j. +. McMurray; also the cor
respondence following the Presidents
disapproval of the contracts two years
ago. The action of Chief McCurtain of
the Choctaws last July I'm opposing
the McMurray contracts because they
would not net the lawyer several mil
lion dollars. Is also given as proof In
Senator Cores favor, and the state
ment of United States Senator owen
of Oklahoma that "if the coal lands
brought only S5,000.O00, McMurray
could sit at home and draw his COM
mission" 1t is shown also that the
entire Oklahoma delegation i'm Con-
gress has been consistent i'm its fight
against the McMurraY contracts.

Murder Revealed BY a Dream.

Perhaps the most amazing crime
mystery ever solved by a dream was
that revealed by a murder trial a
couple of generations ago. The dead
body, of Mr.. Norway, an inoffensive
Cornish gentleman. had been found by
the roadside between Wadebridge and
Bodmin, brutally murdered. No trace
of the murderer could be found, and
the mystery Of the crime seemed be-
yond all solution. when Mr.. Norway's
brother, a naval officer, arrived in Eng
land and told the following singular
story:
On the very night of his brothers
murder, when he was on his ship in
the West Indies, he saw him in a
dream walking along the Bodmin road,
when from a dark recess in the hedge
two ruffians sprang out, slew and
robbed him and then made their way
to a house in Wadebridge, which he
saw wildly in his dream. To this
house he conducted the police officers,
and there he found the very two men
whom in his vision he had seen COM
nit the murder. They confessed and
suffered the extreme penalty of the
law.-Pearson's Weekly.

which this sum was taken care OF

ney general for Treasurer George T.

the proposition to give the job to a

French is not a politician and he
has waged no political campaign.
He has been busy attending to the
duties of his office. He is justified
in the belief that bis services to the
county entitle him to reelection.

Where He Made His Money!.

Years ago a gentleman settled in the
south of England and became very
popular in the neighborhood. The
county families could never-d discover
how he had made his money, but
were satisfied by his solemn assurance
that it was not in trade. Nothing
could exceed the ordinary gravity of
his demeanor, which indeed caused
him to be placed on the commission
of peace, but now and then, without
any apparent provocation, he would
burst into such a laugh as no one ever
heard before except in one place.
Where they could have heard it puz-
zled the county families for five and
twenty years, but at last he was be-
trayed. unconsciously by his own
grandchild, who, after visit to a trav-
cling circus, innocently exclaimed,
"Why. grandpa laughs just like the
clownw-James Payn.

The Parson Bird.

Among the feathered inhabitants of
New Zealand there is Il bird called the
parson bird. or tut. 1t is about the
size and shape of a blackbird. but has
a pair Of delicate white tufts at it's
throat and is a glossy dark green 9th
erwise, which looks black in the sun
shine. 1t can be taught to crow, to
speak. to whistle tunes, and, besides
these tricks it has a repertory which
is not often equaled by any other
feathered songster. At vespers it has
a note like the toll of a bell or the
clear, high note of an organ. 1t can
mimic every bird in the bush to per.
lection. 1t will break off in the mid
die Of an exquisite melody and indulge
in a strange melody of sounds which
are impossible to describe, but if you
can imagine the combination OF a
cough, laugh. a sneeze, with the
smashing of a pane of glass;" it will
be some approach to the idea.

Horse Dentists,

dentists who devote their entire atten-
ton to horses. and they are kept sur
prisingly busy the year round. The
equine dentist is Of course provided
with special Instruments for the ex-
traction and filling of the teeth Of ami
mails needing attention. 1t is rather
interesting to observe an operation in
horse dentistry. One of the instru-
ments. called a spectrum, presents the
appearance Of an ivory handle and
four small bars of nickel working on
a ratchet and crossing one another in
such manner as to form a hollow
square that can be made large or small
by the turning of a screw. Setting
this device to the proper size, the
horse dentist will slip it gently into
the suffering animals mouth. which.
during the operation, is kept partly
open by a groom, and when the instru-
mert is fitted upon. say, one of the
back teeth the beasts mouth is kept
open as wide as possible.-Harper's

FRENCH IS NEEDED.

Beltrami county can not afford to
lose its present treasurer, George H.

republican ticket to succeed himself.
Because he is familiar with the
finances of the county and how to
handle the money to the best inter-
ests of the taxpayers, any attempt
to make change for a inexperienced
man might prove a costly move.

DANGEROUS GIRLS,

Because Bemidji is free from high
school sororities or other secret So
cieties for girls of the gum and
eiggle age is no reason why parents
here are not directly interested in
the evils growing out of these secret
organizations. The high school

or college girl of tomorrow and

volved in the orders which are
characteristic of higher education.
The issue of current magazine
cites striking illustration. Recently
girl in a High School was initiated
into a secret society. In the first
place she was compelled to walk five
miles in order to deliver invitations
for the Initiation" She was then
taken into schoolmate's house and,
after being blindfolded, two girls
held her by the ankles and compell-
ed her to walk head formost on her
hands down a flight of stairs.
Then she was compelled to eat
macaroni boiled half an hour in soap
and was told she was eating angle
worms. Then there was given her a
cocktail made of vinegar, salt, pepper
and the white of an egg to make it

UNFAIR TACTICS.

Are the closing days of what has
been a campaign delightfully."- free
from underhanded politics to be
made historical by the Vaccinations
of a certain clique to elect their
candidatefor sheriff, even at'the cost
of reasonable tactics, dark deals
and mysterious methods?
If there is any scheme on foot to
attack the character of the independ-
ent candidate, Thomas Bailey, or to
assail his unblemished reputation
as a public officer, it deserves and
probably will receive, the contempt
characteristic of American citizens
when unfair and unjust attacks are
made in the closing hours of a
political campaign.
There has been prepared CAM
paign document to be distributed
on the eve of election, in behalf of
the present sheriff. This document is
being distributed with much secrecy
and great care is being exercised in
placing it in the proper hands. ~
A copy of the document accident
ly found its way into the hands of
a Bemidji citizen not on the chosen
list. The sheriff's friends discovered
their mistake and regained posses
sion of their precious, but not praise
worry, attack on Mr.. Bailey.
The Pioneer is unable to discuss
the document as it has not received
one of them and the best argument
that can be made in behalf of Mr..
Bailey and in condemnation of the
Hazen scheme is that what Mr..
Bailey has to say stands the test of
the white light of publicity while
the sheriff's last desperate effort to
pull himself into office is of such
a nature that if must be kept under.
cover.''
A man who is afraid to come out
in the open and fight is a dangerous
man to invest with the power of
public Office and the candidate who
floods the country with malicious at
tacks upon his opponent so late in
the campaign that no defense can be
made, pulls the mask from his own
face, revealing himself in all of his
dishonesty and treachery.
