Joe Murdock was the first witness
on the stand in the KickapOo cases
this morning and his testimony was
to the effect that Mah-ka-se-ah, who
was alleged to have cashed check
at Eagle Pass on January l. 1907
was in Shawnee on Christmas day in
1906 and came to see him there and
that he was not in Eagle Pass in Janu-
ary, 1907. Murdocks testimony would
have had more weight ii he had not
admitted on crcss examination that
he had given one deposition in regard
to Indian matters that was false.
Mack Johnson was then called. He
said the indians had told him they
would not sell heir lands and had
not made any deeds. He admitted
on cross examination that he had
twice testified that the Indians did
make the deeds, but said he was
drunk one time and had been request

Family Of Five Generations.

Fargo, n. D., June 1S.-Perhaps the
Oldest man who ever came to North
Dakota to grow up with the coun-
try is Peter Bekel who recently
arrived from Germany and will set
tie on a farm in this state.
Peter is one hundred and seven
years of age and is accompanied
by his son, George, eighty-five years
old; Georges son, Frederick. sixty
three years old; Frederick's son,
August, forty-one years old. and Aug
ust's son. William, nineteen years
old.
Oh Peter, who has been farm
er In Germany, said that his family
had been engaged In agriculture for
many generations, but that as all his
sons had done well in America and
the rest Of his family wanted to
come he consented because he
could not bear being left alone.

INDIAN WOMAN IS
OKLAHOMA Halter

Muskogee, Okla, June 1S.-A bit
ter opponeut of statehood always,
Mrs. Mary L. Herrod of Okmulgee,
took a solemn pledge when Oklaho-
ma became a state in 1907 that she
would never write the hated word
Oklahoma She shas kept that
pledge to this day. She says that
she will never write the word
Mrs Herrod is a sister of Moty
Tiger, the full-blood chief of the
Creeks They wanted the old In
dian Territory and the Indian status
to remain as they were, and they
were particularly bitter against the
Indian Territory coming into state
hood with Oklahoma, and when the
state was named Oklahoma that ap-
peared, to be the last straw.
Mrs. Herrod is an educated wo-
man. Her determination never to
write the name of her state causes
her considerable annoyance. For in
stance she finds it difficult to ad-
dress letters to friends within Okla
homa. When she writes her ad-
dress she omts the name of the
state, or else writes Indian Terri
tory. She is the owner of consider
able property at Muskogee and Ok

clared herself thoroughly in accord
with Doctor Kerley's view and went
even further in her praise of Amer

Motherhood today is intelligent
and reasoning as never before" she
said. In the last twenty years Am
erican women have awakened to the
responsibilities of parenthood as new

measure to the tremendous influ

where questions of hygiene, santa

ly are being discussed.
Club women and professional wo-
men make the best mothers" Doctor
McNutt added. "No woman who has
not definite interest in life can be
happy. The most contented house
wife needs something to take her
mind off dust and meals and laundry
work. Clubs give her intellectual
diversion. She learns to discuss the
questions of the day with intelli-
gent interest and is much better
companion and partner for her hus-
band and better because hap
