EJECT FREEDMEN
AFTER 25 YEARS
NEGRO CLAIMANTS OF CHERC'
kEE LANDS LOSE HOMES AF.
TER 25 YEARS POSSESSION.

After having lived Illegally on
Cherokee Indian land near Vinita for
about twenty-five years, more than
twenty-five freedmen families are Le-
ing elected from their homes 10y or
der of the department of the inter or.
Thomas Roach, chief of Indian police,
returned yesterday from Vinita
where he has been moving the ne
groes from the land.
Some of the land IN question Is
valuable In some cases, practically
moder dwellings have been bul L
and various improvements added. No
thing but personal property may be
taken away since the improvements
belong to the land.
The reason for the removal is the
decision of the supreme court of the
United States in the Whitmeyer case
whereby about ! 800 negroes who
claimed to be entitled to allotments
because they were slaves or descend
ants of slaves of Cherokee Indians
filed suit in the federal court asking
that their names be put on the rolls.
Their claims had been denied by tie
department of the interior, following
opposition by the Cherokee Indians.
A number of the freedmen took
possession of some of the unallotted
land Some of them later bought it
from the right owners, in a numbef
of cases the Cherokee new born VIII
had been added to the rolls.
1T was tough work putting some
of the negroes out and moving them
away, and we came near having sew
eral fights Captain Roach said yester-
day. Zone of my men thought for a
while that he was going to have a
duel with an infuriated negro woman.
She ran into the house and he follow
ed, warning her about going after fire
arms and threatening to shoot if she
picked up a gun. But she returned
and cried out in an ex-
cited voice:
"'Oh, cut my veins, and let my
blood run into the Arkansas river and
on to hell and led my body go to
heaven.
The humor of the exclamation at |
such an unusual time was too much |
'or us, and we had to laugh, despite
heir tears. We gave fifteen days

been on the land for at least twenty
years.
on one tract of $50 acres, there is
an old German and wife with eight
children, four of whom belong to the
wife by a former marriage with a
negro freedman. When we reached
this place, we expected trouble and
we finally managed to get them NOV

these people that the entire vicinity

GREAT AVIATION MEET
AT The South Dakota State Fair.
Three Different Machines. Two
Flights Each Daily.

The greatest aviation meet of the
| West will be a feature of the State
Fair this year at Huron. Three ma
chimes are under strict contract from
the National Aeroplane Company
the new Newport Monoplane and two
biplanes, Curtiss and Wright type.
Daring bird-men will operate these
machines each forenoon and after
noon, making a total of six daily
flights. The remarkable work of
Cromwell Dixon at the fair last year
will be far surpassed by the men now
under contract.
Probably the stellar attraction Of
the meet will be the flying of the
Newport o II plane recently
brought to America, and the only
one of it's make which has been ex-
hibited in this country. Each of
the wings of this machine has a
spread of IA feet, which with the
width of the body makes a total
span of "a feet between the tips OF
the wings. The length of the body
from propeller to rudder Is about 80
feet. The propeller is directly in
front of the engine, and sucks the
machine through the air instead of
pushing it. The body is covered with
tightly stretched cloth, tapering off
at the stern to q narrow edge, and
when the propeller obtains a speed
OF 1900 revolutions Per minute, the
machine slips through the air at 70
miles per hour without effort.

1t is the aim of the Board to de-
monstrate as advantageously as pos
sible advanced methods pertaining to

End we ask your cooperation. South
Dakota has great natural
which have only to be displayed to be
appreciated. No where else can these
be exploited to better advantage than
at the annual State Fair.
The Fair will be more than an ex-
hibition and when you come to study
it's educational features, you will be
delighted with the opportunities pro-
vided for relaxation and pleasure.
n management will spare no ex-
pense to furnish the best of enter
tainment, and Will the Board real
ICES that a certain amount of enter
tainment is necessary, and have pro-
vided for it, the main object of the
State Fair is along educational lines.
The management urges upon all
visitors to report any ~mistreatment
or extortion practiced by n employ
ee of the Fair, c%oncessioner or from
n other source; and discourtesy re-
ceived or anything that savors of i'll
treatment reported will be promptly

JUDGE STILL HAS THE $50
Condition Competitors Did Not Scam

Of Prize.

The walking craze of a few years

an opportunity which he could not re-
stst taking advantage of. He had hand
bills widely distributed on which was
stated:
"A Great Crosby gentleman will give
you to the man. woman or child who
nrst succeeds in doing the following
task: To walk from the Pierhead
(~Liverpool) to Crosby village. There
each competitor must buy a meat pie
n walk around the Big Stone and
eat It,"
About q hundred entries were re.
ce1ved, and the walk took place on
Whit Monday. Much excitement pre-
vailed and a great cheer rose as a
local pedestrian al seer leading the
rest of the crowd. His meat pie was
soon eaten al he walked round the
stone. and he went to the Judge for
the $50.
Why" exclaimed the Judge, st
didn't think you could have done it.

What's that go to do with it?"
asked the ped.

Mother kansaroo's Bravery.

During a evere drought in a Ger.
tain section of Australia, the owner of
a country station was sitting one eve.
ming on the porch when he saw a
Kangaroo lingering about, alternately
approaching and retiring from the
house, as If half in doubt and fear
what to do.
At length she approached the wa
ter pals, and, taking a young one
from her porch, held it to the water
to drink.
While her baby was satisfying it's
thirst the mother was q~uivering all
over with apprehension, for she was
u a few feet from the porch where
n OF her foes was watching her.
The baby having finished drinking.
It was replaced in the pouch and the
old kangaroo set off at a rapid pace.
The spectator was SO much Impress

affectionate mother that he made a

shoot . kangaroo. !.
