INDIAN HEAD CHANGES, RUMoR
Shake-up Of Chiefs Of Four Tribes
Politicians Gossip.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Dec. l.
With the change of national admin
istration comes gossip in eastern
Oklahoma that President Wilson will
be asked to change all of the heads
of the Indian tribes. AS far as
known the only new man suggested
is Thomas W. Hunter, district court
clerk of Choctaw county and mem
ber- elect of the legislature, in place
of V. NJ. Locke Jr.
Lockes friends were not disposed
to regard the gossip seriously when
asked aboutit today, for the reason
they say, politics has never con
troled in the appointment of princi-
pal chiefs. They assert that the
chiefs of the other four tribes are
democrats who neld under republi-
can administrations. The gossip
however, contemplates a change in
all the tribes.
Principal chiefs are nominal heads
of the tribes with practically no
authority not fist given by the
Washington government. The tribal
legislatures meet orce in while
and adopt resolutions, which have
only the effect Of recommendations

Oklahoma City. Okla, Dec. l.
Fifty.six cases of whisky. four kegs
of gin and four barrels of beer
were spilled into gutter by State
Enforcement Officer Caudill yester-
day after the goods had been de-
clared contraband by court. There
were five kegs of gin in the lot,
but while the force was pulling
corks and knocking bungs some one
hooked keg out of the wagon.
AS they say in police circles, There
is no clew to the thief"
"You have to watch it like it was
money" said the enforcement Off

conveyance. 81 believe, though,
that sum Of money would be safer
unguarded than keg of liquor"
The state enforcement officer
found the liquor ready for shipment
to the east side in a carload of hay.
He also seized one trunk filled with
whiskey quarts. A small crowd as
sembled to see the liquids run into

do your duty though the heavens fall
said the commandment of cadets to the battal-
ion of STRIPPING soldiers The commandment
had a curious way of mixing his aphorisms,
but he meant well.
Obedience and devotion to duty are the key
notes of the scale Of life's harmony az West
Point.
Billy Lang was a first classman. Billy was
private. He probably would have been
cadet officer if he hadn't been caught the
previous winter taking a trip to Cold Spring
over the frozen surface of the Hudson.
1t was in Billy's "yearling camp" that he
met Frances Curtis.
Billy Lang was the oldest man in his class
and consequently was called dad" He was
just under the age limit when he entered and
would be within a month of 26 when he grad
uated. Now Billy was in love with Frances
Curtis.
He was sitting with her now under the trees
, near the camp guard tents. Billy was on
guard though off post for the time being
"You see Miss Curtis" he said, ''the second
class being on furlough and the 'plebes' not
being military enough yet to do duty, we first
classmen have to walk post to help the year
ings' out. When the plebes are turned in to
the battalion we will do guard duty only as
officers"
1T must be hard work, this walking up and
down all night long, Mr.. Lang" said Frances,

II think you are right, Mr. Lang There's
certain nobility about it that appeals to one"
Billy Lang was hugely pleased to find that on
the subject of duty Frances Curtis ideas COIN
cided with his own. He changed the subject,
however, abruptly sI see that Mr. Jackson is
here" he said. looking at Frances in a half
curious way.

coming into her cheeks, "he came UP on the

front range of the Rockies. 1t is
planned to make the gift token from
the people of Colorado, and contribu-
lions are now coming in from all over
the state. The fund was started by

During his recent visit to Denver,
President Taft was appraised OF the
summer home plan, and expressed the
opinion that no locality could offer
finer natural attractions for such a
structure.
The proposed house will be unique
in many ways and exceedingly at
tractive. The plans call for noble
and massive structure of gray gran

provide ample room for the prest-

soon the skunk is quietly reposing on
