Freedmen. Of Indian-Negro Descent Of

fore District of Columbia
Supreme Court.
<Copyright.)

Washington.-The right Of 1900
Cherokee freedmen to participate in the
distribution of the lands and funds be-
longing to the Cherokee nation was sus-
tanned by Judge Anderson Of the Dis
trict of Columbia supreme court. The
court sustained the governments de-
murrer to a suit of the Keetowah Society
to restrain the secretary of the interior
from permitting the freedmen participa-
tion in the property. The case was dis
missed.
The freedmen claim that their shares
in the property run anywhere from
81, 600 to $4,000, 600. The Keeto-
wah Society is composed of full blood
Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma.
The freedmen are the descendants of
slaves of the Cherokees and are of'mixed
Indian and negro blood. The court, in
dismissing the suit, said the freedmen
were clearly entitled to equal rights with
the native Cherokees. The fredemen
have the right of appeal.

are the bodies of Adam j. Boehler and

battles ever engaged in by the police Of
the city.
Boehler, after cutting his wife's throat
became drunk, barricaded himself in O

1913 North Main street, and from 2
o'clock until 1880 succeeded in keeping
a posse of police at bay, when he was
overcome by fumes from half q barrel
Of f~ormaldehyde and then shot to death.
For nine hours Boehler and half of the
members of the police department ex-
changed shots. Bullets rained into the
room occupied by the man from every
point of vantage. High-powdsred rifles,
pistols and shotguns were brought into
play. The flooring on which Boehler
stood to train his guns upon the officers
was into = veritable sieve by the terrific
fire. The room was literally wrecked.
Attracted by the sounds Of the shoot
ing, a crowd Of many thousand people
gathered in the vicinity.
From the floors of the rooms above
and below, the walls of the rooms east
and west of Boehler's quarters, and q
window of the room opening onto q blind
alley just south of the building, a steady
fire of bulelts was poured into the build
