Western Union Telegraph Company
for back taxes on telegraph poles along
the line of the New Orleans & North

new NICKELS ARE
RECEIVED HERE

The First-National Bank of Com
smerce received Tuesday a small sup
ply of the new nickels issued by the
government last Saturday.
The new coin is crude in general ap-
pearance and was doubtless meant to
be thoroughly artistic in general de-
sign. The diverse side bears the fig
|ure of buffalo of the plains, the
words united States of America" and
Five Cents" The reverse shows the
head of an Indian Chief, the word
Liberty and 1913"
It is not stated from headquarters
whether the designs of this coin are
20 typify the relations of the Govern
ment to the Indian or not, but the sug-
question was made that buffaloing of
the Indian at times in the past has
certainly characterized the relations
between uncle Sam" and Poor Lo."
The word Liberty which appears on
the new coin just in front of the In
dams brow, seems pretty nearly anti
modal to the privileges possessed by
the red man of the west.
