"Then you cannot be tried in the Cher
okee Courts, as they have no jurisdic
tion to try any other case than where
both parties are citizens of the Cherokee
Nation" A look of horror came into
the Indians face, as he sighed, IF
Judge Parker should try me at Ft.
Smith, in the United States Court, he
would surely hang me-" Whereupon
Mr.. Thompson relieved his mind by ex
planning that the United States court
could not try him because it only had
jurisdiction involving crimes of that
character, where a citizen of the Cher
okee Nation had killed a citizen of the
United States, and the Choctaw Nation
was a separate Indian Nation, not a
part of the United States; thus his
was case where no court would take
jurisdiction to try him for murder. And
leaving the home of his attorney that
night, he went back to his wife and
children, appearing next day before the
mayor of Tahlequah, he paid fine, and
plead guilty to disturbing the peace by
discharging fire arms within the city
limits. But no court has ever tried him
for the offense of killing the Choctaw,
and no court can ever do so. Another in
teresting case involving the conflict of

court on the charge of having muir

case was pending, a warrant was OBJ
tanned for the arrest of Proctor, order
ing him to appear before the United
States district court for the western
district of Arkansas to answer the
charge of assault with intent to kill
Chesterton, a white man, husband of
Polly Chesterton, the Cherokee woman.
Chesterton was white man,
he had, by adoption, upon his marriage
to the Cherokee woman, become ct-
zen of the Cherokee Nation, and under
the treaty of 1866 both cases really
came within the jurisdiction of the Cher
okee courts; however, two United
States deputy marshals with a posse
accompanied by a number
Of Cherokees, who were the enraged and
deadly enemies of the prisoner Proctor,
made an assault on the Cherokee court
for the purpose of either killing the
prisoner, or of taking him from the
,ourt by force. The marshals party,
having fired ON the prisoner and the
.ourt, the guard in custody of the pris-
,ner returned fire, and a terrible fight
nsued The prisoner snatched a gun
nd succeeded in killing three of his
ssailants. This terrible tragedy oc-
urred in the old Going Snake court

which site, A. W. Sanders, prosperous

jury, deputy sheriff, several spectators,
and the prisoner himself were wounded.
This fight occurred in 1872 and imme-
diately thereafter practically all the
Cherokee participants We're arrested and
thrown in the United States Jail at Fl
Smith, where they languished for many
months before they were extricated from
an Imprisonment for crime of which
history now proves them absolutely in
nocent. Other instances occurred in
their farms and homes into the brush
to avoid what they believed unwarranted
arrest; and still others equally innocent,
under the old Federal regime were com
PEELED to sacrifice their property, en-
ploy attorneys, and stand trial, which
often resulted in the impoverishment of
their suffering families. The early his
tory of the Indian Territory contains
many instances of out-lawry, but in
most cases these crimes were perpe-
trated by refugees from other states

Cherokee Indian himself has always been
peace loving and law abiding citizen.
Under the act of Congress of June
28th, 1898, commonly known as the
Curtis Bill, the judicial officers of the
Cherokee Nation were forever stopped
from performing any further judicial
acts. A remarkable case occurred under
this change which is without parallel
in the United States. A citizen of the
Nation had killed another citizen in cold
blooded murder. He was indicted by
the grand jury, arrested, tried before
jury of his peers who returned a YER
dict of guilty. He was sentenced by
the court to be hanged and a commit |
ment was issued combining him in the |
national penitentiary at Tahlequah I'M
til the day of execution. Enroute from
the district court, where he was tried, |
overland to Tahlequah, a distance of
twenty miles, he escaped from his guards
and fled the country This occurred just
prior to the Curtis Bill, which stripped
the judicial officers of their authority.
Sometime thereafter this party wrote
to his attorneys to the effect that he
believed he would rather return to his
own people and be hanged among them
than to continue longer a fugitive in
foreign lands. In reply he was told to
come back to his home; that the time
'or his execution had already passed;
hat the sheriff whose duty it was to
lrrest him had been deprived of his
'ffice; that the judge who tried him
ould no longer resentcnce him, and that
he high sheriff whose duty it was to
xecute him had become only a citizen

Wants a brotherhood Between

CHICAGO, Aug. 3O.-Those persons
who are really interested in securing
an efficient military establishment in
America will best serve their country
by establishing a brotherhood between
the regular and the volunteer forces, it
was suggested by Col. Thomas w.

Virginia, in an address before the
American Bias Association here today.
Col. Shelton's subject was 1.-The Pion-
