TIip olwtioii of a Now National
•Council in tliu C'U«rokeo Natim
has just boen held. Tlio council
was chosen on the issuoofagw-
meitt or no agreement with tho
Uuited States. Its action will
bp of great importance to the
'Cherokee Nation in the matter of
winding up its affairs and secur-
ing tile proper division of the
common property.
This will bring tip again tho
■claim of the Cherokee Nation for
1M,f>00,000 on aecount of the al-
leged withdrawal from their in-
vested funds by the United
States of (1,100,000 on June 12,
1WSH. This withdrawal, which is
claimed to have been made with
-out sufficient authority, was real-
ly for the purpose of paying She
expenses of removing the Chfer-
•okees from the East to tho Wast.
'The Cherokees have not only set
sup a claim far the repayment of
this money but they have setiXip
a further claim for interest from
June 12, 1838, to date, at 5 per
cent ]>er annum.
Under the agreement of 1891
■the United States stipulated that
• an accounting should bo in de
but did not "authorize any
(tribunal" by which the he
counting should bo made. A
preliminary investigation was
mad* by the Secretary of the In-
terior, who detailed two clerks
to make a report. These clerks
were not an "authorized tribunal"
under any agreement or statute
of the United States. They made
a report favorable to the Chero-
kee Nation, but when it was sub-
mitted to congress, congress re-
ferred the question of law to the
Attorney Cieneral of The United
States, who found that Slade and
Homier, the clerks, had been en-
tirely in error as to the law. Con-
gress for the first time ill the
same act "authorized a tribunal''
to make the accounting pro-
posed under the agreement of
1891. The tribunal was to con-
sistof the auditor of the Interior
De|iartmcnt., who is an officer
under the Secretary of the Treas-
ury, and the Comptroller of the
Treasury. Their report was to
bo submitted to the Attorney
General,J who was directed to
transmit such ropirt with his
views as to the law. This find-
ing has not been made. The
Cherokeos have attempted to
make the collection without liav
ing this report of the auditor
and comptroller made, claiming
that they are entitled under the
Slade Bender accounting oil the
theory that they had an adjudi-
cated case.
Manifestly this position is er-
roneous, and until the matter
has been passed on by someau-
tJiorized tribunal and probably
by tho courts, this claim will not

I eonstifnte one of the assets which
! the new legislature can take part
I in dividing. It would seem to be
I prefxistcrons that the' United
Stales should not only be charged
with the expenses of the removal
of the Cherokees in 1888, but un-
reasonable that the United States
i should pay interest upon this
| enormous sum for sixty odd
I years. There is no probability
! that the United States will ever
j consent to do anything of the
j kind, if it can possibly lie
avoided.
Cn the Ht.h of August a man
and two women, with two mules
and a wagon were camped near
1 Tandy, some distance west of
I here on their way east, says the
i South .McAlester Review. That
I day the man was known to have
tried to trade the mules for a
team of horses. The next day
the mules appeared at the .Tim
Leader farm where R. A. For-
rest took them up and brought
them to Stuart in search of their
owner whom he had seen trying
to trade them the day bee.
Hut the man and two women,
and their wagon and outfits as
well, had completely disappear
ed. Other persons on the road
had seen nothing of theiu. Some
week* later Mr. Forrest noticed
a suspicious looking character
hanging about his pluce and a
few days later, Thursday night
of last week, the mules were
stolen. He followed the thief
and overtook him and the mules
over in the Creek Nation, near
Wetumpka, 011 Saturday. The
thief fled on a pony, abandoning
the mules. Mr. Forrest finally
toruered him against a barbed
wil'e fence when the thief jumped
off and ran, leaving the pony and
saddle in Mr. Forrest's hands.
Forrest brought the horse and
saddle in to South McAlester
•Sunday and turned ttiem over to
I the marshal tire next morning.
The people of Tandy and vicinity
| are much exercised regarding the
j disappearance of the campers
and lor several days the early
I part of the week wore scouring
the hills a 11 valleys in that
vicinity in search of the missing
strangers. No clue has been
found of them. Deputy George
Miller says nothing has been
reported at the marshal's office
regarding the alleged former
owner of the mules and they are
supposed by that office to belong
to Forrest, I10 having reported
them as Ins property.

TILGHMAN'S FIRST FLIGHT.
Perry, Okla. Sept. it.—Every-
body knows Bill Tilghman, who
lives southeast of here near
Chandler. It would be no trouble
to get 10,000 men in Oklahoma
and Kansas who would bet their
last dollar that Bill Tilghman
would not rnn from anything on
earth. Tilghman lias killed a half
dozen mon while serving as chicf
of police, sheriff or United States
marshal. He has arrested more
bud men than any inau in the
West. He was the first chief of
police of Perry and Dodge City,
Kansas. It happened last week
that Tilghman ran for his first
time and this is the way it hap-
pened :
lie wanted some fish and took
a stick of dynamite, went to the
creek, lit the fuse and threw it
into a deep pool where a big
school of fish was located. The
family dog, a small spaniel, ac
companied him. One of Fido's
accomplishments was to chase
and bring back anything that
has been thrown into the water,
and perceiving a chance to dis
tinguish himself ho rushed into
the water, grabbed the smoking
piece of dynamite and proceeded
as he had been taught to bring it
to his master. Right here is
where Bill Tilghman retreated
for the first time in his life. He
rushed wildly through the tim-
ber, yelling: ' Grt avVay, Fido; go
away! while Fido frisked airily
along after him, carrying the
dynamite with the sputtering
fuse trailing out behind.
By masterly leg work Bill man-
aged to keep at a tolerably safe
distance till the dynamite went
off After a careful search of the
neighborhood a ..mall lock o!
curly niiir v;a, found sticking to
a block jack and he will have SHORT NEWS STORIES. TOOLED HIS FATHEII. HUMOR OF THE HOUR.

On I.endal bridge, across (he Ouse,
lu York, england, the royal arms,
which are sculptured on this bridge,
are supported by an angel, the tigure
of which represents the Princess of
Wales. The way this cauie about was
as follows:
Mr. Crawshay, the contractor for the
bridge, suggested to .Mr. Page, the
architect, that a lady In York should
represent the angel to be sculptured
there. To this Mr. Page's reply was:
J j 'No; the angel supporting the royal
arms should surely be a royal prin
I ! cess."
A rough cut bust of the Princess of
Wales was therefore obtained, with
the hair flowing over the shoulders,

led with and lu due course finished

One of the most curious survivals of
the custom of (laying tolls exists at
Oakham castle, iu Rutlandshire, I'ng-
land. Prom very ancient times when-
ever a peer of the realm rides by the
place he is required by the constable
of the castle to contribute a horseshoe
In lieu of a Hue. These are then hung
upon the walls of a room In the castle,
which Is thought to have been former-
ly used as a < hniwd. The custom still
obtains, though nowadays uobb .:en
who pass through the town generally
Contribute shoes of some precious
metal, richly decorated aud bearing
their coat of arms. Quite lately the
earl of Onslow forwarded to J. L.
Whltehoiise. the coustuble of Oakham
castle, a new horseshoe richly deco-
rated. bearing the Inscription. "Wil-
liam lliller. fourth earl of Onslow."
Another nobleman, who was drlvlug
i tandem through the towu a short
time ago, was called upon for the cus-
