THE TRUE TALE OF WILLIAM
TELL
Willinm Tell ran a hay ranch
near Bergolen about five hundred
and Sighty years ago Toll had
lived in the mountains all his life
and shot chamois and chipmunks
with a cross gun till ho was a bad
man to'stir up At that time Switz-
erland was run principally by a lot
f carpetbaggers from Auxtria and
Tell got down on them about the
year 18t)7 It seemsthat Tell want-
ed the Government contract to fur-
nish hay at (45 a ton for the year
13i)fl and Gcsslcr who was con-
trolling tho patronage of Switzer-
land let the contract to an Austrian
who had a big lot of condemned
hay further up tho gulch One day
Gcsslcr put his plug hat on a tele-
graph polo and issued Ordor 230
regular scries to tho offect that
every enoozer passing down the
toll-road should bow to it Gessler
happened to bo in behind tho brush
whon Tell went by and he noticed
that Bill said “Shoot the hat" and
didn’t salute it so h$ told his men
to gather Mr Tell in and put
him in the refrigerator Gossler
told him that if he would shoot a
crab apple from tho head of his
only son at two hundred yards
with a cross-gun he would give
him his liberty Toll consented
and knocked tho apple higher than
Gilduroy’s kito - Old Gessler how-
ever noticed another 1 arrow stick-
ing in William's girdle and he
asked what kind of a flowery break
thut was Tell told him that if he
had killed tho kid instead of bust-
lng the apple ho Intended to drill
a nolo througn the stomach of Mr
Gesslor Tins made Gessler mad
again and ho took Tell on a picnic
up tho river in ironB Tell lump-
ed off a hen ho got a good ch&nco
and cut across a bond in tho river
and when tho picnio party camo
down 'lie Bhot G oMslordeudcr than a
a mackerel This opened tho bull
for freedom and wenkoned the
Austrinn Government so much that
in tlio following Novombcr they
elected Toll to fill tho long term
and Hnlf-Iireed for the short teem
Alter thut Toll was rcoognizod by
tlio rulling power and lie could get
almost any contract that ho wanted
to H e got tho service on the stage lin
up into the Alps increased to dully
and hud the contracts in the name
of his son Albert The appropri-
ation u us increnscd to 1160000 a
year and he had a good thing Toll
lived many years after this and
was loved by tbo Swiss people bo

CHEROKEE OUTLET
'Ex-Governor S J Crawford
writes from Washington to George
Cutcr at Huiinewell' that tbe gra-
zing lands In the Territory known
as mo Cherokee Strip is not the
property of the Cherokees: that it
was merely set apart by the Gov-
ernmenjtor their use ah an outlet
and that the ’ Cherokees have no
right to collect ' a tax for grazing
cattle on it The Governor is un-
doubtedly mistaken in this The
Strip is part of the Cherokee do-
main has been so regarded by the
General Government and was con-
ditionally ' purchased from the
Cherokees When the Govern-
ment pays fbr it the Cherokees
will have no right to colloct taxes
for its uh6 Until that time they
havo full control over It and au-
thortty to mnko every man pay
who occupies it as grazing ground
— Caldwell Commercial
and
Correct Bro Commercial
those persons who have cattle gra-
zing on our Strip might as well pay
their taxes and save trouble Un-
cle Sam stands by the Cherokees
in this matter and Those stock
men who have stock on the Cher-
okee Strip and who are kicking
against paying taxes to the Chero-
kee authorities are simply cutting
their own throat — in other word
"np pay 90 tay” By those stock
men on our Strip listening to such
men as Crawford who make such
statements to them without author-
ity of law or even common sense
is the causo of so much wrangling
botween our authorities and the
stock men Our authorities are
backed by ths plain law And have
the consent and backing of the U
S Government and propose to
collect the taxes as long as we hold
