Dr Huntington when he waa made
aware that hla letter had been sent to

and looked upon bis detention as a
matter of no great Importance He
gained the respect of the citizens by
his kindness and care in sickness and
was looked upon as a valuable acqui-
sition to the city Dr Huntington bad
great hopes' of ultimately being mado
free of being allowed to return to
his wife Somehow or other Pearl’s
welfare did not seem to trouble him
much There -was sbmetblng about

been somewhat restricted In power
no fear was entertained from that

MISUSE OF TRIBAL FUNDS
"Every word that he has uttered la a lie 1
Last night after working hard In the
mines all day be came home expect-
ing to find bis loving wife waiting for
him Was she there? No! Tracing
her to the very palace of the king
Lang dared to tell the tyrant to his
face that he waa detaining her against
her will Whalen whose body you
see lying In the dust before you has
paid the penalty of less than this with
his life Convict or no convict I
would have killed tbe man king or
subject who would have dared to lay
his bands upon my wife (Applause)
‘‘I maintain that -when a man en-
ters this place and takes the oath of
allegiance to our law that he has
rights that we are bound to respect
Because we have found It necessary
to be here Is no sign that ‘ we are
beasts— human brutes! (Applause)
We aro banded together for mutual
benefit not to embrace slavery!
'(Right! Right!) Dr Huntington the
doctor who was abducted away from
his home and wife and brought here
against his will took tbe oath of
allegiance this morning He Is now
a citizen of Paradise as much as you
or I He has never done us any barm
why should he be condemned to serve
the rest of his time In our bdspital
without the privileges usually grant-
ed to men of talent and honor? IT
he Is compelled to remain aad work
for us should we not at least attempt
to make It pleasant for him In return?
At least allow him tbe privilege of
breathing unfettered the fresh air
once In a while and sleeping near to
one he loves We should not stoop to
revenge We are not devoid of all
feeling! Schiller though he he king
haa no right to torture his helpless
victim and we aa men should not at-
low him to do so There can no good
come from allowing Injustice to tram-
ple upon our lawa and I ask you the
people of Paradise to grant me tbe
privilege of allowing Dr Huntington
the privilege of our city the same ad
any other free man
"Louis Lang haa paid the penalty
for his crime— If crime It may be
called— In striking the man who mould
ao far forget himself as to war on
women Now that again he has
proven himself a man of nerve and
honor I would ask you to grant him
complete freedom It appears that tho
king hesitates to pronounce the victor
free!
"'While I am In the mord of asking
aud while tbe people's minds are so
vividly wrought up with tit scenes
here enacted to-night I wish to ask
While the guard was doing so I was
visited by Lang Golden and Rogers
Lang saw the struggle between the
guard and his wife and struck him
I was about to explain to Lang the
circumstance of hla wife being In my
house when the ruffian sprang upon
me and atruck me!
“Even then under the circum-
stances I mould not have exacted the
penalty from Lang but I mas dared
to do it by Golden and Rogers mho
no doubt saw a chance to dare me
to do what my conscience forbid me
It is hut a put-up scheme to ruin me
I am willing to obey the people my
actions have always been aboveboard
and If they m-ant me to abdicate I
for one am ready to do so!" That
was all he said He felt that he had
made out a Very plausible tale — If for
no other reason than of the power he
held
Now I mish to say a word!” said
Rogers "Our king has accused me of
Inciting him to do a wrong A poor
excuse for a man In the exalted post-
tlon of our king! ' But every word that
he has uttered Is a lie! And his ac-
tions this base subterfuge shows him
to be but $ coward! A scoundrel born
and bred!” Schiller’s face waa livid
twice or thrice he essayed to arise
but only to fall back in his chair
trembling with excitement (or fear)
"I saw Lang strike the king I would
have done tbe same under the same
circumstances What made Lang a
convict here in the first place? I will
tell you Schiller wanted to put Gold
en out of the way and Louis Lang
nipped the plot in the bud that's the
reason — and our great king now wants
revenge on Ijtng!” Rogers hit the
bull's-eye
'l agree with Rogers there!” ex
claimed a voice and Sam Pearson
stood up “I have been a tool of
Schiller’s long enough 1 was present
when he made the offer to Revolver
Rob to kill Golden I like fair play
and I will not stand by and see him
condemn an honest man to death
who has not harmed anyone just for
the pleasure ot revenge I thluk the
king has gone far enough'”
The suddenness of t! e uprising of
the people stunned Schiller He was
helpless In the net he had woven for
others
"I do not wish to bring my case
before the people" said Golden who
really did hot want to be tendered the
crown at this time for fear of the
after-climax and who also aaw a
chance for a masterstroke of dlplo-
Reason for Hla Enthuaiasm
An art editor waa praising the In-
telligence of the French painter Bou-
guereau "I can hardly believe that Eouguc-
reau la dead” said he “Paris with-
out him will not be Parts What a
keen and brilliant mind the man bad
"I remember a discussion on spirit-
ualism that once took place in Bou-
guereau's studio
‘If there Is nothing good In spirit-
ualism' said a widower ‘why Is it so
popular?' -
'Why Is It so popular? I'll tell
you’ said Bouguercau
‘A friend of mine lost his wife two
years ago Last week he heard of a
beautiful medium in tbe Square De
L 'Opera aud attended a couple of her
seances I saw him yesterday He
had already become an enthusiastic
spiritualist
'Why It is ridiculous’ said I
'Ridiculous! Indeed no' he re-
turned 'My friend do you know that
at each seance the spirit of my dear
dead wife returned and kissed me?’
‘Nonsense’ I exclaimed ‘Nonsense
Do you mean to tell me that your dead
wife honored those miserable seances
enough to come and kiss you In her
own person?’
‘Well not exactly In her own per-
son he replied ‘Her spirit took pos-
session of the medium’s person and
kissed and embraced me through
her' " — Chicago Chronicle
Disposition of Government Indict-

ernment wit make of the Indictment
!n the Chickasaw naiiou against Chief
Johnston Treasurer Ward and the
members of the law firm of Mansfield
McMurray & Cornish alleging misuse
of tribal funds Is expected within m
few days
’ It is understood on very good au-
thority that Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Russell In a report which he
made to tbe president about two
weeks ago advised that the Indict
menta be dismissed on the ground
of Insufficient evidence This recom
mendatlon however did not meet the
approval of Secretary Hitchcock ot
the interior department and he an
nounced that be would cause an in
vestigatlon U be made on his own
account
Secretary Hitchcock Ass'stant Sec-
retary Ryan Assistant Attorney Gen-
eral Russell and Frank Campbell as
ststant attorney general for the Inter-
ior department held an exteuded con
ferCRce It la believed that the result
of the Investigation which Secretary
Hitchcock caused to be made was the
subject of the conference More than
the usual degree of reticence has been
observed In this case and nothing can
be learned concerning It further than
that no action has been taken
It is understood that if the govern-
ment should decide to press these
indictments It will endeavor to have
the trial held In December

OKMULGEE: The Creek council
In session here will soon begin the
consideration of a bill to send a dele-
gation of from three to five men to
Washington this winter to look after
the Interests of the Creeks In the
settlement of tbelr tribal affairs at
first the members of the council had
agreed to let the matter drift along
as It would and If advice was needed
a! Washington the federal government
would be at the expense of procuring
It from whatever source they deemed
sufficient however they were advised
by Senator Clapp and by one of tbe
h£nd government officials in tbe In-
dian Territory to send a commission
to look after their interests In Wash-
ington and they will probably rollow
this advice by passing a bill authoriz-
ing tbe appointment of such commis-
sioners The council of Creek Indians which
ta now In session for the last time at
Okmulgee refused to Indorse the
movement for a separate state of In-
dian Territory and passed resolutions
expressing confidence and faith In the
United States to carry out Its treaty
pledges with the Indians
A bill passed the council providing
for a committee of three beaded by
Chief Pleasant Porter to go to Wash-
ington and endeavor to secure legisla-
tion for the disposition of the surplus
tands and school property belonging

Frank Frantz agent for the Osage
Indians in northwestern Oklahoma a
bill will be pawed within three months
after congress convenes providing for
the allotment of land among the
Osages He is certain that there will
be no opposition whatever to tbe bill's
passage During the last session of
congress a bill passed the house but
was defeated in the senate for the rea-
son that the renewing of the blanket
oil lease In the Osage country
proved a stumbling block to the allot-
