Fraadmaii Roll.
The Dawes commission have!
about completed their work of mak-
ing the freedmen roll, and the past
week has seen the a aiding up of
Uris roll of the Creek nation. While
it is a fact that there still remain a|
few who have not their names en-
rolled, the work has been moat
successfully carried on, and, from
what we can learn, will be one of
the most correct and complete rolls
ever made by any commission.'
There are some whose names ap-1
peared on the old list who have|
been stricken from the present roll I
from the fact that they were unable |
to estahlish their right to enroll-
ment. A share of these, no doubt
will Wake an effort to be placed |
back on the rolls and have signi-
fied their intentions of going into |
courts. It ia *imost an impossi
billty to make aa rract roll, but!
from the manner and precautions
taken by the commission, there i*
little doubt but that this one will
be used in the making of the al-
lotment. The commission have
some unfinished work they will]
complete at Wewoka, in the Semi-j
nole nation, after which they will
on the first of the month, go into]
the Chickasaw and Choctaw na-
tions to make an enrollment
through the months of September]
and October, when they will again
return to Muskogee and probably
carry on the work of making up
the rolls during the winter months.
The commission, no doubt, from |
now until allottment has been]
made, will be a busy body, as much
depends on their labor in the fu-1
ture—Phoenix.

Waco, Tex., Aug. 28—A suit
waa filed in Judge 8am ft. Scott's |
court which will bring out the de-
tails of the fatnoiis tragedy occur-

April, in whleb W. C. Brann, the

The suit is styled Mrs. Carrie |
Bell Brann vs. the Aetna Life In

the widow of William Cooper!
Brann, the deceased apostle. She
alleges that her husband owned n|
policy in the life and accidental
company against which th* suit is
brought which entitled him to |25
a week in caae he was disabled, or
W000 in case of his death, and al-
though duly notified the company)
declines to pay, wherefore she sues!
for judgment for |6000 with 12 per|
cent added for interest and attor-
ney's feee. The death of bothl
duelists placed the caae beyond
the reach of the court, therefore
testimony giving foil details has
never been taken. The inquest
was limited to one or two witnesses.
The trial of Mrs. Brsnn's suit is
likely to bring out details never
yet given to the public, and there-
fore the case possessses great in-
terest.
