Story of "Lost Cherokees" is Recalled. The removal of a number of Cherokee Indians from Delaware county to the community enterprise j that the Keetowah Society of that tribe is founding in Cherokee county V.00 -.^T-irnrl tn 11 thp ctnrv Of the ? VU bW 1 VW?*4 v?? V/ v va "Lost Cherokees," a story that is included in all the later day Indian histories but in varying accounts, relates a Grove, Oklahoma dispatch. Old time Cherokees of this section have lately brought forth what they declare is the "only true account" of the "Lost Cherokees" ever given to the public. The authorities say they obtained their information from their grand parents and insist that the version is absolutely correct. It happened back in 1838, their account runs, when the Cherokees living in what is now called the "old south" sold a portion of their lands.! This created an extreme bitterness among a faction that was opposed to disposing of the property. Members of this faction forecast the sale as the beginning of the white man s encroachment upon the Indians and argued that if the sale was consummated it would only be a question of time when the Indians would be dispossessed of all of their holdings to the benefit of the pale faces. The Indians who are now recalling the "Lost Cherokees," assert their grandparents described to them the bitterness with which the dispute raged between those who favored and those who opposed. Finally, the faction opposed to the sale delivered an ultimatum to their opponents to the effect that if the sale was consummated those opposing would migrate west. The sale went through and the dissatisfied Cherokees started out for a new home. m Bitterness in the fight was lost and the faction that favored the sale accompanied the immigrants as far west as the Mississippi river with entreaties that they reconsider and stay. But no amount of persuasion would influence them to change their minds. When the river was reached, the advocates of the saje turned hack; to their homes and the other faction crossed the streams and turned their faces to the west. That was the last seen of them.

The concert last Sunday evening by the Carlisle school band on the school campus was greatly enjoyed by a large number of folks. This most tuneful organization, under the direction of the bandmaster, Major John C. Lanham, has made great progress during tihe present school term, and always attracts a large crowd when a concert is given. On account of Major Lanham's illness no concert was given the preceding Sunday, and many folks were disappointed. The band is preparing to launch out on its annual tour in a short while. An excellent minstrel has been organized to present a programme along with the musical concerts the band will give at a number of places in the state during the spring months. Miss Lillian H. Tutcher is Eng| land's first woman insurance broker. I Hunt For Bacon Find Liquor Still - I I Good luck for the sheriff and bad j luck for t.he parties involved accompanied a search for stolen bacon one day recently. McKinnon Biggs, a well known farmer residing near town, reported to Sheriff Ray the fact that Friday night someone had entered uninvited into his smoke house ana extracted tnereirom several sides of good cured bacon. Suspicion pointed towards either of two darkies living nearby, and consequently the sheriff, armed with a search warrant for the homes of both suspects, went in search of tihe meat in company with Mr. Biggs. The first house searched was that of Sheppard Shelton, and resulted in the finding of some of the bacon. Not locating all of it, they proceeded to the house of Nathan Crawford, and made further search. They found no liquor, but succeeded in locating a liquor still which had only recently been in operation. The still was a small affair, and was hot wihen the sheriff found it, " ^ woe Irvnotorl in the* hr&USe. Both auu tt UO tvu aaa _ _ negroes were brought to Bamberg and lodged in jail, Crawford on the charge of making liquor and Shelton for housebreaking and larceny. Sheriff Ray had (had no intimation that Crawford was making whiskey, and the find was just a piece of good luck. WHERE STOLEN CARS GO.

"Thank you, ma'am. The same to you." This ended a conversation that was most peculiar. It had been a conversation lasting about twenty minutes between a woman who runs a hotel and a young man in the role of a bandit. mi _ 11 T T-\ TT J me woman was .wrs. j. v. neruu, proprietor of the Iowa Hotel. The robber was?well, he was a young man, desperately in need of money, he had said, for his wife and two small children, and he had displayed an honorable discharge from the United States army for his services in the world war. Shortly after 8:30 o'clock Mrs. Herod heard a ring at her door bell. The door is at the top of a stairway leading from the street. It was locked at the time. Answering the summpns Mrs. Herod was confronted by a man who later robbed her. He wanted a room, he said by the week. Mrs. Herod told him to see her husband at another hotel on Hast Twelfth street. There, she told him, he could find a suitable room. The man left. About twenty minutes later Mrs. Herod was again summoned to the doorway. The young man had returned. ! & He had been told by her husband, he said, to return to the Iowa Hotel. I Mrs. Herod asked him to register. As she turned to hand him the pen she looked into the muzzle of a revolver. "Go ino your room," commanded the guest. "Don't make a squawk or I'll kill you." According to her report to the police, Mrs. Herod was more surprised than frightened. "You don't look like a hold-up man. Let's talk this matter over," she told him. But the bandit was obdurate. He followed her as she entered her room nearby. "Now, give me your money," he saidAhen the door had been closed. Mrs. Herod drew' $17 and some small change from a bureau. She handed it to him. He returned the change and then counted the bills. "That won't do for me," he declared. "I must have $50 tonight. Is | this all you've got?" I "That's all," she replied. When she had convinced the robber she had no more money she started to question him. In the meantime the money lay on a chair. From a pocket he drew an army discharge, but he quickly withdrew it as she reached for it. "I will not tell you my name," he said. "I have a little wife and two email children who must be fed. I have got to have $50. If I can't get I it here I'll have to go out and hold! up some one else." I "Well, if you need the money so badly take it," said Mrs. Herod. "But leave here before some else comes in." "If any one comes in here now I'll kill him," he answered. . He picked up his hat and pocketing the bills, started out the door. Turning he said to Mrs. Herod: "Perhaps you'll see me again some day, but when you do I'll be dressed differently and I'll pay back your $17." "All right," she replied. "Good night and a merry unnsimas, yuuus man." "Thank you, ma>m," he replied over his shoulder, as he hurried down the stairway. "The same to you."? Kansas City Dispatch.
