INDIANS MOVE.
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.

Alrieisv Pnnpprt RnOVed.
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.

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.

A GENTLEMANLY BANDIT.
Takes $17 From Woman and Says
"Merry Christmas."
"A merry Christmas, young man."
"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."?
