nnd the most rigid economy will
le necessary at every joint where econ

Ciik'Am, Dec. 20. Alout eighteen
months ago an old gentleman who gave
his name as Thomas Franklin and said
lie was from Pennsylvania, came to Iter
wyn.and lought one of the finest resi
dences in that aristocratic suburb of Chi
cago. He furnished the house in good
syle. The old man would tell nothing
of himself or his past history. "I came
here to get away from the world; iKin't
ask me anything about myself or my
history," be wonki iy. He seemed to
have plenty of money. He did all his
own luse work, rarely went out doors
except to buy food and altogether lived
the life f a thorough recluse. For some
days p;ist then have been no signs of
life alxait the.liouse.
To-day, the old - man- was f.mnd -dead
1n bed: There "were some indications
that he died a violent death and it was
thought he might have la-en murdered
for his money. The croner, this even
ing, however, decided that death was
due to natural causes. The only docu
ment of importance found in the house
was a will la-queathing all his property,
estimated at $."0,000 to a sister living in
Winton, Iickawanna county, Penna.

Cherokee strip Mold.
TAiiijcyrAH, I. T., IXht. 20. After
more than two years of negotiations and
four visits of the Cherokee Commission
to Tahlequah an agreement jesterday
was finally consumated whereby the
Cherokees agreed to part with their title
to the strip, and only the action of the
United States is needed to make it pub
lie land. The price finally agreed upon
is ?S,59o,7oo,12. The two commissions
decided upon the terms of the agreement,
and immediately submitted it to the
National Council for ratification. It
must then be ratified by Congress.
By the terms of the agreement the
United States agrees to remove all un
authorized persons from the strip, and
those Cherokees now residents upon the
strip may take 80 acres of land each,
which shall cover their improvements.
