TORTURED BY INDIANS-
Indian Territory Cheroktes Subject Col.
Blackwell, an American, to Terrible
Treatment.
GuTHBit, O. T.. Dec. 9. Col. A. J.
Blackwell, a fall-Hedged American,
well known in the West, was arrested
some time ago at David, a small town
in the Indian territory, charged with
selling land, and, according to the
Cherokee laws, sentence to death for
his treason
On Monday, Blackwell, after being
cleatr shaven and stripped of his
clothes, was taken before Chief Oha,
who wa then holding a conncil, and
asked to confess. Blackwell answer
ed that he had no confession to make,
that he was the victim of a malicious
conspiracy, and asked to be released.
Then, he was carried bodily to the
' Needless," a place of torture ad
joining the prison, where he was
subjected to treatment horrible in the
extreme.
Ten bucks danced around Liin, and
each thru-it a steel, used for the pur
pose, into his naked flesh. Their
cries of ' Ki-yi," and tortures were
kept up until Blackwell, bleeding an
faint from the dozens of punctures in
his flesh, sank to the ground. In thi
condition he was taken back to hi
former cell. He still remains in irons,
hand and foot, notwithstanding ferrent
appeals of his relatives and friends
His trial has not been set, and what
further indignities await him, remai
to be seen.
Late on Thursday night four men
called at the home of King Berry
near Cusbing, in the Sac and Fo
country, and riddled him with bullets
when he answered their knock at th
door. Tbey then set fire to his home
and escaped. Berry had been a dep
uty United States marshal, and sever
al tough characters in that neighbor
hood, that he had under surveillance
are believed to be his assassins.

The state Commander writes us
from Lincoln, Neb., as follows: "After
trying- other medicines for what
seemed to be a very obstinate cough
in our two children we tried Dr. King'
New Discovery and at the end of two
days the cough entirely left them. We
will not be without it hereafter, as
our experience proves that it cures
where all other remedies fail." Signed

Marvelous Kesults
From a letter written by Rev.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract:
have no hesitation in recommending
Dr. King s New Discovery, as the re
suits were always marvelous in the
case of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives Junction
she was brought down with pneumonia
succeeding la grippe. Terrible
paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not- survive
them. A friend recommended Dr
King's New Discovery; it was quick in
its work and highly satisfactory in
results." Trial bottles free at John Y.
