Fort SMITH, Aug. 27.-An Associated
Press reporter TODAY visit I'd Capt. ID. X.
Payne and bis Oklahama Boomers,
where they are held prisoners at the
camp of Lieut.. Jackson and a detach-
ment OF the Ninth Cavalry, in the Cher
okee Nation, opposite Fort Smith.
Payne said: Il first went to Oklahama
nve years ago, when informed by able
lawyers that these lands were open TO
white settlement, aud located colony.
Since then | have been removed seven
or eight times by the military. I spent
last winter al Washington city, and
learned that the Cherokee outlet was
open TO settlement, and that the title
was not in theCnerokee Nation, but in
the United States. Iorganized a COLONY
of 500 and settled at Rock Falls, four
miles south Of Hunnewell, Kansas Gen.
Hatch, on August Goth ordered as out.
l told him net to bring his soldiers. We
were willing to 90 into court TO have the
question settled. | asked him to lay the
matter before the Secretary of War.
He refused, and ths next morning six
companies of the Ninth Cavalry arrived
accompanied by Indian agents Tufts
and Clark. A Cherokee Indian arrested
j. b. Cooper, editor of the Oklahama
CHIEF, in charge of the colonists, and
others. Most of the men were absent at
the time. The cattle men and cowboys
were against rs, and threatened to
assassinate rs. The cowboys tore down
our flag to use as a saddle blanket, bat
Captain Moore recovered it. A little
girl came to as with flag wrapped
around her and pistol in her hand.
We were taken to General Hatch's
camp. Rock Falls was burnt. We
were allowed to get our clothing and
furniture; bat Mr.. Cooper lost some val
liable papers and his clothing. While
at General Hatch's camp agreed to go
to Fort Smith, or any place designated.
for trial, IL released, and offered to put
up fifty thousand dollars security for
keeping my word; but General Hatch
said his orders were to take me to Fort
Smith and he intended doing so.
Deputy Marshal Williams served writs
on rs, and wanted to take Us to Wichita,
Kansas, for trial, but Gardner, who was
in command, refused to turn US over or
recognize the civil authority. About
sixty soldiers guided us as far as Came
ron River. The officers seemed to fear
that the cowboys would attempt to as
sassinate IA. Half the soldiers re-
turned, and the rest are with US. We
want to get the matter before the
courts and the country, for We believe
that We have q right to locate home
steads on these lands, and intend to
keep on trying until the matter is pro-
perry adjusted.

night that senator 5. q. Pomeroy, their
nominee for President, will withdraw
in favor OF Sc. John. When the conven-
tioN Of the party was IN session 81.
Johns name was prominently men
toned by the leaders in connection

olution was passed by the Convention

mated With the understanding thai II %.
