To HholR Il Nay Concern: That the orders and
proclamation of the President OF the United

Territory, for the eiectment of persons who are
now there without authority, and who have
already resisted with arms, in order to remove
them it has been found necessary to invoke the
OF the military. The General COM
the Department of the Missouri has
been intrusted with the enforcement of the
lSNS, dllu has tlSpdlCHcl ii itISt ioTtt ulluCI
the command of the undersigned with instTuc-
tons to see that the laws are observed in Indian
Territory of Oklahoma. 1t is within the knOwl-
edge Of the officer III command that some hun
dreds of men have banded together to resist the
execution OF the law in ayowed inSurrection
against the Government 1t is devoutly
to be hoped that any unlawful action
on your part leading 10 the sacrifice OF
human life may be avoided. II must be clearly
understood that the killing of any soldier obey
ing orders in the execution of his duty by men
armed TO resist the law, is simply murder, and
that they will sooner or later be tried for the
same as principals or accessories. None will re-
gret more deeply such Il result than the com
officer and officers serving under him.
The responsibility must rest entirely with your
selves. It is with great regret that the com
officer learns that men who served
their country faithfully during some of the best
years of their life to sustain laws of the Govern
ment are now openly leagued with insurgents
against the flag they served so well. 1t i'll be-
comes them. as Old soldiers of the Union,
and upon reflection they must acknowledge
their error To you, as TO all citizens,
legislation is open to settle any grievances,
There is no necessity 10 resort 10 arms. Should
a collision occur, 10 which it is the intention OF
your leaders 10 compel you, the military Will
not be responsible for the loss of life or stock
from rowing bands of Indians who will seize the
opportunity to intict injury and all trouble can
easily be avoided by observing the proclamation
of the President of the United States and peace
ably leaving the Territory, as directed.
