aEr7nRAL NEWS AND NOTES.

One night last week, at Mus
kogee, the Indian police, under
Capt. LAHORE, swooped down upon
a man they supposed to be Wesley
Barnett. In disarming him the Of
ficers were surprised by confront
ing a badge like their own. 1t was
Indian Policeman Silas Childers,
ofTulsa. Had he not anticipated
their action and known them, it is
not impossible someone would
have been hurt.

Now, as ! have said before, there
was no law that authorized the
treasurer's action in making this

toward the Cherokee people in
forcing them TO accept his action,
in depriving them OF their mohey,
when there was q bona fde bid Of

last. Now to show you that this
bid was genuine and made in good
faith, the company that has made
the bid of s200,O00 comes forward
and supplies the deficiency for
these three months, October, Nov
ember and December, by paying
10 me the Sc, $50 which will make
the bid complete. as it is under
stood that the s43, $50 collected by
Mr.. Ross will be received, and to

WORKING A SUCKER.

Our friends who went to Kansas
City last week evidently caught a
very huge sucker" in the person
of the Globe Dem ocrat's cores
pondent. First he had them can
ceiling the lease of the strip but by
next day they had been molife d
and their opposition was with
drawn. The correspondent confess
es he does not know the cause. If he
knew Bill Howell as well as that
gentleman is known at home, the
matter would not look half so
mysterious to him. But there
may have been other reasons Why
the opposition was weaker the sec
ond day. Hero is the dispatch Of
the 11th ~, =
The opposition on,1he part of
the Cherokee Indians to the lease
which gives the use Of their lands
TO the live stock association has
been Withdrawn. These Indians
are still at the Midland hotel. 1t
it is not known what caused the
Indians to withdraw thier oppo-
sition TO the lease, as il was sup
posed from what they had said
they would vigorously contest the
lease. Yesterday morning they
had an interview with t be cattle
men at the stock yards, and it is
supposed that satisfactory arrange
ments were arrived at. II is prob
able, from what one Indian said,
that the objectors were given per
mission to Craze in the strip freesof
cost. The Cherokee said: "We
propose TO buy 500 or 900 head OF
thin cattle and take them back
with us. We can pasture them on
the strip, and most of US have lot
Of feed that we must get rid Of !"

EIaRTEEN MILLION OF DOL.
LARS.


This is the sum offered for. our
lands on the outlet. II almost
takes a fellows breath, but there
are over six million acres of as
good grazing and farming land as
are in the west, and, if owned by
citizens of the United States,
would be worth $500, 900, 10000 in
five years.
The following offer was made
through Chief Mayes to the coun-
Gil:
To the Honorable Chief, Coun-
Gil and Senate Of the Cherokee
Nation:
We are willing to contract for
the purchase of the land known as
the Cherokee outlet, west Of
principal meridian 900, consisting
of six million acres or more, for
the sum of eighteen million of dol
lars, to be paid in lawful money Of
the United States, or in such other
manner as may be mutually agreed
upon, the same 70 be paid within
twelve months after the ra,ifica-
ton of our contract by the proper
authorities of the United States.
As a guarantee of our good faith
we will on the making Of the con-
tract above referred to, give you
our personal bond in the sum Of
one hundred thousand dollars to
pay you such damages as you may
sustain in case we fail to purchase
said lands and pay for the same
within said period of twelve
months above mentioned. We al
also propose to lease said lands for
the term of five years for grazing
purposes at the annual rental Of
two hundred thousand dollars,
payable in equal semi-annual in
stallments in advance, the rent to
begin October /, 1888, to cease
whenever we shall purchase said
lands as above provided. This
proposition to date and take ef-
feet from the passage Of the neceS-
sary legislation by you and its ac-
ceptance and approval by us.
