Rather than tho final lease bill
should be vetoed because il did
not date back to the expiration Of
The former one, October 1, Mr..
Williamson gave his check for
SO, $50 which would make up the
full amount. Desiring that this
sum should go into the treasury
in formal manner, and thus com
pei its being duly accounted,
Chief Mayes asked the passage Of
special act, and the following
bill was introduced by ID. w.
Yann:
AN ACT entitled an act to author
ize the principal chief to place
certain funds into the national
treasury.
Whereas, the principal chief has
reported to tho national council
that he has received the sum Of
ak thousand two hundred and
City dollars on the grazing privi-
lege west Of the Arkansas river,
for the months of October. Novem-
her and December 1888, 10 supply
the deficiency on the collection
made by the treasurer, on his col
lection of forty-three thousand
seven hundred and fifty dollars,
the afore mentioned six thousand
two hundred and fifty dollars will
make the amount received for the
three months, fifty thousand dol
lars and equal to the rate Of two
hundred thousand dollars per an
mum ms per act approved Decem-
Der 4th, 1888, authorizing n con-
tract TO be made with the Cherokee
Strip Live Stock association.
Therefore, BE it enacted by
the national council, that the prin-
cipal chief be and is hereby au-
thorized to turn the said funds Of
six thousand two hundred and fif-
ty dollars into the national treas
ury TO the credit Of the lease funds
for the months of Ociobc-, No
vember and December, 1888.
As TO pass such a bill would, in
u measure, have had the effect to
annul or repudiate the course of
Treasurer Ross in leasing the strip
for three months, that all-wise
body, the national council. refused
to pass this or any like act. Thus,
TO crafty party and personal spite,
$3.50 are refused admission,
through proper channel, into the
public treasury. What say the
people of such actions on the part
of their Lawmakers a.?

THg LEAsE IN VERSE.

Once upon council session,
some members made q bad Impression
by a continual depression
From the question then In view
To Tahlcquah, both primed and cooked.
They walked right in before they knocked,
Aud every one was greatly shocked
At that sweet-scentcd crew.
They tried " hat virtue was IN threats,
They made few, small, silent bets
And then began 20 spread their nets
And" "soft-soap" wcaked- -kneed member
Their leaders howlcd and yelled and trayoi,
According as each ono was paid.
Aud swore they'd have chief Mayes5 "haid, 4"
Irit took till next November.
The Immortal Fourteen stood their ground F,
stood by The oath which they were bound;
With the chiefand people were they aver found
While the people watched and waited.
They engineered their measures through
10 give the grass to their favored crew,
But the CmEFrAtN had Say so" too,
So the big fraud was abated.
The dght went on-Mhyes would not yield;
The brave Fourteen" staid In the field
The peoples rights, their sword aud Shield
Their courtry's good, their banner
At last the cowmen came 10 terms.
Aud looked like they possessed the germs
ora drst class, chronic case Of worms
And sadly needed rest
SO to 500, 900 they raised their bid
And prided themselves on what they lid,
with sueh dispatch IN getting rid
ofqultc troublesome pest.
Mayes says; "Now You must understand,
Before you can get this grazing land
And my little signature command,
The lease shall commence from october" F."
"You'll have to pay me the difference tween
Ms. lease
And the two hundred thousand dollars Increase
Or, by thuuder oil this business shall cease,
Till some ofyou fellows get sober"
So the six thousand dollars and over were paid
Aud this ghost OF contention at last was laid,
AMER so many scanlGlous games were played
And the people and chief were victorious.
But the council refused 10 take this nlney,
Aud swore the whole darn business was funny,
Bui the people still cried that Msyes was a
honey"
And his Immortal Fourteen" just
glOrioas.

WHATpoRs Tnrs MEAN Q

Following is Kansas City dis
patch TO the Globe democrat, dat
ed Dee, 10, which sounds rather
funny:
The Midland hotel was alive to-
day with Cherokee Indians, who
are not at all pleased with the
lease which was recently given by
Chief Mayes to the Cherokee Strip
Live Stock association. 1t gives
the association the use OF all the
Cherokee lands in the territory for
five years, at an annual rental Of
100000. Although the bill pass
ed the council. good-sized miEori-
ty OF the Indians opposed it. The
minority think that more money
can be obtained, and large num-
ber of Cherokees favor stocking
the strip themselves, while others
want TO take in a few outside capi-
talists as partners and raise stock.
Those who arrived arc S. D. Love,
of Tahlequah Senator John G.
Schrimsher. OF Claremore Hon.
Claude S. Shelton, Of Prairie City:
i. d. Flint, Of Prairie City G.. w.
Payne, of Oseuma, and DR.. VIM.
Howell, Oseuma.
They are an intelligent lot Of
men and are opposed TO letting the
lease to the association. One Of
them said:
There is going to be the big
gest kind of fight over this lease,
and the fight will be among the
Cherokees. This lease business is
not settled yet"
Another Indian said. "Whon
Chief j. b. Mayes signed the bill
leasing the Cherokee land to the
Live Stock association, a member
OF the association-I think his
name was Ross, but am not certain
Offered his personal check for
the first payment, the sum being
little more than $4,000. We
would not accept it. We are here
now for the purpose Of meeting
capitalists of this and other cities.
The object of the meeting is to
form a pool to stock the range and
occupy it under a lease"
Several members Of the associa-
tion are in the city, and will en-
deayor TO show the Cherokees that
it is to their advantage to let them
have the lease. Other men with
plenty Of money will either offer
more for the lease or make a
proposition to 60 in with the
Cherokees and stock the land.
The Cherol,ees will remain in the
city several days, and will endeay-
or to settle the matter as far as is
in their power. They went TO tie
stock yards this morning and ex-
amined the cattle With view Ia
purchasing.
