THE GOVERNMENT TAKES A
HAND.

Another factor, by some not en-
tirely unlocked for, has entered
into the lease muddle, in the
shape Of a formal communication
on the subject from Secretary vi
las, Of the interior department, to
Chief Mayes, dated Septem Der Is,
1888. While probably imparting no
new information it certainly Plac-
es the seal Of disapproyal upon all
attempts at leasing the Cherokee
strip, and for that reason may be
considered as Of importance. By
the Kansas City Times aud other
"boomer" papers, it is interpret
ed as an Oklahoma victory and
hailed with delight. Here is the
communication:
SIR: In view of the informa-
tion Of this department that some
steps have been taken by you or
by the council or other authori-
ties Of the Cherokee nation with
purpose either to renew the
lease which was heretofore made
with certain parties calling them
selves the Cherokee Strip Live
Stock association, or with an asso-
ciation or corporation Of that name
and which IL Is understood is about
TO expire or has expired or to exc
cute some other lease or agreement

some part thereof, and that q ses.

ceived yesterday morning dis
patch from the cattle men asking
him if r. B. Ross, who is now out
