have been watching the doings of
Congress lately, means a narrow
strip, ITO miles long and "a wide,
between Colorado and Texas, and
forming the tail end Of the Indian
Territory, so called. As a matter of
fact, it was never part Of that Terri
tory, nor any other, and we are now
asking Congress to set us off as an
independent Territory, so that we
may make laws and govern ourselves.
As it is, we have no laws, that is,
none that may be called such, al
though we manage to do business
and keep things straight in an aver
age way. There are about three
thousand Of us in Ne Mans Land.
