The Occupation of the Cherokee Stri
Makes n Big Muddle.

The Occupation of the Cherokee Strip
Makes Big Muddle.
CHICAGO, April 25, 1sS9.-A special to the
Neeus from Diamond Bar Ranch, Ind. Ty.,
via Kansas City, says:-The occupation of
the Cherokee strip has begun along the
whole line and a much harder nut to
crack than was the Oklahoma boom will
be presented to the Government.
The excitement in Arkansas City over
the prospective seizure of the strip is in
tense. The crowds of fugitives from the
famine, thirst, frost and heat of Guthrie
are swelling as each train on the almost
wholly paralyzed railroad comes in.
The tiercest resentment is breathed
against the government for the outrage
ously unfair manner in which the country
was thrown open. The whole Federal
machinery, from the President down to
the last Deputy Marshal is passionately
denounced.
Six residents of Arkansas City went out
on the ship Fresdan and staked claims.
Some invaded the Chillocco Indian School
reservation, and were ordered off by the
Superintendent They moved their stakes
to neighboring spot of the school
land. 1t is believed that hundreds
of the returning pilgrims are bearing
northward with plans laid for location on
the strip, and that many are now camping
this side of Salt Folk, upon what they
claim for their homes.
The soldiers patrolling this region under
Captain Jack Hayes have not yet re-
turned from the southern border, but are
expected in Camp Price, near Arkansas
City, at any hour. 1t will be their duty,
doubtless, to clear the strip, and
turmoil is bound to ensue. The
people, however, who are back OF
this present excitement, are disposed
to be law abiding, but they will claim
redress for the wrongs they suffered in
Oklahama, and demand claims in the
strip. 1t is not feared that they will suffer
an armed resistance. 1t seems, however,
that something must be done to relieve
the pressure of homeless throngs.

Some of them were witnesses in the case
of William G. Mausell, the Hoboken
forger, and others were tnere as interested
spectators.
The story of the forgeries of Mausell is
well known, and when he retracted his
plea of not guilty and pleaded non vult
this morning, it did not cause much sur
prise. Mausell was as cool as cucumber
when District Attorney Winfield asked
him if he desired to change his plea, and
replied in q voice without tremor in it
that he did.
Yesterday the Grand Jury found an
additional Indictment against him. he
gave note for 1916 in payment of bill

Plunkett to it. Before the note became
due he took it up and gave forged GER
tifcate of improvement in exchange.
Mausell was arraigned under fourteen
indictments for forgery, and his friends
say he acted wisely in making the plea he
did. 1t will have the effect of diminishing
the sentence, and also gives Assistant
United States District Attorney DAILY un-
til two weeks from today to make rep
RESERVATIONS to the Judge that will have
a tendency to mitigate the sentence that
will be imposed then.
Some of the offences MauseH was ac-
cused of were reported to the Hoboken
Common Council by a special committee.
The total amount represented by the four
teen certificates was $9. .091. 80

Is This Freedom of the Press?

ST. PAUL, MINI, April 25, 1ss9.-The
Capital Punishment bill, which passed
the Legislature in its last hours, is a pecu-
liar one. Under its provisions the prisoner
is to be kept in solitary confinement and
see no one but his family his lawyers and
his spiritual advisers. He is to be
executed before sunrise, and may
invite three persons to be pres
ent. The Sheriff invites six persons
besides the surgeon. The most unique
feature of the law, however, is the pro-
vision which makes it misdemeanor for
any newspaper to print anything more
about the matter than the announcement.
