Ryan was confined here since 1881, at
which time he was sentenced to twenty

OKLAHOMA TOWN SITES.

No Authority to Allow q Corporation to
Enter Lands For a Town Site.
WASHINGTON, April 20.-The Secretary
of the Interior has rendered the following
decision relative to town sites in Okla
homa:
To the Commissioner Of the General Land Office:
WASHINGTON, April 20-Sir: I am in re-
ce1pt of your communication of the 18th inst.
relative to the application of the Oklahoma
Capital City Town Site and improvement Com.
pany, asking permission to locate and enter
certain lands in the Guthrie and Kingfisher
land districts for town sites in the Indian
Territory - seventeen in number said
application having been referred by
the department to your Office on
the nth inst concur in the views expressed
by you in your said communication that there
is no authority in the department to grant the
application of the Oklahoma Capital City Town
Site and Improvement Company to enter lands
as now presented; and 1 am also of the
opinion that the provisions of the act
of March O. 1889, providing for entries
OF land for town sites. under section
2.3T and z, 3S3 OF the revised statutes does not
apply to corporations of this character. AL.
though the President might have the power to
reserve land for town sites under section
1887 such reservation could not be made for the
benefit of a corporation of this character bu
would be disposed of in the manner now pro.
vided by law. Very respectfully,
JOHN w. NOBLE, Secretary.

Gated in the enforcement OF the criminal laws
of the United States. The criminal laws OF the
United States are found In title Xxx. of the Re-
vfsed Statutes and amendments thereto. and
also in the act creating tho United States
Court at MuskoEree; and also in numerous acts
OF Congress in regard 70 Indian reservations
but the statutes of the United States prescrib-
ing penalties for onenses on Indian reserva-
lions or in what Is called In the statute the
Indian country" will not apply to the lands In
the Indian Territory upon which the Indian
titles have been extinguished and which have
been or may be opened to settlement under the
laws of the United States. =
1t is OF the utmost importance that there
should be perfect freedom from violence OF
every kind. The settlers who 60 upon these
lands should frown down every attempt at q
breach OF the peace, and each man should exert
his utmost endeavors to secure settlement of
all difficulties by the peaceful means OF arbitra-
ton or by resort to the usual proceedings be-
fore the receivers registers of the land Of
fees. It should be the desire of every settler
and trust that it will be his boast hereafter
that no violence was resorte d to in the settle
ment of Oklahoma. Lawless and criminal
characters should be dealt with severely, but
by judicial processes.
1t is q matter of regret that there will not be
opened an area of public lands large enough to
satisfy the immediate demands of settlers. The
Secretary of the Interior may and should
speedily secure the'removal of the -CAeyennes
and Arapahoes south of the Canadian river.
This will open up about 100000 acres more
to settlement between the Cherokee Out
let and that river. The Commission APP
pointed to treat with the Cherokees
and other tribes will soon be on duty in the
Indian Territory and it is to be hoped and be-
heved that a cession Of all claims OF the Cher
okees to the Cherokee Outlet may soon be &C
Quired and the q, OOO. 900 of therein will in
the near future be opened by the Presidents
proclamation to settlement, the lands in
Oklahoma proper. The sooner these lands are
opened to settlement the better it will be for
all concerned.

Bill's Oklahoma colony, consisting Of 800
wagons, left Hunnewell yesterday and is
now waterbound at the Salt fork of the
Arkansas. twenty miles south of that city
in the Territory. While attempting to
ford the swollen and turbulent stream a
man named Freither and his horses were
drowned in full view of the frightened
Oklahoma men. who were unable
to render him any assistance. The acci-
dent demonstrated that fording was out
of the question, and the whole colony is
now engaged in the construction of huge
raft, upon which they hope to float over
to the other side with their teams and
effects.
