HOW IT AFFECTS NO MANS LAND.
WASHINGTON, April 17-There was a
curious oversight in the construction of
the bill passed by the last congress for
the court which has just organized with
PRAYER at Muskogee. This bill extended
the jurisdiction of the new court over
No Man s Land as well as over Oklahoma
and tine Indian tribes, but limited it to
misdemeanor. Jurisdiction in cases of
felony in the territory was continued to
the courts in the surrounding states,
but it was forgotten that the courts had
never had jurisdiction over No Mans
Land. The result is that in the very
peculiar section of the United States
which has hitherto had no government at
all, except such as free and easy resi-
dents provided themselves with, there
is the judicial machinery for the punish
ment of minor offenses, but there is no
tribunal for the trial of felonies. Debts
can be collected in No Mans Land and
fines can be imposed for misdemeanors,
but there is neither courts nor law to
reach murdererS and theftS.
