HELD TO BE VOID.
So the U. S. Indian Agent Decides
the Sheriff Action.

MUsEoGEE, /. 7. Sept. II, 80.
JESS W. ELLIOTT, ESQ, Atty
for Gov. Belew, Vinita, |. T.
Dear Sir: am in receipt of your
communication of even date,
wherein you state that Ed. Adair,
Sheriff of Cooweescoowee District,
Cherokee Nation, did on the Sth
day Of Sept, 1890, sell the inn
provements of Gov. Belew. to one
w. r. Stuart, citizen of the
Cherokee Nation for the sum of
SIC. and that Gov. Belew is an APP
plicant for Cherokee citizenship,
and came to the Cherokee Nation
in the year 1880, and Immediately
commenced to make improve
ments; that he also put in claim
for citizenship, and some time his
case was reached and rejected by
the court, without giving him any
fair or reasonable showing; that
rn6 srid Sh'fiff Urged as an ad-
ditional reason for the selling OF
said improvements that Mr.Belew
had rented said improvements to
one w. P. Ward, a citizen Of the
limited States. In conclusion you
ask such protection in the posses
sion of said premises as tits proper
for this Office to extend.
In reply to the foregoing l will
say that under date of Augu ST
29th, 1899, the Honorable Com
missioner Of Indian affairs directed
this agency that the matter of dis
puted claimants to citizenship in
the Cherokee Nation is now under
consideration by the department.
and until the same is decided no
action will be taken by the agency
locking to the removal of any one
claiming citizenship in the Chero-
kee Nation. who entered that Ma
tion prior to August 18th, 1886, in
good faith, believing they had
rights there by bid d." And again
the Honorable Secretary of the
Interior in a prior letter holds
that, "This department does not
recognize the right of the Chero-
kee authorities to exercise juris-
diction over the person or pre-
perty of rejected claimants who
entered the Nation prior to August
11th, 1885, in good faith believing
they had rights there" and "that
any sale made by those authori-
ties of improvements owned by
such claimants, are illegal and
void and will not be recognized. "
As it therefore appears that
Gov. Belew entered the Cherokee
Nation and filed his claim for cit
izenship in said Nation prior to
August 11th, 1886, in good faith,
believing he had rights there, "
and made and now holds improve
ments in said Nation valued at
$500, the sale of said Improvements
by the Sheriff of Cooweescoowee
district is, under the ruling ofthe
Honorable Secretary of the Inter
ior, illegal and void and will not
be recognized as conveying to the
/ purchaser any right or title to
said property, and should any at
tempt be made to place the pur-
chaser in possession of said pro-
perty, l will, acting under former
instructions in such cases, pre-
vent by force, if necessary, Mr..
Belew from being dispossessed. II
matters not what Mr.. Wards in
terest in said property may be, he
is a citizen Of the United States,
and the seizure and sale of his
property by Cherokee authorities,
without due process of law in
some competent court, is unwar.
ranted in law and void.
Very respectfully,
LEO. f. BENNETT,
U. S. Indian Agent.

SEVERAL important towns are
certain to be built up within the
limits OF the five civilized tribes.
The Cherokee nation owes it 10
itself and its citizens to see that it
gets its share of this growth. The
addition of 100000 worth of i'm
proyements upon town site is
the addition of just that sum to
the intrinsic value of the Chero-
kee nation.

Governor Bradford Princes Idols.

81 am about as much an idolator as
any heather to be found" remarked
Governor l.. Bradford Prince, of New
Mexico, to a party of friends at the Mid
land. 81 have 900 idols, all of them rare
and beautiful and some Of them show
ing the work of the skilled artist and
sculptor. That is, dare say, the larg-
est collection of images owned by any
individual in the world. The collection
is unique and unlike anything to be
found in the possession of the govern
ment, the Smithsonian institution, or
any museum in the world. 1 am deeply
interested in the study and the collec-
ton, for the idols are the work of the
Pueblo Indians. Not the moderns who
live in adobe houses, but their ancestors,
who dwelt in stone houses three or four
stories in height. These Indians were
very devout and spent considerable
portion of their time in the worship of
their household gods, which seem to
have represented the sun, moon and
heavenly bodies.-Kansas City Times.

occurred until the evening. Then, as
he was standing in the hall just after
supper, he heard Jenkins talking to the
matron, and pointing to him.
"Parcsis," said jenkins. "You want
to watch him carefully"
And Drane took that delightful sug-
gestion to his apartment, and medi-
tated upon it. Was it possible that he
was really insane? Were the strange
events of the past few days which he
seemed to remember, in reality only
hallucinations?
Who could determine, ifleft wholly to
himself. without single visible link
between him and the past, whether that
past had any real existence? In short,
Drane didn't know whether he was
crazy or not. He watched himself for
symptoms, Did his hand tremble?
Or his heart beat too fast or too slow? He
enjoyed a nice case of hypochondriacism
till long past midnight, and when he
fell asleep, the zebras described by the
forgetful genius were ordinary and rea=
sonable animals compared to those
which pranced through his dreams.
But the morrow brought a great
event, no less than call from Bessie.
She came unattended, but alas! the
matron was present during the entire
interview. This not only prevented
