at the request of the chief, who
has for some time past been asking
the interior de partment to send q
special agent TO investigate and
learn the truth. and that he would
gladly give said agent access to
the records of every department of
the nation; that he felt satisfied that
such special agent would soon dis
cover the misrepresentation made
by Mr.. Watts, and the great fraud
he had been practicing upon both
the government of the United
States and the Cherokee nation.
The records and testimony in the
case are vOluminous. Much Of it
unnecessary and irrelevant. But a
very concise history of this case
as taken with all the records in the
case, certainly knocks the props
from under Mr.. Watts. The word
from this time on with him is tn
go-and not stand on the order of
his going. The Cherokees cannot
nor will not suffer this outrage
any longer. XIX.

TIGHTENING IT'S HOLD.
The Government Gives the Cow
Question.Another Turn

Commissioner Morgan. OF the
interior department, has sent the
following communication from
Washington. dated March 5, 1890,
TO Agent Bennett, regarding the
outlet:
SIR: You are advised that the
president CT the United States, by
proclamation dIted February Il.
1890, las directed the removal Of
all cattle and other live stock from
the Cherokee outlet lands, said
removal to take place not later
than October lst, next. and so much
sooner as said lands or any of them
may be or become lawfully open
to settlement by citizens of the
United States.
You are advised that the procla-
nation above referred to, confers
no authority upon any one holding
cattle upon the said outlet to drive
said cattle upon any other Indian
lands, and you are therefore direct
ed to use every necessary precaI-
ton to prevent cattle moving un-
der the said proclamation from be-
ing driven upon the lands under
your jurisdiction; and if any of
such cattle shall be driven there,
you viii turn them back and drive
them from the reservation with
the aid of your Indian police.
In the event of your inability to
prevent the invasion of the reser-
vat;on by such intruding cattle,
you viii promptly advise this Of
fee by wire.
You viii also see that no at
tempts be made, by any cattlemen
or others, to negotiate with any of
the Indians under your charge for
the privilege of grazing cattle on
any reservation or part of rescr-
vatipn under the jurisdiction of
your agency.
You viii keep a close watch up
on any cattle which may be mov-
ing towards the Indian lands un-
der your charge and promptly re-
port by wire the presence of any
intruding stock there. You will 4
also use due vigilance to prevent
the invasion Of the reservation by I.
any cattle infected with a conta-
giOus disease, and if such cattle /
are driven upon the reservation,
you will have them herdeG and .
cOrralled in an isolated place, and .
asSthis Office by wire for instruc- /
tiOns. Very respectfully, /
I. J. MORGAN,

THE END AT HAND.
The Watts Case About to Prove
q Fraud Upon the Government.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIS:-TO-morrow
viii probably see the end of the
famous Watts case. II is positive
ly in the sworn statement of Mr..
Watts himself, on examination be-
fore Special Agent Parker, that he
was never at any time admitted to
citizenship in the Cherokee nation
By the cOur: or commission on
citizenship, nor the national cCun-
Gil. To any sane man or one not
getting any Doodle, this certainly
puts a quietus on the Watts claim
ants for citizenship. The reason
why the government refused
to remove the Watts family
after the order had been issued for
their removal, WAS on account Of
the extraordinary statement made
in Washington, by the Hon. J.
". Watts that ne had been admit
ted to citizenship by the Cherokee
authorities, and that the records
had been Intentionally destroyed
by the Cherokee nation, simply to
defeat his (WattsO claim. The
whole of the business of Special
Agent Parker to the ration
is TO investigate these facts.

A THRIVTNG TOWN.

Last Friday THE CHiEFTAIS man
visited the thriving little towns Of
Ciaremcre aud Chelsea. So much
has been said of the former, some
space viii be given the latter.
Major Norwood says seven OF
eight years ago Chelsea had not
come into existence, and that moth
ing but waving prairie grass was to
be found where now the growing
little city stands. A few farmers
seeing that the land was exceed
~ good in that vicinity, moved
there and began to plant their
crops. This created a demand for
stores. Since then the country
has become thickly settled, and, as
a consequence, the town is moving
to meet the demands of trade. To-
day three new houses are going up
and some more are contracted for.
Among the reliable firms of this
place are P. Henry & Sons, NJ. w.
Couch K Son, c. W. Poole, Byrd
* Son, and McSpadden's new
drug store BY the wav, that drug
store deserves especial mention.
II is one OF the neatest in the
country, high ceiling, lighted well,
papered beautifully, stocked with
fresh goods and kept in order by
the handsome young druggist,
Frank McSpadden.
C. w. Poole is preparing to start
a brick yard; Mr. Davis is putting
up hardware store, and last, but
far from being least, Mr.. Couch is
putting up a mill-not a little
"corn-cracker," buta real Touring
mill that will furnish the trade
with first class -four.
There is no doubt bat that Chel-
sea is alive and moving.

Hos. z. L. OWEN stopped over
a few hours yesterday on his way
from Washington to Muskoges.
Mr. Owen says the strip is certain
" in 4 critical condition While
there is no inclination on the part
Of congress to impede any negotia-
fions that may be made by the
Cnited States and the Cherokee
nation, yet If no negotiations are
made, II Is more than probable
that the strip viii be opened TO
settlement. 4 willingness is
shown TO LET the CherOkees get a
fair price for the land; but even
our friends look upon the strip a
a large body of tillable land that
is not producing food as it should,
and think it should be made a
ieod producing country.

OUR SPECIAL WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE.
A Cessation of Hostilities-A New
Commission Possible.


wAsHfScTox. c. Mar ;. 1880.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN For the
want of something new or some
thing that would interest the gen.
sral reader I am often undecided
as to the expedieEcy Of writing a
weekly letter for publication, and
were it not for my promise to do
so | might skip a week occasion
ally.
Mr.. Struble, chairman of the
house committee on territories, is
away and, perhaps. for a week or
ten days. 1t seems that during
his absence the bill to organize a
government for Oklahoma and TO
provide courts in the Indian Ter
ritory viii remain undisturb-
ed. 1t has not been under
consideration for several days,
although by 4 rule of the house il
was to be taken up each successive
day until disposed OF, the only
subject having preference being
the worlds fair. In the meantime
the Cherokee and other Indian
delegations here are Industrious
" moving around among the mem
bers of congress and canvassing
against certain features Of the bill.
Under the rule Of the house it is
to be considered and passed upon,
section by section By this meth
cd Of procedure all Of the objec-
tion2Ole provisions viii be sub
jected 10 the direct attack by our
friends and offers Of amendment.t
Some Of our friends at home
seem 20 think that the Cherokee
delegates should attempt the role
of the bull whom the Irishman ap-
plauded for his courage, but
damned his discretion, when he
tackled a railroad locomoiive-in
other words 10 fight without ac-
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1890-03-13

comiaodation whatever, every bi Il
that ''infringcs upon our rights.
This wauld be sensible course if
there were not urgent necessities
for legislation upon other matters
in the bill. or if convinced by
ones own personal observations
or by the opinion of friends that
discretion is much better than
fool hardy opposition.
If the amendments offered by
US 10 the bill do not divest the bill
of all of It's objectionable features,
we surely are not committed to the
bill, but only to such amendments
suggested by Us, and if the objec-
tions are not removed, we are at
liberty to oppose its passage.
which We are preparing to do.
Our position in this matter is al
ready understood by our friends
in congress ANY mutton head
ed diplomatic ought to know that
this course is more effective than
blind and unreasonable opposition
to a measure that has a locomotive
behind it.
There is a kind of a semi official
report gaining currency that the
cause of the failure of the Fair
child commission will undergo an
investigation before congress or
some committee appointed ssr the
purpose. Not in antici patton of
this event, but that n clear and
comprehensive understanding of
the attempts at negotiations from
first to last may be had, we are
having all the papers and cores
popdence between the commission
and our authorities published in a
pamphlet. We are of the opinion
that by this means further nego-
tiations through 4 more friendly
channel than the old commission
may be made possible.
Should the investigation be re-
solved upon and the causes of fail
ure be investigated. a regular set
TO may be expected. At this dis
tance and the possibility of such
a thing | feel as did an old Arkan-
sas hunter of early days, when his
fiint-lOck failed to get in its work
on bear and a personal difficulty
between them was imminent.
Drawing his toothpick he awaited
the bears coming, but being 4 pi-
ously inclined hunter, when in
sight place, he put up a generous
petition to the good Lord that, if
he could not be with him, "please
not be with the bar" There GER
ia:nly viii not be any great deal Of
love brought out by such an inves-
tigation, should it take place, as
the commission viii, in all proba-
bility, try to lay ali the blame of
failure on our authorities.
Respectfully, JoHy L. ADAIR.
