Some of Bee Guthrey's nonsense: /,
Pike" will write you few OF the things
that have happened around ingalls,. There
lives at this place of great fame like unto
that of Sampson and bis Delilah, like unto
himself, and he also had handmade who
was always at his side, as a shadow Is 70
its substance Now there lives close by
the city of ingalls, very great PhIllstian,
who Is tall and fierce, and as the syna-
gogue of ingalls, was full Of people wor-
Shipping there the Philistian came also,
and when the preacher had made an end
of his sayings and the people were going
away the Sampson-iike man stopped TO
put the lights out and lock up the house,
when the Philistian made war upon the
great man, and the man called, Delilahl
Delilah and she went to the rescue with
mighty weapon of warfare, the coal oil
can" and struck the Philistian over the
head with it; then the handmade came to
the rescue also, and beat the Philistian
over the head with the book of psalms,
and said, oh! thou wicked Philistian, why
dost thou assault my lord! And Delllah
tainted away, and once more peace reign
ed, as the high constable was not TO be
found having hid in the dog fennel.
J. J.sBurke: President Harrison must
recede from his ruling regarding the right
Of the Cherokees to Craze their cattle upon
the strip before those Indians will ever
agree to a sale The government had
them on the hip and they were very rap
idly getting into the notion of selling, for
the land WAS reproductive and not bring
ing them in cent of revenue; but this
decision has put another phase on the mat
ter and given the Cherokees new life.
The fact is it was a ruling made directly
in the interests of the cattle barOnS and
exactly in line with their wishes; and
the ruling will not be RECONSTRUCTED until
after the presidential election. 1t Is also
very probable that the Cherokee commits
sion has its orders from headquarters and
their eXertlons TO come TO an agreement
with the Cherokees and purchase the strip
will not be very strenuous or urgent, how
ever much they may seem SO, until after
the election. The only hope is in the SUI
preme court, that Judge SeayS decision
that the CheTOkeeS have no right to the
strip will be affirmed In the meantime
that body of land, as fine farming land as
there is in the United States. will be
covered with cattle ostensibly belonging
to the Cherokees, and the honest settler
can take back seat. The Cherokee strip
will not be thrown open TO settlement for
a good while yet.
