for a couple of them. He found one man !
named Wilson near Dead Mans crossing |

stituted suit at Muskogee against the

for the best locations. This will affect
not only the Cherokees, but all the five
civilized tribes IL would be somewhat
remarkable If, after all the craftsmanship
that has been exercised on this question
this should prove the way ont.
