In answer to inquiries regarding the
opening OF other Indian lands | will say
there is no information al this Office when
the Fort Sill country will be thrown open
to settlement, but this much can safely be
said. ii the United States officers had put
the cattlemen out of the Territory in De-
ceInber, 1890. the Fort Sill country would
now be opened to settlement. From relia-
bic sources | learn the Comanche Indians
notified the cattlemen last summer that
they must vacate their reservation; that
the Indians wanted to take their land rs
citizens and 90 to farming. BY some means
the cowmen or officers. or both, have been
able TO prevent it so far.
The Indian agent at Anadarko has been
notified that he never has enforced the or
der issued at Washington. Also that IA
settlers will See to II that the cattleuGu
will obey thelaws and get out regardless of
consequences The settlers III the Chicia-
saw Nation have united with US and are Il
unit on the subject. at least that is the
report here. While refusing to arrest the
cattlemen or modest them. the United States
deputy marshals have made arrests of every
settler they can find along the river after
ware. In one instance they arrested a
preacher for buying posts from IL hungry
Indian. who had permit from the Indian
The preacher was taken 100 over miles
from home and turned loose.
In another instance, two little boys, I'M
der twelve years Old, were arrested and
kept all night. and only by the earnest en-
treaties of their neighbors We're released:
vet this officer, when asked why he did not
arrest a certain cowman, answered he aid
not know or care Il d-n.
Reports received here to-day say they are
putting the cOwmen out now. but they are
cowmen's reports Our colony of settlers
are around three sides of the reservation
and on guard.
To the homeseekers at Ennis we say:
The Fort Sill country will be opened up as
soon as we eau get officers there who will
put the cowrnen out and allow the Indians
to Ike their lands and become citizens.
The Indians are AL ready, but the officers
and cowmen are in ''cahoots," plundering
the public domain and the public purse.

United States officers to deny it and to call
on me to prove it either in the courts o. in
