Agent Bennett, After a Thorough Inves-
tigation, with the Assistance of a Hun
dred Chickasaw Scouts. Found Only Nine
Intruders In the Chickasaw Nation.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs yesterday morn
ing received telegram from Agent
Bennett ut Paul's Valley. |. T., dated
Sunday, in which he says that thor
ough investigation, with the assistance
of 100 Chickasaw Indian scouts, cover
ing territory of fifty miles he found
only nine intruders in the Chickasaw
nation, six of whom were given ten
days to gather their cattle and leave,
one was brush hiding, and the other
two were placed in charge of
the Chickasaw militia with orders
to remove them to Oklahoma.
Instead of doing this, however. the
agent SAYS that the captain of the
militia hired one as cook and the other
as teamster. In this section the Chick a.
saw authorities insisted that there were
800 families of intruders. The agent
SAYS that many names enrolled as in
truders are fictitious, many others have
permits to live in the nation for years,
while others are old, decrepit Mexican
war veterans who live entirely upon
their pensions, of whom no permit has
ever been demanded.
The agent says that facts have been
grossly misrepresented by the Chicka-
saw authorities, who issued hundreds
of permits which were not reported to
the national authorities, which were
paid in good faith and are now held by
non-citizens, listed as intruders, and
who also hold permits for each year of
their previous residence in the Chicka-
saw nation.
The movement has thus far resulted
in unmaslting the swindling schemes of
permit collectors, who he says are
fugitives from justice. With few ex-
ceptions those in the nation are peace
full, law-abiding citizens having tho
consent of the national authorities tc
remain there.
