issued a manifesto to his people warning
them to have nothing whatever to do with
the Democratic convention called to meet
at South McAlester on Oct ). He says

lowed with the limits OF his territory with
out the special sanction of the council.
The honorable governors letter is impo-
tent to prevent his people from participant
ing in that or any other convention if thew

toward his people may be good, it comes

nectioDs shall be with the $4,000 whites
they have invited to live among them.

1889 having ridden 10 the tract from the
eastern boundary line of the territory
some nine or ten miles distant; that he
came to Purcell, in the Indian Territory,
on the night of April 8, 1889, and remained
there until the Thursday before the open
ing; that he bought a horse and rode due
east across nook of Oklahoma territory,
miles, over the Saawneetown r0ute,
public road, to the Pot
tawatomie country. and thence north
about thirty five miles 10 the Canadian
river (meauing, doubtless, the north fork
OF said river. at a point east of the land in
dispute. / cannot conceive how the act OF
Debolt in crossing this nook on a public
road, some thirty-fv miles south OF the
land he selected, was a violation OF the
spirit of the law and gave him an undue
advantage" over others, and cannot,
therefore, agree with you that he is dis
qualified from making an entry"
