decision attaching Greer county to Okla
homa and making it part of the territory
for all purposes. Heretofore Texas has
assumed jurisdiction, and the present suit
was brought to settle long disputed
point. The expected decision will be an
immense increase in Oklahoma's domain,
and will be another strong argument for
statehood.

Ell Reno Courier: Judge Connen came
in today from Arapahoe. He says the
wind storm out there played smash with
their light tents and houses, and carried
off their county and city papers and scat
te red them to the four winds. The forms
of the Arrow were already made up ready
to go to press. The wind tore the tent
down in which the Office was located and
scattered the type over the prairie. Such
is life on the frontier.
A dispatch from Washington to the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says that the next
opened to settlement in the
Indian Territory will be the Kickapoo.
"a perfect little garden" Delegate Har-
vey calls it. The land lies due east of
Oklahoma City. All around it the other
have been opened. The first
land occupied, Oklahoma proper, is west.
The Sac and Fox reservation, on the east,
and the Pot owatomies, on the south, were
opened last fall. This kickapoo land en-
braces about 200 acres. 1t is very
choice, Judge Harvey says. Part of it is
in the broad valley of the Canadian. From
the valley the hills rise gently, and there
are many groves. The Kickapoos only |
number 200 or 800, and they have taken |
their allotments in group in the extreme |
corner of the reservation. |
Already the senate has ratified the agree !
ment with the kickapoos for the purchase |
Of the land. Delegate Harvey has ceased |
10 press the house BILL believing that the |
senate bill when it reaches the house will |
pass more rapidly. He says that the fine |
quality of this Kickapoo land appears to |
De known, for he is receiving great many /
etters, not few of them from southwest |
Missouri, asking about the probable open
ng of the kickapoo reservation and also |
lbout the status of the Cherokee strip. |
The bill relating to the strip purchase is
low under consideration by sub-com-
nttee of the senate Of the committee on
indian affairs. 1t will be reported to the
ull committee on the third Monday in
Nay.
