CATTLE MUST GO

GUTHEIE, o. T., Aug. 7.-Governor
sesy yesterday received = telegram
FROM c. 4. Davis. inspector of the In
terror department. at ArkansAs City.
saying that the commander At Fort
Reno had been ordered by the secre-
tary of war TO remove ali the cattle
from the Cherokee stripe; that Cover
nor Humphrey OF Kansas had ordered
the sheriffs of all border counties TO
keep ali cattle out of the state.
Governor Seay At once telegraphed
instructions TO every sheriff IN Oklaho-
ma that an attempt may be made to
drive q portion of them through the
territory and TO prevent this at all haz-
zsrds, as the passing OF such cattle Will
endanger the stock of residents. An
armed posse 10 already on duty on each
county line and every COW that crosses
into Oklahoma will be killed.
AEsEID. I. THE leading cattle
owners say they will sign their stock
over TO the Cherokee Indians before
they will suffer the severe loss in max
ing the long drive TO Texas. In view OF
the fact that the Cherokee nation and
barons are not on the best of terms it
Is matter Of conjecture whether
this can be done.
