HENRY CLAY DEAN
Has a Bout With the Sage of
Tanglewood.

Echoi l. T. Apri II.
EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-So Some weeks
ago Capt. VIM. Jackson, OF Tangle-
wood Ga new place to me), in an
article published in The CHIEFTAIN
starts out as though he was going
to defend the white mans rights
in the Cherokee nation In his
first article he claims that the
white adopted citizens have an
equal right to the soil and monies
and everything pertaining to the
Cherokee nation Upon this ques-
tion | took issue with Capt Jack.
son, and in behalf of my race pre-
sented, as best | could, the other
side OF the question After a
silence of several weeks Capt.
Jackson again comes TO the front,
not as the advocate of the white
mans rights only, but he rein.
forces himself by espousing the
cause Of the whole adopted ele-
ment in this nation The captain
is evidently anxious to increase
his following, for | will venture
the assertion that of all the
adopted white men in Delaware
district a corporal's guard could
not be mustered that share Jack
sons views in regard to their
rights IN the country The cap
tain's zeal in the cause in which he
started out (the white man $
rights becomes unmanagable and
runs over and spills out until it
includes the whole adopted ele-
ment in the country Wonder how
long this government would stand
il all the adopted citizens believed
as Capt Jackson believes? 1t |
am not mistaken the captain man
ifests a desire to discuss the rights
Of the Delawares and Shawnees for
a purpose. But | will state now
and here, that in my humble
opinion their rights do not extend
west of the 96th meridian, and |
base my opinion upon the agree
ments entered into with these peo-
pie and, wherever land is mem
toned at all it is explicitly To-
Gated east of 965, and | believe
that none but Cherokees by blood
have any right to share in the dis.
tribution of the money arising from
the grazing privileges or from the
sale of the lands west The time
is coming--is now here-when
these questions must be settled,
and an honest discussion will not
hurt either side, When the Cher
okees sold the Delawares and
Shawnees an interest in the land
of the Cherokee nation it was spe-
ojfically stated that the land was
east OF So, and they never re-
ceived one solitary cent for any
thing west Of the above mentioned
line. The Delawares and shaw
nees actually refused to buy an in
terest In those lands. Again, the
learned captain grows eloquent
when he comes to speak OF The
abundant resources of the country
He says: "Our hills. that are rich
in mineral. sleep with all their
wealth in their bosom" " Yes,
sleep indeed They are nearly all

1t is learned that Joe Riley shot
and killed Cherokee Indian on
Grand River one day last week
Sometime after the killing, Joe
Riley and Nick Mitchell were oc-
cupying room together at house
near the asylum in the territory,
and n woman belonging to the
family went into the room for some
purpose after the two men had re-
tired Her approach frightened
the suspicious Riley, who said to
his companions "Thcre they
come" meaning the friends Of the
man who Riley had killed
Mitchell at once leveled his gun
and shot the woman killing her
instantly The woman's name is
not known. Sloan Locomotive.

IT IS not opposition to the ulti-
mate ratification Of the Strip trade
by congress that is causing SO much
dissatisfaction among the people
of this nation, but 1t is the pro-
visions of the agreement that dis
pleases the people. We will prob
ably never get any more money
for il than the agreement calls for,
but the discriminating clause in
that agreement whereby a few
favorites get the lions share is
particularly rasplng to the rank
and file Of the citizens of the coun-
try. That the trade will event
ually be ratified there is little
doubt, but it will only be after
congress has amended it, and it
NAV be without the concessions
that were so desirable to make a
part of the deal. But in the event
of its ratification the citizens of this
country should exercise TIE rights
of petition and demand Of congress
that the proceeds be paid direct to
ali those who are entitled to share
in the distribution.

The stream of time ran peacefully
along beautiful banks lined with lilies
and primrOses, as our mutual friend
Allen Pierse merged last Saturday into
his thirty-seventh year. Hc went about
as usual in the morning, not thinking
that he, that day, was passing another
mile mark in his life's history. But in
the mind of his ingenious sister, Mrs
f. A. Shaw, there was Il plan for a strip
of fun, full width and genuine. A few
friends were invited to dinner at {
o'clock and the invitation was extended
to brother AL. There were present al
that table +. NJ. Lowry, E. A.

MINING MATTERS.

In company with him We went through
the place from first to last and saw many
new and wonderful things. A new tun-
mel started below the old one, drifting
on the lead. The rock was soft and
work progressed finely. A short dis
lance in the hill a crOsscut from the rich
