Order Free Sons of Israel, addressing a
meeting of the order here said, among
other things
"In 1889, when the religious crusadcs
in Roumania and imperial Russia took
place against the Hebrews, emigration
numbering thousands set in towards
American shores. With the yearly in
crease, numbers of anarchists and
nihiHsts, made so through brutal
government came over with these un-
fortunatcs and preached their damnable
and pernicious doctrines
"They had forgotten the essence of
the teachingsof their fathers, that Juda-
ism is u religion Of law and order
Tho dastardly and cowardly attempt
OF Russian murderer dynamitcr and
anarchist upon the life OF the manager
of the Carnegie works has shown the
effect of the pernicious doctrines that
have been inculcatcd in the aliens who
land on our shores without the first
conception of the duties Of au Amor
lean citizen and the liberty afforded 10
every individual under our form OF gov
cTnmcnt.
Il am in favor Of rigidly enforcing
the return Of all aliens who are known
as nihilists, dynamiters and anarchists.

men Of all crecds. colors and national

CATTLE MUST GO.


| Orders issued That All Trespassers on tho
Cherokee strip Must Get oat
FL RHso, Ok, Aug. 0. The cdict has
been sent forth from the department In
Washington 20 eject all trespassers
found ia the Cherokee strip.
in pursuhnce Of this peremptory or
der 40 an carly hour three troops were
dispatched from the fort under COM
mand of Capt Michler, with full ac-
coutrement Of arms and several days
rations. Their departure was kept
quiet and the regulars themselves did
pot know when they started where
they were going, only that they were
equipped for a long ride and IL was
matter Of conjecture when they would
return A correspondent learned
al a late hour from a person who re-
sides at the fort and who, although not
member Of the regular army, Is in
good position to speak authoritatively,
that the troops would leave at sunrise
for the strip with orders to eject all
persons and stock Of amy kind found IN
the forbidden territory.
1t was about 9 o'clock when tho
troops left the fort and they immediate
ly rode of rapidly in a northerly direc-
tion.
The correspondents informant fur
thcr stated that the soldiers would go
direct 10 Enid. q small flag station on
the Rock Island, about ten miles north
Of Henuesscy and would camp there
while waiting for further orders or at
least while scouts were accommodating

east probably as Red Rock on the San

The fact is that there are so many
cattle in the strip that it is problem
to the soldiers where TO begin the act
Of eiectment and Capt. Michler will
hold his troop at Enid until the entire
surrounding country can be recon-
noitered and a list procured Of those in
that vicinity who are feeding stock and
the names of the herdcrs Orders will
be issued from that pointt oall cattlemen
in the strip TO leave the territory immedi
ately or their cattle will be confscated
and the owners and herders arrested as
trespassers 1t Is only the small herd
ers who are in and around Enid, Wild
Horse and the sloughs east and west OF
these places, and why the troops should
first camp there is IA mystery, unless it
is 20 give the bigger cattlemen time to
learn Of the intended raid and get their
herds on the go for the Cheyenne line
or to Beaver county, which used to be
No MANS Land.
The big herds some Of them contain
ing as many as "a, 600 head, are being
grazed on the rivers and creeks ten,
twenty and thirty miles west and
southwest of Pond creek, and if the
troops had gone direct TO Cantoument
