Territory have been instructed by L. a.
Fuller, the general superintendent, not to
receive money to forward and to discon-

ton is the result of the frequent depreda-
tions made by bandits without interference
on the part of the authorities in the Indian
Territory, the United States Government
or the local government of the Indian
nation. The result is that although only
a short time has elapsed since the closing
