FISH FATALITY.
The County Commissioners Visit Lake
Madison and Find Many Dead Fish
on the Shores.

The county commissioners to-day Wis
tied Lake Madison Ia response to COM
plants that large numbers on dead fish
were strewn along the shores. From
Commissioners Clark we learn that the
number is 0 as large as the COM
have been led TO believe, but
still the number of dead fish is very
great. They are to be found all along
the lake front Of the Chantauqua
grounds, but most in bayons,
especially in the large bayou at Lees
point. The dead fish consist OF pick
erel, buffalo, suckers, bullheads and
perch, the suckers having suffered the
greatest fatality and the pickerel the
least. Mr.. Clark reports having seen
many large specimens OF pickerel and
buffalo, the former measur Nc 31s feet in
length, and many Of the latter evidently
weighing from 65 to rs pounds. It is
presumed the fsh congregated in the
bayous, we're frozen 10, or cut of from
the lake, and smothered. The COM
1iiissioners will dispose OF the carcasses
near travelled roads, and leave those in
Isolated places TO be devoured by peli-
cans, buzzsrds and other feathersd
s~cavengers.

providing that when both parties to a

ton to the presiding judge Of any err

judicial officer extraordinary powers.
Not only are errors which may inter-

judge has the same authority d the ma
jority Of the justices of the supreme
court of the United States and he can
enter Judgment and decree, both to be
final, and from which there can be no
appeal. The case now being tried is
the FIRST one of any magnitude TO come
within the provisions OF this remarkable
hearing. It Is q com hination Of all the

American and foreign courts for over
1--we years, involving millions OF prop

WHO OWNS THE LAND9

1.-The lands Of the Cherokee ma.
ton shall remain common prop.
erty" is the language of the Cher
okee constitution; therefore any
law that allows one citizen to mo.
nopolize more Of the public do
main than that citizens share
would be if a division was had, is
unconstitutional and is therefore
void.
True, "the improvements are
the indefeasible property of the
citizens, "Dut when these''indefeas-
ible" improvements take the form
Of wire fences and surround large
tracts Of the public domain they
become nuisances that sooner or
later must be abated. No man ac-
quires any additional rights over
other citizens on account OF the mum
Der or extent OF his improvements,
for we must always get back TO the
original proposition above quoted
from the constitution, "The lands
Of theCherokee nation shall remain
common property"
The nation has parted with the
title TO no part of the domain Of
the nation proper; not even a town
lot LAS passed from the common
ownership of lands. Then, this
being the case (Which is indispula-
ble) II necessarily follows that the
power to restrict settlement Of the
public domain rests with the ma.
iional council and the fact that a
citizen has improvements that
cover many thousands of acres over
and above the share Of any indi-
vidual, cuts no figure in the matter
whatever, as no one acquires any
additional rights by the extent Of
improvements. The right OF occu.
pancy is The substance of the
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1894-11-29

'deeds" from the nation given to
town lots, and this Fright Of occu-
pancy" is the thing purchased Of
the nation at the town lot sale and
guarantees no additional rights
than those enjoyed by every cii-
zen who is in legal possession Of
any part Of the common domain,
whether it be in town or country
or whether IL be town lot or farm.
When the final allotment comes
which all will admit must come
some time---this same original idea
Of commonality of lands must nee
essarily be adhered to in town and
country alike because every citizen
in the whole nation owns an equal
interest in all the lands, without
any distinction whatever. No cit
izen has rights to the common
property not enjoyed by all; and
the owner(2) of the most valuable
town lot in the Cherokee nation
only owns il in common with some
10000 other equal owners Of the
land. Positively, under the con.
stitution of the nation, there is no
individual ownership of land, and
there can be no law granting one
citizen privileges over others with
out a corresponding change in the
canstitution
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1894-11-29

The recent decision of the su.
preme court of the United States
in the cases of the Delawares and
Shawnees virtually settles the
status of all adopted citizens of the
Cherokee nation. The clause in
the Cherokee constitution that de.
fines who are citizens of the nation
was the point on which the decis-
ION turned, which is as follows:
"All native.born Cherokees, all
Indians, and whites legally men,
bers Of the nation by adoption, and
all freedmen who have been liber-
ated by voluntary act of their for.
mer owners or by law, as well as
free colored persons who were in
the country at the commencement
of the rebellion and are now resi-.
dents therein, or who may return
within six months from the 10Th
of July, 1866, and their descend
ants who reside within the limits
OF the Cherokee nation, shall be
taken and deemed TO be citizens of
the Cherokee nation"
