SOME people are raising a great
cry against the attitude of the
Dawes commission in the matter
offbe Wallace roll of negroes made
some years ago without protest
from the authorities of this nation.
Some prominent attorneys of the
nation, Cherokees by blood too sat
in Wallace's court and accepted
fees from the negroes and did all
they could to get them on the roll
and the nation was not represented
at all. This howl at the Dawes
commission comes at this time in
very poor taste.

GROCERIES!
---%s---|--

In good times people buy
what they wish; in bad
times they buy what thev
must. When money comes
most easily it goes most
readily; but when a silver
dollar looks as large as a
Kansas Jimmi-cane and is
fearfully lonesome its own
er cllngs to it until he finds
a bargain. He has a big
dollar and wants a big dol
lars worth, and he is right.
We have endeavored at all
times to sell Groceries and
Provisions at prices that
satisfied the most eXacting.
And now with a fair pros
pect of good crops, together
with the Strip money float
ing around, we are still IN
the front. We want your
trade, and if low prices and
fair dealing be any induce
ment we are bound to have
it. You will find everything
that may be had at a hrs't-
class Grocery Establish
ment. Call and see what
the purchasing power of a
dollar will do for you.

Ia d VOSS. a hard character who
Lei said he belonged to the Coo k
gang, was killed at Oatoosa last Fri
day by Coon Cooper, who is deputy
| postmastei. Voss was at Catoosa
some last year but stole a saddle aud
went to the strip. Recently two Of
his chums went into Catoosa and
"shot up the town" and accused the
postmaster OF swindling them out of
ten cents or some such sum. They
made a good deal of noise and finally
rom Reynolds, postmaster, took his
gun and ran them cc; OF town. FRI
day while drunk Voss related the in
cident, aud Invited the crowd down to
see him make the postofIice folks
"hunt their holes" This wGs his
command as he rode upon the plat
form Of the postoflice, firing his pistol.
Realizing that the time for action had
come Mr.. Cooper got his gun and
killed Voss dead the first fire. Mr..
Cooper at once telegraphed the U. 5.
officials and on his examination by the
commissioner at Ft. Smith Monday
was discharged. Mr.. Cooper is a
brother.in-law of Lee Crutchheld and
his folks reside in this city. A great
deal OF whisky is sold by peddlers at
Caloosa and the town is what may be
termed pretty rocky" The marshals
make a great show at times of vigil
ance but generally conine their
efforts to arresing someone who has
brought in a jug for his own use in
stead Of staying until nightfall, when
the regular traffic begins. About a
year ago Catoosa had similar occur
renee and for a time moderately fair
order prevailed; it is hoped that sweet
peace will again settle down over the
town, for time at least.

no "flopping." The CHIEFTAIN

nov going on in full blast in
Vinita is only a forecast of what is
TO be shortly. Vinita stands easily
at the head Of all the towns in the
Cherokee nation az d its develop

point where it mus: 60 forward,
for it can never go backward, and
its development has become inter-

just such a city as this town is
destined to make as the gateway TO
