Disgraceful State of Affairs in the
Indian Territory.
BANDITS ESTABLISH A REIGN OF TERROR
Organized Bands Plumber and Muir
der at Will.
MARSHALS POWER WEAK

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, November 16.-In
the opinion of Maj. c. b. Moore, promi-
nent attorney of this city, who has just re-
turned from a trip to the Indian territory
where Bandit Bill Cock and his reckless
followers hold sway, the situation In the
territory is. indescribable. There is practi-
cally no such thing as the enforcement of
the law, and the bandits are virtually I'M
molested in their appalling depredations.
Maj. Moore spent several days at Musco-
gee and Fort Gibson. and he says the bust
ness men and property owners there are
panic stricken at the complete commercial
paralysis resultant from the reign of law
lessness. Not half of the crimes committed
find space in the newspapers; in fact, the
half has not zen told of the terrible condi-
ton of affairs.
Organized gangs go from place to place,
plundering right and left, and adding muir
der to their category of crimes when re-
Sistanee Is offered to them.
Marshal CrLmp and his men are sparing
10 efforts to protect property and life, but
they seem to be powerless to check the
sway of the bandits. Maj. Moore says the
situation is growing worse all the time.
Crime is conGenial to a heavy percentage
of the territory population, hence there is,
of course, strong opposition from certain
contingent to change in the present coz
duct of things.

The Commissioners recently promulgated
an order for the opening of minor street

Congress providing for the opening OIL d.
leys. The Commissioners were IN uoupt
as to the proper proceedings to take In the
matter and they have requested their at
torney to pass upon the matter. This ne
has done, saying:
Having satisfied yourselves that the
petition for the opening OF TINS street mas

next thing to do is to have the surveyor

ment with the owners of the lots or parts

No More SnaallDOx.

There was one suspicious case of small
pox reported to the health office this morn
ing, but whether or not it is genuine is not
yet known. DIR. Woodward stated to a Star
reporter this afternoon that he feels con-
fident that the threatened contagion has
been stamped out. He bases this opinion
on the fact that the period for possible in
cubation from the cases that developed
about two weeks ago has passed. The only
sources of danger according to DR.. Wood
ward, are the Drayer and Williams cases.
those patients being ensconsed in private
houses, not in the hospital. Every precau-
ton, however, Is being taken to isolate the
cases. and no person and no article Is al
lowed to leave the houses in question.
