VOW AT WINFIELD.

beetle Youth.
DR.. Pitcher, The Populist Of
ficia1. Swells the List.

The Informal investig alton, emil bellished
with broken heads and drawn revolvers,
OF the charges against Warden Dick
Chase of the state penitentiary before
the penitentiary directors who are
charged with being implicated with the
warden in the alleged crookedness has
been concluded.
The result of the investigation is .old
by the Leavenworth Standard as follows:
THE board Of directors. before whom
the investigation was held. almost imme-
diately rendered q decision generating
the warden in every particular He was
not found guilty on even the smallest
charge preferred against him"
This result is just what was expected,
but the odors from the corruption of the
Populist administration are getting so
strong that even the Populists them
selves are becoming alarmed over their
sanitary condition.
The scandals and charges about Chase,
McCasey, Pitcher Hitchcock and Todd
are causing more than ordina-
~ criticism of the administration,
and while Governor Lewelling
had apparently resolved ITO let
things go" until after election the flood
Of bitter complaint is becoming resist

turned aside, will wash the Populists
into slough of despond and an ocean Of
despair.
The joy Of the Republicans ever the
discontinue and disgrace of the PoDu-
lists adds bitterness to Lewellings cup

The slugging of Judge Mcdonald by
Warden Chase has brought forward con-
spicuously the crookedness in the other
&. state instutions. The demand for the re-
mOval OF the army of obnoxious officials
has become SO strong that the state
house crowd has become thoroughly
alarmed.
Fred Close, the governors lieutenant.
has gone to Hutchinson post haste to see
his chief about these matters. It is un-
derstood that strong pressure is now be-
ing brought to bear on the governor to
compel him to order a regular legisla-
tive investigation of the charges against
tne officials who have piled up a noun
tain of scandal and disgrace.
If Governor LeWeIling consents to
this be will call upon George T. Doug

Daniels, Lieutenant governor who will

ITO the President OF the Convention. Spring

II sincerely regret that cannot be
present at the convention today. My
duty in the present struggle is here. We
may yet defeat the pernicious Wilson
tariff bill. The death of the bill would
mean life TO the industries and labor Of
the country, employment to labor and
the end to loci1outs. 1t would mean that
no tariff Legislation would be enacted
until after the people have heard from
the polls in NOvem Der. l trust that the
convention may be characterized with a
spirit of harmony. l am sure its work
to-day will be ratified at the polls.

as such individual citizen was en-
titled to damages to the realty
occasioned by the wrongful act
of the railway company. The
Court of Appeals passed upon
the petition for rehearing on the
oath inst. and overruled and in
all things denied the same. This
case has presented a new ques-
ton, which was never raised be-
fore except in the case of Payne
VS.. X. & A. V. Ry. Co., tried
before Judge Parker at Fort
Smith, Ark. wherein Judge
Parker rendered a decision in ac-
cord with the Appellate Court 8
decision in the Rolf case. This
decision forever settles and puts
at rest the exact statutes of the
individual Indian citizen in the
Chickasaw Nation, and other ma
tions, with reference to his right
to complain against a trespass
committed upon his possession
by a wrongdoer, and is, indeed,
an important precedent for the
protection of such citizens against
the wrongful and unauthorized
acts of those who think the indi-
vidual Indian citizen has no
status whore the question of land
tenure is involved.

The Caso of A. II. RoH fer Dana ges
Against Santa Fe AHarAsd.
$4,000 and Costs.

When the g., G.. & S. f.
Railway Company built the rail-
road spur from Ardmore to the
coal mines it became necessary
to build a portion of this line
through A. b. Rolf s enclosed
promises and pasture east of the
main line, The railway COM
pany, without Roff's consent,
entered his promises and appro-
priated for right of-way purposes
strip of land one hundred feet
in width by about one and one
fourth miles in length. AT that
time there was no court in the
Indian Territory having juris-
diction of a suit by Rolf against
the railway company. Since the
| U. S. court was established, and
in 1892, Rolf employed C. l..
Herbert, Of the Ardmore bar, to
enter suit against the railway
company for damages occasioned
by the unlawful appropriation of
this property. the damages
were alleged to be S33, $50, which
Rolf claimed he sustained by the
appropriation of said right-of-
way, and the deterioration of his
property contiguous to said rail-
road spur. In November, 1893,
the case was tried in the U. S.
court at Ardmore, resulting in a
verdict and Judgment in Rolf s
favor for SO, 600. and costs.
From this judgment the railway
company prosecuted a writ of
error to the U. S. Circuit Court
of Appeals, Eighth circuit, and
on the 9th day of June, 1894, the
attorney for Rolf filed in the APP
pellate Court a motion to dismiss
the pretended bill of exceptions
and affirm the case on the plead
ings of the respective parties and
this motion was by the Appellate
Court sustained and the case
affirmed, with costs. Thereupon
the railway company filed its
petition for rehearing, alleging
that the U. S. court at Ardmore
had no jurisdiction of the subject
matter OF the suit for the reason
that the fee simple title to the
realty in the Chickasaw Nation
is vested in the Chickasaw tribe
of Indians as tenants in common,
and that, therefore, no individ-
ual Indian could sue and recover
for permanent injury to the real
ty; Roff's attorney, in reply to
this, took the position that whilst
the fee simple title is vested in
the Chickasaw tribe of Indians,
as tribe and as tenants in COM
mon, that under the local laws of
said nation and the treaties with
the United States government
and the federal statutes, that
Rolf, as a member of such tribe,
was the owner of an indefeasible
and perpetual usufruct title in
and to the realty-which amount
ed to fee-for the purposes OF
the suit, and that, therefore, Rolf
