ing briefly :n account of the awiess
condition Of affairs in that section,
and asking that some action be aiken
by the United States authorities which
will restore order and protect citizens

armed bandits are in practical control
Of the territory. The Indian police are
powerfess to protect the people and
prevent robbery. lMwless gangs In
fest all sections. Men are held up by
highwaymen in broad daylight and
robbed. Life and property are not
secure either by day or night. The
express companies have refused to
transport money and no other means
Of carrying funds have been devised.
There are three we'll known organized
gangs Of desperadoes, composed OF
thieves, thugs and tough characters
from all sections Of the country who
make a business of pillaging the peo-
pie. A u result a reign OF terror OK

driven out of the Indian Territory.
Just how this is to he done. he says,
is difficult to determine. There has
been considerable discussion in con-

in the Indian Territory. and sug-
gestions have been made for an IL

1t il recognized by those who have

1t has been suggested that in the
present emergency the territory could
be placed under martial law and

of the gangs which infcst it. This
would be an extreme measure, and

a Maine sportsman. He felt a good

readiusted his bait and made another
cast. In Il minute the hook was again
taken. and he pulled in a two-pound
trout. 1t was hooked in the side of the
mouth, while upon the other. side q
piece more than an inch long had been
torn from the jaw, and the wound was
still bleeding. This showed conclusive
ly it was the same fish that had Just
