A large delegation of Chickasaws
attended the equal division con-
vention here on Wednesday last.
We think there is little doubt but
that a majority of the Chickasaws
are in favor of equal division
Their country is almost complete
ly overrun by non-citizens who
trade in farms as though they
owned the land in fee simple.
Large tracts of land are held by
men who have no shadow of a
right in the country and are not
even permitted as the law requires.
OF course these men are not anX-
ious TO have the country divided
among the Indians, as they would
lose their hold on the land when
ever this was done.-lndian Citi-
zen.

The Cherokee Advocate is owned
and run by the Cherokee nation
We understand it has always been
tex on the nation. In years
gone by the Advocate was doubt
less of service to the Cherokees as
a news dispenser and exponent of
the Cherokee rights, but The many
individual newspaper enterprises
that have sprung up in the Chero-
kee nation supplies that place and
leaves the Advocate without more
prestige and patronage than have
other papers that have sprung up
on their merit, and supply a place
that they are paid for filling, and
the Advocate is left non-expense
bearing composition in the news
paper field. 1t wonId be a good
thing for the nation to sell the Ad-
vocate and go out of the newspaper
business. but if it will keep up its
pet, we can't think of better
newspaper man to put at its helm
than Waddie Hudson, who wants
the iob.-Phoenix.

Hon. L. B. BELL, of Vinita, was
here this week attending circuit
court. Mr.. Bell don't look the
least jaded as q result of the late
trace" He is one of those in
domitable fellows that you can't
"do up. Telephone.
Well now, speaking from the re-
suits of three consecutive cam
paigns in Delaware in which Mr..
Bell got beaten, we should judge
that he could be "done up" pretty
easily. But perhaps when he gets
down to Tahlequah and imbibes a
iew rounds of "white mule" he
really does feel indomitable.

The Atoka Allotment Meeting.

The great allotment meeting at
Atoka came off the 4th. The
editor had the pleasure of attend
ing, and enjoying the meeting.
Upon arriving Capt. McKennon,
DR.. E. Poe Harris, of Savanna, and
ourself were whisked cut to the
grounds by Mr.. Scratch, behind
his spanking team.
The meeting was called to order
and the objects explained by DR..
E. n. Wright, who then delivered
the opening address. This address
was able, comprehensive and pat
riotic. 1t shows a thorough grasp
of the situation and the manliness
to meet it. 1t received unstinted
praise.
Judge Durant was the interpret
er and most of the proceedings
were given in English and Choc-
taw.
After the address of DR.. Wright,
dinner was announced, and this,
to the hungry editor, was the most
intensely interesting part of the
exercises. We enjoyed the nos
pitalitY OF Mr.. and Mrs. Robb.
The barbecued beef was the finest
we have ever seen.
Judge A. r. Durant was the first
speaker after dinner, and he made
a strong appeal for immediate
action.
Resolutions, substantially the
same as those adopted at Harts-
horn, were read and then passed
througb the audience for signers.
We are hot able this week 70 give
the number of signers.

WHERE QUANTRELL DIED.
Rev. Mr.. Cobb Says 1t Was in the Sis.
ters' Hospital, Louisville, KY.

There appeared in the Star yes
terday a dispatch from Little Rock,
Ark, giving what purported to be
a true account of the death of
Quantrell, the guerrilla. 1t was to
the effect that Captain Simon
Horseley, before his death, had
stated that Quantrell was killed by
Kentucky Confederates on account
of a raid he had made near Bards-
town, Ky, in the spring of 1865.
The Rev. Thomas Cobb, pastor
of the Methodist church at Thir-
teenth and Brooklyn, knows some
thing of Quantrell's death, and
this Is his story;
Il knew Captain Horseley init
mately. He was my warm friend.
| do not believe he made the state
ment attributed to him in regard
to the death of Quantrell. In De-
cember, 1864, Captain Horseley
and myself went into the southern
counties of Kentucky as cavalry
recruiting officers under the au-
thority of General Forrest, aud re-
mained there until 1865, when he
surrendered to General John NJ.
Palmer at Louisville.
"While in that country we met
Quantrell's band and travelled and
camped with it for two days and
nights. Quantrell was on his way
to West Virginia and Maryland to
join Mosby. Horseley and Guam
trell had many long talks and
Quantrell urged Us to go with him.
Quantrell did not interfere with
the rights of private citizens in
that country, and had no trouble
with confederate troops. We left
him and he continued his march
through Kentucky.
"When he reached the central
counties of Kentucky, General Lee
had evacuated Petersburg and was
on the retreat, and it looked as if
the army would surrender. Guam
trell then stayed his march to
await developments. Ii was then
that he had a skirmish with feder-
al troops, the twelfth Kentucky
cavalry, and was seriously wound
ed. He was not known as Guam
trell during that expedition, but
went under the name of Captain
Clark.
"He was taken to Louisville and
placed in a hospital. He sent for
a priest when he learned that he
would probably not SURVIVE his
wounds and asked to be sent to
the Sisters hospital. There he
died and his body was buried in
the Catholic cemetery in Louisville
as that of Captain Clark.
Il was paroled in Louisville
about that time by Colonel Folsom.
One day Colonel Folsom asked me
if | knew Quantrell, and l told
him | did. Then he asked me if
/ would identify him and said |
would if he were dead. Then you
would not identify him if he is
alive?' asked Colonel Folsom.
No. | replied. l was then taken
to view body but it was not that
of Quantrell. But a day or SO
after, several of Quantrell's men
saw the dead body of their leader
in the Sisters hospital aud attend
ed his funeral in the Catholic cem-
etery. This believe is the true
story of Quantrell's death and
burial"
The Rev. Mr.. Cobb was one of
the first recruits to Captain Frank
Cockrell's company of the second
Missouri infantry, and afterwards
transferred into Lyons cavalry
under General Forrest. c.

The Citizen has always worked
for whatit thought to be the best
interests of the Choctaw people.
1t began as an Indian paper, re-
ceiving an Indian name, and has
fought for what it considered to be
the best interests of the Indian peo-
pie ever since its establishment.
1t has fought the treaty plan of
allotment and it is still ready to do
so, but when the representatives
of the U. S. government come to
the Indians and tell them that if
they will divide their country
equally amongst the citizens, the
U. S. government will put them
in possession of all their lands, and
protect them in all their rights. as
such land holders, against the
non-citizens that are overrunning
the country then it is plain enough
to US that it is their duty to accept
the terms. Ifthey do not do so,
they will rob themselves and their
posterity of rights that they might
have secured, by acting before it
was too late. If the treaty allot-
ment is forced on them, after they
have refused to act and divide
their country, they will only get
one hundred and sixty acres each
and one dollar and twenty-five
cents per acre for the balance, when
if it were divided, and they had
the privilege of selling a part of it
as individuals an average of So
per acre could be realized for
all the land in the territory. With
these facts before US, we would fail
to discharge our duty to the Indian
as defender of his rights, if we
did not advise him to act prompt
ly in the premises, and secure
these benefits before it is too late.

THERE is little doubt but what
the rights of all classes of citizens
in the Cherokee nation will be
finally settled at an early date. If
you are a white adopted citizen
you should send your name accom-
panied by one dollar to the treas
urer of theWhite Adopted Citizens
association and be enrolled a men,
ber, so as TO be in a position to
have your status established. The
time has come when it is the part
of wisdom for each citizen 10 know
exactly where he stands as regards
bis rights to participate in the di-
vision of land that is soon coming.

Is discussing the status of the
white adopted citizens OF this ma
ton no stress whatever need
be placed upon what that
class of our citizens have or have
not done for the country. The
whole matter must hinge on the
law and the section Of the constl-
tution of the Cherokee nation un-
der which they become citizens.
Section five of amendments to arti-
Gle three of ,he constitution defines
and fixes the status of all classes
of citizens here; that and that alone
is sufficient to settle the question
as to the rights Of adopted citizens
in this country.

selves to the orchestra. Nearly all the

having been extended around the entire
building and heaters put on at intervals.
