Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1895-11-21

Both houses have passed resolu.
tions inviting that commission
and the matter is in the hands of
a committee. The report of the
international council at Checotah
was adopted in advance, however.
***
Supreme court convened Mon
day with full bench, Judge Lon
Lynch being sworn in as the new
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1895-11-21

The long delay in counting the
vote and seating the principal
chief necessarily delayed the de-
livering of the message to the
council. The message was finally
delivered last Wednesday morning
at the opera house to as large and
as intelligent an audience as ever
gathered there Judge Springer
was holding court in the building,
but he kindly adjourned court for
the occasion and he, with the 9TH
er court officials and members of
the bar made part of the large
audience that listened attentively
and intereStedly to the message.
The universal opinion seems to be
that Chief Mayes' message was a
well timed, terse and plain expo
sition OF the condition and needs
Of the Cherokee people. The chief
presented the leading topics de-
manding the immediate attention
of council in clear cut, direct terms
and left no doubt in the minds of
the people as to his position on
the leading question of the day.
There was no dodging the issue
there. In regard to the adopted
citizens he said:
Section 3 of Article III, of the
amendments to the constitution"
defines who are citizens of the
Cherokee nation. The supreme
court of the United States in con-
STRUNG this section IN the Della
ware case decided that the adopt
ed classes therein enumerated were
entitled to the same civil, political
and property rights as Cherokee
citizens by blood. The Shawnee
case has also been finally decided,

Reduced Wool Rates.

Word was received in Lewistown
yesterday of d reduction in wool
rates by the Burlington officials. The
rate over their line from Billings to
Boston has been fixed at S1.4O, a
shave OF As cents. This is big cut
and will attract many clips to Bill
lings. The Burlington has built the
finest wool warehouse at Billings
that there is in the state and is first
in the field with II low freight rate
Judith Basin people should appreciate
this fact and favor the Burlington
people. Big wool and stock ship
ments from this section will do more
to bring the Burlington within our
borders than anything else and if We
get a railroad it will be built by the
B. & NJ.

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The United
States Supreme court today denied
the application OF Eugene V. Debs,
the strike leader. for writ of habeas
corpus. This is victory for the
government. No more important
question, with the single exception of
income tax, has come before the
supreme court during the last year
than the attempt of Debs and other
officers of the A. II. u. to secure a
reversal OF their sentences to jail by
Judge Woods for interfering with
interstate commerce and the running
OF mails in the great strike last sum-
mer. The decision of the court was
read by Justice Brewer and was
unanimous, there being no dissenting
opinion. All the contentious of the
government were sustained. The
conclusions of the court were that
the government had Jurisdiction over
every foot OF soil and over every
individual within the boundaries OF
the United States, and that while it
was one OF limited powers it had
sovereignty within these limitations.
1t has the power to invoke the civil
courts to remove distractions to
interstate commerce, and civil courts
had to enjoin those who made OBJ
structions to snch commerce. In.
junction was no bar to criminal
processes for acts done in violation
to the injunction. The circuit court
having final Jurisdiction, it's act was
not reversible by the supreme court
and the petition for writ OF habeas
corpus therefore was denied.

GOT A HORSE THIEF.
Sheriff Berky Believes He Has Captured a
Bad Man.

On the first OF May, f. A. Baldwin
of Muss-lshell had nine head ofhorses
stolen and about the same time other
parties in the vicinity also lost horses.
The fact was not reported to Sheriff
Berky until the 10th ofthe month, but
nevertheless he went quietly to work
on the case and now thinks he has
got his man in the person of George
Trotter, who was arrested at Glasgow,
Valley county, by order of Sheriff
Berky last Saturday. Trotter, it
seems came to the Musselshell
country about the first of May with
number of horses in his possession,
saying he had just come from Dakota
where he had been hunting wolves
and coyotes. The sheriff, however,
has information which leads him to
believe that Trotter was not out of
Montana and that the horses were
all stolen. The horses were traded
off and sold by Trotter to different
parties on the Musselshell, and the
same night he left Mr.. Baldwins'
horses were missing. Sheriff Berky
tracked Trotter to Glasgow, where it
is said he arrived with several head
of horses, and was arrested by Sheriff
Willis OF Valley county on receipt OF a
telegram from Sheriff Berky. Trotter
| is well known on the Musselshell and
in the vicinity of Billings, having
worked as a cowboy for a number oi
the stockmen. Sheriff Berky believes
he has sufficient evidence for con
viction and left by train for Glasgow
Tuesday night to bring his prisoner to
Billings Gazette.

Hole and that when he left everything
was quiet.
The dispatch giving the news of the
alleged massacre came from Market

Falls. It is thought strange that such
information should have been received
at one of these towns and not have
reached the other as both are on the
same railroad and telegraph line. 1t

is no road from Market Lane direct
to Jackson Hole and that the troops
must start from Idaho Falls.
