THE removal of the intruders
from the Cherokee nation is at this
time the theme of all themes. The
Cherokees and the so-called intrud-
ers have been at loggerheads for
more than twenty years, and no
end OF bitterness and animosity
has resulted. The intruder ques-
ton has been the bone of conten-
ton everywhere. in church and
school and society. The promise
to remove these people was the
chief incentive to the Cherokees
to relinquish the title to the Strip,
more than half their domain.
There is little doubt but that the
matter is nearing a final settle
ment. The government has sig
nified a willingness to do its part
in carrying out the obligation en-
tered into in the Strip agreement,
and it is practically certain that
the intruders will have to move.

it from time TO time as his ability
might warrant. A vast prairie
swept away from the door sill of
his cabin and rolled away to the
south and east spreading out to
the view princely expanse of
flowing valleys and grassy slopes
of fertile soil, until for miles in the
distance, this ocean scroll ofverdure
was abruptly terminated and hand
somely bordered by the timbered
lands which mark the winding
course of the Verdigris. But the
man never lived to realize the
dream of prosperity and happiness;
he died suddenly and untimely,
leaving the widow and her chill
dren the sole occupants of the i'm
provement. For some years this
woman titled the little field which
had been left her by her dead hus-
band and in this way realized the
family bread; while a few cows
grazing at large upon the spon-
taneous fatness of the prairie con-
stituted an additional resource
which completed the sum-total of
her humble living. But there was
an evil hour in store for her. One
of these conscienceless wire fence
men came along one day; he threw
his abominable wire around this
great prairie, entirely taking in the
widow, her cows and her little
field, cutting the little homestead
entirely off from the outside world.
He then claimed all this land
as his own, up to within few rods
of the cabin door. The widows
COW was forbidden to Craze; and
more herself was debarred from all
reasonable egress to the outside
forest, her only source of fuel.
Hemmed in by this gigantic ex-
panse of monopoly, even the little
improvement itself has been made
worthless and of no value to any
body but this monopolist himself.
He has put himself in position in
WHICH ne Is dDiC W NiSldlC " lbO
widow upon what terms she must
sell, and upon what terms he will
buy.
But l have neither time nor
space to paint the whole picture.
1t is enough to say that this little
piece of practical deviltry is
chargeable to one of those chaps |
whose right to be in the country is
seriously questioned for the want
of the proper kind of blood in his
veins, but who has wormed his
way in through the facile gateway
of our old citizenship court, of
melancholy memory. And yet so
defective and inadequate
is our Cherokee Jurisprudence that
in all this reprehensible transac-
tion there is nothing that can be
said to be illegal-nothing that our
Cherokee courts of judicature,
speaking within the terms of the
law as interpreted by themselves,
can criticise, except by way OF en-
dorse ment and entire approba-
ton. Too-oUA-sTEE.

IT now transpires that the seat
of John t: Gunter as senator from
this district is to be contested by
T. F. Thompson. Gunter's ma
jority over Thompson was 343.
The National party seated John
Scrimsher, we believe, before the
votes were counted, some years
ago, over w. C. Rogers, and when
the votes were finally counted
Rogers was found to have a ma
jority of about sixty votes, but
Scrimsher had his seat and kept it.
The same tactics may be adopted
again and Gunter may be deprived
of his seat, and the will Of the ma
iority trampled under foot.

If A LAW is passed for the sale
of intruder improvements it should
be SO framed so as to give those
who have no homes a chance to
purchase. Il the monopolists get
a chance at these places very little
good will come Of dispossessing
the claimants. No citizen already
in possession of a ood farm should
be allowedto purchase. Also, some
system of installment payment
should be devised so as to give
the poorer classes of our people an
opportunity to get home.

Fr. SMITH LETTER.
Henry Starr Again COnyicted-A Grim
Joke on Visitors to the Hanging.

The conviction of McElroy, DR..
Bland and others, of Tulsa, was
quite a surprise. The character of
the witnesses was so vastly differ
ent, most of those for the prosecu-
ton being friends and harborers OF
outlaws, and such a strong alibi
having been made out, that an ac-
quittal was looked for. The friends
of the defendants claim that the
conviction is due to perjured wit
nesses and say that the story was
made up by Bill Doolin and other
outlaws to get revenge upon those
who were most active in breaking
up their retreat in the Greek ma
ton.
Again has Henry Starr been con-
victed of murder for killing Floyd
Wilson on Dec. 13, 1892. After be-
ing granted a new trial by the su-
preme court, Starr feared nothing
more than a conviction of man
slaughter. Wilson's friends were
also uncertain of the result and
many thought it would be impos-
sible to secure another conviction.
Starr went on the stand and cor
roborated the most damaging tes-
timony against himself He ad-
mitted that he advanced on Will
son all the time, and was standing
almost over his PROSTATE body
when the fatal shot was fired into
Wilson's breast.
Sunday night, George Mitchell,
a negro boy, started home from
church with his sweetheart, Lu-
cinda Bruce. On the way he shot
her, then himself. Both were
dead in ten minutes. He was an
gry because she had gone driving
in the afternoon with another
fellow.
Col. Bozeman, father of the
young man killed at Pryor Creek
by Cul Rowe last spring, is very
sick in the hospital here and
Rowe's trial has been postponed
until Sept. "a.
A great many came to the city
last week to see Cherokee Bill
hung but were disappointed. The
night guards marched trusty out
TO the gallows and the crowd bit
greedily.

| will end finally In the ultimate
consummation of the desired OBJ
ject-the division of all Indian
land held in common.
That this country is soon to be
allotted is now a settled fact. II
is known to be a fact by those who
oppose it as well as those who
favor it. There are several rea,
sons why this change in land
tenure is to be looked for. One OF
the most potent is that it is the
policy of the United States to
either persuade or force the In
dams of these tribes to divide
their lands. The reason why the
government desires the change in
our system are many and of suf-
ficient magnitude to warrant the
surmise that it will be done soon.
In the first place, the government
is becoming more and more power
less to protect us IN the mainten-
ance of system that is so differ
ent to, that of the states, where
land titles are always vested in the
individual.
The presence of 5000 to 10000
intruders in the country is one of
the fruits of our system of land
tenure. Such a condition would
be impossible if the owners ofland
held it by individual title. The
intruders are here because the land
is held in common and when an
outsider gets on a piece OF land he
is intruding on nobody in particu-
lar, but the whole nation in CON-
mon. The individual Indian citi-
zen cannot protect himself because
he owns no land, save in common
with the whole tribe.
Probably the most difficult kind
of intrusion to manage or to reach
at all is the white non citizen that
is occupying land under permit
from some Cherokee, and hence
under Cherokee protection. A
single citizen Of the Cherokee ma
ton may and in many instances
does harbor twenty-five to fifty
non-citizens by a ten or twenty
year, or maybe a lifetime lease.
1t is plain to see that this whole
sale monopoly can only be broken
up by placing every citizen on his
or her share of the common do
main. In the next place, the gov
ernment is bound under treaty to
protect the citizens of these tribes
against each other, or in other
words to prevent a few citizens
from monopolizing the whole coun-
try. In many instances a white
man marries an Indian woman and
thus becoming an adopted citizen
with a right to hold land, he i'm
mediately proceeds to place every
available member of his family
and a long string of relatives on
homes of their own to all intents
and purposes, so long as the land
is held in common. This is an
evil that can hardly be estimated
Dr limited.

IIADE BOGUS STAMPS
Large Number or Counterfeit
TWoS Have Done Duty
on Letters.
THE FRAUD JUST DISCOVERED
Spurious Stamps Manufac-
tured in Chicago and Sent to
Various Points.

CHICAGO, April 10.-United States
secret service officials in Chicago and
Washington have unearthed probably
the most unique and at the same time
the most important swindle ever perpe-
trated upon any government. It's mag.
nitude. after two days investigation,
can only be guessed at, butit is believed
thousands upon thousands OF dollars
have been secured by gang Of skilled
counterfeiters. who have reproduced
with wonderful skill and accuracy the
pink two cent stamp of commerce.
1t is thought the country is flo oded
from New York to San Francisco with
these spurious stamps, and the United
States has been carrying millions OF
letters from which not one cent of reye-
nue. was received.
Chicago, apparently, has been the
headquarters of the gang, and it's prod.
uct has been shipped to distributing
agents through the express companies.
just how the information reached the
government officials is not known. But
they evidently got straight tip, for
last evening Captain Stuart of the
postal inspectors department and Cap.
tain Porter of the United States secret
service bureau called at the Wells
Fargo Office. They were taken to the
store room and there found an oblong
package, looking like roll of music.
1t contained 10000 Of the counterfeit
stamps
