Married His Daughter.

GREEN BAY, Wis, Jan. 49,
Henry Webster, aged 60, an Indian
of the Oneida reservation, has
been arrested by Deputy Marshal
Buckley on charge of marrying
his 16--year-.old daughter,
Christiane. At his preliminary
examination the Indian was bound
over without hail for trial in the
United States district court at
Milwaukee, now in session. The
penalty for such a crime under
the federal laws is death. Webster
does not deny having married the
girl, but sets up in defense that
the laws of the Oneida Nation
allow it. Consequently, he being
an Indian of the tribe and under
its laws, acted right. The
announcement of such a law by
him was a surprise, but some of
the other members say there is a
traditional law of the Nation to
that fleet. However, Webster is
an intelligent Indian, and would
be taken to he a we'll educated
white man. His neck is in danger.

What is known as the Senate
Teller bill has passed the House to
amend the law creating the Federal

poses to divide the Indian Territory

Judicial districts, and sub-divide the
Southern district into three divisiOns
with one assistant U. s. District a.
torney and three depu ty clerks, with
courts at Chickasha, Ardmore and

for not more Than five Commissioners
to act AS Justices of the peace and
Notary Publics in each division
Indian citizens, both by blood and.
marriage, are to be eligible to serve on
petit and grand juries the same as
citizens of the U. 8. This bill passed
the Senate at It's last session, and
although amended in the House, lie
totally inadequate to now meet the
emergencies in the Indian Country
What is called the Maddox bill meets
more thoroughly the demands of that
country at this time and it is mcst
likely If any bill is passed at this
session the Maddox bill will be. sub
stitnted, to q very great extent No
territorial bill for the five civilized

may become a law. The vicious
