in full which is as follows:
WICHITA FALLS, WICHITA Co, Tex,
March iO.-An open letter tothe peo-
pie OF Texas, Arkansas, Missouri and
Oklahoma: Another bank robbery,
more men killed, women outraged,
more trains held up and robbed, etc,
will be the newspaper reports from
time to time until the Indian Terri
tory is opened up to settlement by
the farmer civilization and the plow

Referring to the many murders
and robberies committed by the out
laws OF tie Indian Territory, which
is a nursery for criminals fostered
by the federal government, we be-
lieve so long as the present state q
affairs exist in the territory the law
abiding citizens OF said states win be
3 subiect to repetition OF such acts OF
violence as herein before mentioned.
I In justice TO the law-abiding citi-
zens Of the southwestern states IL is
proper TO state that the blame should
be placed where Il belongs, to wit,
on the federal government for main
tanning as il does n resort for fugi-
tives from justice. Considering the
above fact We respectfully request
all : Cd rI.izens OF the above named
states use their influence with
their member Of congress to givJ US
relief q protection by voting and
work kiHs f's the settlement OF the In
dian Territory.
To this end we therefore sugges
and urgently solicit that all minis
ters Of the gospel OF the states here

1896, present TO their congregations
she true state OF affairs as they now
'xist in the Indian Territory, calling
their attention 10 the enormity Of the
crimes committed by those outlaws.
We would further suggest that on
Monday, March IS, lsa6, that the
citizens Of each town OF the states
named call a mass meeting ana pc
tition their members Of congress 20
take immediate action on the open
ing Of the Indian Territory TO settle

aid meetings form permanent or
ganizations for the purpose Of con-
tinuing this work until the object Is
accomplished, TO wit, the settle

our thanks 20 the Texas state papers
