ITO Grover Cleveland. President of
the United States: Hoke Smith, Secre-
tary of the Interior, and the members
OF Fifty-fourth Congress of the United

Calling your attention TO the nu-

adjacent to said Territory. we, the
undersigned mothers, wives, daugh-
tiers and sisters Of Wichita county.
Texas, appeal to you for protection
for Jul sons, fathers, husbands. broth
crs and selves from the said outlaws.
1--WE believe that as long as the
present state of affairs exist in the
Indian Territory the people who live
around its borders will be in danger
and subject to attacks by these crim-
inals and outlaws. The Indian Ter
ritory is a government nursery and
resort for criminals. and we petition
you (our representatives, who are in
power for the relief from them. This
relief we earnestly pray and petit
ton for, and il a only he given
us by the settlement Of the
territory by civilized people. II is
useless to look to the officials of the
states adjoining the territory for pro-
lection or relief, as we well know
that the Federal government and it
only has sole jurisdiction. Should
this appeal to you who are empowered
with authority to act and protect the
lives. property, interest and reputa-
ton OF those you represent reach you
and You fail To grant this petition,
YOU will be held responsible by both
Goo and man for any further crimes
committed by the murderers and rob.
bers who inhabit the Indian Territory.
