Last Saturday night at $50, on the
dimly lighted streets of Ardmore,
there was a poor, pitiful looking
man wandering his weary way along
the south side of Main street, look
ing as though he had been done an
injustice by some one. The bystand-
ers on the street watched him for
several minutes and at last there was
one sympathizer among the lockers
on who had a tender heart, he ap-
preached the poor old man and said,
friend what can do for you? you
look as though you are in trouble,
the poor man looked up and said

at the depot yesterday. He was on
his way from Caddo, 1. T., to Sher-

matters, and especially about the
openng up of the Indian lands, ne
said:
Il find that there is considerable
opposition to opening the lands, bat
some of the people favor it. The prin-
cipaI objection to it will come from
those people who want an Office, and
feel that if the lands are opened they
will not lave that opportunity. / am
sure thai the opening of the
lands viii GENE sooner or later,
and il might as we'll come now as any
time.
How Is the political situation in
the Choctaw Nati"n:"
