with any order of the court relating to
the payment thereof, or the consumma-
ton of the purchase, then the sums in
cash or bonds deposited by said pur-
chaser or purchasers shall be forfeited as
a penalty for such failure or omission
and shall be applied toward the expense
of resale and toward making good any
deficiency or loss in case the property
shall be sold for less price upon such
resale.
So much of the purchase price shall be
paid in cash as the court, on confirma-
ton of the sale, shall order. The bal
ance of the purchase price may either be
paid in cash or the purchaser may satisfy
and make good the balance of his bid, in

The purchaser or purchasers at said
sale, his or their successors or assigns,

livery of the Special Masters deed, as in
said decree provided, to elect which, if
vi lhC AOdoC anu COHlldOlS SCAu cS

said, such purchaser or purchasers, his
or their representatives or assigns, de-
sires to assume and accept, and shall be
held not to have assumed any of said
leases or contracts which he or they
shall not elect to assume nd accept.
Until payment in cash or bonds of the
entire purchase price, the purchaser will
not be entitled to the possession of the
mortgaged property sold, or the delivery
of the Special Masters deed.
The court reserves the right to resell
the property upon such notice as the
court shall direct, in case the purchaser
shall fail or omit to make any payment
on account of the purchase price.

PARTIES and Leaders,.

One peculiarly of Cherokee pol
itics is the absence of leader in
either OF the parties. 1t is true
that some pose as the first men,
but when the time comes for act.
ion upon any vital question the
advice of no one man is taken;
there is an absolute lack of conf
dence, and this accounts for the
variety OF schemes, wild cat poll.
cies that obtain among the people.
Unity of action is always an index
that points to a directing inhu.
ence.
The Ketoowahs seem to be the
most influential organization in the
Cherokee nation, and, perhaps,
exerts a wider and deeper power
than both of the other parties com.
bined, and this fact will be fully
proven before this session of the
national council expires. The
stand taken by the full bloods in
connection with our foreign rela-
tions is significant of the power
welded by that body of men. Their
united action is cot, however, the
result of leadership on the part of
any individual, but rather the con-
sequence of knowing that the
rights of the people and of the ma
tion are in dangerous condition.
As a matter of fact neither the
National nor the Downing parties
have a single man to whom they
may look for counsel and direc-
ton. Mr.. Mayes recommends one
thing in his annual message to the
national council, but the recon-
mendations amount to nothing, for
he is not supported by the rank
and file of his party. In fact, Mr..
Wash Swimmer, the assistant
chief, is vigorous opponent of
many of the views entertained by
the head of the Downing party.
Other prominent men are more or
less independent in thought con-
cerning many of the questions of
paramount importance to theCher-
okee nation.
In the National party, however,
we find something of an organiza-
ton headed by not one man, but
by several. They are not leaders
in the sense that they mould and
direct the sentiment of the party,
but by force of circumstances they
represent the views of a large per-
centage OF the full blood element
of the Cherokee nation. In other
words, they are simply in sympa-
thy with the policy that seeks to
preserve to Cherokees their insti-
tutions as they now exist.
There is to-day no pronounced
individuality in the Cherokee ma
ton like that of lsparhecher of the
Creeks. Joel B. Mayes and E. G.
Boudinot were men capable of cre-
ating sentiment, and men to who m
the people could look for couns ell
with the satisfaction of knowing
that it came from minds of deep
insight. Since their deaths no on
has appeared upon the field OF
Cherokee politics capable of tax
ing the places made vacant, and,
perhaps, never will as long as this
nation survives.-ArrOW

Hooley Sixkiller, of Chouteau, OBJ
tained license from Deputy Clerk
Anderson on the Sth inst. to marry a
Miss Ruddick, who, her father says,
was only fourteen years old. The IA
ther proposes to prosecute the parties
who represented that his daughter
was Of marriageable age.
The Creek chief was too strong for
his adYersaries and the impeachment
charges went down with very "dull
thud." Council, after a drunken de-
bauch, adjourned In disgust, last
week, but was reconvened for the
11nd, when Isparhecher proposes to go
forward with his wild cat scheme Of
forming an Indian state.
Rev. ]. E. Wick has compiled year
book and history of the NJ. f. church
tSouth) Of Chelsea, an example which
might be profitably followed by pas
tors elsewhere throughout the coun-
try. A history Of the Vinita church
since its organization would be re-
ceived by many of its members with
pleasure.
Vinita's business and Vinita's mer-
chants are heard Of from one end of
the Indian Territory to the other and
their methods are commented upon
and sought to be initiated. Having
no paper like The CHIEFTAIN at
their disposal, the results are not
likely to meet with the success which
cur Vinita folks enjoy.
Burrel Cox, charged with forgery in
connection with the Creek warrant
affair, escaped from the officers here
Saturday night. The court had fixed
his bond at SIS, 900, and twenty-four
hours was given in which to arrange
the bond. Shortly after dark, Cox
walked away from Marion Maddox, in
whose care he had been placed tempo
rarily by Deputy Williamson. He
was recaptured next day at Tulsa and
is now in custody.

II SHOOTING affray occurred at
N N0wata Saturday between the
Arkansas town marshal, Geo.
Goodell, and Johnson Push and his
half brother, Willie Hickey, the latter
acting as a Cherokee town marshal,
both the latter being killed. This
killing is primarily the outgrowth of
the trouble between the two city
governments. Some weeks ago Push
was locked up by Goodell for being
drunk; Goodell claims, but is unsup-
ported that the two brothers tried to
waylay him the night before. Satur-
day morning he disarmed Hickey and
while taking him to the calaboose the
latter ran away and was shot at twice.
Goodell then got horse and when he
got With n a short distance of Hickey
the latter turned back to meet him
and was ruthlessly shot down, un-
armed. johnson Push learning Of his
brothers misfortune got out of
bed and came up town, where
he was met by Goodell, who shot him
four times, the last after he had fallen
and was begging for mercy, in the
same room where his brother was dy-
ing. Goodell spent the day and night
In town and next day was taken be-
fore the court at Wagner and re-
manded to jail. The case is most
brutal one and the prisoners conduct
is denounced by all the best people of
the town.

NUDGE THOMAS went out On
O the street in person in this city
last Saturday and notified the men
running spindle games that if they
did not stop at once he would send a
marshal and have them arrested. One
fellow was just fixing up his appara-
tus, and, when accosted by the judge,
remarked: partner, / amt begun
yet. Judge Thomas turned and looked
at the man hard and said:''Look here,
l am no partner of yours: if you un-
dertake to run that thing, / will have
you arrested"

IA SUBSCRIPTION list was start

H SUBSCRIPTION list was start
N ed on the streets here this week
for raising money to in some measure
remunerate Deputy Marshal Bud Led
better for following and capturing
Brooks, the negro rapist. This move
is worthy one, and it should not
take long to raise a good SUM. Led
better followed his man persistently
and captured and landed him in
Jail to await trial and conviction or
acquittal by jury Of his countrymen.
Lynch law will find few advocates in
country where men are so promptly
followed and arrested when a crime is
committed. When Brooks is placed
on trial as he ultimately will be the
verdict Of a jury alone should deter
mine his guilt or innocence. And
there can be no better evidence
against him or any other rapist than
the testimony of the woman out
