The report has reached ST. Louis from
Chelsea, l. T., that the Keetowa Society,
an organization among the Cherokee full
blood Indians, has threatened personal
damage to the members of the Cherokee
commission should they enter an agree
ment with the Dawes commission looking
to the destruction of the tribal govern

keetowa, which is a powerful organiza-

but that they should openly make threats
causes much surprise.
