FENCE LAW NEEDED.

A subject to which the attention
of congress should be cited as soon
as possible, is that of fences in the
Indian Territory. At present the
country is practically without a
fence law, and vast areas are
fenced up with one, two and three
wires, and the depredations of
stock in some sections has been
the cause of untold trouble and
criminal prosecutions, as well as
civil suits growing out OF the lack
of an adequate law, are growing
numerous. The range is practi-
cally thing of the past-that is,
the vast stretches OF unfenced grass
land is no longer to be seen. The
cattle business from now on will
doubtless be confined to fenced
pastures and limited herds. The
farmer in the prairie country
should not be required TO fence
against hogs. as timber and fenc-
ing material is scarce and in fact
not to be had for love nor money.
The man who depends upon till
ing the soil should not be required
to invest all his earnings in fence
to protect his crops against the
man who is herdsman only. And
on the other hand the man who is
trying to handle stock should not
be forced to keep his stock out Of
the crops of the man who has not
a sufficient fence. 1t is to be
hoped that the attention Of con-
gress will be called to this matter,
and that some legislation along
this line will be forthcoming.

THE DAILY CHIEFTAIN

Monday this Office began the pub.
lication of THE DAILY CHIEFTAIN.
The apology for this advance step
in newspaper work in Vinita is
that the population and business
interests of the place indicate the
necessity for the printing of the
social and industrial events trans.
piring in our midst oftener than
once in seven days. Three thou.
sand or more wide-awake, pro-
gressive people being within the
municipal bounds of a town noted
at home and abroad for its business
activity and general intelligence,
naturally come TO demand the pub
licstion of a daily newspaper that
will in some degree reflect the
charact er of the town.
The weekly INDIAN CHIEFTAIN
will be continued without change
other than that it will contain
more news than formerly, as it
will have the advantage of the
daily news service.

CHEROKEEs TAKING COURAGE

A number of Cherokee citizens
were discussing matters pertaining
to tribal interests on the street
yesterday, and without one dis
senting voice all were of the opin-
ion that the Cherokees are really
fortunate in having their courts
abolis he'd, and are saved the enor-
NOUS expense of maintaining
them. Three years ago the judi
cial expenses of two of the smaller
districts in the Cherokee nation
amounted TO over $4,000, and
when the expenses of the whole
nine districts is added it became
alarming. As this chief item of
expense is eliminated there is no
good reason why the Cherokee
national debt of over 5000, 200
should not be soon liquidated i,

The offer has been made by cer-
tain attorneys to secure the pay
ment of outstanding Cherokee war
rants for a fee of five per centum.
This is a large fee, and we believe
an unnecessary one, as there are
ample Cherokee funds held by the
government to cover the indebted.
ness of the nation many times

holding Cherokee securities in the
form of national certificates and

THE question of the legality of
the incorporation of towns under
the Arkansas statutes in force in
this country, was touched upon
today, incidentally, by Judge
Thomas. His honor seems TO take
the position that such incorpora-
tions are without authority of law,
and that officers acting under such
charter are not warranted in tax
ing extreme measures in admins
tering the law.

LEGAL MATTERS IN GENERAL.

LEGAL MATTERS IN GENERAL.
In passing upon a motion IN the
administrator case of the estate of
the late Joseph Burns, Tuesday
Judge Thomas held that the Curtis
law making it a misdemeanor for
a Cherokee citizen to be in posses
sion of more land than a pro rata
share, after the first of next April
was unconstitutional, inasmuch as
it was a virtual confscation of
property without due process of
law.
The case against Mrs. Della
Thurman, of Claremore, indicted
by the grand jury last winter for
employing a non-citizen clerk, was
dismissed by the court Tuesday
for want of Jurisdiction. The
court held that in the absence of a
specific statute making the act OF
bring citizen labor by Cher
okee citizen a misdemeanor the
defendant could not be held for
trial. The purport of the court S
decision seems to be that the tribal
law sought to be enforced should
first be adopted, or re-enacted by
congress, or else it could not be
administered by the federal courts

MANY residents of Vinita are
not veiy well acquainted with the
names of all the streets and ave-
nues. II should be remembered
that the avenues all run east and
west, are 100 feet in width, and
are named from the districts of
the Cherokee nation. There are
six avenues as follows beginning
at the south, Delaware, Canadian,
Illinois, Flint, Sequoyah and Tah-
lequah. The streets are so feet in
width except those fronting the
railroads, and are named for prom
inent Cherokee families. There
are twelve streets in the original
survey as follows. beginning at the
west: Ross, Adair, Brown, Brew
er, Foreman, Gunter, Miller,
Smith, Thompson, Scraper, Will
son and Vann. In addition on the
east side of the Katy track there
are five unnamed streets.
