Work of the Commissions
Now at Muskogee.

Matters pertaining to a treaty
with the Dawes commission by
the Cherokees is fast reaching
climax. The seven Cherokee
commissioners are practically
unit in their demands, and the
Dawes people are inclined to yield
every point consistent with their
sense OF justice. The prevailing
sentiment is that the plan to cut
the Cherokee freedmen down to 40
acres each is perfectly feasible,
and not in violation of the treaty
of 1866. Attorney W. t. Hutch
ings made an argument before
the two commissions yesterday, in
which he maintained that it was
optional as to how much land the
freedmen should get. The Dawes
commission will investigate the
matter fully and decide as to
whether they will agree to the
plan or not.
There seems to be unity of
sentiment as to the white adopted
citizens. The proposition is that
they share equally with Cherokees
in the land, but be required to pay
something like s1.25 per acre.
There is some difference OF
opinion between the two commits
sions as to the best method of al.
lotnent of land. The Cherokees
propose to grade the land into four
grades and set value upon 1t and
divide it equally as to acres, and
to add to the land the entire funds
of the nation as assets and make
up the difference in the value oi
the land in cash. The Dawes
commission have not agreed to
the proposition yet, but think that
each allottee should take a pro-
portionate share of the different
grades of land, which would ne.
cessitate taking it in different To-
calities and not in body. There
is probably no phase of the subject
that has not been fully discussed
and on great many leading fea
lures an agreement seems to have
been reached already.

TO THE PEN FOR LIFE.
The Sad Case of Howell
Cobb.

The theory on which criminal
law is founded is not revenge upon
the cenvict for the offense commit
ted, hut the safeguarding of socie-
ty. Howell Cobb was a pleasant
faced and pleasant-mannered
young Cherokee, kown in almost
every town in the nation, and later
in the Indian Territory and por-
tions of Texas. Instead of grow
ing up in the paths of usefulness,
he sought the companionship of
idlers. became gambler, and now
has just gone to The penitentiary-
for life. What a terrible example,
at his expense, for the young OF
Vinita, where he was well known,
and every other town. His
victim was colored man, possi-
bly, one with whom he had had no
quarrel-certainly poor compen-
sation for a life of penal servitude.
And there are a dozen boys in
Vinita who are travelling the same
road which lead to the destruction
of Howell Cobb. Little-nothing
in fact--can be said in apology
for this young man. Some
years ago he killed a man at Ft.
Worth. That man was of the same
class to which be belonged, how.
ever, and possibly the world was
well rid of him.

Fate seemed some years ago
with astonishing frequency to have
Howell Cobb at hand when there
was a fire and a more efficient
man at such time there never
was. He has helped save three
or four buildings in vinita, in one
of which was The CHIEFTAIN of
fee, and at the burning ofthe Fe-
male seminary at Tahlequah rem
dered more aid than any half-doz-
en- persons present.

DISLOYAL CITIZENS
Spanish-Speaking Arizonans Are
Making Themselves Disliked

PHOENIX, Ariz., April ga mass
meeting of citizens, to take action looking
toward the suppression of all acts of dis
loyalty, was held at the court house at
10 o'clock this morning. The meeting was
called on account of the recent acts of
Spanish speaking residents in denouncng
the United States government and insult
ing the flag.
Edwin S. Gill presided, and committee
of eleven was appointed to draft plan
looking to the organizing of a committee
of safety. This committee will deal prompt
ly and efficaciousy with all cases of trea-
son called to it's attention. A small por-
ton of the Spanish-speaking people has
been very bold within the last week and
the temper of the meeting this morning
indicated that notice to leave the country
would soon be served on quite a number of
the more prominent disloyal residents.
Any failure to obey such order will result
in very vigorous action.
Another meeting will be held at o'clock
tonight at which the executive committee
will report plan of action. The people of
Phoenix are thoroughly aroused on the
subject of loyalty to the flag and will not
tolerate any disloyalty.

CROPS.

In the valley of the Little Colorado
harvesting is finished and haying is
in season. Rains in that section have
assured a good crop of corn, sugar cane
is reported extra heavy and the ranges
are in fine condition.
Threshing is nearly finished in the
upper ella valley and reports Indicate
an abundant yield. In the mountain
regions, the maturing of crops and
fruit is later than in regions of lower
altitude, but corn, melons and fruit,
with the exception of peaches are
growing under favorable conditions.
Insufficient rains are reported from
Maricopa county but the rains of the
past three days, which are believed to
extend the greater portion of Salt
River valley, will refresh vegetation
and produce conditions more favorable
for the next crop of alfalfa.
There is no apparent diminUtion of
water for irrigation purposes, the
showers and rain in the mountains
affor1ing an abundant supply. The
conditions have materially changed for
the better since the rains of the latter
part of the week and the reports from
Navajo county are of the most assur-
ing order.
