Our City Park Case.

The park case, in which the right OF
the Cherokee nation to survey and sell
the public parks Of the town was at
issue, came up in the appellate court
at South McAlester last week, and the
injunction granted by Judge Springer
to prevent parties whJ had purchased
lots in the parks from occupying them
was made permanent. The history of
this case is about as follows: The
Cherokee nation by act Of council
caused certain towns to be suryed and
plated, with streets, alleys and public
parks reserved. In this town all the
lots were disposed OF by the town
commission, and year or two ago the
council passed an act providing for
the sale of the public parks, and they
were accordingly surveyed into lots
and sold by the town commissioner Of
the Cherokee nation. All the lots
thus were purchased aggregating
something over 2O,O0O. Jas. S. Dayen-
port one of the purchasers attempted
to fence and build upon the lot pur-
chased by him, whereupOn the town
asked an Injunction to prevent him
from occupying a portion of the public
park. Judge Springer granted the in
junction and Davenport appealed the
case to the appellate court of the
Territory where the decree of the
lower court was affirmed.
