Warns or Hunters.

Major A. 2. Woodson, acting
agent for the Cheyenne and Arap-
ahoe Indians, has given legal
notice that he will prosecute all
persons found hunting on the lands
under the Darlington agency. The
United States statutes provide for
the confscation of all guns, ammu-
milton, etc., aud further penalty
of $500. The territorial law pro-
hibits hunting on the premises of
another without permission, with
fine from S25 to 800. Major
Woodson says: "The practice of
hunting on such lands has become
so common, resulting IN the tear
ing down OF fences, In the starting
of prairie fires and sometimes in
the loss of stock belonging to In
dians, that a strict enforcement of
these statutes is called for at the
hands of the agent"

general consent, accepting the
provisions of the Curtis law. 1t is
generally understood that the
Choctaws and Chickasaws will
raise the question as to the rights
of the white men who have mar
ried into the nation, to allotments
of land, the same as members of
the tribe. And the act of July /,
last, provides for thedisposition of
such cases by the federal courts,
and grants the nations authority
to carry the cases to the supreme
court. So it is apparent that the
legal fraternity will receive vast
amount of business from the vari-

FOR ROBBING THE MAILS.
The Son of Nowata's Postmaster Un.
der Arrest.

The 18.year-old son of Postmas-
ter Bowers, of Nowata, I. T., "a
miles south Of Coffeyville, was ar
rested Tuesday forenoon by Post
office Inspector Houck, of Fort
Smith, Ark, on the charge of rob-
bing the United States mails.
Young Bowers has been sus-
pected of missdeeds along this
line tor some time. Complaints
have been made, but specific evil
dence has always been wanting.
Finally, Postoffice Inspector Houck
decided to set trap to test the
young mans honesty. Mr.. Houck
was in Coffeyville Monday ana
mailed letter to Alluwe, l. 7.
The mail for this place passes
through the Nowata Office, where
il is sorted and then carried by
stage to Alluwe. Mr.. Houck put
several bills in this letter and
marked them SO they could be
easily identified, and wrote
money" on the envelope.
The letter went TO Nowata
Tuesday morning and Mr..
Houck also went down on the
same train. At Nowata he waited
for the Alluwe mail hack and
when it started out he boarded it.
1t had gone but a short distance
from Nowata when he opened the
Alluwe mail pouch and found that
the letter, on the envelope OF
which he had marked money"
was not there. He then knew that
it had been opened and stolen in
The Nowata postoffice. He return
cd at once to Nowata and placed
young Bowers under arrest. The

COurt Notes.

The trial of march, Chish olm, a
Creek Indian, for the killing of
Caesar Wolf, another Creek In
dian, six miles west of Wagner
last March, is now in progress in
the United States court at this
place. The evidence in the case
is wholly circumstantial, the pros
ecution relying principally on the
the fact that the defendant and
Tom Atkins, who is also charged
with being implicated in the mur-
der, were seen with Wolf a short
time before he was supposed to
have been killed. Wolf had killed
another Indian in the southern
part of the nation a short time be-
fore he was killed, and was scout
ing from the friends of his victim
at the time. Chisholm and At
kins claim that Wolf left them
just after they crossed the ferry
where they were last seen togeth-
err and that they did not see him
again until after his body was
found.
In the United States court Tues
day Judge Thomas practically rul-
ed that the Curtis bill would be
the law of the Indian Territory
unless changed by congress. A
Greek Indian sought to obtain his
liberty Qnthe ground that he was
charged with committing crime
against another Creek Indian, and
that congress had no constitution
al right to give the United States
courts jurisdiction in such cases.
Judge Thomas however, held that
congress had complete control of
the political rights of the Indians,
and its acts regulating those rights
were constitutional. The prison
er's application was therefore de-

undeniable and positive. He was
taken to Muskogee, where he

May Keep 500 Acres.

Ardmore, l. t., Nov. 30.-The
Dawes commission has finished
reviewing the Chickasaw enroll
ment. at Ardmore, and has gone
to the Choctaw nation. Major Nc
Kennon said that while only 240
acres of land will be allotted each
citizen at first, those who hold
large tracts will be compelled to
give up only enough to reduce
their holdings to about 500 acres,
which is about what each citizen
will finally be given. The allot-
ment is made 240 acres at first, so
as to insure a margin of safety.

To the Creeks and Cherokees.

The refusal of the Creek nation
to ratify the treaty with the Dawes
commission is looked upon here as
the first step toward a long drawn
out legal battle between the nation
and the United States government.
In other words the general belief
here is that the nation intends to
test the constitutionality of the
Curtis law. And pending final
decision the enforcement OF the
law in the Creek nation may be
held in allegiance. The first step
will probably be instituted in the
federal courts in the territory over
some minor question, and the case
appealed to the supreme court of
the United States, when the whole
question will be raised and the
constitutionality of the act at
tackled.
The Creek nation is the only
tribe in the territory in position
to attack the constitutionality of
this law, and resist its enforce
ment. True, the Cherokees have
not yet entered into treaty stipula-
tions with the Dawes commission,
but there is a general understand
ing that this will be done at the
earliest possible date, the leaders
having already expressed their
willingness to enter into such. an
agreement. The Choctaws, Chick
asaws and Seminoles have already
ratified the agreements, thus, by

when people do not know their place,

Hagar was an assistant in that house
hold, but she wanted to rule
there. She ridiculed and jeered until
her son, Ishmael, got the same tricks.
She dashed out her happiness and
threw Sarah into great fret, and if
abe had stayed much longer in that
household she would have upset calm
equilibrium. Ny friends,
one-half Of the trouble in the world to-
day comes from the fact that people do
not know their place, or, finding their
place, will not stay in it. When we
come into the world there is always a
place ready for us. A place for Abra-
ham. A place for Sarah. A place for
Hagar. A place for Ishmael. A place
for you and q place for me.
Our first duty is to find our sphere;
our second il to keep it. We may be
born in sphere far Off from the one
for which God finally intends u.s. Six
tus v. was born On the low ground,
and was a swineherd; God called him
up to wave . scepter. Ferguson spent
his early days in looking after sheep;
God called him up to look after stars,
and DO aShepherd watching the hoc!ks
of light on the hillsides OF Heaven.
Hogarth began by engraving pewter
pots; God raised him to stand in the
chanted realm Of q painter The shoe-
makers bench held bloomfield for .
little while: but God raised him to sit
in the chair of philosopher and Chris
tian scholar. The soap boiler of Lon
don could not keep his son in that busi-
ness, for God had decided that Hawley
was to be one of the greatest astrono-
mers of England.
On the other hand we may be born
in a sphere little higher than that
for which God intends us. We may be
born in castle, and play in costly
conservatory and feed high bred point
ers, and angle for goldfish in artificial
ponds, and be familiar with princes;
yet God may better have fitted us for a
carpenter shop, Or dentists forceps, or
q weaver's shuttle, or blacksmith's
forge. The great thing is to find
just the sphere for which God
intended us, and then to occupy
that sphere, and occupy it for
ever. Here is man God fash
Toned to make a plow. There is man
God fashioned to make constitution.
The man who makes the plow is just
as honorable as the man who makes
