Stock lmpOunded.

The Muskogee Times says: A
couple of ponies belonging to the
Dawes commission were taken up
last night on Cherokee street and
impounded by the city officials.
This morning Colonel Aylesworth
sent a written protest to the mayor
against the impounding of the
ponies, stating that it was his be-
lief they had been taken from the
corral and then impounded. The
police, however, denied the impu-
tation, claiming the horses were
found at large on the streets, and
insisting that the penalty be paid. +"
And the police were eminently
correct. If Uncle Sam violates the
city laws of Muskogee or any
other town he should be held re-
sponsiDle as much as the one gal
fused man With load of water
melons.
