One day last summer sour visaged,
middle aged. fussy woman got on one
of the smoking seats in an open car
in the subway. Next to her sat man
who was smoking cigar. More than
that, the woman, shifting, easily made
out that the man had been eating on
ions. Still more than that, she had
the strongest kind Of suspicion that he
had been drinking beer. The woman
fused and wriggled and grew angrier
and looked at the man scornfully.
Presently she could endure 1t no Ion
ger. She looked squarely at him and
said:
"lf you were my husband, sir, I'd
give you dose of poisonw
The man looked at her. IF 1 were
your husband" said he, 'I'd take itis

Rock Rapids, Ia, June "a severe
storm of cyclonic nature passed over
Rock Rapids Saturday night in north
easterly direction. About six miles
northeast of town it dipped down to
earth, gathering dirt, leaves, straw
and fences and threw them high into
the air. The storm took a zigzag course
TO the westward for half mile, then
turned eastward and picked up the
Henry llemple house, occupied by
AdOlph Juergensen and family, seven
in all; turned il bottom upward and
entirely demolished it. The family
was at supper when the storm struck,
and had no notice of the monster until
they were flying in the air. Heavy rain
accompanied the storm and helped eN-
tinguish the fire that started from the
stove. The family miraculously escaped
with only few painful bruises. The
oldest girl had her dress burned nearly
off, The storm scooped up earth in
several places as it passed on north
into Minnesota. The path was only a
few rods wide.

superseded in any way, butg goes on
the same as if no appeal were
taken. What may be the rights OF
the defendants in case the judg-
ment should be reversed l will de-
termine when it comes, if it ever
comes about. | am, therefore, Of
the opinion that while section A.
with reference to the conditions
that existed, may be construed to-
cover this sale yet, in light of the
facts that appear Of record, and q
fact of which this court will take
judicial knowledge, namely, the
date OF the passage Of the Curtis
act and the date of the sale,
which is not denied, the defendants

provements to Fisk at the time
the sale was made, and that he ac-
quired no right by virtue of that
sale.
Council for defendants have re-
ferred to another fact to which ret
erence should be made. They ask
why congress has not given the
sheriff of the Cherokee nation the
right to eject by force persons who
have been decided to be intruders
without the formality of proceed
ing in ejectment?
That question seems to imply
that the United States had placed
these defendents in the position
of innocent purchasers for value,
and that they stand in the same
situation that the owner Of land
would stand whose land had been
sold for taxes; that he could take
advantage of all Irregularities.
That is not the rule. Under the
treaty between the United States
and the Cherokee nation OF March
8. 1893, known as the "strip agree
ment," /" it is now the duty of the
United States to expel the intru-
ders from the whole Indian Ter
ritory. Not only from the places
they occupy, and without Judicial
proceeding, but should ejoct them
from the whole territory. That is
what the government agreed to do

Northern district Of the Indian
Territory, sitting at vinita, Jan

Charles Brown and Ben Gaus,
PLAINTIFF, vs.. William January,
Josephine January, ct al, No. 767.
On the demurrer to the answer
Of VIM. A. January and Josephine
January, and w. A, Fisk, who has
been made party.
Springer, Judge.-There are two
questions, | believe, raised in this
demurrer that have not been pass
ed upon in other cases pending In
this coprt.
First. The first question not
raised in other cases is that by the
answer in this case it is alleged
that the plaintiff Ben Gaus is a
fictitious person, and for the pur-
pose of this demurrer that allega-
ton must be taken as admitted.
On this ground the defendants in
sist that the demurrer should be
overruled. The amended COM
plant TO which the answer, has
been filed is the one in which
the Cherokee nation appears and
is made party plaintiff, and then
the complaint proceeds by stating:
"comes now the plaintiffs and
complain" etc. So that, if it
sould appear that Ben Gaus, is a
fictitious person, the only party.in
interest in the Cherokee. nation,
and the question then would be as
to whether if that should be fact
under the evidence, the Cherokee
nation would have the right to re-
cover. l am Of the opinion that if
there were no plaintiff other than
the Cherokee nation, the nation
would have the right to recover,
all other things being established
necessary. In other words, il
there is no other plaintiff here ex-
cept the Cherokee nation, that is
enough upon which to base cause
of action. Therefore, this ground
OF objection is not well taken.
| believe there is another objec-
tion as to the irregularity Of the
bidding at the sale as to whom the
sale was made by the sheriff. |
think the opinion of the court in
other cases has sufficiently ex-
planned the matter, and that the
opinion goes to the effect that this
is defect, il it be one of which
the defendant in this case cannot
take advantage. The only point
made by the defendants in this
case which requires consideration
is, that under section four of the
Curtis bill, these defendants had
the right to dispose of their i'm
provements prior to December 81,
1898, and having alleged in their
answer that they had SO disposed
Of them, that the the title went to
their vendee, w. A. Fisk, who
would therefore be entitled to the
premises in controversy.
Section 4 OF the Curtis act is as
follows:
Sec. 4. "That all persons who
have heretofore made improve
ments on lands belonging to any
one of the said tribes of Indians,
claiming rights of citizenship,
whose claims have been decided
adversely under the act Of con-
gress approved June 10, 1896,
shall have possession thereof un-
til and including December 81,
1898, and may prior to that time
sall or dispose OF the same to any
member Of the tribe owning the

in his allotment; Provided" etc.
A proviso then follows.

called attention to the TACT that
there is but one exception set forth
to this provision, and that is con-
tained in the proviso, which will
read:
THAT this section shall not ap.
ply to improvements which have
been appraised and paid for, or
payment rendered by the Chero-
kee nation under the agreement
with the United States approved
by congress March 3, 1898"
There being no other exception
counsel insists that all other ex-
eeptions are excluded, and that
these defendants stand on the pro-
Visions contained in the first SEN
tence Of the section.
The condition of these defend
ants and their right to sell grows
out Of the provisions OF the Curtis
act which was approved on June
2S, 1898. This right, if it be
right to dispose of this property,
did not exist under the provisions
OF any law until the passage of the
Curtis act. At the time that bill
became a law, under the operation
of the laws of the Cherokee ma
ton, the right of these claimants
10 these particular improvements
had been passed upon by the
courts in the adjudication of the
question of the citizenship ofthese
parties, and had been ruled ad-
versely to them prior to the pass
age of this act. The Cherokee
nation, under the laws as they
then existed, was the owner of
these Improvements, and sold
them through their officers. The
only question here is as to whether
the vendees of the sherifl's sale,
under the laws of the Cherokee
nation, took the title of the Cher
okee nation to the extent of the
right Of occupancy Of these prem
ises. In my opinion, that right Of
occupancy passed at that sale, and
that there was no law of congress
prohibiting it to be made, and the
rights of the vendees of the Cher
okee nation then vested in the
premises. That prior to that sale
the property did not belong to
these defendants, nor to their ven-
dees who came in afterwards, but
that the property at that time be-
longed to the Cherokee nation,
and that the Cherokee nation dis
posed of it in its own way, accord
ing to its own law, and through its
own officers; and that the title
passed to the vendees of the ma
ton. Any rights that these defend
ants may have had to hold these
i'm mprovements had entirely been
eliminated and disposed of. They
had no right, title or interest to
the property at that time, when
it is alleged that Fisk purchased
these improvements. As | stated
in my opinion Of day before yes
terday, the right of these defend
ants to hold property in the Cher
okee nation depended upon their
right to be enrolled as citizens Of
the nation, and when that right
was adjudicated adversely to them,
it followed as a necessary conse-
quence of that judgment, thatthey
had been trespassers from the be-
ginning, that they never were citi-
zens Of the nation, and that their
holdings had been illegal from the
beginning; that they had a day in
court, and they had their claim to
citizenship adjudicated That was
their day in court. They had their
