April 10Th IS day universally
observed throughout the United
States by the different branches
of Odd Fellowship-it being the
anniversary day of this Order, it
first being established in Balti-
more, Md, on April 26tb, 1919,
although its origin can be traced
back to England many years
prior to that time to what is
known as the Manchester Unity,
but American Odd Fellows only
commemorate its establishment
in America which on Wednesday
last, April 26th, was its S0th an
niversary, and Thomas Wildey
being the founder.
On this anniversary day, the
26th, the Grand Sire, VINO is the
highest officer, issues his annual
proclamation and urges all lodges
of this Order, to observe this day
by appropriate exercises, as also
does the Grand Master of each
jurisdiction or State issue sim
liar proclamation to all Subor-
dinate lodges within his jurisdic-
ton; the Grand Patriarch to all
Encampments and the President
to all Rebekah lodges.
We believe that this day has
been observed every year in this
county since Custer No. q was
organized in October, 1887. most
the time at Challis, but on few
occasions at Bayhorse and Clay
ton. This year was no exception.
and was observed in Challis by
Custer Lodge No. q, Custer En-
campment No. 10. and Silver
Leaf Rebekah No. q.
The day dawned bright and
clear, although rather cool for
this time of the year. Quite a
number of members and others
from the outside camps were in
attendance, besides many from
Challis and the surrounding val
ley. The exercises were held in
the large 1. o. o. F. hall at 2:3C
D. N. The usual street parade
was dispensed with. The memb.
ers of the different branches oi
the Order simply wore handsome
badges representing the lodge
to which they belonged, while
the officers in the Subordinate
Lodge who took part in the form
exercises, wore the regalia o.
their Office, viz n. G., V. g..
Secretary and Chaplain.

that there are in the city of Honolulu

WANTED T0BE CHIEF.
A Drunken Indian Holds the
Chair With a Pistol.

Capt. J. W. Ellis of the Indian
police while in the city a few days
ago, told a good story illustrative
OF the conditions that used to pre-
vail at Tahlequah during the sit
tings of the national council. On
one occasion Captain Ellis said, a
drunken Indian got possession of
the executive chair in the chiefs
office and held it with big pistol
which he waved threateningly in
front of him and forbade any one
coming near him. Finally Cap
tain Ellis and T. NJ. Burlington,
the present chief elect, each of
them some inches over six feet
in height, got hold of the disturber
and yanked him down stairs, and
out through the capitol yard to the
national Jail; the prisoners feet
dangling in the air as he was lifted
of the ground and firmly held on
either side by the two giants.

NO COM MOTION.
Like the Arab, Buffalo Bills
Men Move.

A St. Louis visitor says that one
of the very interesting sights he
witnessed was the taking down of
the Wild West outfits tents and
equippage. As each part was used
for the last time it was speedily
taken apart, packed and loaded
for the cars, and very soon after
midnight both sections of their
train were on the way to Spring
field, Iii. The Indians took down
their teepees and packed them on
their ponies and the Rough Riders
and other equestrians saddled up
and moved their outfits by the
same means. There was no COM
motion and beyond the noise of
loosing tent stakes, very little dis
turbance from these branches of
the show. The quietude with
which the Indian can move was
illustrated some % years ago at
the Cheyenne agency, now Okla
homa Territory. The Cheyennes
had been moved from the north
west against their will and an out
break was threatened. They were
determined to return to their old
home and the military authorities
at Ft. Reno, just across the river,
hardly two miles away were watch
ing them day and night. One day,
along towards noon, word was
brought to the post that they were
gone and so 1t proved. Their
teepees, those that were visible
from the fort, were all left stand
ing, they having provided them
selves with others. 1t was recall
ed then that the incessant barking
of the dogs had not been heard
after ten or eleven o'clock, and
that was the only sign of the de-
parture-and it was overlooked
until too late.

the tax due the Indians. They
have had the free and unrestricted
use of the Indian country for
grazing privileges for the last
twenty-five or thirty years. There
is absolutely no defense to offer
for the course they are now pur-
suing. They have monopolized
the Cherokee country so long they
evidently feel like they had vested
rights therein. If the government
should now step in and disposess
these fellows and do something for
the common Cherokee Indian they
would raise great howl. They
are as disloyal to the United
States government as they have
been to the Cherokees.

A coterie of cattle men held
meeting in this city a day or two
ago and decided upon an ultimatum
to The Indian Cbieftain, to the
effect that if the paper does not
stop advocating the collection of
the cattle tax due the Cherokee
nation, that they will withdraw
their names from its subscription
list and refuse to give it any sup
port or business whatever. We
have received and fully considered
the edict, and have to say in re-
ply, that these same cattle men
have our entire permission to go
straight to Hades: We will advo-
cate anything that in our judgment
is right, and we don't propose to
be dictated to by any class or clan.
The day is past and forever gone
when one or two men can control
the town and country. We still
insist on the payment of all the
revenues due the Indians.

ABOUT THE CATTLE TAX.
A Very Fair Presentation OF
the Subject.

EDITOR CHIEFTAIN:-In Mon
days issue of The Daily Chieftain
1 read your article on the COW men
kicking on the payment of the
cattle tax due the nation. Now |,
for one, believe you are right on
this score. If the revenue officials
had begun their collections on the
cattle which have been imported
since the Curtis law became en-
forceable in court, there would
not have been so much dissatisfac-
ton on the part of hay shippers
and merchants. Because, in the
first place, there is due the Chero-
kee nation perhaps $40 on cattle
tax TO 81 on all other revenues,
and it would have looked better
and seemed fairer TO all parties.
Furthermore, the hay industry
furnishes employment to a great
number of laborers during the
season, and therefore it is good
thing for the country, while mer-
chandising is a necessity to all.
Now if any one can show what
good the Texas cattle industry has
been TO the Cherokee nation, l
would like to hear from him. The
great majority of these cattle are
fattened on the range and shipped
out, and therefore never make any
market for corn or other teed, and
furnish but very little employment
to labor in their keeping, but on
the other hand they eat out the
grass so the land grows up in
weeds; and what is a still greater
detriment TO the country, is the
Texas fever they bring in. When
l came to Bluejacket nine years
ago, Chas. Bluejacket, J. Gore, j..
A. Howe, J. C. Williamson and
others had each a nice herd of do
mestic cattle, but they lost such a
large per cent that they became
discouraged in trying to raise do
mestic cattle, and this has been
the case all over the nation. Now
considering these facts, it looks a
little inconsistent for these cow
men to kick on the payment of
their part of the revenue, as they
surely have gotten more than their
share of the public domain. |
asked one of the revenue collectors
a short time ago why he did not
proceed to collect the cattle tax,
and his answer was, be supposed
the government would do 1t at the
proper time. Now if the proper
time is after the cattle are shipped
out, why not let the hay men ship
their hay before collecting. l, as
a citizen of the Cherokee nation.
am willing to pay my part of all
the revenue due the nation, but l
would like to see the officials treat
all alike and hew to the line, let
the chips fall where they may.

AFTER SEVEN DAYS.
Father Convicted of Daugh-
ter'S Murder.

Last May the daughter of a fam
lily named Butler, living near ST.
loam Springs, was found dead in
bed, beside two younger sisters.
She had been murdered with an
ak and very soon suspicion fell
upon the father, who had said he
would rather see his child dead
than join the Mormon church.
Butler and his wife had separated
over the Mormon religion. After
being out seven days the jury yes
terday found Butler guilty of muir
der in the first degree.

The assertion that is made by
some that the money collected as
royalties due the Cherokee nation
would all be absorbed by the off,
Gals in the way of salaries and
expenses is an error. The money
collected is placed to the credit of
the Cherokees and the salaries of
most of the officers are paid by the
United States government without
expense to the Indians. Under
these circumstances no reasonable
person could be opposed to the
course the government is pursu-
ing in trying to secure to these
people what it can of their birth
right.

In an editorial in Saturdays
daily we suggested the propriety
of leaving off the final rolls of
Cherokee citizens preparatory to
allotment the names of all who,
themselves or their ancestors,
shared in the allotment of the old
Cherokee nation. 1t has been said
that this would work a great
injustice upon some of our people.
We submit that if these people
have had their their shares of
Cherokee land once, that the in
justice would be to The other Che
rokees to allow them to again share
in the allotment. OF course the
national council erred in again ad-
mitting them, but if it can be
shown by the records that they
have already had their shares of
the common property of the tribe
that they ought not to be given
another share. The fairness of
this proposition ought to commend
it to the Dawes commission and to
the government.
