Mr.. JOhn Kelly Writes . second Ia
terestLng Letter 60 the Eagle.
Coal Gate, L r.; July Ito the Editor
of the Eagle: After a rough and rocky
time for the past two weeks, I again
find time to write you short note in
order to give our friends some httle idea
Of this country land when tell you that
we broke an axletree of our new wagon
yesterday loaded with but three men, It
win give you some idea Of our work, and
the country over which We passed. It Is
simply awful. About IS per cent Of the
Territory classified and appraised is COW
cred with scrubby timber and rock and
the other % per cent prairie and rocky.
We are assured, however, that our ter
ritory south Is much better. The three
representatives OF the United States and
the Choctaw and Chickasaw tribes were
all with US last night Mr.. ~. D. Ken
yon, Colonel Harrison and Colonel john
ston, all splendid gentlemen and all I'M
Outstanding their business thoroughly.
Then our squad is in charge OF Brother
Irish, one OF the jolly boys OF America,
and consequently our camp Is pleasant
visiting place for any wayfaring man OF
good report and well recommended who
may chance to stop with US.
The season so far has been too wet,
and the cotton, corn and tobacco are not
in good condition but may yet make
fair crop. Cattle, horses and hogs we ind
in the same condition as the timber
little, scrubby and practically worthless,
or would be in Kansas.
The health Of the four camps Is good,
and while the days are pretty warm the
nights are remarkably cool, In fact, we
had a slight frost few mornings ago.
We have no idea of what Is going on IN
the world, as it seems to be impossible
TO get either daily or weekly papers on
account of US changing locality so often,
but we hope Tor better things later on.
We find that 1t requires six to ten days
to view, classify and appraise town
ship, or thirty-six sections.
The towns and cities are so few and far
between that thed do US but little good.
Tt Is safe to say that 60 per cent Of
the entire population Of the territory al
ready passed upon are Texans.

HUGE LAND CLAIM
Robert |. Lindsay of Kansas
City Says He Owns
ALL OF BEAVER COUNTY
Denies Federal TitIe--CIaimS
Under Mexican Grant.
ALL OF BEAVER COUNTY

Guthrie, o. T.. July 1s-The claim
made by Robert L. Lindsay to ownership
of the west end Of Beaver county, that
part lying west of the 1O2d degree Of lon
gitude, or, IN other terms. all that part
of Beaver county lying south and directly
contiguous to Colorado, revives the old
question OF Oklahoma's previous owners
The historical maps issued by the gov
eminent show that all of Oklahoma and
the Indian Territory with the exception
OF Beaver county, formerly No Mans
Land, was in the Louisiana Purchase
which in 1903 Jefferson made Of Napo-
leon Bonaparte. In 1876, after Texas had
gained her independence, Beaver county
was then designated as part Of Texas
showing that lit had been Mexican terri
tory. Beaver county was afterward in
.cluded in the territory Of Oklahoma. Now
the latest claimant, Robert L. Lindsay,
of Kansas City, claims that the title of
the western end of this county was never
vested in the United States. He does
not say from where his title comes, but
the chances are he has one Of the old
Mexican land grants One OF these grapts
included she present site OF Dodge City,
kansas. 1t was given to q Mexican by
the Mexican government, 1t is said, with
the stipulation that he must found
colony there and maintain 1t within forty
years. Afterward his heirs set up a
claim to this land, but the stipulation
~ forty years, which was not fulfilled,
Vas sprung On them and they gave up
the fight. In Beaver county the claim
of Lindsay is looked upon as an attempt
on the part of Lindsay to make the cat
alemen now occupying the territory
pay him rental. OF course they will do
nothing of the kind. The land has been
regularly surveyed, homestead filings ac-
cepted from actual residents thereon,
and patents for the land have been
issued.
Editor Quinn Of Hardesty has received
The following letter from Lindsay:
Dear Sir-Your letter Of the 3Oth re-
ceived making inquiry to my title to land

Guthrie, o. T., July 49, Acall will be
issued shortly for a meeting OF the
Populist territorial central committee at
Kinghsher on August 10. 1t is under
stood that the middle-of-the-road ele-
ment are behind the movement for the
committee meeting and they will make
a determined effort to pledge the party
against any further fusion movement In
the territory. This course was deter
mined upon at a conference Of middle-of-

Saturday evening. Seven counties were
represented at this conference, and the
united sentiment expressed there was
strongly against fusion with the Demo
Gratis.

HARMONY ALONG THE LINE
COlOred Republicans OF the Territory
are Getting Together.

uthrie, o. II, July 1S.-The leaven OF
harmony which OF late has been working
among the Republicans of the territory
has extended to the colored wing Of the
organization and on August s the two
factions in the latter will meet at King
fisher and endeavor to come together.
One faction is headed by E. L. Sadler OF
uthrie, as president. and the other by D.
F. L. Banks of Enid. The original pur-
pose of the organization was to force
the white Republicans to make fair d.
vision of the patronage. but when they
met in Oklahoma City last year the
Barnes-Flynn quarrel intruded itself and
the meeting broke up in row. Now that
the differences between Barnes and
Flynn have been settled and there are
no more offices to quarrel over, 1t is
thought the colored brothers will also
be able to bring their ranks together.
