A MEXICAN SYNDICATE.
They are Trying to Defeat
the Treaty.

The Cherokee people are. indig.
nant just now. David Muskrat,
Daniel Grittz and Henry Dick are
in Washington as delegates, self
constituted, to defeat the Chero-
kee-Dawes treaty, lately made and
ratified by the Cherokees by a
two-thirds majority vote. Musk
rat, Grittz and Dick went to Wash
ington at the expense of those en-
gagged in the Mexican colonization
scheme, which is to make the In
dians dissatisfied here and to keep
up the dissatisfaction until they
get desperate enough to trade their
fertile land here in the territory
for the barren and desert lands of
Mexico.
To do this successfully, the colo
nlzatlon schemers are having them
fight the ratification of the Chero-
kee-Dawes treaty at Washington.
The people say this is an unholy
scheme got up by a syndicate
which has an option on 1000, 900
or 100000 acres of Mexican sand
land, and these Indians are being
used by those steering the deal.
They warn senators and con-
gressmen to be careful of the state
ments made to them. They say
it would be shame for these In
dians, nondescripts, to undo a
work that has taken six or eight
years and hundreds of thousands
of dollars to accomplish. 1t would
not only paralyze business entirely
in the Indian Territory to have
this treaty fail of ratification by
congress, but it would be a SET
back to the whole outhwestern
country surrounding the Indian
Territory.
St. Louis, Kansas City. Fort
Smith, Dallas and other cities are
vitally interested, for the status of
%, 900, 900 acres of fertile lands is
at stake, besides large commercial
and agricultural interests right in
their doors.
1t is said Chief Mayes will ask
the United States Indian agent to
have the Mexican meddlers and
profigates stirring up strife in the
Indian Territory move from the
limits of this country, as provided
by the United States statutes. The
legally and auth orized delegates to
Washington are Hon. L. B. Bell
and W. W. Hastings. A dozen
passes have been offered to various
Indians here by the Mexican syn
dicate to go to Washington and
fight the treaty.-Tahlequah

The latest information from the
delegation in Washington is that
the committee Of the senate and
house had SO far failed of quorum
and today was set as the time to
make another effort to consider
the treaty. Muskrat and Gritts
have returned home, and Dick
Adams is still in Washington
jubiiant over the prospect of de-
feating the treaty. The treaty, it
seems, cannot be reported with
out unanimous consent of all the
members of the subcommittee of
the two houses. 1t is stated the
railroads are not fighting the
treaty that any one knows of, and
that most of the railroad people

THE JENNINGS CASE.
Brief Sketch of the Crime
and Trial.

Al Jennings was sentenced a
Chickasha last week to imprison
ment in the Columbus penitentiary
for the term of his natural life, &
recent statute making that the
penalty in case the life of postal
clerk is put in jeopardy in rob.
bery-if the robbers display dead.
ly weapons. The other defend.
ants, Jennings brother and the
two O'Malleys, will probably plead
guilty if they can get off with q
sentence of ten years or SO. The
robbery for which Jennings was
convicted took place at siding a
few miles from Chickasha just be-
fore noon one day a year or two
ago. The robbers were seen in
that vicinity several times before
the robbery but not afterwards.
While the robbery was in progress
fellow rode up and was captured
by the robbers. This the officers
have always believed was part Of
the play. This man swore that
the robbers took him six miles and
made HIM cut the wire fences. The
day after the robbery he could give
the officers no description, claiming
the men were all masked; at the
trial he swore that he saw all OF
them and that AL Jennings was
not of the number. His testimony
was of course discounted. Jen-
nines took the stand in his
own defense and the attorneys on
cross examination were unable
to shake his testimony to any con-
siderable extent. He swore, how
ever, that he was at home
which was shown to be untrue.
The officers knew robbery was
going TO take place somewhere and
as soon as it occurred they got a
special train out of Guthrie and
hurried TO Tecumseh, the home OF
Jennings and watched for the boys
but they did not come, nor were
they there. The testimony hav.
ing shown that Jennings and his
companions were seen at different
places, heavily armed, he explain
ed the matter by saying he was
searching for Temple Houston,
who sometime before killed Ed
Jennings, one of his brothers.
Jennings attorney said after the
trial that but for this statement he
could have secured disagreement
OF the jury, the idea being that the
admission of being on an unlawful
mission was sufficient to turn the
scale with the jury. The defense
was fabricated one, very clearly,
and since the trial several of the
Jennings witnesses have been
prosecuted for perjury. Jennings
father, probate judge of the county
in which the trial occurred, is
among the the number.
The rewards are agreed to be
81 200, in the event the balance of |
the gang plead guilty-or stand
trial and are convicted. This is
for the one hold-up, on the Rock
Island road. If tried and convict.
ed for robbing the Santa Fe, of
which there is little doubt of their
guilt, the amount would be $40, 400. |
There are nine persons to divide

AN EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE.
The appointment Of General. The
Marquis d'Gallifet. as Minister of War
is an extraordinary example of the way
in which the Dreyfus case has revo-
lutioniZed political conditions. For
years past the General has been the
bugaboo OF the Extremists. not only be-
cause OF his monarchical sympa thies.
but on account OF the rigorous manner
in which he took part in REFRESHING the
commune. His entry into the cabine,
is undoubtedly due TO his attitude to-
wards the Dreyfus case. which has been
throughout favorable to Dreyfus. al
though he holds that the proclamation
of the prisoners innocence should not
include placing the responsibility for
the apparent judicial plumbers upon the
General Staff.

The charge against the Colonel was
that in conversation with Filipino Off
GERS he predicted that disorders with
in the nsurgent territory would lead to
civil war. and, therefore, he said he
considered autonomy under the Ameri-

Filipino Congress tried him on the
charge OF treason. ana a heated debate
over autonomy followed. Finally. the
Colonel was sentenced to death. but
this was committed TO II years impris-

plea upon the part OF his counsel.
