Guthrie, o. T., July 25-Secretary Fill
son, of the school land board, has just
received notice of the rejection of the
territory's claim to $3.50 acres Of indem-
nifty school lands that had been selected
in lieu of lands lost in sections 10 and 80
in Greer county by reason Of certain
townships being fractional. Secretary
Hitchcocks decision is given in letter
addressed to the commissioner of the
general LAM office and is as follows:
"Sir-By your office decision of June 9,
1899. the selections by the territory Of
Oklahoma Of certain lands described in
list 5, amounting to G,230.06 acres, in lieu
of lands lost in place in sections 13 and
3S, by reason of certain townships being
fractional were rejected.
Section A of the act of January 1S
1897 (29 Stat, 400, providing for the en-
try OF lands in Greer county, is as fol-
lows:
Sections numbered Is and Sc are re-
served for school purposes as provided in
laws relating to Oklahoma, and sections
Il and SO in each township are reserved
for such purposes as the legislature of
the future state Of Oklahoma may pre-
scribe. That whenever any Of the lands
reserved for school or other purposes
under this act, or under the laws Of
CONGRESS relating to Oklahoma. shall be
found t. have been occupied by actual

demnify against loss occas stoned by rea-
son of these sections being fractional in
quantity or where one or more are want
ing by reason of the township being
fractional or from any other natural
cause.
Sections 2275 and 2276 of the revised
statutes as amended by act of February
2S, 1891. provided for indemnity for such
fractional losses only where they pertain
to sections 16 and Sc reserved for school
purposes. There is, therefore, no law au-
thorizng indemnity fer the losses pre-
scented in the list here asked 70 be ap-
proved
The school leasing board for the terri
tory Of Oklahoma, who have prosecuted

event he shall find that there is no law
authorizing these lieu selections ito rec
ommend to congress of the United States
an amendment TO the law, which shall
allow the selection OF indemnity land for
sections - and 80 the same as are now
allowed for sections If and 36' In an
swer to this request 1t is sufficient to
say that the reservation OF sections 13

INDIAN LAND LEASES HELD UP
Otoes and POncas Rented at Far 90
Low n Future

Guthrie, o. T., July "a Washin gton
dispatch says that trouble has again
arisen over the approval Of the agricul-
tural leases in the Otoe and Ponca res
ervations in Oklahoma Territory. 1t
will be rememrebed that these same
leases occasioned considerable scandal
about two years ago. resulting in q con-
greSsional inquiry, which disclosed brib-
cry and corruption. Recently the Indian
agent forwarded to the department a
number of applications for leases on ag-
ricultural lands at 25 cents per acre. Thu
land which il IS proposed 10 lease for y
cents per acre Is among the most valua-
ole agricultural land In Oklahoma Ter
ritory. On some OF these lands az high
as forty and fifty bushels Of wheat was
raised last spring. showing beyond ques-
ton the value Of the land When the
leases first reached the Indian Office
Commissioner Jones Immediately corn-
municated with John Jensen and asked
his opinion as 10 whether the lease
price submitted was a reasonable one
This was in response 10 numerous pro-
tests received at the Office agaznt the a.
proval of these leases. Mr.. Jensen re0lie9
that the lands were easily worth NOR
money. but that the Indians had agreed
to accept this figure. and that he thought
L only right that they he allowed 70
control their own affairs. H suggested
that the only way BY which these Indi-
ans could be taught 4 lesson as % the
value Of their property was by allowing
them 70 rent It az an insignificant figure
and assume the resP0nSibilitv. The rext
time, he added they would know better

leases run for = period % FIVE yeas.

arrives at the following conclusions:
% That this action may be maintain

petition duly verified by the county at

the power and jurisdiction TO restrain and
enjoin the continuance OF q public CT
common nuisance. That the jurisdiction
Of the courts to interfere in such cases
by injunction is a well recognized prin-
ciple from ancient times and by undoubt-
ed authority. and this power has always
existed independent on any expressed
statutory power; but to remove any doubt
in this Jurisdiction, our civil code has
expressly provided under section 30 that
"an injunction may be granted in the
name of the territory. to enjoin and sup
press the keeping and maintaining OF a
common nuisance" 90 That the juris-
diction of the court is not divestetG by
the fact that a public nuisance is a crime
or misdemeanor under the provisions of
our penal code. and that prosecution for
the commission OF the offense either by
the territory or the local authorities, is
not a bar to civil action TO enioin the
continuance Of the nuisance (D That the
