ALLor u..oER TRHATY oF ,o6.

sche fate OF the Cherokee agree
merit seems to be practically set
tied. as the report Of the JOINT sub
committee is so unfavorable that
the Cherokeee are almost unani-
nous in opposing il. 1t is now
hoped that the agreement will not
be ratified by congress, unless the
original agreement would be ac-
cepted. as it wolld then save the
expense Of holding an election in
the Cherokee nation TO vote upon
IL. While the Cherokees and the
people generally in the nation
we're anxious Tor final and defin-
ile settlement, they prefer to leave
matters as they now stand than to
accept treaty so outrageously
unjust as tho one reported by the
iaint sub committee last week.
the general sentiment now seems
10 favor a cessation Of all action
looking toward allotment until the
convening nf the national council
next November, at which time
allotment according TO the treaty
Of 1866 could very properly be re-
que-t-d Under the provisions Of
that treaty the United States gov
eminent will allot the lands of th G
Cherokee nation equally among
those entitled TO share in the di'
visiun without expense to the
Indians.

THE BARTLESVILLE ROAD.
To be Sold Under Mortgage
on June 30th.

A short but important session of
Judge GilPs court was held in the
court room in this city between II
and 12 O'Clock Tuesday night.
The case OF the Atchison, To.
peka & Santa Fe Railway Co.
against the Kansas, Oklahoma
Central & Southwestern Railway
Co., of Kansas and Oklahoma, had
been set for hearing on May Goth,
and all documents prepared to that
end, and bad the matter failed of
attention a great deal of work
would of necessity have had to be
gone through again.
Judge Gill adjourned court at
Muskogee at noon Tuesday and
started for Vinita on the flyer, but
an accident at Lelietta delayed the
trains arrival here until about
lilo, leaving little less than an
hou' to dispose Of case involving
something over half a million dol
lars. However, this was done, to-.
gether with some other business,
and court adjourned promptly on
the stroke OF IL
The Barllesville company was
organized under two separate char
ters, one fuT Oklahoma and the
other for Kansas Early in the
construction of the road a mortgage
was given under the Kansas char
ter 10 the Metropolitan National
bank OF Chicago for s25, 600, which
mortgage subsequently, fell into
the hands of the Santa Fe COM
pany. The Oklahoma charter pro-
vided for the issue Of 81 100000 in
bonds, but cnly half that amount
was Issued. These bonds have al
so come into the possession OF the
Santa Fe company.
On April 9th the latter company
filed suit for foreclosure of the
mortgage, and on May 81 P. L.
Soper was appointed special mas
ter in the case, filing his report on
May 26. At Tuesday nights session
the repor: of special master was
confirmed and judgment rendered
in favor of the Santa Fe railway
company against the X, o. G. &
S. w. company of Kansas in the
sum OF s26,S55, also against the
same company in Oklahoma foI
s55S, ,578.19, the principal and in
terest on bonds issued under that
charter, and a decree Of foreclosure
and sale rendered.
P. L. Soper was appointed spec
ial master to sell the road, which
will take place on June 80, the
Santa Fe company probably being
the buyers.
The documents in this case are
of a very voluminous character, the
the decree of court covering forty
one closely typewriter pages, ,and
the report OF the special master
nearly as many; while at least
half dozen other documents are
equally as large, and q score OF
more Of smaller ones run from one
to ten pages.
The attorneys in the case are Il
D. Kenna, Robt. Dunlap and l.. f
Parker, Jr., on the part Of the
Santa Fe, and Henry E. Asp fol
the X, o. c. & S. w.
After disposing Of the railway
case Judge Gill took up the crimi
mai docket and the following caseI
were transferred to Muskogee;.
105i-W. r. Hessel and Ton
Ohara, burglary.
1l53-Frank Harmon, receiving
stolen property.
1l60-Jas. Sawanick, dispensing
liquor.

Lynch, dispensing liquor.
