ShOenfelt's Statement.

Bristow, ]. T., February 2 Indian
policemen have been preventing the

q result citizens have been having a
great deal Of difficulty in getting fuel.
A. n. Purdy believed that the police
men we're exceeding their authority

he received the following letter.
"Referring TO your communication
] have 10 say that have this day ad
vised Policeman Harry that he should
not interfere with parties who are
hauling stovewood into Bristow and
selling the same, as this Office recog.
nizes the necessity of the people OF
Bristow to be supplied with wood for
their stoves, and does not desire TO
annoy them, especially where the
wood is cut frop, down timber. 1t is
not considered a violation OF the law
for parties to shoot quail and other
small game for subsistence only, and I
have also written policeman Harry TO
cease interfering with hunters who

WILL NOT RESIGN
What Representative Dick
Says About the Barnes
Case.

Washington Feb. 2--Rep' esentative
Dick, secretary Of the Republican Ma
tional committee who has ben looking
after Governor Barnes's in, crest in the
Oklahoma 6ght, said today th.t the
charges against the governor had not
been dropped with the understanding
that Barnes resign.
"As matter o fact" said Colonel
Dick, Governor Barnes's standing at
the White house and at the Interior
department could not be better than
1t is. The aght which his enemies have
made on him has strengthened him
with the administration.
The charges have been dropped by
Secretary Hitchcock AMI nothing fuI-
ther will be heard frem them There
is not the slightest foundation for the
rnmor that they we're dropped only
when Barnes promised to resign.
went through the charges carefully.
They were empty and vague and the
report that the governor was in dang
er of removal was only newspapertalk
Proper investigation showed that the
governor had not been guilty OF one
unlawful act"
Colonel Dick said the anti-Barnes
people could not do the governor any
injury from congressional inquiry
He said ne h I'D no. heard that such an
inquiry was desired
The belief here is that il Barnes's
enemies succeed in getting resolution
