THE INDIANS FRIEND.

The recent developments at
Washington, and the general trend
of affairs relative to the Indians,
plainly indicates that the govern
ment of the United States through
It's duly appointed emissaries, is
the best friend the Indians have
after all. Nearly all the local or
CARNATIONS in the territory are
against the rights and interests of
the common Indian. Those who
opposed the collection of taxes in
the Cherokee nation recently,
though Cherokee citizens them
selves many of them, are known
to be diametrically opposed to the
interests OF the common Cherokee
Indian. The royalty on cattle,
hay, merchandise, coal, etc, is
due the tribe and ought to be paid
without question, just as an hon
orable man will pay any other
debt, but when you single cut the
men who afe fighting the payment
of such revenue you wall find men
who ought to be friends to the In
dian, and who are, and have been,
profiting by the present conditions.
One of the leading banks of the
territory recently Ousted one of its
directors for the simple reason that
he recognized the rights of the In
dians to the money due them on
their own commodities. The
banks under such circumstances
generally want men who are
known to be against the people
among whom they have cast their
lot, and who are opposed to the
payment of the revenues due the
Indians under the laws. Right
and justice have no place in the
consideration of matters involving
directly the rights of the Indian
citizens. An appeal to the United
States government is all that is
left, and all that stands between
them and open, fragrant wrong.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1900-01-18

At the recent sitting of the ap-
pelste court in this city, Chief JUS
tlce Clayton handed down decis-
ion touching the right of the Indi-
an agent to dispossess leasehold-
ers. In this case Hiram Quigley,
a citizen of the United States, i'm
proved a farm in the Creek nation
under an improvement contract
made with a citizen of that nation.
The Greek citizen having be-
come dissatisfied with his contract,
made application to the Indian
agent to have Quigley removed
from the farm, which was done,
the Agent deciding that the i'm
provement contract was void.
Quigley brought suit in the district
court at Muskogee alleging unlaw-
full removal, but the court decided
against him. From this judg-
ment Quigley appealed to t b E
court of appeals, which court re-
versed the judgment of the lower
court and remanded the case for a
new trial. In his opinion Judge
Clayton holds that the Indian
agent has no authority to adjudi-
cate any question involving prop
erty rights between citizen of the
United States and a citizen of one
OF the FIVE tribes, that question be-
ing expressly reserved for adjudi-
cation by the courts. The opin-
ion was concurred in by Justices
Townsend, Thomas and Gill;
South McAlester Capital.

Governor Burlington, as a wise

Immediately after the burglary
during the session of council, and
so the desperate burglars were
thwarted in their designs. There
have been two attempts to burn
the capitol building at Tahlequah
and the governor is determined to
preserve the most valuable rec
ords. The thought of an investi-
CATION is driving some guilty par
ties to desperation.
