WHO HIS AUTHORITY?
Question in the Laying Off
of ToWnSiteS
IN THE INDIAN COUNTRY
Nobody Cares, Just So It's
Settled Soon.

NARROW, L T, Aug. A-some serious
complications have arisen over the work
of laying out townsites for the towns
along the Rock Island road in the, terri
tory Major H. V. Hinckley, superinten-
dent of townsite surveys for the Choctaw
and Chickasaw nation, acting under the
instructions Of Indian Inspector J. G.
Wright, has surveyed the boundary lines
of al towns on the Rock Island road.
Several towns have employed surveyors
to survey and plat their toWnsites at the
expense Of the towns. Hon. Yves. Bur
ney, the Chickasaw member of the town
site commission, says that the work be-
ing done by Major Hinckley, and what
work may be done by the towns under his
direction, is all Illegal. Under the Atoka
agreement the townsite commission was
to lay out and plat all towns, and Mr..
Burney claims that as Major Hinckley is
acting under the direction Of the Indian
inspector, and not the commission, whose
duty it is to lay out and plat townsites,
his work is not binding on the Chickasaw
nation and, therefore, the Chickasaw gov
eminent will refuse 10 give titles to the
residents Of all towns till the regular
townsite commission can lay out and
plat such towns.
The contention is a great disapDoint-
ment to towns on the Comanche border
in the Chickasaw nation, as they hoped
to have their town lots appraised before
the opening Of the Comanche reservation
The price Of real estate is rapidly in
creasing in every town, caused by the
rapid growth Of the town caused by the
prospect of an early opening of the
country. When this reservation is open
ed town lots in every town along the
border will be quadrupled in value It is
thought by many that Mr.. Burney is
right in his contention, but the best In
formation to be obtained now would in
dictate that the work will be carried on
under the direction Of ]. G. Wright, In
dian inspector, this course being author
lied by an act of congress of last June.
The residents in towns do not care how
the questions are settled, but they are
anxious for as early a settlement as pos
sible
NARROW received its first bale of cotton

He WOULD Be A BAD MAN
Details OF the Shoot r Tor
Gilankes hN Alex Rurch.

Guthrie, o. T. Sept - --.apahoe
Bee contains full details of the shooting
scrape IN Washita county, in which
Alex. Burch shot and killed Tony Gil
lankes. The Bees story follows: "On
last Sunday afternoon Alex Burch a
boy about Il years old, shot and killed
Tony Gilankes, a young German abo t
a years old. The shooting took place
just over the line in Washita county.
about Is miles southwest of Arapahoe.
It seems that young Burch had been
working in the COW camps for several
years and had thoroughly imbibed the
idea that would not be a man until he
became a very bad citizen. Sunday af-
ternoon he rode down to where Gfankes
and some more parties were, and be-
gan trying to rope him. Glankes tried
to persuade him to quit, but failing,
caught him and slapped him. Burch
then said he. could Kill all such d-n
Dutchmen as him. and rode off He
went TO Tom Shahans, where he was
working, and laid around until he got a
chace to steal Toms pistol out of the
cupboard. He then went back after Gil
lankes, and saw MIN going through n
corn field toward q neighbours house
As Gilankes emerged from the corn field
Bureh began firing at him. Gilankes
ran and Burch followed him up firing
at him five times. one shot striking him
and passing through the body, killing
him instantly. Burch then went hack
10 Shahan's, did the chores ami went
10 bed. He was arrested in bed lust
before daylight, and taken to Jail at
Corden. The fact that this same gun
was used 10 shoot a man in the back
about a year ago, and the act only cost
the shooter fine of 81 at the spring
term Of the dtstict court. may have
had a whole lot TO do with this reck-
less act"
