Farrar, teller OF the Waterbury Ma
tional bank and treasurer OF the VIII

falcation of $25,00O of the banks

In the telephone news from
Raysville in yesterday ARDMORE-
ITE was an item which should COM
mend itself to the consideration
of all fair minded Indian citizens
who claim possession of lands
held by non-citizens under i'm
provement contracts. Mr.. Stow
ers purchased the improvements of
Mr.. Clark and thereby acquired
peaceable possession of the land
claimed by him. The considera-
ton was $130, which he consider
ed cheaper than the cost and
trouble of a law suit. Certainly
his course is commendable and
worthy of emulation. Most non
citizens will surrender possession
peaceably if they are offered rea-
sonable compensation for their i'm
provements and the citizen there
by gains immediate possession. On
the other hand, if the non citizen
thinks that the Indian claimant is
simply trying to beat him out of
nis improvements, adding court
costs to the other injury, he will
naturally fight the case and fight
y hard. By giving bond he can
s IAN the property pending the
lslon on the case and so get pay
Or his improvements from the
nson's of the land. In either

Attempted Record Steal.

Vinita, l. T., Jan. 18,-It has
just been discovered that another
attempt was made a few nights ago
to break into the auditors Office
at Tahlequah and steal the records
from the office. The burglars
broke the transom above the door
of the Office which leads out in the
hall in front of the executive Office
and climbed in, using an old chair
for the purpose. In the floor on
the inside were discovered burned
pieces of numerous matches which
had been burned in the vain search
for the national auditors record
books, wherein were recorded the
national certificates issued by the
various clerks. Chief T. NJ. Buff
fngton had the books locked up in
the fireproof vaults of the bank of
Tahlequah, where they are in safe
keeping. The burglars were
thwarted in their desperate effort
to destroy the records.
