Pat Ward. who was convicted OF
burglary here in 1896 un Ter the name
of yellow Henry" and was pardoned
after 9-months' service in the Illinois
penitentiary, blew into town today.
AT my old business" said Pat, bum
ming and begging. But don't under
stand by that that | am a wicked man
to the extent that 1 would harm an
other. The only individual I have
ever wronged is Pat Ward"
Pats home is in Burlington, Iowa
He was arrested there shortly after
the burglarizing in this city of Bak-
er's hardware store. The fact that a
number of articles of the same kind
that were stolen from Bakers store
were found on him, went hard against
him, and although reputable people
from Burlington testified that Ward
was I'm Burlington, and dead drunk,
on the night of the robbery here, the
jury declared him guilty, ION general
principles, guess" is the way
Pat puts it. He went to the
penitentiary, but friends interceded
for him, among them Senator Gear, of
Iowa, and finally States Attorney
Searle went to Pats aid, and he was
pardoned by the governor. That
was a crime L was as innocent of as n
newborn child" said Ward.
Ward is 81 years of age and single.
In the summer he says he follows
the river and in the winter he lives
on his friends and others who are
sufficiently moved by his tale to give
of the contents of their purse.

IT IS UP TO ACTION,

fore THE Council To.
night.
INTEREST IN COMMITTEE REPORT.

Matter of Great Importance to Be Dis
cations of the Independent Companies
| Improved Service and Better Rates
at stake.
| The city council meets in regular
| monthly session this evening, when it
! is anticipated the telephone franchise
| question will come up for final dispo-
! sition. AS has been heretofore stated
in THE ARGUS. this is subject in
which the public is greatly con-
of citizens at the council chamb Der is
likely, including many farmers from
the south end of the county, who came
| in today to witness the fate of their
petition.
AS a matter of course, the report
is expected, of the committee which
made the recent tour of investigation
of telephone plants, with recon-
mendations. At last accounts it APP
peared likel Athat there would be two
reports from this committee before
the council. These reports are
awaited with much interest. AS is
known. the municipal fathers who
made the trip have declined To dis
cuss their impressions, and have
steadfastly refused to be interviewed
on the subject, maintaining that
nothing would be given out officially
until the report was submitted to
the council. Hal it been posi-
BILE to present to the public, in
advance of action, something in de-
tail as to the committee's observa
tiOns, THE ARGUS would have been
glad to have presented that informa-
ton, and for its own part sought
to do so. Trusting in the Judgment
Of the municipal representatives. and
recognizing the fact that they had
taken up the matter of investigation
with the aim of reaching an honest
conviction and conclusion. no effort
has been made by The ARGUS to influ-
euce them. 1t has simply asked a
fair disposition of the matter. fair
ness to the public abnve all, and
of fairness 10 all interests conce rned.
Long Anticipated Report Coming.
The telephone subject may now be
said to be up to the investigating
committee, and it need hardly be stated
that such report, or reports, as may
appeal to the intelligence not only of
the council, but of the people should
be forthcoming. 1t is well for the
council not to lose sight of the fact
that il is dealing not only with fran
chises, but with situation. There are
two propositions before the council
from rival independent telephone COM
panies. The council should be fully
convinced as TO which is the more
worthy. and therefore need feel no
computations in recognizing one and
discarding the other-being care
full, of course, which one it discards.
The Central Union company having no
franchise under consideration, the |
question as it affects that company is !
not in any respect what it wants-for
officially it is asking nothing-but the |
question is what the public wants, |
entirely.
There need be no quandary as to |
what the public wants. 1t has de-
manded better rates and cheaper |
service, one as much as the other. |
have been made assur-
ing the public of both. 1t is within
the province of the council to provide |
both. The opportunity is before it.

FIXING THE time OF OPENING
Quotations From the Law
Setting Forth the Time
Eor Opening Kiowa
Reservation.

We are often asked when will
the Kiowa and COmanche reseT-
vation open. In answer to this
we do no more than quote from
the law passed by the last con
gress and approved BY the Presi-
dent June 6, 1900. That law
says:
That all allotments Of said land
shall be made under the direction
of the Secretary of the Interior TO
said Indians within ninety days
from the passage of this Act, sub
ject to the exceptions contained
in article fuor of said treaty; pro.
vided, That the time for making
allotments shall in no event be
extended beyond six months from
passage of this Act.
Another question that is often
asked US: Will townsites be
established and surveyed when
the land is opened for settle
ments. In answer to this we
again quote the law.
"When said allotments OF land
shall have been selected and TAX
EN- as aforesaid and approved by
the Secretary of the Interior, the
titles thereto shall be held in
trust for the allottees, respective.
ly. for the period of twenty. FIVE
years, in the time and manner and
to the extent provided for in the
act of congress entitled "An act
to'provIde for allotment of land
in severalty to Indians on the var
ious reservations, and to extend
the protection of the laws of the
United States aud Territories
over the Indians and for other
purposes" approved February
%. 1891.
"And at the expirations of said
| e 'iod of 25 years the titles there
to shall be conveyed in fee simple
to the allOtees or the heir, free
from all incuberances.

THE RESERVATIONS

The Indian reservation is located be-
tween the washitas river on the north and
Red river on the south and between the
9sth meridian Of west longitude on the east
and north Fork or Red river on the west,
and contains in round numbers, 4.0OOO,OOC
acres. From this will be deducted about
oae million acres taken up by the noun
tains, and like amount to be allotted 70
the lndlaus, leaving about two million acres
to be thrown open to White settlers. The
lands occupied by the mountains is only
available for grazing purposes and rich In
gold, silver, tin and coal. These are still to
be developed.
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1900-10-25

The LANDS outside of the mountains are
undulatmg prairie, well watered with liY-
ing streams Of water is found by digging at
depths Of twenty to thirty feet, All the
streams bear a more or ess fringe OF tim
Der, while large areas are covered with a
growth Of mesquite trees, timber which
make good fence pests and is excellent
fuel. Other sections and some streams bear
a growth of timber large enough to saw into
lumber. ANY or all Of these timber lands
are productive, aud will make fine farms.
Dy an act of congress approved June o,
1900, the ab0ve reservation is to be opened
70 settlement On the north side Of this
reservation is another known as the Wichita
reservation, which may be included at the
sane time, but tins Is not yet known. The
law opening the reservation, provides that
the allotments shall be made in from three
to six months, and makes it lhe duty Of the
President to issue a proclamation opening
the country within six months after the al
Iotments are made. 1t is not likely that
the President will take the six months, and
and lie may issue his proclamation immedi-
etely after the allotments are made. Thus
it may be seen the lands may he open at any
time from the early spring TO summer OF
next year
