Saturdays Ardmorite.
Friday evening Captain Jack
Ellis, accompanied by a squad Of
Indian police, arrived in the city
and put up at the Wilmington
hotel.
They refused to discuss the OBJ
ject of their visit, but it was soon
rumored that they had come to
enforce the collection Of the tribal
] per cent tax, and, as many of
our business men have refused to
pay the taxguntil its legality is
passed upon by the higher courts,
some fun was looked for yesterday
morning.
About 8 o'clock yesterday
morning the full purpose of the
visit became manifest when Cap
tain Ellis visited the big wholesale
store of A. Kloski and under or
ders from Indian Agent Shoenfelt
proceeded to close the doors of
this establishment against possible
customers for failure of the pro-
prietor to pay the | per cent tax.
After closing the doors Captain
Ellis placed an Indian policeman
before the store to guard against
the resumption of business.
The big retail house of Sig ST.
mon & Bro, was the next place
visited and here the same action
was taken. We are informed
that Mr.. KIoski rendered the
amount Of his tax to prevent the
closing Of his place Of business,
but that it was refused pen ding
instructions from Muskogee as
the time for payment had passed,
and Captain Ellis mad no authority
to accept payment.
From Sig Simon's the crowd
followed across ths street to the
dry goods store Of R. W. Randol,
which was soon put out Of bust
ness and placed under guard
Up the street then to John
Fielder's grocery store went the
crowd, following the same lead,
and here a fourth policeman was
detailed to see that no business
was transacted.

ed and decreed by the court, that
the defendants, J. George Wright,
j. Blair Shoenfelt, Jack Ellis, and
X, L. Ream, their attorneys, dep
uties, assistants, agents and any
one connected with them, arehere-
by restrained from closing up the
places of business, or store houses
of the above named plaintiffs, or
any merchants in the said city of
Ardmore, and that they be re-
strained and enjoined from in any
manner interfering with the stores
or business house Of said parties,
and it is further ordered and de-
creed that such store houses and
places of business as they have
already taken possession of and
closed be at once released, 10 the
above named parties, aud that said
defendants, are restrained from
keeping same closed or from in
any manner interfering with the
business of said parties, until
further orders of this court.
Hosea Townsend. Judge.
October, 13, 1900.
This order, together with sum-
mons, was placed in the hands of
Marshal Hammer for service.
As soon as be received it Marshal
Hammer proceeded to execute
the order in person.
As to the course that NAV be
pursued by the tribal authorities
pending the final hearing on the
injunction suit, there is much
speculation The restraining or
der does not prohibit them from
removing obnoxious persons from
the Territory and the impression
IS somewhat general that thiscourse
viii be pursued III the interim.
This view is borne out by sew
eral kilograms received here yes
terday from Indian Agent Shoen-
felt. They were addressed to the
merchants whose houses were
closed yesterday and all were sub
stantialIy the same. One of them
read as follows:
"Have revoked order of remoY-
al from Territory on condition of
of tax today to tribal au-
Lhorities."
This would seem to indicate an
intention on the part of the Indian
agent to further harrass the re-
'alcitrant merchants il they do not
pay the tax promptly. What salu-
AIRY effect such action could have

The business men had not been

but had applied to the attorneys

secure relief for them. An appli.
