AFFECTS the ROCK ISLAND.
Part OF the Right OF Way Taken From
chickasaws by the New Route.

Chickasha, 1. T., April 17.-The
controversy over the west bound
airy line of the Chickasaw nation
is said to include the Chicago,
Rock Island g. Pacific railroad
company, which is dissatisfied
with the results of the last survey,
as it shifts part of the roads right
oi-way from the southern part Of
the Chickasaw nation into the
Kiowa and COmanche reservations.
The Chickasaws always claimed
that the west boundary line, the
inety.eighth meridian, should
give them strip Of land two
miles wide which was included in
the Kiowa and Comanche reserva-
tions. When a new survey of the
ninety-eighth meridian was made
last year by the federal authori-
ties there was only slight change
made in the location of tie line
at its intersection with Red river,
but from that point the new sur
vey bore off to the northwest, and
its northern terminus was about
two miles west of the original
point, which gave the Chickasaws
a triangular territory over which
they formerly had no control. The
deviation at the starting point on
Red river was to the east instead
OF to the west, the new meridian
line crossing the Rock Island
right ol-way about six miles north
of Red river.

The memorial is purely techni-

The local name of the Eastern
Cherokees is Emigrant Cherokees.

used to distinguish them from the
"Western" Cberokees, or "Old
Settlers" The "Emigrant" or
eastern" Cherokees have the
same right TO organize as the
"Western" Cherokees or "Old
Settlers" had.
The delegation was misled by
some letters from home oritioising
the first convention of the "Eaet-
ern" Cherokees. / think they al.
ready realize that they made a
mistake and regret the protest
they filed. The delegation was
informed that the first convention
was not called on sufficient notice

FORGED A CHECK FOR $50
RatcIiff Bros. the Victims of
CentraIia's Penman

Z. c. Brant Of Centralia succeed
ed last Tuesday in cashing a bogus
check at Ratcliff Bros. wholesale
grocery in this city. He claimed
to be in the grocery business at
Centralia and purchased about $40
worth OF goods, and after the
banks were closed presented a
check for $50 on a Coffeyville
bank. The check bore the sigma
ture Of H. NJ. Adams, and was en-
dorsed by E. G. Brant in a differ
ent handwriting from the body Of
the check. The balance Of $40
was paid him, and the bank at
Coffeyville Immediately telephon.
ed and the information received
that the maker of the check had
no money on deposit there.
Then Brant was found at Chas.
Newman's billiard hall and went
to his boarding house, a restaurant
south Of the Cobb hotel, to get
the money to redeem the check;
but on entering the room he slip
ped out the back window and es-
capped. He ordered a team from
Raines' livery stable to take him
back to Centralia, but did not re-
turn for it.
Brant was editor of a newspaper
at Centralia last year, and got into
a scrape similar to the present es-
capade at Coffeyville last fall and
was landed in Jail, but subsequent
ly got out OF it by refunding the
money and laying the blame on a
confederate. Brant is about forty
years Of age, prematurely gray, of
slight build, about 5 feet 10 inches
in height, weight about lao
pounds, had a short black mus
tache, and wore a brown crush
hat. He had been about the streets
here since Monday, apparently
laying his plans for the job he
finally put up.

CONCLUSION.

Amongst the many defects of this
paper, prepared in the midst of busy
pastors duties, and in the heat of
summer, the fault of raShnesS in
choosing position cannot be included.
/ have slowly and cautiously taken
my ground after patient thought and
careful correspondence with breth-
rem in whose Judgment ] place very
great faith. 1t is my deliberate con-
viction that the Confession Gibraltar
is the unambiguously Scriptural Con-
fession.
To surrender this stronghold
would be to fall back upon the less
sure utterances of individuals whom
the enemy is only too eager to meet.
The surrender is as unnecessary as 1T
might be unsafe. The Confession
flies its own flag: from its own walls
let it blow its own clear trumpet, to
all Christendom and through all tune;
