officers, TO enter the Cherokee ma
ton and collect such tax, it has
not been cited to the court, nor is
the court itself aware ol such law.
1t is however, claimed that section
2058 r. S. U. S., confers such
authority upon the Indian agent.
The statute says that the "Indian
agent shall within his agency
manage and superintend the inter-
course with the Indians agreeable
to law; and perform such reg
ulations and duties not inconsist-
ent with law, as may be pre-
scribed by the president and the
secretary of the interior, the COM
missioner of Indian affairs, or the
superintendent of Indian affairs. "
In the opinion of the court, this
section relates to intercourse with
the Indians; that is, intercourse of
the tribes with citizens of the
tribe, and has no bearing upon
intercourse among the citizens OF
tribe, aud therefore, does not
apply to the case at the bar.
Does the statutes of the United
States giving the secretary Of the
interior certain direction, Wis, Sec.
2O5S, r. S. u. s., authorize him to
prescribe how the laws of the
Cherokee nation shall be carried
into force and effect, by rules and
regulations, when such laws them
selves prescribe a different method
of proceduref In other words,
can the secretary of the interior
make rules and regulations to car
ry into force and effect a Cherokee
law in a different manner, and by
a process different from that pre-
scribed by the law under which be
undertakes to act? Or, to put it
more strongly, canthe secretary Of
he interior, by rules and regula-
ions, amend the Cherokee statute
oy prescribing the mode Of its en-
orcement, and in that way assume
o exercise the powers Of congress
n that regard? It is the opinion
II the court that that power does
lot rest in the secretary Of the IN
erior' That The secretary Of the

ROGERS TAX CASE.
Judge Gill Renders Important
Decision.

W. PS~NAs"a a~"euiOOf "hu VIZ 10"
applicable thereto, is in an unsat-
isfactory condition. The matter,
reduced from the lengthy argu-
ment and presentation on either
side, resolves itself into two prin-
cipal questions.
First. Is there a traders tax
authorized by law, to be assessed
against and collected from a Cher
okee citizen, doing a general mer-
chandise business in the Cherokee
nation in the Indian Territory,
since the adoption of the Curtis
act on June 2S, 1898?
Second. If such tax is author
lied and collectable, does the law
authorize the interior department
to collect il?
/.
An examination of the Chero-
kee laws, Art. 2, entitled, "Trade
and intercourse" shows that such
trade and intercourse, and such
law, applied only to the Indian
citizen, and the only penalty for
the infraction of such law, was
punishment by tine or by fine
and imprisonment, as the same
should be found by the Cherokee
courts. No provision was made
in said article for the enforcement
OF the collection of the taxes other
than by fine or by fine and i'm
prisonment, TO be imposed in the
Cherokee courts, and in those
alone.
Section rs OF the Curtis bill abol-
ished all the tribal courts in the
Indian Territory, and prohibited
any officers of said courts from
performing any act heretofore
authorized by any law in connec-
tion with said courts. If the said
article 2, of the Cherokee laws is
to stand at all, as not being an
nulled and a valid law, it is one
which provides punishment for its
iniraction merely by fine, or by
fine and imprisonment, and by
this means alone, except that
where party fails to obtain a
receipt for tax and post it in his
place of business, as provided in
section $50 of said article, the
sheriff of the district is to close his
store, and report such offender,
that he may be proceeded against
criminally. A careful examina-
ton of the said article does not re-
veal any method whereby the Of
lenders goods may be reached, or
whereby any lien whatever is
created or attaches to the goods,
or whereby any punishment can
be inflicted upon the offending
party, except IN the Cherokee
COURTS
1t is rule well established that
all statutes imposing taxes are to
be followed strictly; that the man.
ner of paying the tax, time and
manner Of collection, and all the
means pointed out toward effect
ing the object to be attained,
the collection of the tax,
are to be followed with exactitude.
and a failure to follow the law,
either in the assessment or az to
the means to be used to collect il,
may upon resistance avoid the tax.
Il may be safely stated, in brief {
way, that the United States by
acts Of congress and treaties with 1
ihe Cherokees, gave to the Cher
,kees the right 10 regulate the in
ernal affairs Of the Cherokee ma {
ion, in respect to trade. a. 10 its j
lWn citizens. and that. acting

laws OF the Cherokee nation, was
in all respects, legal and in con-
formity with the rights Of the ma
tion in reference to taxing iis own
citizens doing business within its
boundaries, II may alsobe stated
without question, that the United
State has the authority at any
time, by statute, to alter and change
the laws of the Cherokee nation
in fact, congress has often exer-
cised this right, although at times
its power to do so has been ques-
toned. 1t may also be safely said
that the secretary OF the interior
and the commissioner of Indian
affairs, and the president, by va
rious acts of congress, have been
authorized to exercise at times
wide discretion in the control of
Indian affairs, and this has at all
times been exercised for the good
of the Indians themselves; and
where the secretary of the interior
or the commissioner of Indian af-
fnirs are given, under statute,
discretion with reference to carry
ing out it's provisions, they are the
sole judges of the use or abuse of
that discretion. But the secretary
of the interior and the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, must in
their action have behind them
some substantive law Of congress
upon which to base their action.
By the Act Of June 28, 1898, con-
gress took away the right Of the
Cherokee nation. as we'll as the
right Of the other tribes, with whom
agreements werenot consummated,
to exercise judicial functions
through their tribal courts; and,
consequently, took away from the
Cherokee nation all power to inn
pose the penalties prescribed in1
article 2, Trade and Intercourse,
with reference to the enforcing of
the collection of said revenue, and |
said nation is at this time, impo-
tent to enforce in any way the col
lection of said traders tax. 1t
might be said that, in view Of this
state of affairs. it was the moral
duty of congress to prescribe some
method whereby these revenues
could be collected, inasmpch as
they had rendered the nation pow
srless to collect them; but with the
question of morals this court has
nothing to do; nor has it anything
% do with the policy of the gov
srnment in relation to controlling
he Indian affairs. By said Curtis
)ill congress provided that this
Cherokee statute could not be en-
orced at law or in equity in the
United States courts. By said act
t authorized and directed as to
ents and royalties ON the leasing
# oil, coal, asphalt and other min
IraI lands in said territory, that
be secretary should make rules
nd regulations and collect all
moneys due, and provided that
else undertaking to col
ect such rents and royalties should
70 guilty Of a misdemeanor, but
owhere in said statute did it spe-
ifically authorize the secretary of
be interior to collect the taxes
ue under the laws Of the several
ations.

HERO OF TELEGRAPH KEY.
A Nervy Operator Who stuck u MS
Post with One Hana shot
Away.

A recent dispatch from Altoona. Pa
says: Howard Bowman, little more
than a boy in years, is the hero of
the hour. With one hand terribly
mangled, and weak from loss of blood.
he stuck to his post in the Pennsyl-
vania railroad signal tower at Garway
his uninjured hand at the key Of his
telegraph instrument. When assist
ance came, six hours later, the plucky
young operator collapsed.
The superintendent of the Cambria
and Clearfield division received 8 mes
sage from Bowman about nine o'clock
on Saturday morning, just after the
morning train up the mountain had
departed, asking that substitute be
sent up at once, as he had accidentally
shot off one of his hands. Bowman
was informed that the train had gone.
and that no help was available unless
an engine were sent up with an op-
orator aboard.
I "Don't send engine" was the quick
| response. Several freights coming
down. I'll stick to It till afternoon
train"
At three o'clock, when substitute
operator reached Garway, BowmAn
was PROSTATE on his desk, his blood
less face telling Of the pain he had
suffered. At sight of the relief nan
he sank back in his chair ID faint.
During the six hours that he nursed

pired.
For several days squirrel had been'
disporting himself on the boughs a.
a birch tree within stones throw of
Bowman's window. Bowman finally
borrowed an old shotgun, intending
to take shot at the squirrel. Not
being familiar with guns, he rammed
home double charge Of powder.
When the squirrel appeared again heI
fred at it. The gun. exploded neaT
the butt, and Bowman's left hand was|
almost carried away.
