Right in His Denial.

Washington, Aug. 27.-Judge Barnard OF
the supreme court OF the District CT Col
umbia today decided the case Of Willis
West VS.. the secretary Of the interior in
favor of the government. This is one OF
eleven cases recently brought by persons
claiming rights 10 aHotments in the In
dian lands in Oklahoma territory re-
Gently ceded by the Kiowa and other In
dian tribes. the claimants being for the
most part white men and women who
have married Indians They sought 10
secure writs OF mandamus compelling the
secretary 10 recognize their sections
Judge Barnard sustained the demurrer of
the secretary and ordered the dismissal
of the petition. He said in effect that
in such a proceeding as that involving
the opening and allotment Of Indian res
ervations the law required the exercise OF
judicial discretion on the part OF the sec
reary and that the court would not in
terfere with the exercise OF such privl-
ege by an executive officer The court
voluntarily remarked that If he had been
in the secretary's position he would have
pursued the same course that the secre-
tary has pursued in refusing recognition
to these claimants

WILL Be GREAT
South McAIester Is Figuring on Su =
burbau Electric Car Line.

South McAlister, 1. T., Aug. 27.-The
Daily Capital says:
Residents of this city and adjoining
towns win be pleased to learn that it
appears to be quite probable that the day
is not far distant when the people of
Krebs and Anderson may come to South
McAlister in a comfortable car propelled
by electricity.
w. E. Hazeltine Of New York has been
in the city for some days investigating
the situation with a view of instituting an
electric car line from this city to McAlis-
ter, thence to Krebs and Anderson and
on to Buck and Cherryvale.
Mr.. Hazeltine's plan. in case he finally
decides to take the matter up. will be to
build his line from this city to McAlister
and thence east to the limits OF that
town at once. providing. of course. that
the city fathers of this place and old
town will grant reasonable franchises.
and then cease the work of construction
until the consent Of the federal authori-
ties for the balance OF the route can be
obtained.
A road OF this nature would be Of i'm
mense advantage to this city and to all
of the people along the line. and everyone
should give the project ali the encourage
ment possible.
Mr.. Hazeltine and his eastern associ-
ates are men of ample capital, business
experience and energy, and their estab-
lishement of an electric car line here
would be but the opening wedge. Mr..
Hazeltine has already given an evidence
Of his faith in our city by purchasing.
through the Rawlins-Lounsbery Realty
company. two houses and lots on the
north side.

COURTS MUSI DECIDE
Whether Alleged Members cf Tribe
Shall Have Allotment

Guthrie, o. T, Aug. 27.-Assistant
United States District attorneys b. S.
Mcclure and J. ". Ssothorn arrived in
this city this morning from Fl Reno,
where they appeared before JUICE Gin
ton E. Irwin in the matter OF having a
temporary restraining order set aside that
had been granted by the probate judge Of
Canadian county in the absence OF the
presiding judge Of that county.
The restraining order grew out of the
case Of Rebecca Young and twenty-seven
others, claiming 10 be members of the
Kiowa tribe Of Indians, and TO whom al
lotments had been refused by the depart
ment Of the interior. THESE claimants at
once began suit to compel the general
government to grant them allonents,
ana the restraining order Of the probate
judge enjoined anyone from fling on the
lands claimed by the plaintiffs. thus tying
UP over 100 of the best claims in the
reservation. Applications were daily
made to file on these lands by holders Of
drawing numbers, and the matter was
taken up as soon as Judge Irwin got
home, to fix the status Of the alleged al
lottees and the homesteaders.
After hearing the arguments Of counsel
for the government. and also for the
cllmants. who were represented by law
firms from all parts of Oklahoma and IN
dian territory, Judge Irwin modified the
restraining order so as to allow home
steaders to fls on the tract of land in
dispute, subject to the rights of the claim
ants. TO he determined by the courts. in
suits to test their rights to alIotments in
the nation.
This settles a vexatious matter for the
present. and leaves the whole conten-
tion to be handled by the courts. a propo-
sition that was bound to come up sooner
or later The h0mesteader viii get his
filing on the claim he desires. and the
claimants VIII then ask the court to de-
clares a resulting trust as soon as title
passes, and that the lands be decreed to
them. ana that the homesteader be COM
PEELED TO make a deed of the same 70
them. IF they win this viii be ordered;
if the homesteader comes out victorious,
the matter viii be fully settled, and he
viii retain his possession.
