South NcAlester, l. T., April 17.-Nel-
vim Cornish returned from washington
today, where he had been for the past
three weeks with Governor Johnson of
the Chiekasaws, but particularly on bus
mess connected with the Chickasaw
schools.
The Chickasaws have a fund received
from royalties on asDhaltum in the sum
of 900 now in the hands Of the United
States government. Inspector Wright
took the position that before this money
could be paid out the government should
have control OF the schools. Governor
Johnson would not agree to this. main
tanning that the schools are q part OF
tribal government. continued for a num-
Der of years under the Atoka agreement.
Thus the controversy has stood for
number Of years and the money has piled
up in the hands of the government, and
the Chickasaw schools have been de-
prived of the use Of it. Governor John
son made many appeals to the govern
ment to modify its extreme posi@on in
regard to the control Of the schools, but
to no avail.
Mr.. Cornish reports that at last Cover
nor Johnson has been successful and that
rules and regulations have been drawn
and signed by the governor and the sec
rotary Of the interior providing that the
royalty funds now in tne hands of the
government shall be paid out on Chicka-
saw school warrants and that it shall
continue to be so paid out, and that the
schools are to remain under the control
Of the tribal laws. Ia addition. the gov
ernOr agrees that all teachers shah be ex-
amined by a board. TO be appointed by
him, to be composed of four members.

We're on the north side Of the river be-

They first thought it was a cayote.
Lowe crept TO the top of hill over

to within fifteen PAGES of the animal
Just as the cat was about 10 spring at
Knlion. Lowe fred and lodged a charge
of No. 4 buckshot back of The fore-shoul-

at Killion, passing in front of him and
falling dead almost at his feet.
The animal is the largest or ever seen
IN this country. and the only one seen
in this vicinity for several years.
The boys are having the hide dressed

WHO WILL

Mr.. JENKINS
That Is the Question Now
Among OklahOmans.
HOUSTON Is MENTIONED

VIII Want It.
HOUSTON IS MENTIONED

Guthrie, O. T.. April There has been
much speculation in political circles re-
garding the man who viii succeed the
newly appointed governor. VIM. NJ. Jen-
kins. in his Office as secretary Of the ter
ritory. Nothing is definitely known about
the matter or who has the best chance
for landing the place.
The name Of William Grimes is men
toned more frequently than any other,
but there is some question about the
ability Of Crimes to land. The interview
given out by Delegate Flynn that Grimes
was not candidate for the place at that
tirle gives the impression that Crimes
VIII not attempt It, AIr. Flynn did not
state. however, that Grimes would not be
candidate later on and many Of the ter
ritorial politicians believe that he viii be
a candidate when he returns from Wash
inetcn.
There IS a feeling among the politicians
tbat Grimes should not be q candidate for
the secretaryshio. owing to the fact that
De- IS row the national committeeman and
that he received the vote of many Repub-
leans thinking that he would not be a
candidate FOR an ONCE as long as he held
this position. This might work against
Crimes If ne has any tendency toward
trying for the territorial secretaryship..
The friends of Assistant Secretary J. J.
Houston nave been asking him to declare
h.msaIf as o. candidate 20 succeed MT
Jenllns These friends feel that on ac-
count of the ability and experience which
Fir. Houston possesses he should havve
Che position and that his services have
been so satisfactory to both the officers
ana the party that he is deserving Of a
promotion BIr. Houston does not state
what he win Go about the matter. and it
may be possible that no candidates for
the position VIII announce themselves
until after the return of the oklahoma
delegation from washington. The posi-
ton of secretary Of tho territory is one Of
the best paying Offices In the territory
and the politicians figure that it is worth

has any. reasonable show for success.
