THE INDIAN LAND OPENING.
Seer ,t.ry Hi, chcock VIII be Ready to Meet
the Disgruntled Obstruc-
tionists.

Washington, July 24.-Secretary
Hitchcock said with reference to the
effort to prevent the opening OF the
Oklahoma Indian lands to settlement
by injunction proceedings at FL Reno
that the preparations of the depart
ment for the opes.ing would proceed
as though no suit had been begun.
1--WE shall not let the matter go by
default" he said, but we apprehend
no obstacle from that proceeding.
Anyone can bring a suit
An Absurd Proposition.
The secretary took cognizance OF
reports coming from Oklahoma that
men who are registering at Reno and
Fort Sill are doing so with the inten-
ton of transferring their rights to
others. 1.-THE report" he said, lis to
the effect that they can and will dis
pose of their numbers at enormous
profits. That is absurd, because it is
impossible, under the regulations, for
them to transfer their rights. For
any of them to attempt to do so would
be a clear violation of the law. They
take an oath not to do such thing,
and to use their rights for their own
exclusive benefit. There can be no
speculation in these numbers"
Alleged Town Site Schemes.
The secretary also said that reports
are coming to the department of
schemes for disposing of numerous
town sites, the promoters offering
chances to the public. "The only town
sites which have been authorized" the
secretary said, "are those of the three
county seats. No others have been
sanctioned, and no one knows where
others will be. Hence all except those
three are bogus, and reports of their
establishment should be denounced as
intended to deceive the public"
Auction plan Not Feasible.
Referring to the suggestion that the
new lands should be sold at auction,
and the proceeds of the sale turned
over to the Indians, the secretary
said:
"These lands are as much govern
ment property as are any other part
of the public domain. They have been
purchased from the Indians and title
is no longer in them, Hence the plan
is not feasible. Moreover, it would
not be wise if practicable for if the
lands were put up at auction they all
would fall into the hands of men with
money, and the poor man would have
no chance whatever. Under the pres
ent plan all have equal rights regard
less of conditions of wealth, and that
this fact is recognized is made evi.
dent by the large number taking ad.
vantage of the opportunity for regis
tration."
The registration will close at 6 p.
IN. on the Goth.

Mystery on the Mississippi

A dispatch from Memphis says:
The police are in receipt of informa-
ton from Laconia, Ark. which indi-
Gates the robbery of trading boat
and mouse boat found tenantless in
the Mississippi river at that point, and
the possible murder Of the former oc-
cupants. The boat had been stripped
clean except few tools and a small
quantity of groceries. The only things
found that could give clue to the
identity OF their former tenants were
q photograph of the boat with pictures
of three men, two women and a baby
and some papers in box referring to
M. F. Vogus. As the boats are OF
considerable value 1t is not thought
possible they were abandoned by the
owners.
