PROTEST NEVER SIGNED.
Has the Appearance Of an Whole
sale Forgery.
WHO PUT UP EXPENSE MONEY!

Washington, June 24.-It is now
well understood in Washington how
the signatures were secured to the
memorial which Delos Lone Wolf
brought here. Delos, who was farm
er on the reservation at $50 month,
left for Washington without permits
sion of the agent, to accompany his
uncle, Lone Wolf, on his expedition in
search of a method of holding up the
opening. He was promptly reported
to headquarters and discharged.
The Indians found themselves with
out the least authority on their arrival
here and Delos was sent back to the
reservation to secure authority to hire
n lawyer, or at least to bring suit. He
called on Agent Randlett to summon a
council. Randlett complied, but less
than 100 Indians responded. Some
fifty or sixty was the number who
appeared; but among them the chiefs
were conspicuous by their absence.
The agent informed the Indians that
they were at liberty to go ahead with
the protest. but they must sign the
memorial in his presence, to enable
him to certify to the department under
his instructions that the signatures
were genuine. Not an Indian signed,
and the council adjourned for that
day, to meet again the next. The In
dams did not return, however, and the
agent was ignorant of what had taken
place until it was announced that 456,
the necessary thrce-fourths had signed
the memorial. There is nothing on
record to show that the names are not
forgeries and the delegation here has
no standing in law. What is pulling
the department officials is the question
who supplied the large delegation with
money to travel to Washington and the
fee wherewth to hire attorneys.

Manner Of DRAWING FIXED.
Homes Secured by Drawing IN
Place of the Horse Race.
NO DELAY OF THE OPENING,

Washington, June 2i.-What has
heretofore been mere matter of spec
ulation relative to the method to be
adopted in opening the Indian lands
in Oklahoma to settlement is now the
fixed decision of the department. The
old horse race will be done away with,
and in its place will be tried suitable
method of letting the public select the
lands by drawing. Assistant Com
missioner of the Genera. Land Office
Richards recommends plan which
which an applicants name, address
and other needed information is writ
ten. He is given one slip and the
duplicate is folded and sealed in an
envelope and deposited iii a box,
which, when every entry has been
sealed, is sent to Washington. Each
envelope is numbered consecutively, as
received, and each applicant, regard
less of the number who apply, is given
one of the numbered slips of paper
All the envelopes in the box are then
shaken up and drawing takes place
The first number out entities the hold
Ell of the number corresponding with
the number in the envelope to the first
selection of land. the second next, and
so on till as many numbers have been
drawn as there are quarter sections of
land, probably $500. All in excess
of that number draw nothing.
Whatever the plan adopted, it has
been decided that it will be clearly
set forth in the presidents proclama-
ton, together with all other details
touching the subject. 1t is, therefore,
expected that the proclamation will be
an unusually long one
1t can be stated with all possible
emphasis that the secretary of the
interior is determined to pay no fur
Their attention to the recalcitrant In
dams, but to go on with the opening
without the least delay

LOCATION OF BIG PASTURES
Does Not Please the Citizens OF Duncan.
Indian Territory.

Washington, June 24.-The interior
department has received the last batch
of allotments made in the Wichita
reservation.
Judge Gullette and Mr.. Gilbert, of
Duncan, /. T., are here trying to in
duce the department officials to con-
sent to change in the location Of the
big pasture in the Kiowa reservation
located opposite Duncan, which, it is
claimed, shuts Duncan off from all
contact with the newly opened coun-
try They were escorted to the de-
partment by Delegate Flynn. The
prospects of an alteration in the loca-
tion are practically nil. The Oklahoma
delegation is hopeful of converting a
part of the Wichita mountains into a
national park. If the location can be
made without violation of law, it is
thought that the efforts in that direc-
ton will be successful. The matter is
now under investigation.

A Now Way to Assess Property for
Taxation.

Topeka, June 22.-The state tax
revision commission is at work on the
bill revising the tax system OF the
state.
The only part of the bill which has
yet been agreed upon is the provision
in regard to the manner of assessing
property. There will be a change
from the system formerly used. The
work of assessing the property will be
under the supervision OF county as
SCISSORS who will be elected for term
af four years and be ineligible for re-
