CHOCTAW OFFICIALS KICK.
HARRISON THINKS DAWES CON-
MISSION PASSED THEM UP.
Seventy Six townships Yet to LIST
It is Suggested That ChOCtaws
and Chickasaws Want Al
lotments at Once,

In speaking of the Dawes Com
mission work of allotting in the
Choctaw and Chickasaw Nations
W. Ii. Harrison, Choctaw land ap
praiser, with the commission says
1t seems to me that the Dawes
commission is doing every thing in
their power to wind mp the allot'
meut of the lands in the Creek and
Cherokee nations, letting the al
lotment of our lands severely alone.
They have transferred all the land
appraisers to the Creek and Chero-
kee nations and finished the work
before finishing the sppraisement
Of our land, leaving six camps of
timber estimators to appraise and
estimate about 76 townships of
land and timber. which will be fin
ished about September 1st. They
have also transferred all the sub
division camps to the Cherokee
aud Creek nations, leaving the
subdivision Of our lands alone and
no protests have ever been made
by our chiet executive that | have
ever heard of.
The subdivision of our lands is
just as necessary to an early allot-
ment Of our lands as to the Greeks
and Cherokees. Why let them
transfer their subdivision camps
from the Choctaw and Chickasaw
nations before finishing the work
here and without a single protest?
Our chief executive may not be
aware of these facts, but such is
the case. Our people want their
lands allotted to them as soon as
practicable and not so much quib-
bling of technical law points by
the nations attorneys, The peo-
pie want to know further what the
nations attorneys have done in re-
gard to the fraudulent citizenship
cases. If the allotment of lands
does not commence soon we will
not get through with allotment be-
fore our eight years of tribal GOV
ernment expire. Then where will
we be' Or has the United States
government promised us more time
in which to wind up our business9
This delay is ruinous to our people
and country; let us have allotment
now, this year, not next year, and
close our rolls.

FOSBURd TRIAL ENDED.
Judge Iustruets Jury TO Return Ver-
dict OF Not Guilty.
ARDMoRE, /. 7

Pittsfield. Mass, July 27.-The
opening of the court today in the
Fosburg trial Judge Stevens in
structed the jury to bring in ver'
diet of not guilty, and this was
done, thus ending most sensation
al ease.
The jurymen did not leave their
seats. The verdict was received
with shouts of applause which the
court suppressed. The demonstra-
ton. however, was one of the most
remarkable that ever occurred in a
court OF justice.
When the Judge finished his in
structions the crowd in the court
room which included hundreds of
dfhe friends of the defendant, broke
into loud applause. When Fos-
burg was discharged the great
crowd rushed as one person to
shake the hand of the smiling
young man, and it was several
minutes before the court room was
cleared.
Young Fosburg was accused of
numbering his sister, who was
found murdered in her room last
August. The young mans family
sided with him, believing that the
murder was the work of robbers.
The young man was Harvard
student, and the family stood high
in social circles.

THE COTTON BELT RAILROAD
EMPLOYS UNIQUE SCHEME TO
SECURE RIGHT -0F-WAY.
T. A. Bounds as Agent Has Been
Purchasing the Allotments of
the Mississippi Choctaws,
Ordered to Stop Him.

South McAlester, 1T, July 81
Ii has at last developed that the
7. A. Bound scheme of buying the
rights of Mississippi Choctaws and
securing their allotments is a part
of plan of the Cotton Belt rail.
road, or more properly speaking
the Missouri Pacific, to secure
right. of way for north and south
railroad through the Indian Terri
tory, from point opposite Whites
boro, Texas. north into the Creek
Nation to connect with the Mis-.
souri, Pacific, probably at Wagner
or Claremore. A short time ego it
was announced that 7. A. Bounds
was locating and fencing up vast
tracts of land in the Choctaw Ma
ton, claiming to represent Mis-
sissippi Choctaws. Now undis-
puted proof has been furnished
that Mr.. Bounds is working for
the Cotton Belt railroad and it is
their money that is being used to
buy off the present settlers. Bounds
went among the Mississippi Choc-
taws and secured contracts from
about $50 of them to represent
them in this country. BY this con-
tract Bounds was empowered to
secure enrolment. allotments and
management of their estates. The
contracts also contained an implied
agreement to sell the land when
title was passed. In the meantime
the agents are to pay all expenses
and are to receive one fourth of all
rentals from such lands and one
half of all annuities, paying the
Mississippi Choctaws three-quar-
ter rentals and one-half anuuities.
With such contracts and unlimited
means Bounds has been buying off
men who are already located on
lands and will file on them for the
Mississippi Choctaws, for whom he
has power of attorney. The buy
ers are now in the neighhorhOod
of Celestine. Many of the deeds
of transfer from the present own.
ers are prepared in this city and
the payments are made through
the First National bank here. It
is ascertained that other men in
the employ of the same company
are working the same methods in
the Greek Nation.
Today Capt j. w. Ellis of the
Indian police, received instructions
from Indian Agent Schoenfelt to
take squad of police and 60 to
where Bounds is fencing up the
land and stop him. Further in
teresting developments are looked
for.
