SHOCKING DEATH
OF Pretty LO.; Gregory a Six Year
Old Child.

Loie, the six.year-old daughter
Of Newton Gregory, was burned to
death Monday at her home on
Grand River about u miles from
the city.
The little girl was playing with
a companion shortly after dinner
when they decided to build a bon
fire. A spark soon ignighted the
hay in a nearby stack and the
children attempted TO extinguish
the blaze. In doing so Loie's
dress caught fire and her mother,
being attracted by her frantic
screams, ran TO her babe's assist
ance. The crazed child ran as fast
as she could in an opposite direc.
lion until she fell. When Mrs.
Gregory reached her the little
ehild's clothes were nearly totally
burned and the poor little girl lay,
the charred aud baked flesh about
her body and limbs quiverirg,
moaning in awful agony. Death
soon relieved her terrible suffering.
Newton Gregory, the child's
father, is we'll known and re-
specled farmer, who comes to vi.
nita nearly every Saturday to
trade. Little Loie came frequent
Up with her father and was known
to nearly every store-keeper and
clerk in town. She was noiicea.

and grace and Il was a delight to
pet the little one in order to see
her large, dark eyes dance in that

dark and large for her age, with
clear, olive coloring, while her
smooth black hair, hanging in
short braids, swept back from o
brow calm with all the loveliness

fection Of her relatives.

THE TRUE DIRECTORS

Before the election for the rati-
fication Cf the Cherokee treaty be-
comes a matter of history the out
side world should know the rea-
sons the Cherokee people have for
its rejection. The story that has
gained currency that the big land
monopolists are the chief object
ors standing in the way OF the
treaty is as Ear from the truth %
the east is from the west. Those
who favor the treaty in this Sec
tion are almost without exception
excessive land holders. IL has
been freely stated also that the
common Indian was opposed to
any change and would vote down
any treaty that could be presented.
This is utterly false as is abund.
antly proven by the vote on the
treaty made at Muskogee and
voted on in the winter Of 1899.
That treaty was carried by a vote
Of more than three to one, but the
standard oil company was too
much for il when it reached Wash
inglon for it was amended 80 as to
revive the leases, and otherwise
garbled, and finally set aside. The
rejection OF that treaty cannot be
properly charged to the Cherokees.
The real reasons for the rejection
OF this treaty can be traced to the
greed and avarice OF outside inter.
ests. The unseemly interest the
Dawes commission and other gov.
eminent officials are now taking in
forcing this measure upon the
Cherokee Indians is the shame OF
the government they represent.
Indian chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1882-1902, 1901-04-25

how the Companies would receive
any benefit if the treaty is rati-
fed, and not simply say yes, it
it does make a difference, as the
mineral clause in the amended
treaty says in plain English, so
any school boy can understand it
that, nothing in this act contained
shall be held or construed to
change, alter, modify or impair
any existing coal or oil rights
heretofore acquired by lease loca-
tion or otherwise.
Now, if it stopped there, there
would be a little chance for there
to be a negro IN the wood pile, but
it goes on and says:
Or TO satisfy, confirm, organize
or validate such rights.
According to my judgment and
honest way OF oomprehending the
above article is, that it means just
what it said. II it does, we must
admit that ratifying the treaty
would not give the mineral com.
panies any more or better right
than to defeat the treaty. If so, !
will have to be showed before
can see the difference.
Judge c. says the legality Of the
leases will not have to bs settled
in court. most assuredly say It
will, tor is it not fact the federal
courts Of the country are recog.
nizing and protecting these very
same mir eral companies in their
leases with the Cherokees today
and have been ever since2 They
were made by the Cherokees and
approved by the secretary of the
interior and will continue to pro.
tect them until the expiration OF
their lease, provided they comply
with their contract whether the
amended agreement is ratified OF
not. | think every citizen who
votes against the pending treaty
votes against his own interest,
Judge G. said If the treaty was
ratified il would be the supreme
law OF the land. We admit thai
as far as 1t goes 1t would be the
supreme law but il does not 20 fal
enough TO change the mineral
leases one way or the other. He
also said II defeated the mineral
leases are Of no effect. How in
the name Of reason would defeat.
ing the treaty annul the leases7
It's ratify the treaty or take the
next worst, which is the Curtis
law, and 30 far as me aud my fam.
lily are concerned / would rather
have forty acres under the treaty
now pending than to have eighty
under the Curtis law, as the Curtis
law reserves everything In the way

my family, give US the pending

time has not expired and congress
did annul The Cherokee laws,
there is a legal question as to
whether or not they annulled
those leases, and if they only had
10 or 20 years lease, as Judge
Cochran said, pray tell me what
the 18th article in the amended
treaty has TO do with these leases7
Providing it is ratified. Judge G.
