Editor Eagle. Wichita: From the in-

Guthrie, o. T, May 30.-Au over the
great territory Of Oklahoma, pursuant
to the proclamation Issued by Governor
Barnes just before he was relieved from
the duties Of his Office by the new COVER
nor, Decoration Day was observed The
day was cloudy and gloomy in most
places, but in spite OF that condition,
the day was observed just the same
Almost every city and town in the terri
tory had programs prepared. Speeches
were made, parades moved, bands played
and the memory of the old soldier was
again called to the front. As the years
pass by, and the heroism OF the men
who fought and died for their country
are called. the younger generation in
stead of forgetting the fact, are glad of
the opportunity OF doing honor to the
nations dead in the most appropriate
manner
In most Oklahoma towns the stores were
closed. The banks did not open for bus
mess and the day was q quiet holiday
in every line of business. The speakers
were selected from the most respected
Of the territory's citizens. The remarks
presented by these speakers were listened
to with the attention characteristic of
the splendid audiences which turn out
on any occasion of this kind to partici-
pate in the general exercises.
In the capital city the stores were dec
GRATED. Not as much as they might
have been, but yet enough to show that
the day was well recognized. Notices
were placed on the locked doors stating
that the business Of the day was con-
cluded in honor Of the dead Of the great
nation, of which Oklahoma is a part. The
streets were lively. 1t was a crowd,
however, which had the holiday appear
ance. The citizens were glad OF the op-
portunity Of mingling with one another
and TO talk over the progress OF
year. It was not boisterous lot OF peo-
pie which thronged the streets at times.
for it seemed more like Sunday than any
week day.
The graves Of the dead were not for
gotten. Early IN the morning carriages
and traps were to be seen going 20 the
cemetery with flowers and wreaths. Kind
hands placed these floral tributes on the
graves. In many cases tears mingled
with the roses and grasses as some one

LOCATION
SATISFIED
INDIANS
That's What Governor Rich
ards Says TO Correspondent
C0FIDENCE IN RANDLETT
Pastures Couldn't Have Been
Located Better
COFIDENCE IN RANDLETT

Mountain View. o. T, Nay sL-Gover-
nor Richards came into Mountain View
today from trip through the Wichita
mountains and was asked by your cores
pondent in regard TO the probability Of
relocating the 10000 acres of pasture land
in the Kiowa. Comanche and Apache IN
dian reservations. "I have not as yet re-
ceived any Instructions in this matter"
said the governor. These lands were 10
Gated to the satisfaction Of the Indians
at the time and do not believe there
was an. crooked work done IN their Sc
lection. There is no doubt that the large
pasture of 4o0, 010 acres was located an
the Red river with view Of leasing it.
1t VIII bring . cents an acre or 100000
a year That is more than the Indians
would make out Of the entire reservation
If they used it themselves This money
VIII be distributed per capita and all VIII
share equally in the benefit If the land
is used in common by the Indians those
rich enough to have cattle would receive
the benefit and the poor Indian without
any cattle would receive nothing. 1 have
the utmost confidence in Agent Randlett
and believe he has only the welfare Of
the Indians at heart in this matter. He
called them in and consulted their wishes
before locating the pastures. The other
50 900 acres are divided up into smaller
pastures and distributed at various
points in the reservation. do not know
whether the pastures could have been
located to better advantage or not, but
they were located according to the wishes
OF the Indians themselves"
Governor Richards viii go from here
to Anadarko, and as soon as the work of
alloting is completed viii report on the
locations Of county lines and county
seats. The reports that he has already
located some of the townsites is incor-
rect. Speaking Of this matter, the gov
ernor said: 1T is not likely that the in
formation in regard TO the locating Of
county seats or the establishment of
county lines viii be given out until the
presidents proclamation is issued. The
number of allotments in different parts
Of the reservation VIII be taken into con-
sideration in determining the size Of the
counties. Where the auotments are the
thickest the counties should be the larg-
est, as no revenue will be derived from
the a1lotments I'm the way of taxation
for twenty-five years The land taken
by settlers VIII mostly be decided within
I'VE years and win contribute to the rev.
enue for maintaining a county govern
ment."
The governor will not express an opin-
ion as to the manner Of opening the res
ervation, but points out the act Of March
g. 1901, which makes it the duty OF the
president to provide a manner OF opening
that viii avoid the contests and con-
nicting claims which have heretofore re-
suited from opening similar public lands

fnence that the case now has VIII have
much to do with this condition OF az
fairs. And again because Of the fact
that Sharpe is so well connected this VIII
draw attention from the people OF the
territory. The case is in such condi-
ton now, that If Sharpe IS convicted he
cannot appeal Enough OF the judges Of
the territory have been disqualified or
have had the case up that il the convic-
ton does come, Sharpe cannot have re-
course to an appeal.
This fact in itself would be discourag-
ing to the defendant in the bribery case
This is probably not the first time that
bribes have been offered IN connection
with the leasing Of Indian lands, but it is
the first time that a similar case has
come up in recent years. Had the IN
dictment been declared void by Judge
Burwel. Sharpe could not have been
brought TO trial, because Of the fact that
the statues OF limitation would have been
effective in the case.
II seems strange. after close observa-
tion of Sharpe, that he should be in such
a close position. He is a man OF medium
height. He has every appearance OF be-
ing a business man and OF having asso-
ciated with men ready to take every ad-
vantage possible. Sharpe dresses well.
but is very quiet At the hearing in Per-
~, Sharpe did not converse with any one
20 any extent except 20 his attorneys and
close friends As a matter Of fact Sharpe
appeared 70 be worried This appear
ance Of worry deepened as the hearing
progressed and it gave the impression
that he had a feeling that the case was
going against him.
There seemed to be an air about the
man that he had resigned his fate TO his
and that he would leave them
10 make the battle which viii keep him
out Of the penitentary If successful.
If the case comes to trial there win be
a great array OF legal talent. The case
for the United States viii be in charge
Of two of the best prosecutors the ter
ritory has ever seen These men are
United States District Attorney Speed,
and his assistant, B. z. Mcclure. These
men have worked up every detail of the
case and the opposition wiz have a battle
on their hands IL they clear their client.
On the other hand Judges Bierer and
Harris wiz conduct the defense, and It is
not disputed that these men are in the
front ranks of the Oklahoma bar.
