INDIANS AFTER LANDS.
Scheme to Block the Drawings at III Reno
Fostered by Keo Tuck.

Fostered by Keo Tuck.
OKLAHOMA CITY. o, r., July 2S.-
Keo Tuck, a Sac Indian, has given
notice at the land office of El Reno
Of his intention to file on the quarter
section of the land ADJOINING the town
site of Lawton, which has become the
principal town in the new country Of
the Kiowa and Comanche reservation.
This Is probably the most valuable
tract out Of the entire 1900 to be
opened. The application is made
under a section OF the United States
statutes passed in 1887. which gives
every homeless Indian the right to go
to any part Of the public domain and
to make entry for any tract of land
that is not in possession of a home
steader The section has never been
repealed, and the right of the Indians
who have no allotments or who were
omitted from the tribal rolls is one
that they can exercise at any time, It is
stated. With Keo Tuck were sixty
members OF Sac and Fox Tribes, who
propose to make filings, and attorneys
throughout the country are said TO be
searching for other Indians who have
lost their tribual relations and who
have not secured possession of home
stead tracts. 1t is believed that there
are 500 in the two tribes who can Sc
cure choice claims in advance OF
ones who have registered by simply
making their filings. The plan is to
select the lands they desire. and then
go into court and ask for a restraining
order TO prevent the registrars and
receivers from accepting filings on the
tracts selected. This will, IL success
ful. give the Indians time to perfect
their title to the best quarter sections
OF land in the new country.

COunterfeiters Run Little Risk and
Make Good Margin on Gem
uine Coins.

To pass a counterfeit 81 900 bill is
an extremely difficult undertaking,
because the very size of it invites close
inspection, but counterfeit cents will
pass about as fast as you hand them
out, even in banks, under the eyes Of
experts, for their insignificant size dis
arms suspicion. This fact is being
very strongly impressed on the Off
GERS of the national subtreasury, who
are now in receipt of an immense num-
Der of these humble little counter
feits, says the Chicago Tribune.
About 500 of these little bogus coins
are arriving at the subtreasury daily,
and the April report shows that 10, 16s
counterfeit cents were received out
of total of 373, $40; yet the secret
service men are not able to locate the
counterfeiters. 1t is found that the
counterfeit cents are growing more
and more like the genuine ones, as
practice is making perfect, and it is
often with difficulty that they are dis
tinguished.
A strange feature of the business is
that the bogus cents are intrinsically
worth as much as the genuine ones.
They have the right quantity and
quality of metal in them, bear the
proper image and superscription, and
yet represent only II cents, in value,
to the pound, while a pound of similar
coins, struck at the United States
mint, are legal tender for s1.2O. The
