No Hunting Permits

WASHINGTON: Secretary Hitchcock
has instructed the Indian agent at Musk
ogee to issue no permits for bunting in
the Indian territory. This is a new con-
struction of the law and some of those
conversant with its provisions declare
that the secretary is mistaken, as the
law was only intended to apply to
Indian reservations. The Indian terri
tory has been the Mecca of sportsmen
from Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Texas
and Oklahoma, and the new order will
be unMelcome news.
