DAMAGING RUMORs.
Many People Misunderstood the
Puipose of the Dawes Com
mission Here.

During the setting of the Dawes
commission in Ghickasha last week
ell kinds of rumors gained cIrcula-
tiJn as their purpose here, and
what they we're doing. Many err
roneousIy believed that the COM
mission had the power to strike
from the rolls any person they
happened 10 desire, and based up
on the supposition, damaging re-
ports we're circulated concerning
certain well known Chickasha men
who are Indian citizens and who
have been on the rolls of the two
tribes for years. Among the ru-
mors may be cited as an instance
the one effecting Mr.. j. 5. Askew,
a well known young man. 1t was
currently reported that his name
had been stricken from the rolls,
and rejected, thus barring him from
any share in the allotment Of IT.
dian lands. The report is palpably
false, and does Mr.. Askew great
injury and injustice. The com
mi ssion has no power to 'reject"
any body. They are not gwen
the power of a judge, jury Or
court, and could not strike any
persons name from the rolls, how
ever much they desire 10 do SO.
Their powers and limitations are

There was dutter of expectancy as
