we think that Mcclure will make a
splendid showing in the county. and I
have heard Democrats say that they will
vote for the Republican candidate for
congress this fall. They figure that it
is business campaign, and as they
want statehood they feel that they must

FOR TERROR" TO BAD MEN
and salary Of Jim ThOmp-
son are TO Be Paid Undoubtedly.

Guthrie, o. T., August 12.-Requisitions
for over $500 have been forwarded TO
Washington to be approved by the inte-
rior department for the salary and ex-
penses Of the sheriff Of Caddo county
This official is Jim Thompson. known all
over the new country as a terror TO bad
men. At one time there was a ruling
in the department that the sheriffs ac-
counts could not be paid out of the funds
derived from the sale Of government
town lots one year ago. This greatly
handicapped the sheriff, as his office IS
a very expensive one. He was forced
to go to the banks to secure funds TO
defray the expenses OF his office The
situation was finally explained to the
officials IN Washington and the state
ment was made that the expenses of
the official IN Caddo county could be
paid out Of the funds derived from lot
sales. The accounts were forwarded
to Governor Ferguson and approved by
him. They were then sent to Washing
ton, and it is anticipated that within a
short time reply will be received relative
to their disposition.
Caddo county has been at much ex-
pense in taking care OF the lawless
characters. Two officers lost their lives
in this work and the men doing the
deed have not been apprehended, al
though some OF the gang have been
rounded up.

tons for allotment were rejected by
Secretary Hitchcock. at the tint OF the
opening OF the Wichita reservation last
August The cases are now submitted
to the court on their merits. il viii be
remembered that last fall Willis J. West
and some fourteen others brought man
dsnus proceedings against Secretary
Hitchcock TO compel him 10 enroll them
as members OF the tribe and 20 allot
them lands in severalty. When the case
was called Secretary Hitchcock demurred
10 the Jurisdiction OF the court. holding
the question involved was one requiring
executive discretion and was not Of
ministerial nature, OF which the judicial
branch of the government could take
cognizance. lie also contended that tht
secretary OF the interior had at all times
exclusive control over the question OF
adoption into the various Indian tribes
and the action Of an Indian nation in
adopting white people as members was
null and void unless approved BY the
secretary OF the interior.
These cases are Of particular Importance
owing 10 the fact that the lands Sc
leeted by the petitioners in the Wichita
homesteaders and are among the most
valuable quarter sections in the Wichita
country. At the time the reservation was
thrown optn the officials OF the interior
department took the precaution 20 serve
notice on settlers that they could settle
on the quarter sections In dispute. sub
jeot TO the decision OF the court. II the
court holds that the Indian tribes can
establish their own membership and the
approval OF the secretary OF the interior
Is not necessary, as. is indicated by the
former decision. then the homesteader
must vacate the land upon which they
have settled In favor or the petitioners.
The question involved is an exceedingly
important one. as il viii operate a prece-
dent for the guidance OF future secTe-
taries Of the interior.

CANDY GOES BACK TO FIELD
War Between cattIemen and Home
steaders Must Cease.

Guthrie, O. T, August R.-Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal J. P. Candy, who has
been working IN Dewey and other western
counties. looking after troubles between
cattIemen and settlers. held confer
ence with the United States officials
here today. Mr.. Candy came in from
Dewey county last night, bringing a pris-
oner with him He was unable to serve
five of his warrants, and desired to ask
for advice. He left this afternoon for the
western part of the territory. 1t is not
the intention of the United States officers
to remain quiet in the matter, and the re-
naming warrants in the hands of officers
will be served. They are for cattlemen,
ana it is believed that by arTesting the
leading cattlemen Of the county who are
charged with intimidating settlers, much
Of the agitation can be brought to d
standstil.
Just how these warrants win be served
is not known, but 1t is believed that the
officers will watch their chances and
serve the warrants without attracting
any attention. Owing TO the fact that
the cattlemen are watchig for trouble. it
would be unwise to attempt TO force
unless there was a reasonable
number Of men in the marshals force.
If the arresting OF a number of cattle
men viii not stop the trouble over the
free range and herd law proposition,
more drastic in effect will be
used. 1t may mean that many of the
catuemen and settlers will be arrested
and placed under bond to preserve peace,
with tie hope that such an action on the
part of the United States officers will
stop the trouble
