AGAINST
THE GRAF TER
"NO AIlottee Shall
Sell, Dispose of
or Encumber.'

Judge G. w. Raymond, OF the
Western District of the Indian
Territory, has settled q much dis
cussed question as TO what atti-
tude the courts would take il an
Indian citizen OF the Greek nation
should attempt to disregard the
provisions Of the treaty with the
United States--which says that
"No allotlee shall sell dispose OF
or cucumber his land" except that
he might sell all ms lands except
his homestead, upon the approved
of such sale by the Secretary OF
the interior.
This decision is 10 the effect
that any contract OF sale Is abso.
lutely void uniess made 10 con.
iormity with the law.
In view OF the fact that many
parties al Muskogee had defed
the law and taken warranty deeds
ouyight from Greek citizans, eincs
the recent new rcgulauuus werr
made regarding sucn sales, this
decision IS important, as |. nulli
tieu all those contracts.
This decision is Of interest in
the Cherokee nation because prac
uoally the same law Is 10 foro'
here a- n The Creek country reIa
w. u the sale at allotments.
Thus one ny one these question:
oi the status Of the Indian are be
log defped by me cnuf,s--anC
scores OF others will have to b,
made.

RAPID WORK.
Dismissal of Several
Federal Officials
Predicted.

A Muskogee dispatch oi'the 2lst
to:lhe Oklahoma City Oklsheman
contains much that will be inter-
esting. The celebrity with which
the department Of justice inspec.
tors have acted, the dispatch
stases, has stimulated the hope
that Mr.. Bonapsrte's work will
also be pushed and that results
may be expected this fall. The
work Of the judiciary inspectors
has been largely as to the doings
Of the land companies, and based
on this hDe Of work. They are
said TO have made gut strong cases
against the officials. Joe Mccoy
Is marked for dismissal.
In the case Of Pliny soper, .
slookholder and director in the
Tribal Development company Of
rishomingo. a similar recomrnen.
dation will be made. The case Of
soper is aggravated By his being

ment Of afiairs here on the head
Of tho interior department.
