Build New School Houses.

Shawnee, o. r., Jan. 3l--Among other
important matters now being considered
for the betterment of the people of the
city is that of building two or more good
school houses and while no builders have
teen consulted or plans considered, it
has been suggested that when the build
ing matter is taken up that good ocm-
modious, up-to-date houses will be de-
cided upon, the probable cost of which
WILL be about $1,000 each.
AS a matter of fact these buildings must
be erected and that matter being upper
most i'm the minds of some of the citi-
zens for some time they have been cast
ing about for the best means of fur
nishing these much needed Improvements
and as result, a Quill reporter was
informed this morning that a movement
was on foot through which the sale of
proceeds of the sale of that valuable pro-
perty be devoted to the erection of these
buildings and some of the oldest and
most influential citizens of Shawnee are
behind IL.
They suggest that now that the city
is TO have electric car lines leading to
the different suburbs, a park site in the
heart of the town has become less nee
essary from the fact that just as de-
sirable places of recreation can be reached
by a few minutes ride over the electric
line.
Whether or not the proposition will be
favorably considered Is a matter Yet to
be decided by the people. but the Quill
publishes the reported movement in order
that it may be given general considera-

AMEND THE GAME LAW.
Petition Circulated in Enid Asking
Support of the Bill.

Enid, O. T., Jan. 3l.-A bill was intro
duced in the council which amends the
game laws so that the indiscTiminate
slaughter of prairie chickens and quaiis
will be impossible The bill provides,
among other things, that the time Tor
shooting quaiis shall be changed from
October 10 to February 10, the present
limit to from November l to February /,
an dthat prairie chickens many only be
hunted from December l to January L.
il also provides that shall be unlawful
for any person during the open season
to Kill more than twenty-four quails, and
not more than twelve prairie chickens IN
one day. And furthermore, that persons
living outside the territory coming to
Oklahoma to hunt must first take out
license. the amount of which is not fixed,
before they can hunt anywhere within the
borders of the territory. The license fee
is TO be divided between the game warden
and the county warden.
CITY Marshal Matt Brown circulated a
petition last week, addressed to our
councilman and representatives, urging
their best efforts in support of the bill.
The petition bore the signatures of every
member of the. Gul-club. and OF all the
prominent business men of~the city There
can be no valid excuse offered why this
bill should not become law, and that at
once. The wholesale slaughter of prairie
chickens and quails must be stopped, or
soon there will not be one in the territory.
Mr. Brown is to be commended for his
zeal in the matter, and all others having
influence with any member of the council
or legislature are requested to write that
member at once and request his support
of this measure

INDIAN
TROUBLE
FEARED
Choctaws and Chickasaws
Object to the Allotment.
THREATEN RESISTANCE
Are Holding Meetings and
Discussing the Matter.

Ada, / II. Jan. 31-Much excitement
prevails among the haifbreed indians and
some of the intermarried citizens in this
section of the Indian territory, says the
Banner The Chickasaws and Choctaws
are holding meetings and organizing to
resist any attempt TO allot the lands.
Quite a number of halfbreeds and inter
married citizeiis are in RED Springs. near
Stonewall, and many fear their lives be-
cause they viii net attend the meetings
and join in with the fullbloods
prominent Indian citizen. well known
in the Chickasaw nation, but who is
afraid to have his name mentioned for
fear of vengeance, said today:
'-Hargo is having a wonderful infiu-
ence among the fuIlbloods They held a
meeting at Red Springs Saturday and
about 300 Indians were present. They
are advocating the allotment of their
lands in severalty, and swear they will
submit to nothing else. They have ii in
specially for the railroad company, and
threaten TO tear up the tracks. Nothing,
they claim, will satisfy them, but the
ejectment of every white citizen from
their country and their lands turned back
to them as it was fifty years ago. They
claim to have employed a lawyer in
Washington who says he can get this
land back as they want it. A fee of 81
is exaeted of each Indian TO assist in de-
fraying his expense and he pledged him
self to give any amount necessary if
called on to do so.
THE Indians in my neighborhood who
have taken no part are fearful of their
lives and if something is not done and at
once, no doubt there will be a number
of US murdered, in cold blood. The few
who have not joined the organization and
wish to take their allotment in a peace
able manner. are afraid to do So.
do you think any of your white neigh
bors are in danger"
mo. not at present; but there is no
telling what these Indians may do if the
government does not take a hand in this
agitation
Your correspondent questioned several
other prominent Indians, and all talk
about like the above and show DISPOSE
ton of uneasiness. No uneasiness is felt
among the white citizens, bpt it may be-
come serious at any moment.
Later-Passengers on the southbound
train arrived at $50 p. M, and report
that train No. 10, the Frisco Meteor, was
tagged at the Canadian bridge by Indians
and ordered to return to Francis, but the
engineer opened the throttle and went
ahead anyway.
Distractions have been found at num-
erous places on the railroad track. Ada
has put on night policemen.
