Judge Clayton OF the Central District
EnlOins Indian Agent.


The stores at South McAlester
were not closed according to the
schedule OF the Indian Office at
Muskogee. Judge Clayton yester-
day granted temporary injunc.
tion sustaining the application OF
the business men Of South Nc
Alester. Judge Stuart was the
leading counsel for the merchants.
He declared that the govern.
ment did not have the power to
close a mans business without a
hearing, without an opportunity
TO adjudicate the matter.
He said the sole question in
volved was: sis the power confer
red; is ii exercised in accordance
with law
The removal OF an intruder,
Judge Stuart contended. was the
sole Interpretation Of the tribal law
governing the payment Of tribal
tax.
Congress in entering into agree
ments with the Indians never in
tended that the intruder's business
house be locked up; but that the
intruder himself should be elected
from the territory and this law
has since been supplanted by
the declaration that no man, who
owns town lot shall be removed
from the territory for failure to
pay tribal tax. He denied that
the Interior Department had the
right TO close business house;
such authority was never given
the Department by any law or
or treaty.
Judge Stuart's remarks were
confined to the authority Of the
department and be concluded
without going into the various con
ientions set forth in the applica-
cation. Ii was not necessary.
During the rendition OF the de-
cision the Court was interrupted
b4 Mr. Mansfield Who declared
that the conditions existing in the
Creek Nation IN connection with
the Buster case, which was deem
ed by the Court as sufficiently par
aleIl to be compared with the case
at hand; were governed by the
Creek treaty which was not to be
compared with the Choctaw treaty
10 it's tribal tax applications. This
led the Court to ask II the tribal
tax was collected in the Greek Ma
ton, especially at Muskogee.
Chiel Clerk Wisdom Of the Indian
Agents office, arose and was ask
ed to reply. He stated that the
tribal tax collection was not push
ed but that 1t was accepted when
ever offered. This created q mer
~ laugh. IL was an admission
that the tax was collectable 10
Muskogee but is not being press
ed, only accepted when offered;
and il is presumed that the "offer
ingsn OF the merchants would not
long feed digger Indian If used
as an INDECENT fund.

Ell Jardin de Flores.

The Hidalgo Advance of last
Sunday gives the following account
of the ranch Of viii S. Dougherty,
which will be of interest in Browns
vile, because its enterprising young
proprietor was formerly a Browns
vile boy, being the son of Mrs. NJ.
Dougherty of this city:
"A couple of miles east OF the Ojo
de Aqua and to the right of the
main road Is the ranch of Mr.. w.
IS. DOugherty. The name Jardin
de Flores Glover Garden) is very
appropriate, as it is a veritable
garden. Mr.. Dougherty only COM
menced improving here five or six
years ago, and the results are
another proof of what can be done
in this valley. Notwithstanding
drouth and other discOuragements
Mr.. D. has never failed to produce
some kind of crop every year, and
when he puts in an irrigation plant,
as he contemplates in the near fu-
ture, the products of his well cul-
tivated fields will be immense. The
soil will produce anything that can
be produced in any part of the
world"

WOULD CORRAL CRIES..
Major Prav Submits Plans That Will
Abate Cree Nuisance.

Havre, Nov. 21.-MajOr Charles
N. Pray, the erudite and indefatiga-
bic prosecuting attorney of Choteau
county. who comedies to no man a
greater love or generation for Coop
er's Leatherbreeches tales than he
possesses, that is in the love of a
beautiful. smooth. 'diction. not of the
subject matter, was in the city the
middle of the week.
Major Pray has. with laborious per-
sistence. worked to solve the Cree
problem in this county and ne hopes
that the coming winter will see the
fruit of his labor ripened, aye
plucked.
He has three plans that will be
submitted to the general government
and the acceptance of any one Of
them will be solution of the troub-
lie that has so long annoyed Northern
Montana. He would have the govern
ment give them reservation of
their own, like that given American
tribes. or combine them with some of
the other tribes and keep them on
some reservation already created, Or
he would again deport them to their
native land Canada, and keep them
there by means of mounted gov
eminent patrol
Major Pray has interested in this
matter Senator Thomas Fl. Carter,
who will go to Washington this win
ter and with the aid of Thomas
NaYlow and the Montana represent
a5iv"s in congress endeavor to have
one # these plans enacted by leg
isle IN.
nator Carter has urged Major
'".ay to accompany him to Wash
iN2ton and assist in the work of
prosecuting this deserved legislation
but the imperative demand upon his
time by the courts Of Choteau coun-
ty. will preclude the possibility Of
his going.
Mr.. NARROW is interested in the
matter because of the fact that he
is large owner of live stock prop
erty in this portion of the state and
these Indians. by reason of their law
less depredatlons, are a greater men
ace to live stock property than the
predatory animals that roam the
range.
Then the Crees. by the bringing of
smallpox into the country, have cost
this county many thousands of dol
lars. A bill will probably be intro
duced in congress at this session to
financially recompense this county
for the expense it has been to in
the past years by reason of this pest

And the birch and the willows swing

To the night winds song of Thanks

Thanks for the springtimes sunny

Thanks for the summers warmth and
flowers,
Thanks for the autumn's fruits and
grain.
Thanks for the winters rest again.
'Tis Thanksgiving eve and the moon
beams fall
On hut and cabin, cottage and hall:
On men and on women, and children

Holding their bright Thanksgiving

Weary and hungry. yet out in the

To tighten the burden of woman and

So much to be thankful for, Lord,
