MANY LEASES 1NvALDArED
Federal Judge In a Decision Says In
dim Parent Cannot Rent Land
of His Minor Chudrea.

Muskogee, i. T., July 15.-A decision
was handed down Tuesday by Judge g.
w. Raymond, United States judge for
the western district of Indian territory,
which will invalidate leases on 1000, 900
acres of Creek Indian lands and will
bring dismay to spectators and land
leasing companies. 1t is difficult to APP
preciate the sweeping effect of the
courts holding. Judge Raymond has
held that the parent of an Indian has no
right to lease the land of his minor chill
dren unless he has by due course Of
legal procedure been made the legal
guardian. Cases where the parent has
been made the legal guardian of his chill
dren are rare in the extreme, hence
thousands of acres allotted to minors
that have been leased by their parents
have been let irpegularly and the leases
will not stand
In the Creek nation there are 3O72, 1913
acres of land. OF this 100000 acres
have been leased to outsiders. It is
roughly estimated that only about $780,
900 acres have been leased legally. and
that the remainder is now held by per-
sons who can be removed by minors go
ing before the Indian agent and de-
handing possession Of their amount.

foreign military attaches, soon fol-
lowed. At nine o'clock an artillery sa-

mter Combes and other cabinet minis
tiers and the presidents Of the senate
and chamber Of deputies, whom Gen.
Andre and the military governor Of
Paris and their stats escorted to the
reviewing stand Nine. Loubet soon
followed, and the review commenced,
ending with the usual distribution Of
decorations. The charge was executed
by six regiments of cavalry, which
were drawn up in fine style about 80
yards in front of the presidential
stand, and aroused the greatest en-
thusiasm on the part of the spectators.
Immediately afterward M. Loubet and
