Special agent Leigh Chambers. Of the

which will in each case accompany the
report TO the attorney general. The off,
quested it, of the nature of the charges
against them, but in no cases have the
names of the witnesses been disclosed to
the officials by the inspector.
The question at issue in the greater
number of cases is the nature of the bust
ness transactions OF the companies form
ed for land speculations and investments.
This is the material matter and upon the
evidence In these cases will rest the di-
cision in the cases of Pliny Soper. c. A.
Davidson, Joseph Mccoy and others. In
the case of the latter the position of the
official is more grave by reason Of the
fact that he was not only a director In
the company, but it's chief officer.
In view of the fact that the companies
have the powers to graft and Doodle by
the terms Of their articles of fncorpora-
ton the presumption is strong against
the methods of the companies. The re-
cords, however, have been found pain
fully inadequate to show that any trans
action of a questionable character had
been made This grows out of the method
of doing business in the territory where
the record is the least important of the
steps to secure Indian lands at an ad-
vantage. The examination in various
cases has disclosed a number OF trans
actions upon which the records We're
mute. These cases were accidentally
brought to light. They imply others. Of
course. but there Is no machinery by
which these others may be given the light
of an examination. The statements un-
der oath of the managers of the land and
trust companies are. to be sure. se.f-
serving They may be complete and they
may be brief They are all that can be
had. The inspector has no power 10 delve
into the private records OF the business
of the company.
Incorporated in the report will be a list
of the various companies. together with
a transcript from the records Of the
powers set forth in their articles of in

Some time ago certain Territorial ap
pointment was made and certain astute
onse remarked that the governor had not
consulted the fellows Now, il had al
ways been a religious conviction on the
part of this journal of commerce that the
fellows constituted the great big splen-
did Republican party, but there seems to
be a lurking suspicion in the minds of
some that the fellows were a few favored
ones, who before the morning stars sang
their euphonious lullabys to the universe,
before light had been evolved from dark
ness. before caucuses and conventions
had been conceived in the mind of the ar
chitect OF passing events, had been pre-
destinated and foreorddined to boss things

Cleveland, o. T., Sept. 21.-Last Monday
evening flock of pelicans was discov-
cred on the Arkansas river near Cleve-
land and a number of sportsmen shoul-
dered their guns and went after them.
They succeeded in killing thirteen of the
peculiar looking birds and they excited
a great deal OF interest when brought 70

These birds. whose native haunts are
the shores of Florida and other places on

ers have a chance to boast of having
been tangled up with a flock Of pelicans.

next SESSION
OF The COURT
At laWton Three Hundred
Gases Are Filed.
ONE HUNDRED CRIMINAL
Criminal Work Will Be Post
poned when Possible.

Lawton, o. T., Sept H.-At the next
session of the district court there will be
approximately 800 cases on the docket
OF these 100 will be territorial criminal
cases and about a dozen United States
criminal cases.
1t is likely wherever it is possible to
do 50 without working hardship or an in
justice that criminal cases will be post
poned at the coming session. The Grim
inal work has so far monopolized the
courts time to the exclusion OF civil mat
ters. AS result the civil work has run
behind and civil rights have been tardily
adjusted. This has been through no fault
of the court. but due to the immense
amount of criminal work necessarily at
tended to.
The court docket is being printed now
and will be the largest in the history OF
the county.
The juries. grand and petit, have been
drawn, but have not yet been served and
will not be published for some time Prob
ably not until about the time court con-
venes, as il IS deemed the part of wisdom
to keep them secret.
New cases are being filed constantly,
but mostly divorce cases, excepting the
mineral cases, wherein Colonel Rand
lette has been made a party and tempor-
arily enjoined from interfering with the
mining operations on the Indian allott-

STEAL FROM OFFICERS.
Thieves Adopt Bold Methods in Their
Larceny.

Guthrie, o. T, Sept. IA dispatch
from Coslgate says:
Horse stealing is becoming very preva-
lent in Choctaw nation, and scarcely a
night passes without some farmer is rob-
bed of his horses by the outlaws.
Recently the thieving has taken a new
form and the thieves, as if to show their
contempt Of the constabulary Of the ter
ritory, made a speciality Of taking the
horses belonging to the officers of the
law A short time since United States
Marshal James Thompson had his horse
stolen from In front of the First National
bank in this city in broad daylight, and
although the horse was one of the most
valuable in the territeny and was well
known TO all lovers of good horsefesh
throughout the nation, all efforts 70 re-
cover the animal have been in vain. This
week thieves entered the stable of Street
Commissioner and Deputy Marshal Tom
swadley and appropriated a good team,
leaving the officer aloft. Reports from
other parts of the nation are to the effect
that deputies and posse men have been
made the especial victims of the gang.

SPEED ENTERS DENIAL.
Claims the Brosius Report Is Not a
Fact,

Guthrie, o. T. Sept. 21.-Horace Speed,
United States attorney, returned today
from attending federal court in Beaver
county. and was asked regarding the re-
draw Brosius the Indian Rights associa-
ton Inspector, into an investigation Of
Speeds administration as United States
attorney Mr.. Speed smiled and said that
he had seen such a report in print, and
that was the extent of his knowledge
on the subject.
Regarding the statement that Brosius
had called at Speeds office for informa-
ton, Mr.. Speed said that while that was
true. the case occurred four years ago
and never afterward. He did not deny,
however. that there would likely be at
tempts made to draw Brosius into an
investigation of the charges made against
Mr.. Speed in Pawnee county to the effect
that he is alleged 10 have entered into
an illegal contract with the county COM
mfssioners for the collection of back
cattle taxes and receiving therefor an
exorbitant and therefore illegal fee. Mr..
Speed. however, says he has never fear
ed the outcome of this case and therefore
takes but slight interest in the attempts
alleged TO have been made to draw Bro
sius into the affair.
Regarding new country alleged FRAUDS
Mr.. Speed said he was too busy attend
ing to them and his other business as
United States attorney to participate in
other matters. He declares that the in
vestigation will be pushed in the new
country until every guilty party is pun
