A Peculiar Threat.

Ia a Muskogse dispatch to the

Secretary Hitchcock showed
some disappointment because the
Federal courts had stepped In and
enjoined the department from col.
lecting the tribal tax for tne choc.
taws and intimaled that he might
soon order the tax collected re.
gardless Of the action Of the courts.
At least that is what McCurtain
says.
The Federal court has not en-.
Joined the department from col
lecting the tribal tax. The de-
partment made no pretense that il
was trying to collect the tax. II
merely was threatening TO close
business houses in open violation
Of law as declared a year ago by
the court OF appeals Of the In.
dian Territory. The court Of ap-
psals decided that the method for
collection of royalty would have
TO be by a suit in court.
The white people Of the country
who have bought lots have some
rights. They can not be deprived
Of liberty OF property without due
process OF Law and that was what
the Indian agen. was trying TO do
when the restraining order was
granted.

reiary was guilty OF the imprud.
