Said to Have Been Settled UpoDby
HOmesteaders.

Guthrie. Ok, Sept. 25.-Attorneys

have carried an appeal to Secretary

plaintiff to enter section of land in
which $50 homesteaders are interested
and about 100000 acres in the Kicka-
poo reservation is involved. The facts
are, briefly: On July 2, 1894, D. A.
Harvey was made agent Of the board
for leasing school lands and to select
1000 acres Of the surplus lands in
the Kickapoo reservation as indemnity
school lands. He made the selection
prior to the opening Of the lands for
settlement at noon on May 20, 1895.
However, at noon practically all the
lands selected by Mr.. Harvey was set
tied upon and claimed by homestead
ers under the homestead law. The
applications of the homesteaders were
rejected by the United States land Of
fee for being in conflict with the Sec
ton made for indemnity school lands.
