gress right on Iniian Territory mat

CHEROKEE CLAIMANTS
The Claim Involves the Rights
Of Several Hundred PeO-
Pile and the Title to
Many Acres Of
Valuable Land.

The right of the Dawson family to
participation in the NATURALIZATION
Iof lands IN the Cherokee nation has
been upheld by the attorney-general
This Is one of the most important
citizenship cases which the Dawes
commission has had to deal with. It
involves several hundred claimants,
as the land which they hold Is some
Of the richest and most productive IN
the Cherokee nation, the combined
value Of their holdings aggregates
over s2,OOO,O0O.
The Dawson citizenship ease has
been In the courts for years and Cap
tain A. $. kennon, who has been the
attorney for the claimants since he
resigned from the Dawes commission,
has fought II before the United States
court for the Northern district, be-
fore the Dawes commission, aud II was
finally laid before the encouragement
for his adjudication.
Tic question Of citizenship Of all
theclaimants depended Upon the mar
fiage OF one Of the ancestors OF the
claimants TO a Cherokee citizen. This
marriage occurred IN the early part Of
the last century, and there was Moth
ing but the cloudy records Of that
period to support the claim.

NEW JAIL READY
IN TWO MONTHS
WORK ON NEW EDIFICE PRO
CROSSING RAPIDLY-NEW WALL
TO BE TWENTY FEET HIGH.

The new jail will be completed with
in two months. The Jail building will
probably be completed before that time
but the wall will take the full two
months time for completion. The wall
is to be twenty feet in height, four feet
at the base and two feet at the top.
No one will be put in the new Jail until
after the wall shall have been complet-
ed. Appropriate ceremonies will be
held when new jail is thrown upon for
occupancy
The new jail will enable about $50
prisoners to be housed Only misde-
meanor men and defendants awaiting
trial will be put into the new jail The
old Jail will be utilized for the quarters
of the convicts. 1t is intended to in
crease the height of the wall around
the old prison. The old wall is now
about 12 feet in height and the wall will
be raised to a uniform height with
the wall about the new Jail
The segregation of the prisoners has
been largely influenced by the ruling
made some time ago by Judge Gear in
the matter of housing misdemeanor
prisoners with actual criminals and
also with the working of misdemeanor
men. The Supreme Court will prob
ably hand down decision this year re-
gardng this ruling. Both High Sher-
iff Brown and Warden Henry are fav-
Orably impressed with the ruling that a
distinction between misdemeanor Of
tenders and those convicted of penal
crimes, should be maintained.
