RUMfoRD AGAIN DEFEATED.

The Rumford polo team met defeat
again ut tho hands OF the Myopia on the
field OF tho former team. the score being
20 TO 1917. The loss Of tho visiting team
may be again accredited 10 the faulty
mallet work and tho errors made.
Myopia took advantage Of each Of these
mistakes and ovsrcame the handicap Of
is and established n lead early In the
contest. The play for the FIRST period
was very lively and the fight bid fair
TO be the best OF the series up to this
time. The Rumford men, lacking the
experience. rode so hard that they spoiled
a number Of good shots. only to have
Myopia come along behind and take ed-
vantage
In the first period only four goals were
made by the winning team. but In tho
second the play became reckless and
greater scoring followed. Rumford again
made a change In its defense Which weak
ened the play. DIR. Watson, who had
been playing back. moved up 10 No. q.
and Mr.. Gladding went from No TO his
old place at back. Mr. Richmond went
forward and Mr. Hanley retained HIS po-
sition.
In tho last period Rumford made a
great squirt and outplayed Myopia 8 goals
TO 2. but IL was impossible to overcome
the lead made by the home team in the
third. The lineup:

TERRITORY LAWS CONFUSED.
Judoe Gill Announces Rules for Com
ina Elections.

Muscoree. I. +, Feb 1S.-The lack OF
general elections. and the fact that
large per cent of the population OF lndlan
territory is recently acquired from othef
states have led TO a general confusion
of tba election laws in force in the ter
ritory. and there is good deal of interest
in the matter as the approaching muhlc-
ipal elections draw near.
On this line, Judge Gill, of the Northern
district. has rendered the following order,
which applies in all the nations:
Manfields Digest of the Laws of Ar
kansas" in force in Indian territory, sec
tions 9o4 905 and 906 provides for the
election. appointment and qualification Of
officers in city elections Said elections
must be held on the first Tuesday in April
and must be conducted according to chap
ter SO of Manfields digest, entitled, Flee
tons
Under section 1854. Mansfield's digest. it
is held to be prescribed that the judge
of the district in which the city is located
shall at his last term of court. held thirty
DAYS before the date of election, appoint
three discreet persons. who shall have
the qualifications of electors and who
shall act as judges in the election, the
same rule applying to wards where the
city is divided into wards. and the judges
shall select their clerks.
Under section II of the Curtis law the
qualifications of voter are prescribed
as follows: "He shall have been a resi-
dent of the municipal corporation for at
least period of six months and under
section 1901 of Mansfeld's S digest he must
have lived in the ward where he offers TO
vote 'at least thirty days"
It is my opinion that any man who has
lived in cOrporated city six months, and
in his ward thirty days, and is otherwise
qualified, is a qualified voter in Indian ter
ritoTy.
The mayors of the cities in the district
are requested to select three men who
are qualified voters. giving due regard to
both political parties. and send the list
to the Judge of the district, that he may
appoint them judges.

turned he had hidden the money, and re-
fuses to tell where ii IS.
The only clue to the treasure is story
that was told by some parties who made
repeated search for hidden money IN TINS
vicinity several years ago. They SAID tnat
money had been hidden there by tram
rohber who had received it as his share
of booty and buried it there by the side
of an old trail on the Canadian river. He
was afterward arrested, convicted and
sent to the penitentiary. He told his at
tornev about the money and described 10
him as we'll as he could where 1t was
located The attorney caused several
searches to be made. but it remained for
the boy to discover 1t.

Interior Department Says No Increase
in Creek Nation.

Muskogee, /. T.. Feb. 1S.-The Dawes
commission has received notice from the
secretary of the interior that the in
crease made in. the appraisement of lands
in the Creek nation on account of the
existence of coal in large quantities.
which was recommended by the commits
sion. has been disapproved by the depart
nent.
When the allotment of land in the Creek
nation was made il was not known that
there was coal in commercial quantities
in the Creek nation. When the geological
survey was made for the segregation of
the Choctaw coal lands, the officer in
charge. at the request of the commission.
also made a survey and maps Of the
lands in the Creek nation which were
coal lands.
This information was compiled and sent
to the department with the recommends.
ton that where an allottee had taken
land which was shown to be underlaid
with coal. the appraisement on his land
should be raised to the maXimum-S6.5 50
per acre. In the meantime. the allottees
were appraised Of the fact that while the
original appraisement OF their land was
below the maximum IL might be raised
on account Of the coal.
There Were several thousand acres Of
this land. and the question was one of
great Importance to the Creeks. for each
anottee is entitled to 169 acres Of land
that i worth $3.50 an acre. and If he gets
cheaper land he is entitled to more OF it.
The coal land increase would have brought
hundreds OF allotmcnts that were graded
at not move than g per acre up 10 the
maximum. and this would have left a
good sized balance to he divided equally
among the members Of the tribs.
Secretary Hitchcock. acting on the opin-

be made after allotment and il an allottee

OF SCHOOL MONEY.
Oklahoma City Man Would Have Kin

Guthrie. O. T.. Feb, s.-Superintendent
Ed Naught of the Oklahoma City schools
was in the city yesterday in conference
with the governor and Superintendent
Baxter regarding the appOrtioHment Of

schools in consideration OF the kinderGar-

stated that. due to misunderstanding of

Oklahoma county superintendent had

ty school apportionment OF about $1,000.

sary amendment To the report in order
to have the kindergarten enurnera ton in
cluded.
The new law with regard to this matter
