Doctor ID. NJ, HALEY, a prominent
Mason and District Deputy Grand Ex-
alted Ruler of the Elks was a visitor
In Ardmore yesterday. DR.. HALEY Is
a Democrat of long standing and infiu.
ence. He was a delegate to the Sc
quoyah statehood convention last
summer and while he favors separate
statehood he is for anything so we get
relief from present conditions. The
doctor unlike a great many. thinks
there Is some doubt as to the passage
CT the statehood bill at this session
of congress. He is of the opinion tha
Speaker Cannon of the house will
never consent to the Foraker senate
amendment permitting the question
OF admitting Arizona and New Mexico
as separate states to be left to the
vote OF the people of those two ter
ritories In speaking OF politics Mr..
HALEY says that now Is the crucial
time and that the Democrats should
at once commence organizing. The
local club presidents should canvass
their districts and see that every Dem.
ocrat is enrolled; that the organiza-
tion should be so perfect as to enable
the entire vote Of the Democracy to
be cast as one; splits and dissensions
to be carefully avoided; campaign lit
erature to be distributed and enthu-
siasm awakened.

The Great Air Whale.

The native Inhabitants Of the FIJI
islands believe thunder TO be the bel.
lowing Of the great air whale, a myth.
icai creature which, according to their
folklore stories, inhabits the opposite
side Of all thunder clouds. II the regu-
lation thunder cloud appears upaccom-

as a token. that the Great Spirit is

OF the air whale gnashing his teeth TO.

popularity OF this primitive people lies
In the fact that they win not partake
Of food while thunder cloud Is in
sight, fearing that the air whale will
oounce upon and devour them for such
irreverence.

THE .iNrRuoERs' COURT.
Putting Indians In Possession OF Their
Allotments.

W. w. Bennett, OF the Indian
agents ONCE, is in the city hearing
what is known as intruder cases. He
Is accompanied by F. b. Noel, stenog-
rapher; p. j. Hurley, docket clerk,
and Indian Policeman John c. West,
and Interpreter f. M. Wilson. The
docket comprises IS cases, all of
which will be heard by Mr.. Bennett
before he leaves Ardmore All cases
arising in the Chickasaw nation are
heard at Ardmore.
The Choctaw-Chit .8Baw agreement
provides that the indian az ut shall
place the allottee \ Unrestricted pos
session OF his allotment and rem we
therefrom ali Objectionable persons,
that the Indian agents actions in this
connection shall not be reviewed in
any court. This gives the Indian
agent almost unlimited authority as
he cannot be restrained by injunction
from the courts.
The plan of procedure Is about as
follows: The Indian complains to the
agent that some white man is on his
allotment without his consent or per.
mission. The agent thereupon mott
fies the party complained of that he
must surrender possession Of the al.
lotment to the Indian, or show cause
to his Office in ten days why he should
not be removed therefrom. The usual
answer Is that the party in possession
Is there by reason OF some contract
or agreement with the Indian. The
filing OF this answer joins an issue
and the case is set for hearing and
both parties notified, at which time
evidence Is taken and judgment rem
the party to removal without notice
after the expiration OF ten days. II IL
is found that the person complained
Of by the Indian is in possession OF
the allotment under a lease or con-
tract not made in strict accordance
with the law he Is removed by the In.

agent. The plan is simple and effect.

cases pending in the agents Office
which he is disposing OF as rapidly
as they can be heard Many knotty
