LOAN MEN AND INDIANS.
People Have Wrong Idea as to the
DEALINGS.

L.awton, o. r., Feb. 6-"The peo
pie of this section of Oklahoma have
a wrong idea regarding the dealings
Of loan men with Indians" said c. w,
Mcdonald. oae of the principal Indian
loanors today. The reports that have
been circulated here through the press
and otherwise would make the people
throughout Oklahoma believe that the
lenders down here are gang of
thieves and usurers While It might
be possible that some men have not
treated the Indians fairly not all the
lenders are guilty of such treatment %
Mr. Mcdonald has been in the loan
business here for the past eighteen
months, and in looking over his books
and accounts today he found that the
average rate OF interest charged by
him has been one per cent n month,
or twelve per cent per year. a rate that
is fair and does not even border ON
usury. He feels that he has been
treated unfairly by the reports that
have been circulated.
II is a known fact, however, that
the Indian agent ana the sub.
agent have been making close
inspection of the transaction with
the Indian and close inquiry into
deals made previous to the time that
charges were being made, One in
Stance is recorded of where Sub-Agent
Silcott found that lender has charg-

 Bill Hausen again playing beautiful second base with four putouts and four assists without even hesitation. Mul- laney also played n star game. two of his ten chances being assists. one base was stolen on McAlees and three on Hurlburt whose throwing was very much to the bum.
 NichSlls hit one in the second tn- ming that Rreit tried to stop. but he only got close enough to 1t to defect its course and by the time Perry got it to Mullaney Nichols had 1t beat out Then Carey dumped a bunt between first and secone, Nobody got it and both runners were safe, Nicholl's going to third. Flass hit to Perry and was out at first. Nicholl's scoring on the play Manush dropped a Texas Leag- uer over Hausen's head and Cary SCOT ed.
