CHOCTAW INDIAN SUES
NAMES SECRETARY OF THE INTE-
RIoR DEFENDANT.

Ethan A Hitchcock Secretary of the In
terror. has been cited by the District SUI
preme Court. to show cause January IL
next why he should not be compelled by
mandamus to Issue patent for forty acres
of land adjoining the town of Mill Creek
Indian Territory, to Mrs Belle Frost. a
Choctaw Indian.
Mrs. Frost. who is represented by At
torneys Merillat & Happier in her petition
alleges she has been duly enrolled as q
member of the Choctaw nation and as such
is entitled to an allotment of 16O acres OF
average allotable land in Indian Territory.
She also says by virtue of improvements
made by her upon the land In controversy
she, under the law acquired a prior right
to the property. 1t is further stated thar
by the treaties beween the United States
and the Choctaw nation the present home
of the nation was decided by the United
States to 1t to be held In common in fee
simple. for the benefit of all the members
of the Choctaw nation. subject to a re-
Versionary interest in the United States
should the nation become extinct. 1t is aver
red that the nation has not become eX-
tinct and that this reversionary interest
of the United States was decided back to
the Choctaw nation by the acts creating
the commission to the Five Civilized Tribes
and providing for division of the lands
held tribe among the Indians in sey-
crafty and In fee simple
Condition Attached to Transfer.
1t is also said the only condition at
tached to the transfer of the reversionary
interest was that certain lands should be
reserved from allotment for certain char
liable and town site purposes, the balance
to be thrown open to allotments by thu
members of the tribe.
1t is also said that the commission to
the Five Civilized Tribes recommended that
the land in controversy be set apart for an
additional town site. and that Secretary
Hitchcock, Congress having in effect repeal
ed the town site provision as to future
, town sites and left them to be provided
for by private or municipal enterprise, re-
by Mrs. Frost for town site purposes, and
threw the land open for allotment. 1t is
alleged she thereupon selected the land
as part of her allotment. and that after
the expiration of nine months. within which
contest could be made against hes right. an
to her by the commission to the Five Civil
lied Tribes. 1t Is contended that this GER
tificate is conclusive evidence of her right
to the land in question.
1t is also contended by Mrs Frost that
subsequently the chief of the Choctaw
nation and the governor of the Chickasaw
nation signed a patent to the land in favor
of Mrs. Frost. but the Secretary of the In
terror contended he had the right to sign
patents and refused to sign the one deed
ing the land to Mrs. Frost. and ordered
the cancellation of her allotment on the
ground he had reconsidered his former act
and now desired to add the land to the
town site of Mill Creek. 1t is alleged by
the petitioner that this action is arbitrary
and unwarranted by law. 1t is further
stated that the land has largely increased
in value since first chosen by Mrs. Frost.

those straight left jabs that made McGarry
look bad.
Sayers got out of the way of nearly all
Of the hard swings McGarry aimed with
sayers jaw in the right place. He landed
several times on that spot, but the drives
were high and did little damage. In the
tenth round McGarry landed hard right
on Savers jaw that shook his man up, but
Sayers got out of harms way.
McGarry had the better of the first three
rounds. during which Sayers seemed nerv-
Gus and did not let himself out. In the
fourth round the tide changed. for. under
the coaching of Jack McGuigan. the we'll
known Philadelphia promoter, Sayers gain
ed confidence and went after McGarry and
had the New Yorker worried by right and
left jabs. Sayers had all the better of that
round, and in the sixth, when by continuous
left jabs he drew the claret from Amby's
nose. McGarry weakened under the left
jabs, but his bulldog strength bore him
through.
Just before the gong sounded McGarry
came back and drove a right to Savers
jaw. 1t was a little too high. After the
sixth the rounds were almost repetitions.
Sayers doing the jabbing, while McGarry
devoted his time to trying to locate Savers
jaw
Both were in good condition and there
was hardly any difference in weight. Both
weighed in at 6 o'clock at 1874 pounds-two
pounds under the required weight. Sayers
was the taller and had the longer reach.
Savers was looked after by number of
men identified In Philadelphia's pugilistic
circles. His chief adviser was Jack Nc
Guigan. the big manager of the National
Athletic Club, INK Russell and Young
Erne, crack Quaker lightweights, and
Grover Hayes of Chicago.
McGarry was looked after by his man
ayers. Paddy Walsh, Paddy German. Jack
Goodwin and Falby. 1t was announced by
Manager Herford that Kid Sullivan will
meet any man at 1873 pounds, ringside.
Marshal Farnan sprang into the lime
light by stopping a preliminary bout. much
to the disapproval of the members of the
club and there was a lot Of kissing. The
marshal thought that the. bout between Kid
York and Kid Burke, two hefty dark war
riors, was brutal.
The men were taken off in the second
round, after they had furnished the sport
of the evening. They fought very hard,
but neither bled nor showed any marks of
the pace. In the other preliminaries Young
Joe Cans won from Kid Hall after four
rounds, Ellis Riley and Benny Franklin
went three rounds to a draw, while Dummy
Decker and Mitchell Levy drew in three
rounds.

upon the following letter:

forgiving nature.
Considerable time was spent by the
examining party around the various
test pits which dot the sides of the
slopes above the dam site. These were
sunk some time ago by the contractor
to show the formation.
During the morning Mr.. Patterson
was on the grounds assisting in the
work, the only one on the investigation
who is receiving nothing for his
services. The location of the hidden
board, which he had laid over a crack
in the fill and had covered in, was
pointed out TO the examiner and a
trench is being run to uncover it. This
will probably receive some attention
tomorrow.

Naturally, Mr.. Kellogg is not. talk
ing about what he has seen at the dam.
Whatever conclusions he has or will ar.
rive at will not be made public until
his report to Governor Carter is given
out officially. Of the assistance being
given him in his work by the officials
of the Public Works Department, by
those on the ground and by Mr.. Pat
terson, he speaks in the most apprecia-
tive way.
"Is Patterson getting anything for
what he is doing up here?' he was
asked, this being a natural question in
view of the regularity with which the
ex-inspector appears at the dam.
"No, I don t think he is being paid

"Don't you think he should, be un-

But this. was another of the points
whereon the Expert had no opinion for
publication.
SPRING UNDER THE CONCRETE.
The presence of spring under the
concrete core wall in the very bottom
of the gulch is something in connec-
tion with the dam which has hitherto
escaped comment.
According to the report made to Mr.
Kellogg by Patterson, this spring was
uncovered at bedrock in the gulch
when the trench for the core wall was
carried across. 1t was supposed that
it could be plugged with the concrete
and accordingly it was covered with a
three-foot box and the wall built up
around it. Then the box was taken
out and the hole filed with cement,
tamped and worked down tightly.
This was supposed to cork the spring
But, so Patterson asserts, this failed
altogether of its purpose and the water
from the spring is working out through
the concrete up to the height of three
feet, the height of the box put in.
