FRANK JAMES
IN TOWN

Captain Frank James, said
Judge Grigsby as he introduced
his old war comrade to friends who
happened 70 be in bis court this
morning. Just Frank if you
please, " said the nam who, was in
troduced. II am the only man who
came out of the southern army as
a mere private, except Henry
Grigsby"
1t was Frank James, Of bandit
fame. He had come in from Cement
where he is spending the winter
and was on his way to Beaumont.
Texas.
He doesn't look a bit like a bad
man. He is 63 years old now and
his gray hair and features that are
becoming wrinkled show the effects
Of time but his eye is still keen
and he has plenty Of physical rigor.
He talks in a pleasant manner,
using choice language and the soft
southern accent.
Jndge Grigsby and Frank James
were soldiers together in Gen. Joe
brigade and they had
many "reminiscences to relate.

Mr.. Hayes anticipates fight on

the cost of such number, and a PEN
atty q fifty cents for such refusal
or neglect, which charge shall be
made On the tax books of the city
and collected by the tax collector
! as all other taxes. The cost Of
which number and the penalty
there to attached shall be paid in-
to the city treasury by the collector
when collected by him."
Now this ordinance is right and
proper, it entails no hardship on
any one. 1t is Simply matter of
systametizing and getting III
order for the convenience of
the general public, owners and ten
ants, of the houses of city.
This numbering of houses would
not CIV be OF great beneht to the
public and Others who are forced
to make deliveries but il would
facilitate the business OF he city
clerk, the tax asst ssor an the tax
collector in keeping their records.
1t would seem tnat tue simplest
and easiest way out OF the matter
would be fr the city to contract
with some party for the numbering
Of all houses whose owners fail or re.
fuse to number them according to
the ordinance and in that way the
thing would be done and afford re-
lief at once.

FOR LEGISLATURE By NEXT con-
CRESS FOR THE REMOVAL
OF RESTRICTIONS
STATEHOOD HAS HELPED
To Create Sentiment Department
Officials make Prediction


Washington. Nov. 24.-That re-
strictions will be removed ON In
dian hands in Indian Territory at
the next session Of congress is pre-
djcted by officials Of the interior
department. The congressional
committee now holding hearings in
the territory is having impressed
upon It the desIrability Of such
legislation and the argument OF
the people VINO have heretofore
not urged such action by congress
Is being added to that OF those
persons who have been exciting
every possible influence to secure
il up to date.
The admission of the two terri
tories as state has caused this ad-
ditional sentiment among the great
class Of citizens who have before
taken no part in the clamor for re-
moval Of restrictions in order thar
Indian allottees might dispose Of
their lands.
The cause Of their activity now
is due to the fact that Indian lands
cannot be taxed 50 long as they
are held by the Indians, and there
fore will yield no revenue for state
support. The revenue which the
taxation Of these lands would pro-
Iduct IS needed to carry on the new
state government, and in conse-
quence the men who have so vigor-
ously worked for the removal Of re-
strictions, many of them men with
private schemes which they hoped
to work through in order to get
possession of lands for a mere song,
and support to some degree from
this great class Of good citizens for
the reason stated.
| There Is no doubt expressed at
the department at least by officials
who have been questioned regard
ing the subject, that the joint con-
gressional committee will recon-
mend the desired legislation, al
though what weight its resolution
will have with congress can only
be speculated upon.
Now withstanding the powerful
pressure brought to bea- upon COM
gress last session for the removal Of
restrictions,that body actually plac.
ed more restrictions upon the lands
in some instances.
A case was described by an off,
cial today in which a man had leas-
ed track of land from poor In
ian woman at nominal rental. He
then came 10 Washington and spent
some time here lobbying for the re-
moval Of restrictions. Finally when
the Indian bill was drafted he Sc
cured the insertion Of the woman's
name along with Others who were
given permission to ALLEVIATE their
lands. Returning to the territory
be purchased the woman's land for
$500. 1t is said TO have been
worth $40, 900 year in royalties on
minerals alone.
Had the question Of removing
the restriction been left to the in
terror department it was said, they
would never have been removed,
for the competency Of the woman
to transact her business affairs
could never have been shown. ant
under such circumstances the sec
reiary could not. under the law
have been so disposed. have re-
moved the restFicticps 50 As to per-
nit the sale Of the land.
