See Victory in First

The Editor OF The Chieftaln-
AS regards the county boundaries,
| would like to say that the Republi-
cans Of Mayes county are perfectly
satisfied with the lines as they now
stand. We shall have an even break
with the Democrats in the next cleo
tion, If not a decided majority.
The Republican clubs all over this
county Will heartily endorse Judge J.
A. Gill for the appointment as Unit
ed Sta tes judge Of the eastern district
of the rev state Of Oklahoma. In so
doing, we shall feel sure that we are
not making any mistake, as the judge
has so honorably and earnestly filled
his position as to have gained the con-
fidence, respect and good will of all
law-abiding citizens of this country.
1t Is well known fact that he came
among US stranger, and that he had
no common interest in the affairs of
our country except in an official way.
AS presiding officer OF our only court
he had been burdened with many
hard and intricate cases, having to
deal with all classes of men, from edu-
Gated and polished criminals down to
the uneducated fullDlood Indian, whose
ignorance made him lawbreaker.
Under all these difficulties Judge
Gill has rigidly enforced the law and
upheld the dignity Of the court, show
ing mercy to those who deserve it. In
the meantime, not a few young Chero-
KEGS are indepted to Judge J. A. Gill
today for the respectability and good
standing they enjoy among their fel-
low men, as the judg has never miss
ed an opportunity to pluck a thorn
and plant rose where rose will
grow.
Therefore, all good citizens must
feel that Judge Gill had made him
self welcome and popular member Of |
our country, not only as an officer,
but as kind and philanthropic citi-
zen as well. We know that the Chero-
kee nation has been made the better
for his presence In it, and we hope
that he may long continue to preside

district as judge and ccutiaus 20 re-

LESSEES AGREE

The Frisco lessees on Illinois aven-

ing to pay for the paving Of the street
ia front Of the property now occupied
by them. This agreement has been
sent to the officials Of the railway and
it is believed that the latter will
agree to let the lessees remain in
their present quarters for a definite
length Of time, in order to compen-
safe them for the payment for the
paving. By such an agreement the
Frisco would secure paving for three
blocks along its property at no cost

THREE IMPORTANT
DECISIONS RENDERED
Judge Gill Holds That Courts Cannot
Interfere With Granting Of Leas-
eS by Secretary Hitchcock

Judge J. A. Gill has just handed
down decisions in three important
and, to lawyers, exceedingly interest
ing cases. The first case, and the one
about which most interest settled
was that of George ". Waller guar
dian Of Goldie J. Waller, a minor,
against the Cherokee Oil & Gas COM
pany. The plaintiff sought to res
train the defendant from drilling on
her allotment, in Section 30, 24-17
The oil company on June I, 1892, was
given a lease on the entire section 20
by Secretary Hitchcock, and has since,
it claims, compiled with the terms Of
this lease as to development and the
payment Of royalties. The plaintiff,
however, contended that the secretary
had no power to make the lease, and
it was on this point that the case
hinged.
Judge Gill decided in favor of the
defendant. He holds that under the
law, and following the decision ia the
case Of the Cherokee Nation vs.. Hitch
cock, 1877 U. s., 294, the secretary is by
statute and under the Cherokee law
placed IN charge and control OF oil
leases In the Cherokee Nation, and
that the courts cannot interfere in
such leases, made by the secretary,
unless violation Of the terms Of the
lease has been called TO the attention
The Vinita daily chieftain. [volume] (Vinita, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1902-1913, 1907-01-09

Of the secretary and he has refused to
act. The oil company has brought ia
good we'll on the Waller allotment,
and pays the usual 10 per cent royalty
to the allottee.
In the case Of Dan Dotts vs. j. Geo
rye Wright Judge Gill decided that
the Indian agent nor his agents have
no power to collect tribal tax on cat
tie raised In the Cherokee Nation and
not grazing on public lands. Dotts
proved that the 400 cattle ON which
Inspector Wright attempted to collect
the tribal tax had been raised by him,
and that he had lease to the land On
which they we're grazing. Dotts,
however, because he deceived the
agent as to the status OF the cattle,
was ordered to pay the costs In the
case.
The third case decided by the Judge
was that of the First National bank
Of Claremore vs. Watt Mayes. This
was decided in favor Of the plaintiff.
Briefly, the decision holds that the
act of congress requiring the transfer
OF mortgages from the western to the
northern district upon the formation
Of tho latter imposed the duty on the
mortgagee Of seeing that the transfers
were made, and that the failure OF
the mortgage to conform to that
