CHEROKEE MAID IS RICH REOsnN
OWNS OIL LANDS IN INDIAN
TERRITORY FROM WHICH SHE
GETS ROYALTY.

CHICAGO, March S.-That the at
traction of a great city is greater than
the call of the Wild even for an In
dian was SHOWN few days ago when
Miss Nellie Foreman, a Cherokee half
breed appeared in the United States
district court to sign leases on oil lands
which she holds as an allotment from
the government.
Miss Foreman lives at No. AZ West
Randolph street. She came to Chicago
from the Indian Territory three years
ago to visit relatives of her father and
became so enamored by the hustle and
sights of the city that she decided to
stay, and has now no intention of re-
turning to the land life of her peO-
pie
Miss Foremans mother was full
blood Indian squaw. Her father was
zone sixteenth Indian, and the rest
Irish. She was born "a years ago in
an Indian village, near the present
town of Tahlequah, 1. T., which then
was little more than a trading post.
When she appeared in court, so strik-
| ingly Indianlike was her appearance
| that the judge asked:
Can you sign your own name, Miss
Foreman"
"Certainly," she explained quickly, as
she drew the glove from her hand and
affixed her name to the lease. Il have
| had pretty good education, your
! honor. 1 was three years in Haskell
| institute, near Lawrence, Kas."
Gets 10 Per Cent Royalty.
The lease specifies that Miss Fore
man is to get royalty of one-tenth of
all oil produced on the land. She
and five half brothers are large land
owners near Tablequah. Her father
| owns 1000 acres of farming and oil
| lands.
! The Indian girl is reticent about dis
| cussing the days of her Indian life and
| Indian ancestors. A relative of the
| family is the eX-desporado, Emmett
Starr, who in the wild and wOOlly"
days was a member of the famous Dali
ton gang that terrorized the entire
| southwest. Starr is now in the employ
| of the government at Tahequah.
Il don't like to say anything about

AnttcigaPette Bill Is Now a Law
In This State
GOES INTO EFFECT SEPTEMBER
MEASURE is ALMOST AN EXACT
COPY OF THE INDIANA LAW
NOW IN FORCE.

OLYMPIA, March SPONTANEOUSLY
the senate passed the anti cigarette
bill that came over from the house
last week after passing that branch
of the legislature with but two mega
tive votes. Before it passed it was
amended, on motion of Senator Met
calf, SO that there shall be no punish
ment for keeping or owning a cigarette
and also amended on motion of that
senator, so that it shall not take effect
until September 1 of this year. This
latter amendment will give dealers
time to dispose of their stock.
On speaking for the first amend
mend Senator Metcalf said that thou
sands of visitors would be in this state
in 1909, and he did not think it wise
to arrest them because they might
happen to smoke cigarettes.
This amendment struck out the
words ''or keep or own, or be in any
way concerned, engaged or employed
in owning or keeping any such ciga-
rettes, cigarette paper or wrappers"
The bill as passed by the senate at
ter amendment is satisfactory to Rep
resentative Byerly. who introduced the
anti cigarette bill. 1t is almost an ex-
act copy of the Indiana law. AS the
bill passed the senate tonight and it
will probably go to the governor, it is
as follows:
Section THAT it shall be unlawful
for any person, by himself, clerk, serv-
ant, employe or agent directly or in
directly, upon any pretense or by any
device, to manufacture, sell, exchange
barter, dispose Of or give away, or
keep for sale, any cigarettes. cigarette
paper or cigarette wrappers, or any pa
per made or prepared for the purpose
of being filled with tobacco for smok-
ing; and any person, for violation OF
the same, shall be guilty of a misde-
the first offense, pay a fine of not
less than ten dollars ($1O) nor more
than fifty dollars ($5O) and cost of
prosecution, and stand committed to
the county Jail until such costs are
paid; and for the second and each
subsequent offense shall pay, upon
conviction thereof, a fine of not less
than one hundred dollars ($10O nor
more than five hundred dollars ($500)
and the cost of prosecution, or be i'm
prisoned in the county Jail not to ex-
coed six months provided, that the
provisions hereof shall not apply to
the sales of jObbers doing an inter-
state business with customers outside
the state.

feet until September l, 1907.
