LAND THEFTs FROM TIE INDIANS

LAND THEFTS FROM TIE INDIANS. -
The finding of 1873 indictments, some
of them of prominent men holding
high positions in Oklahoma, or gov
eminent officers in Mexico, who are
also high in financial and party
circles in the United States, for
fraudulently depriving the Indians of
the lands allotted to them in 1894, by
forged deeds ratifying deals when
Poor Lo had been made drunk
in manv cases, to facilitate negOtia-
tiOns. The use and occupation OF
the lands were granted the Indians
for % years. at the end of which time
they would receive patents in fee
simple. The lands were the most
valuable in the district and afforded a
fine opportunity for deluding the
savageS into parting with their pos
sessions and issuing deeds that
would become operative at the eXpi-
ration of the time limit. One hun
dred and thirty suits are now pend
ing in the U. S. Circuit Court of the
Western District of Oklahoma. The
Senate Committee, under whose d.
rectiOn the indictments were found,
requests that criminal proceedings
be also included in the prosecution.

King, suggests as the best method of

under one management, and the ex-
penditure of $3.50. 900, 900 to $780,.
100000, in improving the weaker
roads, physically and financially. In
this way, he thinks would be accom-

to the owners of railroad stock. He
declares that great change in pub

Up AGAINST ANOTHER STUMP.-It
is now said that the anxiety of Sena-
tor Poison for special session of the
Legislature is to authorize a delay of
half a dozen or more years in dis
pOsal of the capitol land grant, in
order to augment its price to many
times its present value. This as
sumption is exceedingly prOblemat
ical, to say the least, and unreasonable
delay is not in accord with the spirit
of the benefaction from the general
government. The granted lands
were to build an adequate State
house. 1t can be built in accordance
with the plans of one of the best ar
chitects in the United States at cost
that may be realized from the prospec-
tive value in the lands in the
near future. under the stimulus
Of an exceedingly favorable COM
binatiOn of circumstances. Why
should the object of providing an adj
equate capitol be delayed, when its
provision is so often shown to be
q crying need? The present tenn
porary capitol has outgrOwn its days
of usefulness. il it ever was capable
of supplying the needs of the people
or the requirements of the public
service. Let us hope that the object
of the donation that may be nom
fully realized after all the prelimi-
naries are well arranged for wide
spread publicity. will impel the Com
mission to recognize the intent of
Congress in making the generous
provision for State building.

a suitable monument TO the memory
of the Virginia troops who fell in bat
tie at Gettysburg. The commission
has visited the scene and discussed
the situation. 1t developed that to use
the site finally agreed upon ii would

Swanson and Senator Daniel were
