Mexico City.-Charged with land
frauds against the tribe of Kickapoo
Indians, the provisional arrest and de-
tention of W. L. Chapman, L. c.
Grimes, A. T. Brown, R. c. Conine
and John Garrett, residents of the
state of Oklahoma, have been asked
by telegraph of the United States gov
eminent by the Mexican state depart
ment. Formal request for the extra
dition of the men has been mailed to
Washington.
The formal complaint against Chap
man and his associates grows out of
the removal of the Kickapoo Indians
from Oklahoma territory to Muzquiz,
state of Coahulia, in the summer of
1906 AS soon as they had arrived in
Mexico, it is said, Chapman, Grimes,
Brown, CONNIE and Garrett followed
them to this country and at once en-
tered into negotiations for the pur'
chase of Oklahoma lands of the In
dians, amounting approximately to
10000 acres and valued at several hun
dreds of thousands of dollars. 1t is
alleged that the Kickapoos refused to
sell, although they possessed the right
to do so by an act of the United States
congress, which permits Indians who
have left the United States to dispose
of their land holdings there.
The complaint then alleges that
Chapman and associates, falling to in
duce the -Kickapoos to dispose of their
Oklahoma property, forged deeds and
signed the names of the Indian land
owners to them.

inspection trip to the Yosemite valley.

Referring TO the recent destructive
forest fires Secretary BalIinger said:
I'VE may find it necessary to revert
to the old Indian method of burning
over the forests annually at sea sonable
periods. One thing we intend making
every effort to do is to compel loggers
to clean up. The litter which has been
left in many places has increased the
destructiveness of forest fires enor-

the vandalism with which some of the
big trees of. the Yosemite had been
treated, and in this connection he Or
