state land commissioner, laid claim
10 the island several months ago, in
the name of the state, and like the
explorers OF old, hoisted the states
banner and took charge.
In the meantime the Usage nation
is standing shoulder to shoulder with
their tribesmnn, Larry NoLegs, the
diminutive Usage to whom the island
was allotted as surplus land. His
selection was approved by DIR. Nc
Chesney of Washington, d, c.; Attor-
ney Cassius Il. Peck of Guthrie and
Chief Black Dog Of the Osases, who
constituted the allotting commission.
Later. too. it was approved by Secre-
tarv Garfield of the Interior Depart

May Sell II as Surplus.

AS the owner Of this island, II be-
ing his surplus land allotment, the
federal government has given permis'
sion to Larry NoLegs to sell it at
public auction and the government
appraised value of the raw land is
S297.50. At public sale the land must
bring that figure and as much more
as NoLegs can get for it. The noti'
fication of the sale by the government
was the point where the state began
backing I.unsford, as its agent, TO get
possession. The state has warned the
government, in fact, that the sale
must not take place. agents of the
state have been investigating the rec
ords Of the old Cherokee nation gov
ernment to ascertain whether or not
Turkey Island did pass to the Osages
with their reservation.
Soon after the Cherokee Strip was
opened TO settlement in 1898 w. ii.
/ Edmondson located on Turkey island
and filed claim to it under the home
stead laws. He declared it to be
government land. The government at
one time, in fact, accepted his filing,
but later the Osages claimed the
land also as a part of their reserva-
ton and the title became clouded. A
United States court held that it be-
longed to the Indians and conse-
ouently it was allotted to NoI.egs.
Edmondson entered protest and re-
NAMED in possession. The present
fight for the ownership will go even
tually to the United States supreme
court.

ITALY AND TURKEY.

The Porte has addressed circular
to the Turkish representatives abroad
iustructing them to invoke the good
offices OF the powers with view to
restraining Italy from hostile action
in Tripoli. The grand vizier has
abandoned his projected European
trip owing to the uncertainty OF the
situation.
A more tranquil feeling prevails, as
it is now known that the reported land
ing OF Italians troops in Tripoli is un-
true. and the porte has postponed the
sailing OF transports With war material
for Tripoli.
The Italian liner Regina Margherita,
which was reported to have been cap
tured by Turkish warships at Mersina,
the port of Adana, in Asia Minor,
arrived at Alexandria, Egypt, safety
yesterday afternoon. The steamer
which is one of the fleet of the Nav
