LIBEL SUIT BRINGS TO LIGHT SOME
VERY SHADY INDIAN LAND DEALS

Judge CobO's officials acts with re
gard TO Indian and transact ons had
been taken up 10 the district court.
Just prior to TINS attempo on the
part OF counsel for the plaintiff to
show no appeals mad Deen instituted

Cobb's cour., took the position ina:
appeals are pernissaO.e. This point
VIII be settled Saturday morning,
PROBABLY before arguments are be
gun. Counsel for tne defendant com
pany rested Friday afternoon after
introducing mass OF evidence show
ing that Indian lands in Seminole
county are worth from IS to $25 an
acre, the same lands which have been
sold to Judge Cobb and others a. as
low figures as $1.25 an acre.
Judge Cobb said it is very diff
cult to close deals with minor In
dilns, relating that in numerous in
stances these minors have been dis
covered trudging through life with
two cognomens.
1t was shown by Judge Cobb's
testimony that II T. King had dis
posed of practically all lands of minor
| Indians for whom he had been ap-
| pointed guardian.
William Johnson was one OF the
Seminole county citizens placed on
the stand by the defense to establish
the contention that the lands alleged
to have been manipulated by Judge
Cobb and his alleged co.conspirators
We're worth considerably more than
they brought. Johnson was a candi-
date last year for sheriff of Seminole
county. He admitted who in the
hell is Bill?" was his slogan in the
campaign.
One of the Seminole county farmer
witnesses was attacked by counsel
of the plaintiff on the charge that
he was disbeliever in a supreme be
ing. The witness said he believed in
"a God of love-" but not in a butcher
Cod
In the statement of counsel for the
plaintiff, made to the jury Wednes-
day morning, counsel for plaintiff said
he believed he would be able to
show that Judge Cobb had never
been indicted by a Seminole county
grand jury" Judge Burwell showed
conclusively Friday that the grand
jury of Seminole county returned
three true bills of Indictment against
Judge Cobb in 1909 Assistant AttOr-
ney General Charles l.. Moore was
placed on the stand to testify as TO
his connection with the returning OF
the bills of indictment against Cobb.
He testified he assisted in making
the investigation which involved
Judge Cobb in the alleged minor In
dian land fraud cases, and that ne
was present and in the grand jury
room when the bills of indictment
were returned.

lFrom Iho Ok.ahomanl

In the trial of the libel suit styled
T. S Cobb against the Oklahoma Pub
fishing Company. in the district court,
Friday afternoon, evidence was ad-
duced showing that T. 5. Cobb, the
plantif and county Judge OF Seminole
coun.y, recently purchased two tracts
of Indian lands of deceased Indians
before their bodies were buried. The
evidence showed further that the
price Judge Cobb paid in both III
stances was low.
Evidence was also adduced in sub
sanitation of the charges made by
the attorney general in brief filed
with the state supreme court in 1903
that Judge COBB and II. r. King,
r. e. JAYNE and j. l.. 5. Barham form
ed a combination to detraud minor
Indians out of their lands. 1t was
shown that King, as guardian Of
a tract of more than 200 acres OF
land in Seminole county, at the time
the property of Moilie Hario, an In.
dian woman. sought to get an order
authorizing him as the guardian OF
/ Jennie Harjo, to sell the property. II
was shown by evidence that the Har-
10 tract was being rented for $3.50
a year, and that King, the guardian,
had planned to dispose Of it to Barn
ham for 1915. Notwithstanding Jennie
/ Hario had this income of $3.50 per
annum from the rental of the land,
the evidence showed that King had
planned to dispose of it to Barnham
for exactly $l5 more than it rented
for each year. The application OF
King lcr an order to sell the land re-
cited that Jennie Harjo was in des-
titute circumstances and stood in
need of schooling. The evidence
showed also that Jennie Harjo was
petween 4 and years old at the
time of application OF King toJudge
Cobb for an order authorizing the sale
of the Hario tract, and that she was
not, therefore, in dire need either
of schooling or the necessities of

Memory Still Bad.

Memory Still Bad.
Judge Cobb, plaintiff in the suit
against the Oklahoma Publishing com
pany, in which he seeks to get a
judgment for $4,000 on the grounds
that he was l.beled in an article writ
ten in January, by p. T. Moore, then
the Guthrie staff correspondent of
the Oklahoman, which appeared un-
der "A Muskogee date line, was on
the stand for an hour Friday after
noon. His memory" was not much
improved over the day before, and
from the description he gave of Sem
mole county. it is not a place one
would seek as a location. He said
there are probably not more than a
dozen good farm houses in the coun-
ty This bit of information was elic-
tied when Attorney J. B. Burwel, for
the defense, was endeayoring to have
Judge Cobb recall a weather-boarded
house situated on one Of the tracts
ot land involved in the alleged land
fraud deals.
According to his own testimony
Judge Cobb purchased one tract of
land belonging to deceased minor
Indian girl, consisting of t6O acres.
for $500, paying $50 down and giving
his promissory note for the balance,
without security, while the minor In.
dian girl lay a corpse in her fathers
home. He justified mis- transaction
by claiming the father had no funds
with which 10 purchase coffin and
shroud for his deceased daughter.
saying the father came into his pri-
vate office at Wewoka and voluntari-
ly offered to sell him the land.
Judge Cobb gave evidence that he
had bought some Indian lands at
$l.25 an acre; that one tract he paid
s40O for was subsequently disposed
of for $1,000,
Counsel for the defense have in
troduced thirty exhibits. the contents
OF which viii be read to the Jury
Saturday. One of these is a copy OF
the Seminole Capital, published at
Wewoka. 1t contains an account OF
the meeting held i'm Wewoka the
same day the indictments were re-
TUNED against Judge Cobb charg-
inc him and others with having
formed a conspiracy to defraud mi

ing Of the article, which wes marked
rs exhibit so, was one of the anus
ing features of Friday afternoons
proceedings. II was fulsome article,
and contained a set of resolutions
comnending and endorsing Judge
Cobb and cauSticaly criticising car
petbaggers," which it alleged were
back of the move to indict Judge
Cobb simply to diScredit him. Judge
Cobb admitted on the stand that all
that had been done against him by
his enemies, the carpe;baggers and
the publication of the alleged libel
Gus article by the Oklahoma Publish
ing company. had not pleased him,
and that in the race for probate Judge
of Seminole county last year he led

TO RUSH RECIPROCITY
House Takes Up Consideration of
Canadian Agreement.

The house decided to take up the
consideration of the reciprocity agree
ment with Canada at once and rush it
to vote.
The vote was 121 to 105. The vote
against taking up the measure came
almost wholly from the Republican
side. The Democrats voted almost
solidly for immediate considera-
tion Some of the Republicans who
voted against displacing the regular
order are not expected to place them
selves on record against reciprocity
at a final vote.
Mr.. Mccall of Massachusetts will
handle the time for debate in favor
of the bill and Mr. Dalzell of Pennsyl-
vania will serve in like capacity for
the opposition.

mention last week of the return, on
Aug. IS, of John NJ. Maher and his
son, Jimmie Maher, and Joe Casso
from a two weeks trip to Denver

having had a most interesting and
instructive outing, and enjoyed many
novel experiences, chief among which
was indulging in a SNOWFALL battle
on the top of one OF the high peaks
of the Rockies in the vicinity of
Denver. 1t was so cool in that de-
lightful city during the stay of the
Donaldsonvillians that they found
it comfortable to sleep under blan-
kets at night, and shortly before
their arrival two travellers, a man
and his wife, had frozen to death
while attempting to walk to the top
of Pixies Peak. Mr.. Maher has a
photograph showing the bodies OF
these unfortunate tourists lying in the
snow near the top Of the peak, and
he also brought back with him a
number of other interesting photo
graphs and souvenirs Of the trip,
which he, is exhibiting to his friends.
