BANKERS DROP
TO LAST PLACE

The Bankers lost to the Golden Rule
last Saturday afternoon in game
that was marked by heavy hitting,
good support and sensational plays.
The losing of Saturdays game plac-
ed the Bankers at the foot of the
league standing while the Golden Rule
became close rival to the High
School for second place and the los
ing of single game will throw any
club to the very bottom of the list
now so close have the contests be-
come. This afternoon the Bankers
mix with the High School and although
the students have taken two previous
games from this team the result is
very much in doubt and should be
close as well as interesting.

granted to them by the emperor of
Merico, for when in 1926 one John
Dunn Hunter, agent of the Cherokees,
visited Mexico to receive the title ia
the lands he met with refusal. Mex.
leo, it was stated, was quite ready
and willing to receive the Cherokees
as colonists, but not as citizens
neither would that government grant
them lands to be held in common.
Indians licensed.
This action greatly incensed the In.
dians, and the result was that the In.
dians decided to turn against the
Mexicans and ally themselves with
the white people, with the distinct un-
derstanding that they were to receive
title to their lands from the white
people in the event they were success
full in finally wrestling the lands from
the Mexicans, On December 27, 1926,
Hunter and Fields, as delegates of
the Cherokees, concluded a treaty of
amity and friendship with the whites
upon the basis of this understanding
But the Mexicans got some of the
Cherokees under their influence and
under promises of titles to their lands
induced Chief Bowles and a number
of his followers to turn against his
associates and against the Texans.
Bowles or The Bowl event went so far
as to assassinate, or to have assassi-
mated, his associates, Chiefs Hunter
and Fields. Eventually Bowles fell in
battle and but a few years ago, just
before the dissolution of the Chero-
kee nation in Oklahoma, his sword
was presented to the Cherokee nation
by one in whose custody it had been
placed
The Cherokees who did not join
Chief Bowles and who remainer in
alliance with the Texans were to be
rewarded, for at the Consultation of
Texas" held at San Felipo de Austin,
November l3, 1888, the delegated au-
thorities of Texas entered into a
solemn declaration with the Chero-
KEGS, to which both parties set their
names, setting forth that the Chero-
kee Indians and their associate bands
had derived just claims from the Mex
lean government to the lands lying
to the north Of the San Antonio road
and the Naches, and west of the Ange-
lima and Sabine rivers; that the gov
ernor and council Immediately upon
its organization should appoint com
to treat with the said In
dians and establish the definite boun-
dary Of their territory and secure
their confidence and friendship. 1t
was further agreed that the Indians
would be guaranteed the peaccable en-
joyment Of their rights to their lands;
that all surveys, grants and limits

made within those limits after the
settlement of the Indians were, and
of right ought to be, utterly null and
void
These were the solemn pledges
made by the delegates of all Texas,
and in pursuance of them Sam Hous-
ton, who had a few years previous liv-
led among the Cherokees west of the
Mississippi, and one Forbes, on be-
half of the republic of Texas, journey
ed to "Bowles' Village so named in
honor of Chief Bowles, and there they
concluded the treaty of February %.
1886.
But the Cherokees were destined
soon to experience the turning against
them of the Texans, for in the year
1889 the forces of Texas fiercely at

vation and after two bloody battles,
in which many Indians We're killed.
the Cherokees fled from their country,
leaving all their property and effects.
The cause for this unexpected assault,
according to the historian, was that
the white settlers desired the fertile
lands of the district ceded to the
Cherokees, The settlers, or many of
them, as excuse pleaded that the Cher
okees had proved treacherous and aid
ed the Mexicans, the action of Bowles
and his band being in mind.
History of Acquisition.
In summing up the entire matter
the historian remarks: "The facts
are these; that in 1922, long before
any eolonist had settled in eastern
Texas or any colony contract had been
made for that section, the Cherokees
emigrated to Texas. They establish
ed village north of Nacadoches, the
town at that time being waste, late
ly swept by the forces of Lory and
PERI. On November s of that year
the Cherokees, by Captain Richards
and others of their head men, entered
into an agreement with the govern
ment of Texas by which it is stipulated
that certain Cherokee chiefs should
proceed with their Interpreter to
Mexico to treat with the Emperor
lturbide for the settlement Of their
tribe where 1t was then located In
the meantime this agreement guaran-
teed to the Cherokees the free and
peaceful right to cultivate their crops
and the privileges Of natives. The
chiefs proceeded to Mexico and the
imperial government having satisfied
them-whether verbally or in writing
it matters not-they returned An
order from the supreme government
was dispatched to the commandant
general of the eastern provinces and
