GUSTS INDIAN COUNCIL
Seven Leaders of Usage Tribe
Removed by Secretary Fisher.
TROUBLE OVER OIL LANDS
Members Of Council Declared
Improperly Influenced in Dis.
posing of Tribal Interests.

Washington, Jan. g. Seven memb~r,
of the Usage Indian tribal council We're
removed from Office to-day by Secretarv
Fisher. who charges that the councu
was influenced by the Uncle Sam on
Company and three individual applicants
who had tried to secure the lease OF SO-
zoo acres of oil and gas land comprising
the entire unleased Fart OF the Usage Res.
ervation The Secretary ordered A new
council elected the latter part OF this
month.
The Department OF Justice has been in
formed by the Secretary OF the conduct
of certain persons in connection with OBJ
tanning these leases and asked 10 take
such action as the facts warrant
The Indian council, three members of
which were ordered out some time ago
refused 10 obey Secretary Fishers Or
der In regard to filling the vacancies, and
this was another cause which led 10 TO-
days action by the Secretary.
The recent bid for 1900 acres OF Usage
oil land, said to have been the most IA
yorable bid ever made for lease OF In
dian lands, was turned down by the
tribal council, and the powerful infu.
ence OF the previous applicants is alleged
by the Secretary to have been responsible
Notwithstanding the fact that the coun-
ell was requested, IN petition signed bv
more adult members of the Usage trib.
than voted for the council when II was
elected. il refused to execute the lease
II would have given the Isdians for their
oil land rights royalty % per cent higher
than any previously paid, and In addition
8 cash bonus of $1,000.
Recent Investigation OF affairs al the
Usage Indian agency, Secretary Fisher
says. revealed evidence Of conspiracy
by applicants for oil leases. and that
members Of this conspiracy exerted IN
due influence over members OF the coun-
ell He adds:
II was learned that interests In some Of
the four leases had been given to mem
bers or the Usage tribe. interma fried cit-
Zens of the tribe. attorneys and Others.
The report shows that the council was
under the domination Of these influences
surrounding its members. and that the
action TO be taken at council meetings.
and the resolutions TO be passed by IL
with reference to other leases were fixed
in advance at meetings I'm offices In Paw
huska Of persons having secret interests
in some OF the four leases.
Secretary Fisher declined last June to
approve the leases of the Uncle Sam Oil
Company and the three persons who wers
seeking the 10000 acres.
Bacon Rind and Henry Redeagle prin-
cipal and assistant chief. respectively, ot
the Usage tribe. who were declared re-
moved from their offices some time ago
by Secretary Fisher. assert that he had
no authority for such action In their
cases. Their places were ordered nlied
by the new election ordered to-day.

At first the local paper the Guardian welcomed the suggestion that they should be transported thither like Napoleon Dinizulu, Gen, Cronje and other inconvenient militants of former times But in it's latest issue the Guardian says: We have changed our opinion as to the desiTability of having such lawless persons in our midst, for no one knows what they might do in our present defenseless condition"

An exceptionally interesting meeting of the Norwich board of trade is promised fer Monday evening next. Many matters of importance will come before the members, and the fall aetiv- ities of the beard will start with much 2est, from all present appearances. It is time for everybody te put their kicks in their pocket and come forward and support these who are endeaVering to benefit the city through the board of trade.
 After the business meeting Frank H. Allen, a member of the beard, who re- gently conducted a party of tourists en q trip to Europe, embracing many of the principal cities, has yielded to much persuasion and has agreed to tell about the journey, and will have shown by a redectograph machine 8 great many photographs and views se cured by the party.
