Some Legal History.

TIIIS sketch has to do with the conditions
n that existed in Tulsa so far as relate to
the holding Of courts and the transaction Of
public business at the beginning of 1908, about
the time the city began to take on real and
substantial growth,
At that time the construction of the Robin
SON hotel had not been begun. The brick build
ing furthcrcSt south ON Main street was the
room now occupied by the Frick Reed Supply
company, and the Alexander building located
Immediately across the street was then in pro,
cess of construction. At that time Tulsa had
not yet become a meca for the legal profess
sion, because there were then no courts held
in Tulsa
Most of what is now Tulsa county was then
included in the old Eighth recording district
The court town was Sapulpa, and there all
Deeds mortgages and instruments affecting
titles to real estate were required to be filed
for record. There was held at Sapulpa twice
year a session OF the United States terri
toral court and there was located at SapuIpa
a United States commissioner which office was
held by Hon. Samp Jennings.
There was then no provision for the hold
ing of any court in Tulsa except mayor
court, the mayor having jurisdiction then! con
fcrrcd upon Justices of the peace of Arkansas
in matters criminal and civil arising within the
corporate limits Of the city over which he pre-
sided.
During the session of congress of 1904 and
1903 an attempt was made to pass an act au-
thOriZng the creation of a new state out of
Oklahoma territory and Indian Territory and
during the time this bill was under consider
alton Tulsa attempted to secure some egSla-
ton which would provide for the holding of
terms of court at Tulsa until the organization
of the new state. This bill, however, failed of
passage and it was during the summer of 1905
that the celebrated Scquoyah constitutional
convention was convened and held at Musko-
gee This gathering was convened upon the
authority of Joint proclamation issued by the
several chiefs of the five civilized tribes of
Indians and delegates were selected TO- attend
I'm accordance with the plan proposed The
purpose Of this convention was to organize an
Independent state out of the territory then
embraced within the five civilized tribes and
known as the Indian Territory. The plan was
to adopt a constitution, organize a state gov
ernmcnt and attempt to. have the same rati-
fled and confirmed by congress and the pro
posed new state admitted into the union, under
the name of the state of Sequoyah
Plan Was Abandoned.
This so-caled SeQuoyah plan. of statehood
met with much opposition and by the time for
the cOnvening of congress in December, 1905,
it was apparent that this plan would not be
ratified by congress and that if statehood was
to be secured it must be by uniting Oklahoma
territory and Indian Territory into one state.

Many old-tme OkIahomans will remember
the circumstances of the. organization OF the
special train of delegates from the various por-
tions of the state who made the trip to Wa,.

1908. This delegation was headed by the late
C. G. Jones, better known to old-timers as
"Grist Mill Jones, the man who built the
Arkansas Valley & Western railroad from
Tulsa to Enid. While Mr.. Jones may have
had his limitations, his enthusiasm had none
This was the celebrated Oklahoma delegation
known as the Razorbacks, a name which at

1t was with this delegation that the little

Working in harmony with the plan adopted
at Oklahoma City, the Commercial club of
Tulsa, of which body l.. j. Martin was the
president, and c. S. Walker secretary, in De-
cember, 1905, selected W. j. Gregg to go to
Washington to work in connection with the
delegates from other parts of the proposed new
state to secure legislation fayorable to state

Tulsa Overlooked.

At the time of the division of the Indian
Territory into recording districts and the eS-
tabShment of court towns therein Tulsa had
not begun to grow and was not regarded as
a point of any commercial. Importance. Sit
uatcd as it was at the corner of the three In
dian nations, the Creek, Cherokee and Usage,
it had been overlooked or neglected as a place
for holding terms of court. The town of Tulsa
was located partially in the Creek nation and
partially III the Cherokee nation, but in divld-
ing the territory into recording and judicial
districts strict regard was had to the Indian
national lines and that portion Of the town
known as North Tulsa situated in the CherO-
kee nation was included within the Northern
judicial district of Indian Territory, with the
court located at CarcniOre whereas the pOr-
tiOn in the Creek nation was in what was
known as the Western judicial district of the
Indian Territory, with the court located at
Sapulpa, so that the town was located in two
separate Jurisdictions. 1t, therefore, became of
vital importance to Tulsa that some re-adjust-
ment of this territory and the judicial author
ity should be made. But before sufficient ter
rtory Immediately surrounding Tulsa could
be secured to form the basis of recording
district or court town it was necessary to take
from the Cherokee nation and it was desired
to secure part of the Usage nation
Tulsa s Commercial club undertook this task
and as a result of its efforts secured a new re-
cording district, taken partially from the old
Eighth recording district in the Creek nation
and the Fourth recording district in the Cher
okee nation and thereby formed new re
cording district known as the Twenty eighth
recording district with Tulsa as the court
town and the place where the records were
to be kept. The 'Twenty-eighth recording dis
trict was added to and made part of the
Western judicial district of the Indian Terri
tory, Notwithstanding a portion of the terri
tory included in such district was embraced
within the Cherokee nation.

A Struggling Town.

At that time Tulsa had only about four
thousand population. Broken Arrow and Col
lmsville were thriving and growing towns
with ambitions to become the center of the ter.
ritory, which in the organization of the state
should comprise counties, so that they might
be county seat towns Finally, however, as
the result of much compromise and efforts

Ancient Fort Destroyed in Haiti

Washington, Dec. 28.-By the
capture and destruction of Fort
Riviere, an old stone structure
held by superstitious Hai,ians as
impregnable and favored of the
revolutionary gods, the rebellious
Cacos of northern Haiti were
crushed, and the pacification
work Of the United States Marine
Corps in that section of the turbu-
lent little island was finished.
Not an American Marine was in
jured in the dangerous undertak-
ing, according to official reports
just received at headquarters of
the Marine Corps.
Fort Riviere was built by the
French when Haiti was colonial
possession of that country and
has been the headquarters of the
Caco bandits for years. 1t has al
ways been hotbed of revolution
and Marine Corps officers rea-
lizcd that it would have to be
captured and destroyed before
lasting peace could come to that
section.
Major Smedley Darlington But.
Ter led the expedition against
Riviere, and to the 9Th company,
under Captain William w. Low,
was assigned the task of making
the main or frontal attack. This
company deployed at a distance
Of about 1900 yards from the fort
and advanced upon it in extend
ed order. The Caco fire was con-
tinuous but the aim Of the attack
ing party of Marines was so dead
ly that they were enabled in
very short time to get into posi-
ton from which the ffeft could be
stormed. With characteristic
dash they were upon the works,
and although the Cacos stuck to
their guns until the Marines had
actually entered the fort, they
were unable to inflict a single |
casualty in the ranks Of the sea
Maj. Butler then ordered the
fort dynamited and when the last |
stones of the old structure were |
destroyed, the revolutionary
hopes and ambitions of the north |
Haiti Cacos were buried beneath |
the ruins of Riviere.

sinister presence Of guards did
not diminish the gayety of Christ
mas in the Missouri state prison
here. In the women 8 department
this year for the first time there

and a musical program. There
were 1876 men and sixty-one wo-

a pathetic feature of yester-
day e celebration in the women 8
