REPRESENTATIVE MILLER
From Thursday's Weekly.
Cleveland county's representative
in the Oklahoma legislature, Hon. H.
O. Miller, is taking a leading part in
deliberations and work of that body.
He has secured excellent committee
assignments, such as will make him
influential in his work, being a mem-
ber of the important Committees on
Appropriations, Cotton Warehouses
and Grain Elevators, Education, Pub
lie Buildings, Elections, and Agricul-
ture. The Transcript congratulates
him, and the county upon having such
a representative man.

DEATH OF MRS. J. O. DODDS
Mrs. J. O. Dodds, who moved here
from Wheatland some months ago,
and was residing in the McDonald
property on West Symmes, suffered
a stroke of paralysis last week, from
the effect of which she passed away
yesterday at 5:30 p> m. The services
were held today with Rev. Morrison
of Henden officiating, burial being
made in Wheatland cemetery. To the
bereaved family and relatives go out
the entire sympathy of the commu-
nity.
"The Mississippi Choctaws, who re- ,
fused to emigrate with the tribe to the 1
new country west and who never shar-
ed in the burdens and hardships of
the pioneer life incident tc the estab-
lishment of the new tribal govern-
ment west of the Mississippi " he con-
tended, "at this late date, now that
the tribal property of the Choctaw
nation, made valuable by the emi-
grants, is being divided per capita
among the enrolled citizens of the
nation, have no equitable right to
share in the property."
Secretary Lane said the Mississippi
Choctaws had been to an unusual ex-
tent the victims of numerous extor-
tionate contracts, and correspondence
in many cases he said, "indicates that
contracts were obtained through mis-
representations to facts and in some
cases contracts were obtained from
claimants who believed that the per-
sons obtaining the contracts were gov-
ernment agents."

CIGARETTE ORDINANCE
The Transcript learns there is a
feeling among the councilmen that
the cigarette ordinance is too strin-
gent in some of its provisions, and
that it will probably be repealed and
new ordinance enacted applying
only to minors, and with an age limit
named, possibly 16 or 18 years.

There will be a mass convention of

District Judge B. F. Swank held his
first court yesterday in the case of
Albert Rennie seeking a writ of man-
damus to compel Principal Foster of
the Jackson school to allow Hazel
Rennie to return to school, from
which she had been suspended.
Chas. Thomason, president of the
school board, demurred to court's
jurisdiction. The demurrer was sus-
tained.
The case grew out of a basket ball
game, where little Hazel Rennie acci-
dentally broke a window. Principal
Foster refused to allow the child to
come back to school till the damage
had been paid.
