The Wichita Ka^lc of yesterday put
a most effective lie to Special Agent
Swineford's report to the interior de-
partment. claiming that there were
no frauds committed by the officials in
opening th«* Cherokee strip. The fol-
lowing is aclincher that will open the
whole matter before it is through:
Hoke Smith's (rang were not in the
Cherokee strip for their health.
Day by day object lesions in the rot-
tenness am' corruption of the demo-
cratic party ar«* coming to light.
Everybody knows thai it exists, but
it is not always that it ean be proven.
If, however, you give a democrat
rope enough and be patient he will
convict himself.
About Sept. 1 Hoke Smith, secretary
of the interior, sent a number of sni-
veyors to the C'herokes strip to plat
government townsites preparatory to
the opening of the country to settle-
ment. Previous to going to the terri-
tory they stooped a few days at the
Carey hotel in this city, which was
subsequently made headquarters for
the surveying corps
Among the number was a gentleman
named William Moreyf.Ir.
In the assignment for the various
surveyors for the townsited to be lo-
cated in the Cherokee strip. William
Morey, -Ir., was placed in charge of
the corps that surveyed Perry. His
instructions were t  leave two blocks
unsurveyed for • reserves," and he did
so. Subsequently an order came to
him to leave but one block for a re-
serve and to plat the other one This
order did not become generally known
and the people generally took it for
granted that two blocks were reserved.
Air. Morey platted the block as direct-
ed and while doing so the tempter
came and suggested to him that this
was a mighty rareopportunity toinake
a little money.
A democratic oflice holder is always
ready to turn an "honest penny," as
t' e novelists say, when a good oppor-
tunity turns up. and William Morey,
•Jr., was no exception to the rule, evi-
dently.
After the town of I'erry was sur-
veyed Mr Morej bttouffht nil map to
Wichita and immediately proceeded to
.do business. it got noised about
among a select few that Mr. Morey
had about twenty-four select lots in
I'errv for sale at a bargain. He recog-
nized Wichita as a great real estate
town, for he had heard of its l.vely
history back 1h«7-v lie did a thriving
fenainesi and sold Lots to several prom-
inent citizens here* C. M. Joi oion
was advised to patronize him and, ac-
cordingly, wen to the ('are; to meet
him. He told Mr. Johnson the history
of the block and assured him that he
was perfectly -afe in buying as the
public regarded the block in which he
had lots for sale a- "reserved and
would not settle on it He said the
lots would cost Mr. Johnson $10" each
and that he would not have to pay for
them mi!', settlement was made upon
them He also a.-Mired him that he
would be on the ground himself and
locate him.
This was very fair and Mr Johnson
regarded the proposition with favor,
but he told Mr. More, that heeouldn t
hold a lot without .. booth certlfi ate,
and he did not see how he could get
one. as he had no time to spare to go
in line at the booths.
••Why, my dear sir," said Mr. Morey,
4II can tlx that for you for 910,"and
suiting the action to the words he
pulled oil*, a booth certificate already
stamped by the registration clerks,
wrote Mr. Johnson's name in the blank
space, took the 910 and everything
was O. K.
® This was at the Carey hotel, sixty
miles away from any booth.
On the iiitlr day «>f September, the
dslV of the opening of tie* Cherokee
-jtjip. the mad crowd rushed into
IJn'rv. The soldiers guarded this sup
pot#Mllv reserved block and permitted
no«£fic to go on it exe -pt those who
had purchased lots from Mr. Morey
The after was not present when Mr.
Johnson arrived, from some unfore-
seen cause, and instead of Mr. Johnson
settling « n the lot that he bought
from Mr. Morey he pitched his tent in
tin* alley. He did not ascertain his
mistake for a long time, not at lea^t
until some other fellow was on the
lot.
When it dawned upon linn that he
was located in the alley lie became
disgusted and sold his tent and camp-
ing outfit t ) V. I'• Northrup, of this
•citv. who also had secured a lot
through Mr. Morey. Northrup didn't
pay cash down for the tent and outfit,
but Mr Johnson didn't care a straw
for that, as Mr. NortJiiup was perfectly
good.
About a week after the opening Mr.
Morey drew on Mr. Johnson for the
*100. the purchase price of the lot, but
.t'ohnson 'refuted to pay him, for the
reason that he did not get value re-
ceived. Mr. Morey then sued for the
recovery of tlieSloOin Justice Jones'
court, in this city through i\ It. North-
rup as his agent and Adams .V Adams
as his attorneys In his bill of partic-
ulars he alleged that Johnson owed
him the sum <.f $l()() "for services ren-
dered in the month of September'*
The bill of particulars gave no partic-
ulars, for Morey was too sly to say
what the money was actually for and
so were his attorneys. The purchase
price of the tent, etc., which Mr.
No
I Northrup owed Mr. Johnson was also '
garnisheed
Mr. Johnson employed J. J. Parks.
the well known attorney of this city,
to defend the suit and gave him the
whole history of the transaction.
'1 lie first thing Mr Parks did was to
put Mr. Morey in a hole, so he wrote
to the assist ant United States district
attorney for the District of Columbia,
requesting him to take the deposition
of Mr Morey with reference to giving
Mr. Northrup the right to sue in his
behalf. The deposition was ordered
be fort'Notary Harper, of Washington,
D. (. The day came for the hearing
of Mi Moray's evidence and he denied
ever giving Mr. Northrup the right to
make collections for him. He was
compelled to do this, for if he admit-
ted before the assistant district attor-
nev that he did give Mr Northrapj
the right to collect $100 from Mr. 1
Johnson, he would also be compelled i
to say what the Slim was for. and thus Oklahoma i
incriminate himself and stand in im-
minent danger of being fired from his
position for irregularities in office. |
I Ik- deposition was sent here and
when the trial of the ease was called
Mr. Parks moved to dismiss the case
on the grounds that Mr. Morey did not
authorize Mr. Northrup to bring the
suit. Mr Northrup went on the stand
to prove his authority in the premises
and his testimony, so far as it relates
t«  that, is as follow*:
I I! Northrup, being duly sworn,
testified as follows:
Direct examination by Mr. I'arks.

•lit process in up "today and the substitute adopted
l y the committee was presented by
Judge Broderick. The substitute
changed the original bill very mate-
rially, reducing the number of judges
provided for by the bill by one, making
the addition but two.
The bill as passed by the house pro-
vides that hereafter the supreme court
of the territory of Oklahoma shall con-
sist of a chief justice and four associ-
ate justices, any three of whom shall
eon-titute a quorum, but three judges
UU must concur to render an opinion: that
it shall be the duty of the president to
appoint two additional associate jus-
tices of the supreme court, who shall
hold their oHi je for the term of four
\ ears, or until their successors are ap-
pointed and qualified, and who shall
go\ receive the same compensation as now
provided for the justices of the su-
preme court of Oklahoma territory:
that the -aid territory shall be divided
into five judicial districts, and a dis-
trict court shall be held in each
county seat as provided by law. The
supreme court of each territory shall
define said judicial districts and shall
lix the time und places at each county
in each district where the district
coi r. shall be held, and designate the
judge who shall preside therein.
Kach judge, after assignment, shall
reside in the district to which lie is
assigned. The supreme court of said
territory, or the chief justice thereof,
may designate any judge to try a par-
ticular case or eases in any district,
when the judge of said district has
been of counsel or is akin to either
party to the action, or interested, oi-
ls biased or prejudiced in the cause, pr
if f"r any other reason said judge is
unable to hold court.
The district court in each of said
districts shall have the same jurisdic-
tion that district courts of said terri-
tory now possess.
No justice of the supreme court of
said territory shall sit as a member of
said court in the trial of any case de-
cided by him in the district court, or
wherein he has any interest.
As soon as the bill passed the house
it was hurried over to the senate and
placed before the committee on judici-
ary. where it is hoped to secure an
early report. It is desired to have the
bill nut through the senate before the
holiday recess, and the two judges
provided for appointed in time to as-
sume their duties the first of the year.
There has been a strong demand from
the business men of Oklahoma for
some time for extending the court fa-
cilities of Oklahoma, but the house
has been apparently oblivious of the
needs of the people until the point
was reached where some of the mem- 1
bers of the committee on judiciary |
saw a chance to import some of their
political friends into that country,
holding the places provided for by the
ported the following list of provisional
directors for the several states: North
Dakota, L. I). Wallace: South Dakota.
K. C. Herrcid: Nebraska, C. I. Rnndell:
Kansas. I- red J. Close: Oklahoma. Sid-
