TERRITORY MAN SUING DAWES
COMMISSION.
Special Dispatch ta the State Capital.
Muskogee, I. T., S?pt. 26.—'Th*> Dawes
commission has been served with no-
tice of mandamus proceedings to com-
pel the allotment of 12.800 acres of
fine timber land in the Choctaw na-
tion. The suit was brought <^n the
t'nitted States court at Atoka and is
set for hearing October 22.®
The case is the outgrowth of the old
timber troubles in the Choctaw nation*
The land in question was appraised by
the land appraisers at 25 cents an acre.
When the timber appraisers were sent
out, a mistake in the pTht caused them
4o overlook two townships of fine pine
tlmt#r lands in the Choctaw nation.
When the oversight was discovered the
Dawes commission refused to allot this
lan/t as the timber upon it makes it
many times more valuable than the
25 cenMappralsement. James O'Dougl^
erty, who 'brought the mandamus suit
is administrator for Alberta Wade,
who was entitled to allotment, but died
before the selection was made. 1$ now
seeks to compel the commission to give
I her an allotment from these pine tim-
ber lands at the appraised value. As
Leach allottee in the Choctaw nation Is
I entitled to ground equal In value to 1,-
040, Mr. O'Dougherty would receive
several thousands acres of this valua-
ble timber land as his share. After
rselllng the timber and realising a
| handsome sum, the allottee would still
have the land. Tho Dawes commission
iB determined not to allot this land at
the low appraisement unless compelled
to do so by the courts. Th" depart-
ment of th^ interior has not delivered
an opinion In this matter. The com-
mission, however, thinks its position
Justified by the precedent set by the
interior department In+'withholding
lands from allotment which have up-
on them valuable mineral springs.

Opposition Down There
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Ardmore, I. T., Sept. 26.—The Chick-
asaw legislature is struggling with the
delegate proposition recently recom-
mended by Governor Johnston, and it
is likely that a bill will be passed
providing for the appointment of three
representatives to go to Washington to
watch the interests of the Chickasaw
nation #in all matters that may arise.
It is said that. Governor Johnston
will select Governor Mosely, Ed B.
Johnson and Holmes Willis as the del-
egates to represent the Chlckasaws.
The persons mentioned are Indians.
Representative Young, here today, says
that there is opposition in the legisla-
ture to tho appointment of this delega-
tion, inasmuch as the intermarried citi-
zens are without representation on the
delegation. If the bill passes, the gov-
ernor, it is claimed has the power ;o
appoint tho delegates.

Democratic* Meeting There
Hardly Worth Mention
BIG S iOVV NOT GOOD
Mangum People Are Not Inter-
ested in Campaign of Their
Favorite Son and Don't
Turn Out Well
Special Dispatch to the State Capital.
Mangum, okla., Sept. :'i;._The demo-
crats tried hard to arouse some enthu-
siasm among the ranks and file of the
democracy of this county the past week,
but utterly failed.
The best advertised meeting of this
campaign took place on Friday, Chairman
Dunn. C. Porter Johnson and Glddings.
were all advertised to be present, but
none but Dunn reabhed here. The meet-
ing w.ts to have been held on thepquare.
under the arbor, prepared for that pur-
pose. by Hie Wooir.cn of the World,
who held their annual picnic, the previous
day. but there whs not enough to make
a show in the outdoors.
The meeting ufter much band playing
and milling about by the local spell bind-
ers, was Anally held In the court room
When Mr. Dunn apoke, therj was not
more than 200 men present. No enthu-
siasm and hut little Interest was mani-
fested and then only at the stories of
the speaker who is a success on that
line.
The democrats were greatly disappoint-
ed at this failure at the home of their
candidate. Mathews having wholly failed
to accomplish anything for his home town
or county In his twelve years of official
life, the people do not believe in him
much. They are beginning to ask. what
has Frank Mathews done for Mangum
or fjr"er county that merits the considera-
tion of any one for a moment. The only
thing urged in his behalf now is he Is
a home man and I be people here should
stand by him evon If h« has done nothing
to merit It nnd*does not possess the merit
to promise for the future. The people
will not be fooled and the republicans
are solid, with a large number of popu-
lists and many democrats, will roll up a
much larger vote for McGuire, than was
thought of ten days afto o
Each day now brings new advocatesnfor
McGuire, since his coming to tills coun-
ty last week, and his exposure of some
of the false doctrine advocated by the
local spell binders in this county.
Let the people be informed of<rfhe record
of both of these candidates an«l the true
worth of each .and McGuire will have a
walk over and Mathews will have a two
years rest over.

paign in the county and territory.

ening Gov. Ferguson who was In this
part of the territory on business mat-^
ters,"consented to speak and addressed
a very large and appreciative audience.
His speech was very largely devoted to
national issues and policies but Ills re-

Land Sales Were Few.
Special Dispatch lo the State Capital.
Muskogee. 1, T.. Sept. :C>. — Of the 27
pieces of land offered for sale at the Un-
ion agency today only six were sold. The
bids wore rejected because they were
below the appraised value. There wer«s
no bids on nineteen of the pieces which
had been placed on the market.
The failure to dispose of more of the
lands offered for sale at the Union agency
is attributed, by the land buyers, to the
high appraisements madeigiy the govern-
ment appraisers which they claim are
above the real value of the lands.
