Ardmore Democrat: There is noth-
ing left undone to make the combi-
nation celebration of the admission of
the territory to the Union, the birth
of Ardmore and the reunion of the
Confederate Veterans on July 27 and

that has ever been held in the south-

mittee hopes to have the four men

getting statehood—Senators Bailev of
Texas, and Ixmg of Kansas; and Con-
gressmen Stephens, of Texas, and

Ardmore Democrat: The recent Cur-
tis act regulating the final disposi-
tion of the affairs of the five civilized
tribes has caused some confusion
and considerable anxiety. Sections 12
and 1" seemed to conllict and Secre-
tary Hitchcock has rendered a deci-
sion that in so far as the two sections
applied to the coal and asphalt lands
section 13 would govern.
HeiV are the two sections in Ques-
tion:
Section 12. The secretary of the In-
terior is authorized to sell, upon such
terms and under such rules and reg-
ulations as he may prescribe, all lots
in towns in the Choctaw and Chicka-
saw nations reserved from snnfalse-

New State Tribune: Clark J. Tis-
del, master in chancery for the fed-
eral court at Muskogee, has issued a
summons for every guardian and ad-
ministrator or executrix in his iuris-
dietlon to come in and make a report
of their stewardship. This is stirring
things up considerably in the West-
ern district. There are about 1000
guardians in Judge Tisdell's jurisdic-
tion. and there is a large per cent
of these that have not made a re-
port to the court. Soon after the
summons is issued those who do not
come in and make a report will be
arrested on bench warrants for con-
tempt of court. Judge Raymond is-
sued a similar order in the entire dis-
trict two years ago and an effort was
made to straighten up thousands
of old cases that were then on the
docket, but this work was not more
than half completed. It served to dis-
close some remarkable methods of tak-
ing care of estates, however, that
caused the courts to take notice of
this sort of business.
