TOI'EKA, HAS.: Attorney Gener-
nl Coleman ha- filed suit in thf' Kan-
sas supreme court, asking that a re-
ceiver be appointed for the Prairie
Oil and Gas company, because th:<t
corporation ha- fail- 1 to comply with
the laws of the state. The Prairie

ber of counties of the state. The
writ was made returnable March P>,
and the answer to thi application will
be made March 30. The papers will
be served in Wyandotte county, be-
cause of the supposition that the in-
terests of the company are centered

DAWES COMMISSION HOLD JOB
Senate Amends Indian Appropriation
Bill Continuing
WASHINGTON: The senate has
adopted as a part of Ihe Indian appro-
priation bill, an amendment offered
by Senator Clapp. which to all intents
and purposes will continue the Dawes
commission in fnfe > until after tin
completion of Indian affairs in the
Indian T-rrilorv. The amendment
provides that the presii". *nt appoint
for the purp< e, a committee or com
mi ion with Ihe same power as the
Dawes commission. It is believed
that the amendment will pass.

Pedagogs of Indian Territory May
Now Get Their Money
MUSKOGEE: At last the teach-
ers in the Creek and Cherokee n>
tions are to receive their pay. Th*
Indian agency has received a telegram
from Washington stating that tho
auditor has issued the voucher fot
the funds to pay the teachers, an':
this has been forwarded to St. Louis.
Superintend' nt Benedict is greatly
relieve ! now that the teachers are to
I', paid their salaries. For five
months he has been annoyed by teach-
ers and boarding home keepers who
v ere demanding mon y. There are
approximately 200 te-chers in Creek
and Cherokee schools, who have not
received their pay for five months.
The reason for the delay, the super-
intendent declares, is largely due to
the unfortunate complication of the
government funds in the hands of the
Indian agent. The bond required of
Mr. Benedict is $200,000, and the law-
does not permit him to have more
than this amount on hand, and as
there are so many funds from which
the agent must disburse, the money
supply is exhausted long before the
question of paying the teachers is
reached.
Mr. Benedict is endeavoring to de-
vise some scheme whereby this per-
plexing problem will be solved next
year. Already he is finding it diffi-
cult to secure teachers, and if the
present conditions are to continue he
fears it will be impossible to supply
competent teachers for Indian Terri-
tory schools.
INDIANS AVOIDING OFFICERS
Deputy Marshals Have a Bunch of
Fullbloods in the Flint Hills
PRYOR CREEK: Fifteen or twenty
deputy United States marshals are
searching the flint hills, twelve miles
east of here, for the Wickliffe boys,
fullblood Cherokees, who killed
Deputy Marshal Yeir a few days ago.
There are three of the Wickliffea, and
t'.iey have gathered about eight other
Indians who are on the scout for vari-
ous offenses. They are said to be all
armed with Winchesters. They have
told their friends that they intend to
swap off with the officers, which
means a fight to the death. The
band is scouting in a mountainous
and heavily timbered country, in
habited by fullbloods, who keep them
informed of the movement of the of-
ficers. and it is expected that more
killing will take place before the gang
is broken up.
