Erroneous Reports.
Many of the leading papers of the
territory are charging the jury
in the late Beall case with bribery.
Some one (we kno.v not whom) has
started the report that one member of
the jury lias sinco committed
suicide rather than hear the odium of
being openly charged with bribery.
We wish to repeat it again that such
report is absolutely ialse and was oulv

men who stand as high as any citizen j

there is not one person in mi hundred I

ciary of the territory in the highest I
esteem, and especially Judge McAtce.
who has strengthened himself in the
estimation of the people of 1.1 Reno by
fairness and impartiality in pre-
siding over the most important crim-
inal trial ever held in ' iklahoma. In
regard to the members of the jure be-
ing bribed, however, we believe that
the Judge has been nosled by street
talk that had no foundation in fact.
It is unfortunate that <uch report
gained a semblen e of credence, for it
does the members of the jury a great
injustice.
A Country with a Great Future.
.Modi has been said to the detri-
ment of the vast country lying to
the west of Kl lieno known as west-
ern < Iklahoma. 'It has been repre-
sented as a dry. barren waste, hardly
fit to be used as the abiding place of
man. except for the ranger and cow-1
boy, who at one time roamed over
that v;ist. country so abundantly wa-
tered >y the great streams of the,
Washita awl Kcd Hiver. Little more
; than two yeais have passed since this
\ country .formerly known as theChey-
! enue and Arapahoe reservation, was
i thrown open to settlement. Since
I that time its settlement and develop-
i nicut have been remarkable. Every
j state and territory in the I'nioii have
j furnished its share of sturdy, indus-
trious farmers who have taken up
'■ hollies and have shown by the results
■ of their labor that it is an agricultur-1
i al country unsurpassed by old Okla-
I homa or the surrounding states for
I fertility of soil and yield of ngricul-
tural products. The soil of tbecoun
! try is of a dark sandy loam, the up-j
lands being covered with a heavy i
growth of luxuriant grasses which j
grow from one to live feet in height, j

timber dot the beautiful country and I

The Celebration at Anadarko.
l'rank Farwell.captain of the lviow.:
and Comanche Indian scout-, and
| d-ptit v I - S. marshall, came up f- „
his home at Anadarko last Saturday.
! Captain Farwell said the celebration

var was on a larger -cale than ever
liefore. At no other jilace in the
I'nited States could have been -ecu

bration of our country's birth day.
Almost the entire Comanche tribe was
there besides Kiowa, Caddo, W ichitas

it may be done.
Now. as I said, they have a million
dollars in the treasury of the C. S. to
their credit, and I have suggested
that they be allowed to use one-half
of it. Now I am going lo represent
that this silver which 1 hold in my
hand represents the million dollars;
there are ten silver pieces, it' I take
half away and 1 >111, it, in that hand
and leave the other half in the treas-
ury, w hy that half will continue to
J remain in the treasury and will draw
interest just as it is doing now. but I
take this half and set it aside to the
1 credit of these Indians and I will di
vide it up so that each one has hi:

vation of the Indian, to lift him out
of his degradation and place him on

these people; I ha ve lived here among

eight years; I have watched tliem
from the time I arrived here and
noted their condition at the time they
were represented as being much
1 greater in number; when the census
j was taken it- was found to be :ioOO,
and it has been growing less and less

by the advice of the agent what he j watching down tron, abov
to hear, and then I expect them to
tell you whether I am advising you
for vour good or not.
This council is held in the broad
light of day. with the sun shining
down upon us and the great spit it
who is
waiting to see what your action will
he "nd what decision you are going
to make, and it is to him you must
look for guidance in the course you
determine to follow. When we want
to do something bad, something
wicked, we do not seek the broad
light of day, as we have done here
today, but we hover in the dark, un-
der cover and bide our motive and
we try to pursnade people so they
will not see our selfish motives. Me
are not actuated by any such motives
as that; we would not invoke the
great spirit to look down upon us
: ami hear what is said: we would not
| have the Hev. Mr. Dwyer offer a
! prayer to guide us in our course, and
I the two chiefs, Old Crow and Black
1 Haven, pray to the great spirit for
i guidance, we would not have done
I that if we had any scheme we wanted
j to play 011 these people. ^ oil know
j that the soldiers are your friends and
to tliem you come whenever you are
iu trouble; you know that 111 tlieiu
- you have a friend that would guide
you and protect you whenever trou-
ble conies upon you. You know how
quickly the soldiers came to your
relief on a recent occasion when you
were in great trouble 011 thu upper
Washita and w hen your people were
11, their camps treinpliiig with fear
of the white men who hail your
camps surrounded; you know what
great relict you felt when you saw
Captain Hunter's command inarching
over the bills as they came down just
iu time to save those three young men
1 from being killed. I stand before
you today a representative soldier, a
n,1111 that talks straight, who does not
j talk crookedness, but what is right
| and in order that you may know
what is right; 1 would not advise
you to accept this plan if 1 did not
| think it was for your own good; I
would not advise you to spend your
moiu'v this wav unless it wasgoinjf
to be a benefit to you; 1 never was
more earnest in any statement 1 ever
made in my life than I am today; 1
never was more thoroughly con-
vinced that it is for your good, and
more for your good than for anything
else or any other plan that could be
submitted to you. I know that there
are those among you that have been
purs muled that this is not good for
you; I know there are those who are
opposed to this plan of using your
money in this way; you have been
told it was not a good thing to do,
but I tell you that those men are ad-
vising you against- your interests;
those men are not alive to the good
results that will follow; they cannot
appreciate the benefit that is going
to be derived from this money; they
are governed by selfish motives and
have advised you to work against
this plan for their own selfish mo-
tives.
Now I want you to go to your
homes and tell the people what has
been said here today, and set down
in your camps and talk this matter
| over and make up your minds what
j you 'will do; we do not want to be in
| a hurry about this matter; we have
not been in a hurry; this matter was
\ submitted to you oine s-x mouths
ago. and V"ii were told then lo go
home and think about it and talk it
oyer and we have brought you here
today that all might understand it
and have it fully explained to you.
1 want you to go home and with your
families and these educated boys, who
have heard what lias been said today
and 1 w ant you to ask tliem questions
.f you do not understand what has

you what the agent said. I see many
i "that understand the language; I see
many young men who have been to
school and understand every word I
j say, and I want them to be careful
I to ex plain everything to their friends
so there will be no doubt about what
has been stated. Do not belioye any-
