Bushyhead Puts Up Plucky Fight
and Should Be Proud of the Com-
plimentary Vote.
The polls closed here Tuesday even-
ing on the first state election ever
held In Indian Territory. Excitement
has been running very high, but will
abate somewhat until the convening
of the convention.
The Wth District Republicans put
up a hard fight, and polled a good vote,
but the democrats took advantage of
them, and outvoted them by about
two hundred votes. Dr. Bushyhead
is feeling very good over the returns,
and certainly did well, considering
the large Democratic majority which
all know is In the district.
The campaign has been a very clean
one, very little dirty tricky work be-
ing done on either side, and we wish
to publicly acknowledge the thanks
of the Messenger to the Democratic
leaders for the manner In which they
have treated the Republican candi-
date. every one of them saying noth-
ing but good of him. Of course, there
were a few little tricks played as be-
tween the two parties, but they were
small matters and cut no ice in the
campaign. The Democratic organi-
zation has beem almost perfect In this
District, and over all Oklahoma as
well. The Republicans have been
greatly handicapped by not having a
harmonious state committee and but
few local workers in this district.
The vote by precincts follows:

The Talala Bank Robbers.
The account of the capture of the
men supposed te have been guilty of
burglarizing the Talala bank makes
quite interesting reading. It seems
that after the robbery five (leeks who
work on the railway found II,ooo in
a pond at the side of the track. They
took it with them, but in the division
one was disappointed, and gave the
deal away to the officers. The Creek
were arrested, and are being held as
witnesses.
Soon after this the train unloaded
passenger who started down the
track, and suspicioiiing him the of
Meers followed. He purported to be
hunting. Two others, also hunt ing,
came up the tiack from Oolagah and
Joined him. All three were taken In
charge on suspicion.
About $100 was found in the poses-
si on of oue of the Creeks, but the
balance has not been recovered.
Indian Cavalry Organized.
A troop of cavalry has been organ-
ised at Stilwell, consisting of almost
entirely of Indians, and it has been
officially recognized as Troop D. First
Ok lahoma cavalry. There are sixty
members of the troop who are full-
blood Indians and fifteen more who
are mixed blood Indians. There art
twenty-five members who are white
men. H. L. Rogers is captain of tiiis
Indian troop: (ieorge W. Smith first
lieutenant, and J. L. Harmon second
lieutenant. Each member of the
troop owns his own horse, and it Is
said to be the best organized troop of
the Oklahoma volunteer force. Stil-
well is on the extreme eastern ijorder
of the new State, and the Indians are
all Cherokee*.

Notice to Claimant*.
Last spring the Supreme Court of
the Cnlted Slates decided that you
had not been fully paid for your ex-
penses of removal from I he Kast to
your present homes in the West.
The debt to vou grew out of tiie
treaty of New Echota, in lH.fi and
W3H, also the 'I reaty of ism. and was
partly paid by t Ik-government in Ifi'ii.
The Court now says ail Has tern
Cherokee Indians, who were on the
rolls of 1851, either Kast or West of
the Mississippi river, and shared in
the payment made at that time, shall
have the balance of this money If
living, and where a party so enrolled
in 1*51 is dead, then his or her child-
ren are entll led to that share: and if
there are no children thin the next
living relative, but does not In-
clude the Old Sett lei's, who removed
