tune of 1120.000.(10 of Cherokee
money. All kinds of rumors have
been afloat, ami a list of the peo-
£wbo shared in the steal has
a handed arunnd. The Chief-
tain has not yet been put in pos-
session of what it considers abso-
lute proof that these people did
perpetrate this gigantic steal upon
their own nation, but circumstan-
ces look mighty suspicious, to say
the least of it. If the investiga-
tion of the grand jury that is now
going on results in indictment of
the gang, or any of them, and is
made public, this puper will give
it all tile atteotjon it dfaerves and
the public shall know all about it.
In passing, it is proper to state
that the list of names accuse4 of
sharing in the tl20,000.<Mi transac-
tion includes the men who are
loudest and most active in fighting
anything and everything looking
to a change in the government of
the Cherokee nation, and are today
posing as the only patriots in the
country. No wonder they object
to a change; no wonder tliey want
to retain control of the Cherokee
government, finances and all. To
see the names of the men and the
amounts received by each of them
is enough to bring the blush of'
•liame to the cheek of every Cher-
okee citizen. Especially "is this

Cherokee nation is overwhelmed

ia which Director Walcott urges
the necessity of an immediate ap-

the survey of Indian Territory,

to coatinue the work up to the

is afforded by Congress that the en-
tire survey force of 3U> men will
have to be disbanded at that time.
Such action, he says, would greatly

The Tahlequah Arrow says: In
the executive office in the capitol
building may be seen, hanging on
the wall, a sword that carries with
it quite a history. It was the origi-
nal property of the daring old «'he
rokee warrior. Capr. Boles, who
was lender of a large baud of Che-
rokee braves during the war be-
tween Mexico and Texas in l,S3 i.
He was killed in a big battle and
the sword was secured by the Clin-
ton Lodge of Masons, at Hender-
son. Texas, aud afterwards used by
Capt. Thomas, a confederate com-
mander in a Texas company during
188S, 2882; 1880, 3180; in 1800,

in 1803, 0015; in 1804. 98<Nt; in
1805, 10,121; in 1800 the number
reached 14,000. The above shows
that crime is steadily on the in-
crease in the United States. Xow
we take the occasion to say that
within the last few years crimes
and homicides have been on the de-
crease in the territory, and that
there is not a state iu the union
that can show a smaller perceut of
crime in proportion to population
than the Indian Territory. Life
and property are equally as well
protected and law and order as
rigidly maintained —Valley News.
