FEDERAL INVESTIGAGTION.
Sentiment is General That Creek Pes-
pie Have Been Defrauded
OKMULGEE: The Creek nationa'
council believes that the Creek nation
has been defrauded out of a large
sum of money because of the false
schedules of town lots and in having
land reserved from allotment which
was afterwards sold for townsites,
and if congress will lend an ear there
will be an investigation.
This demand of the Creeks is ex-
pressed in two resolutions which havt
been passed by the council in session
here. The first resolution declares
that it is the general belief of the
Creek people that they have been de-
frauded out of thousands of dollars by
ialse town lot schedules and the reso-
lution asks that congress cause an in-
vestigation to be made and the sche
ules corrected and the Creek nation
be reimbursed for what it has lost.
The resolution further asks that thh
investigation be conducted by some
one who is not and has not been em-
ployed by the government in Indian
Territory.
The second resolution covers the
j sale of land for townsite purposes. It
I accuses the Dawes commission of hav
1 ing reserved from allotment certain
lands which were afterwards sold,
platted and sold again as town lots.
IUis claimed that the nation 'through
! corrupt officials and by reason of
fraudulent schedules, lost thousand?
i of dollars." In this resolution It is
also asked that the investigation b?
conducted by some government ofHcial
who does not now jive In the territo-
irr.

There has been some opposition to
'he operations of the department dur-
ing the summer by a few stubborn
farmers. In such cases the bureau of-
'iclals turn the matter over to tho
iherltf of the county. He takes charge
md has the animals taken care of In
the proper manner at the owner's ex-
tense, besides the other pena'ltles in-
curred by the infraction of the law.
Mr. Allen is well pleased with the
progress made this summer In tho
work of tick eradication. Oklahoma
was regarded as a favorable field in
which to begin operations on a largo
scale, and the results seem to have
fully justified expectations.
GREWSOME FIND OF FISHERMAN
Man at Muldrow Draws Cadaver
From the Arkansas
MULDROW: A fisherman who uses
a trot line in the Arkansas river
went out the other morning to "run*
the line. He found what he at first
thought to be a monster catfish, but
soon as he got the object to the sur-
face discovered it to be the body of
a man. One of the hooks had caught
on the clothing and held the body
nrisoner until the fisherman arrived.
The body has not been identified.
There was every evidence of murder.
A bullet hole showed in the back of
his head, the feet were fastened to-
gether with barb wire and a largo
niece of railroad iron was fastened
to the body, which had apparently
been in the w*ater ten days. It was
evidently drifting down the stream
and had the wire caught on a piece
of driftwood it might have traveled
many miles.

FIRE DESTROYS A BLOCK
Most Serious Lor,s was the Entire
Plant of the Madill Democrat
MADILL: Fire broke out in one of
the frame buildings on the public
square and destroyed the entire row
of frame buildings on the northeast
corner of the square. Eight buildings
in all burned and for awhile it looked
ns though the flames would spread
to the adoining bricks. Except for
lhe high wind that prevailed from
the west, the brick row in which the
po-toffice Is located would have
humrd. The most serious loss is the
Madill Democrat, whose entire prop-
erty ywas destroyed. It Is understood
thnat the presses and part of the
other property were insured, but none
of the buildings In the ro* were tn*
tared.
