noke was witnessed by friends of
both many of them from Oklahoma
where the families of the bride and
groom have long been prominently
idemtifled.
An appropriate setting for the al-
ways engaging marriage ceremony
was the arrangement about the man-
tel of the drawing room of choice Aus-
tralian tree ferns specimen plants
the central and largest having a spread
of six feet graduating to smaller
plants and banked with pink peonies
in which were set at either side large
candelabrum holding cathedral can-
dles. Coca palms and fancy leaf eala-
diums filled in the spaces.
A sextet sang the bridal chorus
from the Rose Maiden during the en
trance of the wedding party. The
bridesmaids. Miss Ruth Johnson and
Miss Ruth Kidder came first being
followed by Miss Mabel Bagby of
Vinita Okla. and Miss Mary Halsell.
An interesting contributor to the cere-
mony was the dainty flower girl Little
Louise Orr of Tulsa Okla. Miss Clar-
ence JIalsell the maid of honor pre-
ceded the bride entering with her
father who gave her in marriage.
They were met at the altar by Mr.
McCluskey with his brother Mr. Bu-
ford McCluskey of Muskogee Okla.
as best man. Dr. C. E. Pattillo of the
Troost Avenue Methodist Episcopal
Church (South) recited the Methodist

The bride's gown was m?de of satin
faced charmeuse of an ivory shade
with full court train draped in Wat-
teau style and veiled in point d'Bruges
lace in panier effect. The round neck
was finished with a fichu of the lace
crossed in front with a scarf of the
tsatin. The short sleeves were of shir-
red tulle. Her full length tulle vail
liad tts edge of the point d'Bruges lace
and was draped to her hair in quaint
bonnet effect with lilies of the valley.
She cnrrted a shower bouquet of or-
chids and lilies of the valley.
The bridesmaids gowns were all
similar being made of pink charmeuse
satin with pink marquisette overdrap-
ories emboidered in pastel shades of
blue pink lavender and yellow In a
design of morning glories the strays
caught with bowknots of rhrinestones.
A soft yellow panne velvet girdle was
at the waist line and the round neck
and short sleeves were finished in the
rhinestones. Quaint bonnets of pink
tulle of the period of 1830 were worn
and white shepherds crooks to which
were tied shower bouquets of pink
sweet peas by broad ribbons of tulle
were carried completing most charm-
ing and picturesque costumes.
White K.iti:i formed the foundation
of the maid of honor's gown over
which was pink chiffon embroidered In
Empire wreaths of silver and rhine-
stones and finished at the bottom with
self plaitings. She too wore the old
fashioned cap and carried an old fash-
ioned arm bouquet of pink Killarney
roses and Lilies of the valley.
Further decorations of the hoi
were hampers of caladium and Farley-
ence ferns in the window and on the
mantels. Wa'.l and hanging baskets of
peonies were arranged at Intervals.

vase holding a tree of Killarney roses
with white larkspur. A huge basket
of growing pink orchids was on the
stair landing. Baskets of pink Kil-
larney roses and hanging baskets were
used through the upstairs rooms. Trop
ical in appearance was the summer

baskets ferns and (lowers. The punch

P
TO LAST PLACE
The Bankers lost to the Golden Rule
last Saturday afternoon in a game
that was marked by heavy hitting
good support and sensational plays.
The losing of Saturday's game plac-
ed the Bankers at the foot of the
league standing while the Golden Rule
became a close rival to the High
School for second place and the los
ing of a single game will throw any
club to the very bottom of the list
now so close have the contests be-
come. This afternoon the Bankers
mix with the High School and although
the students have taken two previous
games from this team Hie result is
very much in doubt and should be
close as well as interesting.

(By S. W. Ross.)
Tahlequah Okla. June 1 The pos-
sibility if not probability of a suit be-
ing inaugurated against the state of
Texas by. descendants of the so-called
Texas Cherokees calls attention to
one of the most interesting as well as
tragic episodes in the career of this
branch of the historic Cherokee tribe.
The ancient ancestral land of the
Cherokees lays far east of the Missis-
sippi river. In that rugged and pic-
turesque region now occupied by the
states of Virginia. North Carolina
j Tennessee and Georgia they were a
' mighty race unknown ages before the
! caravels of Coluroti s set forth upon
jthe dread wast .- oi 'e Atlantic. Long
after the porfyd ol colonization the
Cherokees were content to live in
near contact with the white people
I cnino nf tli.. I. 1 ... i mm
their old land but early in die past
century there were some who became
seized with a desire to get away from
the white settlements and found for
themselves an independent nation. As
a result several thousands of these
people journeyed to what was then
Mexican territory soon to become a
part of Texas in consequence of the
successful warfare waged by the
American settlers.
It was in the year 1822 that Bowles
or The Bowl Felds and Xicolek Cher-
okee chiefs visited Mexico for the
purpose of securing a grant of land for
colonization purposes but they were
not altogether sueeoHsful as they only
received a proutise; but at a subse-
quent period Don Felix Tresplaclds
entered into an agreement with them
and this agreement was confirmed by
Don Augustan Iturbide emperor of
Mexico on April 27 182.1. Hut the
Cherokees were destined to be dis-
appointed in receiving the right to set
up their own government on the land
granted to them by the emperor of
Merico for when in 1826 one John
Dunn Hunter agent of the Cherokees
visited Mexico to receive the (itle to
the lands he met witli refusal. Mex-
ico it was stated was quite ready
and willing to receive the Cherokees
as colonists but not as citizens
neither would (hat government grant
them lands to be held in common
Indians licensed.
This action greatly Incensed the In-
dians and cue result was that the In-
dians decided to turn against the
Mexicans and ally themselves with
the white people with the distinct un-
derstanding that they were to receive
title (o their lands from the white
people in the event they were success-
ful in finally wresting the lands from
the Mexicans. On December 27 1826
Hunter and Fields as delegates of
the Cherokees concluded a treaty of
amity and friendship with thewhites
upon the basis of tail understanding.
But the Mexicans a some of the
Cherokees under their influence and
under promises of titles to their lands
induced Chief Bowles and a Dumber
of his followers to turn against his
associates and against the Texans.
Bowles or The Bowl event went so far
as to assassinate or to have assassi-
nated his associates Chiefs Hunter
and Fields. Eventually Bowles fell in
battle and but a few years ago just
before the dissolution of the Chero-
kee nation in Oklahoma his sword
was presented to the Cherokee nation
by one in whose custody it had been
placed.
The Cherokees who did not Join
Chief Bowles and who remalner in
alliance with the Texans were to be
rewarded for at the "Consulation of
Texas" held at San Felipo de Austin
November 13 1835 the delegated au-
thorities of Texas entered into a
solemn declaration with the Chero-
kees to which both parties set their
names setting forth that the Chero-
kee Indians and their associate bands
had derived Just claims from the Mex-
ican government to the lands lying
to the north of the San Antonio road
and the Naches and west of the Ange-
lina and Sabine rivers; that the gov-
ertior and council Immediately upon
its organization should appoint com-
missioners to treat with the said In-
dians and establish the definite boun-
dary of their territory and secure
(heir confidence and friendship. It
was further agreed that the Indians
would be guaranteed the peaceable en-
joyment of their rights to their lands;
that all surveys grants and limits
made within those limits after the
settlement of the Indians were and
of right ought to be utterly null and
void.
Tnese were the solemn pledges
made by the delegates of all Texas
and In pursuance of them Sam Hous-
ton who had a few years previous liv-
ed among the Cherokees west of the
Mississippi and one Forbes on be-
half of the republic of Texas journey-
ed to "Bowies' Village" so named in
honor of Chief Bowles and there they
concluded the treaty of February 23
1836.
But the Cherokees were destined
soon to experience the turning against
them of the Texans for in the year
1839 the forces of Texas fiercely at-
tacked the Cherokees in their reser-
vation and after two bloody battles
in which many Indians were killed
the Cherokees fled from their country
leaving all their property and effects.
The cause for this unexpected assault
according to the historian was that
the white settlers desired the fertile
lands of the district ceded to the
Cherokees. The settlers or many of
them as excuse pleaded that the Cher-
okees had proved treacherous and aid-
ed the Mexicans the action of Bowles
and his band being in mind.
History of Acquisition.
In summing up the entire matter
the historian remarks: "The facts
are these: that in 1822 long before
any colonist had settled in eastern
Texas or any colony contract had been
made for that section the Cherokees
emigrated to Texas. They establish-
ed a villago north of Nacadoches the
town at that time being a waste late-
ly swept by the forces of Lory and
Perz. On November 8 of that year
the Cherokees by Captain Richards
and others of their head men entered
into an agreement with the govern-
ment of Texas by which it is stipulated
that certain Cherokeo chiefs should
proceed with their interpreter to
Mexico to treat with the Emperor
Iturbide for the settlement of their
tribe where it was then located. In
the meantime thi9 agreement guaran-
teed to the Cherokees the free and
peaceful right to cultivate their crops
and the privileges of natives. The
chiefs proceeded to Mexico and the
Imperial government having satisfied
them whether verbally or In writing
it matters not they returned. An
order from the supreme government
was dispatched to the commandant
general of the eastern provinces and
