CREEKS PROTEST
Governor G. W. Dukes princi-
pal chief of the Choctaw nation
has addressed an appeal to
Thomas Iiyan acting Secretary of
the Interior asking aid for 10000
destitute citizens of the Choctaw
nation.
Tbe governor says:
'I have to report to you a very
grave condition of affairs in tbe
Choctaw nation. A .great many of
tbe Choctaw people are poverty-
stricken and fcome of them are in
actual starvation. AppeaU have
been msde to tne to aid them in
their distressed condition some
calling on me to provide ways
and means for their sustenance
while others are driven to beg for
breadstuff. Without authority or
means to act otherwise I feel it
my duty to eeek relief for them at
the hands of tbe department. Hav.
ing no means of knowing tbe exact
number of ur people who are in
need as tbe impoverished condi-
tion seems to toe general through-
out the Choctaw nation I would
y as a conservative estima'e that
Mi tenet ten thousand of them are

Unless congnn amends the
supplementary treaty now before
it by which tbe coal lands are
reserved from allotment and sold
by tbe government there is hardly
any doubt but that tbe Indiana
will reject tbe treaty when it is
brought back for ratification. Tbe
rejection of the treaty means
another long delay in the winding
up of tbe tribal government and
tbe settlement of tbe Indian
country.

GUTHRIE DEVASTATED.
By Great Conflagration Which De-
atroyed Property Valued at
$350000.
Property valued at $350000 lies
in a mass of smouldering ruins at
Guthrie Oklahoma as a result of
a fire which visited that city Sun-
day. Tbe fire started at noon in tha
basement of the State Capital
printing plant destroying the en-
tire equipment of the paper. It
then spread rapidly to the Hotel
Capital the St. James hotel the
Eichew general merchandise store
and the Cammack livery stables
leaving them in ruins.
Oklahoma City Perry King
fisher and other neighboring c'ties
were called upon for aid but the
high wind spread the flames with
such rapidity that the damsge was
done before l.elp could arrive. It
was feared the tire would epread
to another block but this was pre
vented by heroic work.
The loss to the. Capital plant
alone is $100000. Nothing but
the mailing lists of the paper was
saved. Work upon a new build-
ing will begin at once and pending
its completion the paper will be
issued from tbe Leader plant.
All tbe property was fairly well
insured but individual losses will
be heavy.
