STATEMENT BY
GOV. HASKELL
DESCRIBES METHOD DY WHICH
TITLES WERE OBTAINED TO:
MUSKOGEE TOWN LOTS. '
GOV'T RULES FOLLOWED
And the Methods of Scheduling Was
Examined and Approved by the
Government Government Further
Guthrie. Okla. JiineO Governor C.
N. Haskell has Issued a statement
showing the value of property In-
volved In the .Muskogee town lot
cases and has bulling upon the In-
dictments recently returned by a
federal grand Jury at Tulsa. The
governor says:
"Press reports stated recently that
In scheduling town lots In the city
of Muskogee In the year 1901 my-
self and associates had secured
about :i000 acres at nominal prices
and had thereby robbed the Indian j
out of millions of dollars. That the
method of scheduling town lots In
Muskogee was well known to and
approved by the government offi-
cers is shown by the following
facts;
"It appears from tho government's
public records including court rec-
ords that the whole townslte of
Muskogee covered only 2510 acres
hence .1000 acres could not hao
been secured therein. Of the total
2.510 df the full townslte four-Hfths
of It was scheduled to thoso who
owned the Improvements thereon
and of which the government does
not now complain. Of the remainder
less than one-lmlf. or about 200
acres was occupying claimant's
right and the total valuation placed
by the government appraisement on
this ontelro "00 acres of lots was
less than $.'0000.
"The government now complains
that the occupying claimants got
one-half In value and the Indians
the other half so that the .whole
amount Involved In this controversy
is less than 125000. Ttio method
of scheduling lots rms one of the
published rules or the government
townslte board and tinder which
thousands of citizens of the Creek
nation scheduled their lots In all
of the dozen or more towns In that
nation. Government officers havo
testified in court that thore was no
effort to deceive them and that the
scheduling was done openly and ac-
cording to the board's judgment of
the proper procedure under the law.
It is also true that the government
examined and approved tho method
of scheduling at the time and In
.luly 1901! had Mr. Foulko. a spe-
cial examiner to Investigate the
entire matter. Ills report In writing
was then filed ."bowing the exact
facts to he Just as tho government
mm complains of; and that report.
In writing. In tho hnnds of tho gov-
ernment for three years never re-
sulted In any complaint by tho gov-
ernment until within tho last few
months. Tho government In tho
meantime continued to collect tho
periodical payments as thoy becamo
duo upon tho lots and kept on
issuing patents therefor upon final
payments.
"As to myself none of the lots In
controversy were scheduled by or
through me but were purchased
moro than a year afterward from
tho schedules by n company of which
I vns u stockholder owning loss
than - per cont of Its stock. Tho to-
tal amount In controversy as to
those lots Is $I730.GU."
