The following hair-raising dis-
patch was sent out from Checo-
tli last Saturday:
"A sensational story reaches
here tonight from Okmulgee,
telling of the death of two full,
'mood Creek Indians, one murder-
ed, supposedly by Crazy Snake
followers, the other a member of
the Snake band and killed by the
marshal s posse. Ten other
Snakes were captured, and to-
night are chained hand and toot

the close."
The Creek treaty was passed

Is Now Being Paid Out By the
Government.
The payment of $395,000 to the
Osage Indian tribe was begun by
A. O. Mitscher, Indian agent.
Each member of the tribe will
receive $214.33. The payment
will be of no immediate benefit to
the Indians, beyond discharging
in full their indebtedness to the
traders in the reservation. Many
ol the accounts have been out-
standing for nearly twenty years.
The traders spent thousands of
dollars in trying to get a settle-
ment. l'ailure meant bankrupt-
cy. The claims as presented in
Washington aggregrted consider-
ably more than half a million
dollars. The accounts, however,
were cut down to #395,000.
Having sacceeded finally in get-
ting their books balanced, con-
template going out of business.
More, who will continue, will not
again allow the Indions to get so
deeply in their debt, as the Indian
trade becomes poorer ond collec-
tions more difficult year by year.
Payment to the fullbloods will be
made from July 28 to August 2
and to the halfbloods from Aug-
ust 4 to '). A company of soldiers
from Jefferson barracks is there
to protect government officials
and to guard the money. They
will be used if necessary in en-
forcing the rules and regulations
of the payment. Intruders and
unauthorized persons will be ex-
c.uded from the reservation.
Whiskey peddlers and gamblers
will be arrested and prosecuted.
No interference by attorneys
claiming to represent Indians,
either as to the accounts of the
traders against them or any other
matter pertaining to the payment
to be made, will be permitted.
James I1. 1'allen of the bureau of
Indian affairs has been detailed

Interior to hear and determine

Spreading Out. •
The Guthrie Wholesale Grocery
Company is spreading out. This
firm will occupy the large building
just about completed by Mr.
Ames on West Oklahoma avenue,
which will give them the most
complete wholesale house in the
territory. From a small begin-
ning, Messrs. Kimball, Smith
and Whitbeck have built up a
great business.
Water must be getting scarce

Police Judge Olsmith received
a shock at the hands of a meek
looking Dunkard at a recent ses-
sion of his court who had been
arrested for throwing a bucket of
slop on the yard of his neighbor.
V\ hen the case was continued,
upon which die Dunkard immed-
iately claimed attendance and de-
manded pay for the same. After
the Judge had sufficiently recov-
ered he explained to the unsophis-
ticated Dunkard that it was not
the practice of his court to allow
prisoners pay for attending upon
it.
