15ns. CniKPTAi.v Tho undor
signed rtspoclfnlly begs leave to
ropronont thut the controversy now
ponding between Chorokeca and
U. S. citizens grtuing cattle nnd
other Btork on what is known as
ho ''Cherokoo Outlet," has grewn
out of fencing pasture lands in that
region.
Thoir right to erect such fencing
being toiorntod by their own Gov
ernment, and many such fences
hnviug already been built, and
successfully paetured; aiding great
ly Iho collection of tho now ixmh
reduced) (ax, compelling such as
graze to roport moro conectly the
number and 1 ind of btock when
ptislui r.;, under the pntronngo of
ChoioVofcK, thcrohy lessening tho
trouble of the Treasurer in hia du
ties in colleckins such revenues,
besides lnni j olbcr advantages
snob ontoip.iso piOwCnts and nf-
TdTUlvno say nothing of our right
16 do bo under our treaty of 1SGC.
The treaty provision is explicit
and gives the U. S. Government
tho privilege of settling friendly
Indians on tho lands of Iho Outlet.
Thoy to take tho lands in compact
form of 160 ncrc to tho head, the
price to bo fixed by tho parties in
intercut, and in case of disagree
ment tho President of tho U. S.
to fix the price. Tlio Chcrokcos
to retain possession of and juris
diction over the unoccupied and
unsold lands. It is asked, if it
ft'as not presumed Chcrokccs would
Bettlo on thoc lands and utilize
them, why it should restrict set
tlement on them to friendly In
dians? Now is it urged by thohe
that arc making tho greatest com
plaint, of tho fencing of Tcrrltary
within the Outlet, that huch fenc
ing is interfering with rights and
privileges for which they havo
paid tho Treasurer of whom not
more than one out of six hare paid
for such privileges.
Stockmen that have paid for
grazing as a goncral thing mako no
complaint oven when included in
stick pasture. It is only a few
stockmen combined with such set
tlors along tho line as havo for
years stripped tho country of not
only the"BTass, stono, Buffalo bones,
but the timber Unit arc applying for
remedy, when thoy find their sup
plies arb about to lo cut off. Is it
a clam following duch illicit traffic
or is it tho citizens of its own Coun
try, whoso rights liavo been here
tofore grudgingly dod out to them
that tho U. S. Government pro
poses to protect? Sco Chapter 12,

"Tax on stock grazing upon Chor-
okco lanus west ot tno yutn meri
dian." Question, Is a U. S. citi
zen an intruder agreeablo to tho
27th articlo of the Treaty of July
10th, A. D., 1SGG, with tho U. S.,
if ho has in his possession a Graz
ing Liccnso for 12 months issued
by tho Treasurer of the Cherokee
Nation?
Havo tho Solicitors furnished
during any time, to tho Principal
Chief, a completo and full list of
all persons residing or being on
tho lands west of 90 , in violation
of lawfl, and has tho Principal
Chief roportod tho samo to the
proper authority for removal?
Aro those men who havo 'a "graz
ing lieeiiBo" and hold receipts from
tho Treasurer of the Qherokeo Na
tion an injury to tho Nation, or is
it much to tho advantage of tho
Nation? Is itaorimo for a U. S.
citizen to lend his money to an In
dian? Instead of isolating tho In
dian ho should bo brought as much
as posfciblo in contact with whites
not with soldiors or with worth
loss trumps and vagabonds who
seek a rofugo in tho Nation but
with good practical men who are
willing to treat him right, and
comply with tho rules and regula
tiona of tho Country. Such men
could acquire a competence and
oven grow rich and bettor tho con
dition of tho Indian, without in
jury to either paKy.
In conclusion it may bo proper
to add what Hon. Commissioner
Prico has said in roforenco to tho
Clierokco Country West of the 90th
meridian went longitude Ho says
that "tho Chorokoes still havo as
the toaty provides, tho possession
and jurisdiction of all the lands ex
cept those axsignod as stated in
his report, and havo been, and are
now rccoiving rents from tho Enme.'

Tho abovo piece written by Mr.
S. S. Stephens has been introduc
ed in tho Ojiikktain with a viow
to discussion of tho "Cherokue
Outlet" question, 801110 of tho
positions wo do not fully concur in
and will comment on in part leav
ing tho fullor discussion of tho mat
ter for our next issuo.
Tho present troublo as wo un
derstand it, has grown not out of
fencing pasture lands an Mr. Sto
pheus seems to think, but of fenc
ing in the rango of those who havo
paid tlio tax and been assigned a
certain rango. This was tho cato
with Mr Biott who made tho coin
uut tu the LaJjuu OPu nnd
W)
10111 tbe uri'.or of rutin' -
rain.).
lo fillet? in a nun'
against bin will wlo lias paid f
and hits been astifnod to a certain
rango can hardly bo justified on
the score of fencing out others who
unfairly use the range. As to the
Solicitors furnishing the Principal
Chief n licit of intruders west of
90 , it is proper to slate tho
Treasurer, Hon. D. W. Llpc, was
the proper one to report delin
quents and did so to General Mc
Neil. Wongreo with Mr. Stephens
in the rights of tho Chcrokccn
west of 00. Relievo that thoy
have an much right there as here
until the lr.nd is "sold and occu
pied" as tho treaty provides, for
the words of the treaty are, that
tlio Cherokee Nation shall rcVain
