THAT INVESTIGATION.
C'tlAlTEIt I.
Bonier tfmo has elapsed ainco llio
testimony in tiio invcBtloalion of
I fie $300,(XX) transaction appeared
in tFifl Ojiikftain, and Uiobo who
read it lniva had ainplo opportuni
ty to consider its character nnd do-
tcrinlno llio correctness of the coin.
Tnitloc'a report. Hut ns ninny
perhaps linvo rend tho statements
wiiiiout, comparing- mem on par
ticular points, it may. servo them
n favor by doing this for thorn. A
cursory rending of thorn would
linriliy reveal tho many inconsist
ences thuro nro between them,
though, ovidently Ihcro is nn tin-
ilontlmuling nmong tiioso of tho
witnesses who nro personnlly in
tcrcstcd in the mntler as to certain
points.
1 ho first question ns published
i in tho Chieftain, was to Mr.
ltoss, nnd ns follows:
"Wns thoro moro thnn ono np
prni8ement of tho occupied lands?"
Ans. ,l7 cannot positively Bay;
llicro was but ono appraisement
' thnt I know of nt -17.49 cents per
incre; this appraisement was mado
by an act of congress; 1 don't know
- q of any other appraisement."
Similar question to Phillips:
"Did you, nt tho timo you mado
tho nddrcss to tho national council,
Mny 1883, special session, givo tho
na ionnl council to understand that
tho United Statos government had
raised tho price of tho lands, occu
pied by the Pawnees, Pi ncas, Ncz
trorccs, Otoos nnd Missourias to
ft $1 25 por aero, and that tho 8300,-
000 was appropriated on that raised
.appraisement?"
-Ans. "I stated that tho $300,-
000 was on tho occupied lands by
. y the Pawnees, Poncas Nez Perccs,
r "1 Otocs and Missourias, nnd tho
prico of tho lands wns about 81.17."
grJ U Borvcs Phillips woll to havo a
5jl roacherous memory, if ho can bo
, 'J Jwwwid for lying on that account.
it seems tuat Do has forgot nil
about what ho said when ho spoko
from the stand in tho capital
grounds, and avowed that tho $800,
033 was tho did -rones between tho
njipraiscd valuo of the occupied
Jnnds and 81.25 por ncro to which
"we had them ra"itd."
How the nation's ngent and at
torney must havo sweated and
scratched his pnto as ho labored
through the process of long division
to find his 81.17 por acre. His
opinion of tho intelligence of this
nation is very low indeed, and that

Qjfls a sum subtracted from tho prico

nnd there would havo been no ne

to much.
Further on ho says: "Thero
never was an appraisement of thoso
lands at nil." Mr. Ross was too
honest to say thoro never had been,
hut that ho knew of one. Had
Phillips maintained that thero ncv-
jf' cr had been an npprnisomcnt ac-
jj cording to treaty, he would havo
. been near tho truth, but ho was
5J guarding other points nnd could
' not so qualify his statement. Ho
was sharp enough to preserve an
J litypcnranco of consistency with his
' I former nets as tho nation's agent nnd
,.1? attorney, and rathor than entangle

J ' look in bringing about tho appraise
ment, und bis effort in raising it
from forty-ono cents por ncro, tho
original prico fixed, to 47.-19 cents,
nnd tho recollection of his glorifi
cation at success.
Quostion to Mr. Wolfo: "Was
thero ever an appraisement of lands
west of tho Arkansas river?"
AnB. "Thero wns an arbitrnry
appraisement under an act of con
gress in 1872, not authorized by
the treaty of 18GC. "
Mr. Wolfo contradicts his men 1
Phillips, who said there never was
an appraisement at all, but takes
ho precaution not to bo caught

whf in er ho rmild get up a com
I'iualioii Rtruiig inoiigh to secure
his rouilrmntion, he is exiunnblo
by re-uson of tho t-hiuPs fondness
for liim for making common cause
with Phillips, if ho is not in tho
same hoot with him. Phillips is
Bu.ibyhcad'8 joish as wo all know,
ami if Richard Toros ono ho must
lovo tho other likewise, and defend
them to tho extent of his ability
and elasticity of conscience. '
Mr. Wolfo shows himself clcvor
at dodging questions. Ho was
asked: "What do you understand
from tho reading of tho $3tt ,000
appropriation; was It duo under
appraisement?"
Ans. "I don't understand that
I was called to give my opinion as
to tho construction of tho law. You
have tho law boforo you."
The question was a poser, and
put in tho prcsenco of tho law his
answer was vory apt, considering
tho position ho and Phillips and
Rushyhcad havo taken as to tho
contrary.
In another placo ho virtually ac
knowledges that thoy claimod full
authority from council to dispose
of lands west of the OGth degree.
Qucs. "You say that tho secrc
tary intended that probably tho
government might pay for tho
whole amount of land, and rccog
nizing tho fact that wo could not
accept tho money if tendered as for
tho wholo bulk of land, I will ask
tins; do you not consider tno ap
propriation bill of March 3, 1888,
as such a proposition?"
Ans. "io, 1 uor.ot. 1 navo a
lottcr of tho secrotary of January
18th, which contains a recommen
dation for an appropriation suffi
cient to pay tho Cherokee nation
for tho whole body in question; that
loltor was nddrosscd to congress,
but scorned not accoptablo to con
gress." Lucky for us it was not accopta
blo to congress. Rut why did
tho secretary address a lottor to
congress, recommending an appro
priation sufficient to pay for tho
wholo body in question? Ho suroly
would not have recommended such
a thing without authority of some
sort. It was that littlo loltor of
January 5th that caused him to do
so, in which Phillips and tho del
egation claimed full authority from
tho legislature of tho Chorokoe na
tion to dispose of Chorokoe lands
west of tho OGth degree. Thoro is
tho secret of the tiling, and Wolfe
let it slip out.
Mr. Rlackstono was not asked
anything about tho appraisement,
but in relation to Phillips' speech
ot tho May term of tho council in
18S3 ho said: "The thomo of his
speech was in legard to Chorokoe
affairs, particularly in regard to
our wostern lands." In reply to a
question m to tho 8300,000 boing
a further payment for oxunieil
lands, he undozaUiQ&-Trramf to
osuch aWiKTmodbv Mr. Phillips,
and from an inoroascd price of the
lands at 81.25 por acre. Roing
asked if ho thought the appropria
tion was for unoccupied lands, he
answerod that he did, but that the
act was so vngue and indistinct ho
did not understand it.
Mr. Rlackstone's statement re
veals and verifies another fact
besides proving that Phillips has
made two assertions a3 to tho prico
rcccivod for tho occupied tracts
ono at 81.25 and tho other at 81.17.
Ho likewise contradicts Mr. Rushy
hcad to whom tho question was put:
"Did Phillips say at the session of
tho council in May 1883, that the
Chcrokco nation had got 81.25 por
aero with tho 8300,000; did ho mako
such n statement in a speech?"
Ans. "No; I think wo got 81. 17
per aero for tho land."
He denies, if his "no" means
anything, that Phillips mado such
an assertion. Thero aro hundreds
of witnesses by whom it can bo
proven that ho did say that the
prico received for tho occupied
tracts was 81.25 por aero, and it is
worso then folly to deny it.
To be continued.)
GBN. OROOK IN DEMAND.
It is rather embarrassing to tho
Chcrokco legislature to discover at
this lato hour that its acts havo
been nullified by its own caroloss
ncss. Whilo this losult will bo a
groat mcasuro of relief to sheep
killing Jogs and other beasts of
prey, It must bo a sourco of hu
miliation to tiio noblo rod man,
that liis timo has boon no moro
profitably employed than that of
his esteemed contemporary, tho
pale-faced legislator. Whcro's
Crook? Ho might bo ablo to
straighten this tiling out. Kansas

How such a report as tho above
has found montion in tho papers
of the states, to no littlo reflection
upon tho intelligence of the Chcro
kco council, no one who will put
himself to tho trouble to find but
will fail to discover tho sourco.
To bo subjoctod to ridicule by that
which is a creature of tho council
is like putting a club into the hands
ot another to knock you down.

"TEOUMSEH" TALKS.
Umtou Isnus CllIF.KTAtN The
timo is approaching for tho voters
of our littlo nation to begin to look
around for a suitablo man for tho
next rhiof. Thoro nro sovcral men
spokon of for tho position. Among
those of tho National party nro W.
P. Ross, (I boliovo ho has worked

Rabbitlhtnch and ono D. W. Rush
yhcad. It is rumored around thnt Rush-
yliead is paving his way for tho
next olection, but ho is not going
to find it nn easy going thing this
time, ns ho hns too mnny dark
clouds hanging ovor him ho cannot
remove His first administration
did very woll, but in his secend ho
has killed himsolf by hanging to
Phillips in hii frauds upon tho
nation.
W. A. Duncan, Jos. P. Ihomp-

leading mo 11 that aro spoken of on
tho other sido.
If tho pcoplo aro anxious for por
capita money thoy had bettor yoll
"snakes!" about tho strip loaso
ana got up a rumpus about it and
it will pan out all right. If that is
dono Rushyhcad will break for
Washington in llio intorost of tho
stockmen and givo Bunch a chanco
at tho handlo of affairs.
What about tho called council?
Has Bushyhead got afraid to call
that crowd of men togethor? Ono
called council has been tho ruina
tion of him already and anothoi
will dig his gravo.
Persons from Tahloqiiah say that
tho executive ofiico is costing tho
nation 810.00 a day and that tho
four clerks sit around and copy old
uocumoms, smoKo cigars, praiso
old Phillips and flatter Rushyhead
How is that for high in the lino of
economy?
Rushyhcad and Phillips told us
at tho May session, 1883, that thoy
succeeded in getting 81.25 por aero
for our occupied lands west of 9G
and boforo tho investigating com
mittco thoy said thoy got 81.17.
por aero. Now which statement
aro wo to boliovo? Ono of tho
commandments has suffered, but
cxtromc casos require extreme rem
edies.
Why don't the board of oduca
tion furnish our soliool with books
bettor than they do? The council
has appropriated ample means for
that purpose.
It has been cold as blazes but it
never gets too cold to rond the

and tho only medium through

that will subserve the best interests

government does not seo its way
clear to cxpol, families who aro
amenable to no law, and protected

gerously largo and constantly in
creasing. "V," do you know of
any law now in forco that can af
ford tho protection ncodod? We
look in vain to tho intercourse law
or the statutes of the United States.
