Indian Territory sale debate stirs Creek Cherokee lands talks
Senate committee on Indian affairs arrives in Muskogee to discuss citizenship and the sale or lease of western Oklahoma lands. Cherokee leaders and Creeks favor sale, while others urge deferral until after August elections for public deliberation. MacLurtain and Bushy Head reportedly open to government disposal of lands. In Gainesville, Mrs. Sam Myers faces arson trial over a house fire aimed at insurance, with weak evidence and likely acquittal anticipated. Local Dallas remarks rebuke circulating tax rumors and note the Adams Leonard deficit at about 5 000 to 6 000 dollars.
