Indian Treaties Seen From an Indian Standpoint
The piece argues that U S Cherokee treaties are not mere agreements but binding contracts forced on the Cherokee by government power. It contrasts treaties with foreign pacts, condemns Congress power to abrogate, and contends Indians deserve fair redress for treaty violations. It previews a continuation next week.

Indian Territory Murders and Breach of Promise Verdicts
Reports from the Arkansas river area detail Brown being tried for murder in Webber Falls with claims of robbery motive, and George Curry sentenced to hang for a farm boy’s death near the Arkansas river ferry. Legal procedures require new sentences before execution, likely by Judge Thomas in November. The Muskogee Times notes a $9,500 breach of promise verdict for Davis, describing jurors and surrounding reactions, with appeals anticipated. Dick Wolfe bound over on assault charges after a knife stabbing over a debt, described as a Cherokee figure in politics. Dawes commission updates from the Chickasaw and Choctaw enrollments, with totals and freedmen counted. Two literary societies formed at the academy: Whittier and Longfellow.
