Indians Cling to Their Land.

Perry, Ok., Aug. 15.—The Dawes commlßßion made a partial settlement with the Kickapoo Indians last spring for an allotment and an annuity with the government for their lands, whidh lie in the southeastern part of Oklahoma Territory. Of the 275 Kickapoos 175 favored the allotment and 100 did not. The 100 who opposed the opening declare their lands have been taken from them by force. They have built a village on a stretch of land and declare they will not vacate. The governor says he will ask the United States army to eject these Indians from this school land.
