Colonel Randlett, the Indian agent at Anadarko, I. T., has appealed to the secretary of the interior for troops to eject United States deputy marshals and others from Indian allotments. There were some 200 of these claims jumped on the night of Oct. 5. The persons settling on the Indian allotments assert that they are fraudulent and that a head right of 300 acres is not legal. The opinion is concurred In by the ablest lawyers in the territory. Frank Farwell, chief of the Indian police, has instructed his men to proceed to serve notice upon all persons who have settled upon Indian allotments to vacate at once. No trouble is apprehended.
