Phillips, Richard M. Wolfe and Robert B. Ross, on ‘the charge of violating section 2105 Revised Statutes of the. United States, which provides for the punish- ment of parties who negotiated with the Indians for the transfer of land or receive money in con- nection with a conveyance, without the ap- proval of the Secretary of the Interior and com- missioner of the land office. Mr, Phillips being the only one here and the others in the Indian Territory, copies of the indictment was sent there, and the district attorney yesterday re- ceived information that the bench warrants had gone out. ‘The story of the case 1s briefly this: The gov- ernment had made an offer to the Ghersivee nation of $300,000 for certain lands, and the offer was accepted. It fs alteged that Koss and Wolfe represented to the Cherokees that certain formalities ware necessary, and an ouulay of $22,500 would be required.’ Chief Bushyhead and’ a delegation came on, and the draft was issued to Pailiips, who, it 8 alleged, divided the amount of $22,500 thus received.
