n of February 17, 1890, requiring the
removal of all live stock from the Cherokee Outlet on or before October
1 would work great hardship and loss, not only to the owners of stock
herded upon the strip, but to the owners of cattle in the adjoining
States; and
Whereas the owners of all cattle now herded upon the outlet have
submitted to me a proposition in writing whereby they agree to remove
one-half of their stock from the outlet on or before November 1 and
the residue thereof and all their property and employees on or before
December 1 next, and to abandon all claims in said outlet:
Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United States, do
give notice and proclaim that the time heretofore fixed for the removal
of the live stock herded upon said outlet is extended to November 1 as
to one-half thereof and to December 1 next as to the residue thereof and
as to all property and employees.
BENJ. HARRISON.
