the settlers already have vessed rights in
the land. and therefore it would be un-
just 10 hand them over to another Com.
pany
Hence.a new treaty will be asked for.
cutting of your Company. and placing
the whole thing in the hands Of the St.
Louis Company in shape to suit them.
Still further: This Company have
mortgaged all their right and title in the
lands in question. their road. rolling
stock. depots ETC. to other parties for
twelve millions nine hundred and sixty
thousand dollars. Do they propose
to life that mortgage before they make
over the Ian to Leavenworth Z?
Look into these matters. See what
sort Of show you have. II the Com
pany ale designing to swindle you con-
cerning the land. they will swindIe you
on any other point. Go to the Interior
Department, and see what they have
done under the present treaty; whether
they have taken any steps TO perfect
their title to the land or not. for il they
have. the mortgage will cut you of
under the proposed treaty. II they
have not taking any steps. or all the
necessary steps. to perfect their title
under the existing treaty then they are
swindling the settlers on those lands by
pretending to sell the same to them:
and if they will swindle the settlers
they will swiudle you.
We honestly believe that the con-
tract. SO far as the land is concerned. is
worth less than the white paper upon
which it is written; and as true friend
Of your interests. We earnestly advise
you to ''Iook we'll before you leap"
You say that work has already been
commenced on the road. Is it the FIRST
time a railroad company has commenc-
ed work at Leavenworth. Three years
ago. did you not expect before this time
to have heard the whistle Of the steam
engine at your doors as was promised? !?
You then said so. Have not all the
movements Of the company been to
dicker you out Of money ?
As We said before so We repeat. Make
your contracts. but pay not cent until
the cork is done. He is a bad pay mas
ter Who pays in adrdnce-especially to
a railroad company.
