According to an Omaha despatch, the
owners Of the herds of cattle which range
between the North and South Platte, and
the settlers north of the Union Pacific
Railroad and on the Republican river, are
apprehensive Of a raid from the Sioux
bands Of Red Cloud and Spotted Tail, the
Cheyennes, Arapahoes and other tribes
combined These bands number over 3d.
900, their supply of beef is nearly or quite
exhausted, and having no money to buy
more, they must depredate on the settle
ments or starye. The small cavalry force
at Forts Fetterman and Laramie would
not be able to cope with these Indians.
Later advices state that a raid was made
on the 9th instant, but no particulars are
given.
In recent report made TO the House
Of Representatives by the Committee on
Public Lands, it is. stated that there are
yet l 200, 100000 acres public lands in the
country that are unsurveyed. Out Of the
vast area Of the public lands Of the United
States, however, after deducting swamp
lands, deserts, mountains, and railway and
other grants, It is estimated that the whole
amount Of arabic lands available for settle.
ment cannot now exceed $50 TO 400 mil.
lions OF acres. Last year nearly four mil
lions Of acres were taken up by homestead
settlers, and the estimate Of the Committee
is that before century elapses, all the
arabic lands Of the country viii be absorb.
cd. When We consider what was the area
Of the past Of the United States, inhabited
by whites a century ago, this prediction
not only seems probable, but there Is also
likelihood Of the entire arabic surface d
the country being absorbed by settler,
long before 1874.
