administrators of Indian estates. The
indians whose property was thus Cob
bled, were represented to lie dead, bu,
it now turns out that they are still alive
and have been residing all the time in
Indian Territory. The extent of the
rascality has not yet been determined,
but it will probably reach 500, 900. 1t
involves several Indion traders, local
bankers and prominent politicians,
among whom there is quite a stir.
