Mr.. NJ ". Reynolds, Of Parsons, Kan, sends
to THE TRIBUNE exhaustive paper matters pertain

f1rciby and fairly the respassers upon the Terri

the VII people 20 have this patent cancelled and some
new disposition made OF the lands, Congress certainly
has no right % do such thing against the protest tie

Western communities az certain farms held hy shliess

from them and sold persons who would improve them
but no would admit that the Government had any

Element all Mr. Reynolds urges that the civil

The accredited representative OF civilized tribe

formal protests and their instance that the
Presidents proclamation was issued Inc treaties oi
