A Victory for the CATTLE Men.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo-, Sept. 16.-In the case of
Col. E. G. Boudinot against Robt. D. Hunter,
A. D. Evans and H. L. Newman, well known
cattle men, to recover 81, 900 as penalty for
attempting to lease grazing lands from the
Cherokee Indians in violation of the United
States statutes, Judge Brewer, of the United
States circuit court, to-day rendered a de-
cision on the demurrer of the defendants that
the mere attempt to negotiate lease of the
lands was not violation of the statutes, and
dismissed tn" complaints. Hunter and an
associate leased some six million acres of
land from the chief of the Cherokee nation
for grazing purposes, and although Judge
Brewer states in his decision that the validity
OF the leases obtained and the question
whether they can be vacated was not before
the court, the defendants consider they have
won great victory, and that The decision to-
day virtually settles the question of their
right to lease land from the Indians, and
they will go on and establish their ranches
and Craze their cattle. Four other suits
against the same parties, involving the same
question, were ordered to follow this case.
