The Indian Tronhloa.

The New York Advocate of July 10th,
Published the following statement:
Indians in the Southwest are SAID
to be slowly starving 10 death through
insufficient supplies; their hunting
grounds are fenced in by land mOnOpo-
lies and they are murdered 10y COW boys;
they are starved on their reservations.
and shot ii they 90 away from them. -
This utterance would naturally arouse
the sympathies of humane hearts for
these unfortunate Indians, and create
feeling Of indignation toward the cat
tlemen and cowboys.
The Southwest" of course include &
the Indian Territory, where at present
there is threatened outbreak of the
Indians. This territory is SET apart by
authority of the United States for ex-
elusive occupancy by Indian tribes. II
embraces 81 600 square miles, and in the
year 1870 had population of 5000,
Treaties have been signed and perhaps
twenty different tribes are located in as
many different places in the Territory
The majority of the tribes are peace
able. The Cheyennes and Arapahoes
only are troublesome. Their lands have
an area i'm square miles, equal to the
number of people belonging to their
tribes.
In 1883 the cattlemen made agree
mcnts with the Chey enne, Arapaho aud
other Indians, for the privilege of graz.
ing cattle on the reservation for two
cents an acre per annum, and applied
TO the department at Washington to
have their agreements approved. The
department declined to approve the
agreements but stated that il saw nc
objection TO their leasing said lands on
fair and reasonable terms; that the de-
partment would exercise the right of
supervision to the extent of removing
all occupants without reference to sand
agreements; that it believed that il
would be to the interest of the Indian.

MR.. JONES. $4,000 EAR.
How the OrEau Was LIST and How II
Game 20 he Paid For.

lNnlimantie (Conn.) specially
A jury In the Superior Court for Wind
ham County, made mp mostly of farmers,
has to-day fixed the value OF a mans ear
by returning q verdict for the plaintiff in
the case OF Jones VS.. Town of Scotland.
The history OF the case, which has Grated
such unusual interest, Is as io,lows Jones
is an I'D man living at Williman.;c.
Eleven months ago yesterday he Wis ted
the Storrs Agricultural School at Mans
fold and then started to visit his SON
Charles, who lives at Scotland. While
riding along tear Scotland Grsen bis
horse. going slowly with his nose close to
the ground. The wagon went into deep
galley in the road and Jones was hurled
against a stone wall as though he had
been thrown from a cotApult. As
natural consequ me he struck h -ad on,
and the face of the wall being
formed OF sharp projectiles, he Jared
badly. When he recovered from the shock
he put his hand to his head to feel for his
ear and it was gone, cut OF as smoothly
as il it had come in contact with cleayer.
The night was denssl. dark, and Jones
experienced no little d fficultv IN finding
his way 10 friends, where his wounds were
dressed H. was nlso badly bruised about
the head and it was believed he would
suffer from conoussion of the brain and
eventually loss his mental faculties Soon
after he made M his mini that he woull
mako the town settle for that ear and he
would place the value upoa it hinsslf.
He brought suit to recover $1,000 dam
ages, and to-day he has reaped his re-
ward. The jury jury gave him a verdict
TO recover $4,000 and his costs. These
latter will foot NJ pretty well. Public
opinion sustaias tho verdict aithou h it
took the jury an hour aud half t, deci.,s
upon it, and the town OF Scotland will
probably learn a lesson which will result
in its keeping the roads in decent conli-
ton in the future.
