looking over the much talked of

the benefit of those who contem-
plate going there): Niobrara is the
most poverty stricken and desolate
town l ever saw. The place is full
of people looking over the reserva-
ton. The Indians have made their
selections and taken what little good
land there was, there being but
little good land there. There are
any number of settlers squatting
now; and some say they have no
right to the land and others say that
they have. There will be great
sqabble over it on the 18th of May,
the time it is to be opened for settle
ment. The LAND sharks " are
making a nice thing out of it. Some
say they are charging men from $50
to 500 to locate them, locting sever
on the same piece of land. They
give them numbers of piece of
land and tell them to file on it the
18th, and they will stay by them.

very rough country.

for the condition of our bridges at
the present time. Let the work be
thorough this time.
