that a certain prominent citizen of the
county will cut it out and "pull it''
on certain prominent citizen IF the
city the next time they have an argu-
ment about the cattle leases, and the
connection of republican administra-
ton Herewith
Mr.. Joseph Nimmo, late chief of the
now collecting the material for work
on the public lands and particularly as
to those of them occupied by Indians.
He was in the Indian territory a few
days ago looking up the situation
there. Among other things he investi-
gated the cattle business, and says that
the result of his investigation is a
change Of his opinions on the subject
of the leases for purposes of grazing.
He thinks that General Sheridan was
imposed upon by designing persons,
among them some army officers who
have large interests in cattle that, be-
fore these leases, were grazed on the
Indian lands.
When the lands were leased the. un-
authorized cattle were crowded off,
and their owners have not been salts
fed since. He said that Secretary Tel
Ter was opposed to the leasing busi-
ness and consented only on positive
representations of competent persons
that il would prove beneficial to the
Indians. Another matter of interest
mentioned by Mr.. NimmO in this con-
nectiOu we give in his own lanUuag %.
81 will mention as one of the amusing
features of this business the fact that
seven-eighths of the original lessees
were democrats, and that they secured
the appreciation of the secretary of the
interior almost entirely through the
influence of democratic senators and
members Of Congress; SD that the
leasing was I'm fact an army arrange
ment, backed up and carried out al
most entirely by democrats"
