The CattIemen's Leases Stand in the Way
of Their Surrender

The Cattlemen's Leases Stand in the Way
of Their Surrender.
WASHINGTON CITY, Oct 2s-"Shan the
cattlemen lie driven from the Cherokee ou-
letf' is the question that is puEzling Score
tary Noble just now; and well it may, for it
is a very delicate one to handle The Cher
okse Indian commission, however, which
spent last summer in an unsuccessful at
tempt to induce the Indians to surrender
these lands to the government do not seem
to consider the matter at all difficult of
solution, for they have asked Secretary No
bic to drive the cattlemen out forth with.
These men, the commission urge by their
influence with the Indians have so far pre-
vented the commission from being success
full. 1t is explained that the cattlemen lease
large tracts Of land from the Indians in the
Cherokee outlet for grazing purposes, and
the money received by the Cherokees from
this source is, perhaps their chief source of
revenue. The cattlemen also make q good
thing out of it 10y grazing large herds of Texas
cattle on the lands, and shipping them at
opportuns times to the western markets
The Meat of the Difficulty.
The delicate point of the matter Is that
the leases to the cattlemen are approved and
formally ratified by the secretary of the in
terror, and for Secretary Noble to accede to
the request of his Cherokee commission, and
drive these men frem the "outlet" would be
equivalent to repudiating the acts of the sec
rotary of the interior In granting the leases
TO thu cattle men. Ga the other hand, his
comm S on inform him that they cannot b
successful with their negotiations unless he
does SO. The matter is causing Secretary
Noble considerable anxiety, and although he
has been considering for it the past thres
weeks he has not yet been able to reach Q
conclusion satisfactory to himself.
