gs Those who claim they wintered
,bsir cattle in the state and drove them
in tbe strip during the spring have had
their cases submitted to the department.
There is great excitement among the
Dsople and it is being urged that gen.
sraI meeting be called and resolutions
forwarded to the secretary of the interior.
Od soldiers who served in Harrison s
regiment are foremost in the investiga-
lion. The Farmers Alliance is also
pushing the matter and thousands of
homesteaders on the border, who have
learned that the cattlemeu have been
caught at their game, are jubilant. Old
soldiers say that if the department wants
aid in unfolding the laws of the country
argument of armed farmers will march
up the Strip on two hours notice.
The Indian agents who have allowed
the cattle kings to control their official
actions must now face an investigation.
