COL. OFFLEY DEAD.
The Former Commander Of the 18th In
fantry Passes Away.
He Died Last Night at Fort Stanton
New Mexico.
After a Painful Illness OF Several Weeks
Duration.

A brief Associated Press telegram re-
ceived last night from Fort Stanton. N.
NJ, announced that "Col. Oflcy, of the
10th infantry died this evening of acute
dysentery."
Col. Ofley has been suffering from this
disease for some time. About a week
ago information was received here that he
was rapidly improving and his recovery
was expected as a matter of course. The
announcement of his death will conse-
quently prove a shock to his friends. who
when they last saw him believed he was
destined for many years of life.
Robert H. Ofley was a New Yorker by
bert. As early as May, 1857, he was
second lieutenant in the LIST infantry. He
was promoted to a first h%eutenancy in
MAY. 1861. and in the November follow
ing to a captaincy. He was brevetted
major for gallantrv at the battle Of Vicks-
burg. In May. 1879, he became major Of
the 18th infantry and in September, 1884,
lieutenant colonel of the 18th infantry.
About four years ago this regiment was
transferred from Dakota to Fort Russell.
Col. Chambers. then an invalid, was in
command. Shortly after reaching here
he went East and Ofley became com-
mandant. The latter end of 1887 Col.
Chambers died and early the next year
Col. Miner assumed command OF the 18th.
Ofiey reached his full ~colonelcy early
this summer and was assigned to the com
mand of the 10th infantry, with head
quarters at Fort Stanton, N. M. HI
leaves a wife and two sons to our hi
death.
During his four years residence al
Fort Russell Col. Ofley became well &C
quainted with most of the residents oil
Cheyenne. He was a martial looking
man and was an imposing commander at
the head of the 18th. He had been a
brave and efficient soldier during his long
military career. a hard fighter and one
who enjoyed the confidence OF the men
who fought under him.
General regret will be felt that such a
short time was allotted to him to enjoy
the military honors he had earned so well
and the sympathy OF this community will
go out to Mrs. Ofiey in this hour OF her

BUYING INDIAN LANDS.
Successful Treaty with the Shes
homes and Arapahoes.
Over a Million Acres of Good
Land Acquired.
For Which the Red Men Get a
Good Price.

MI. G. FL. Merilette OF Washington,
D. y. a member of the commission which
has been negotiating with the Shoshones
and Arspahoes for the purchase of par
Of the Wind River reservation. was in the
city yesterday on his way home.
The commission was composed of State
Senator j. d. Woodruff of Lander, j. Fl.
Brigham OF Delta Ohio, and Mr.. Meri-
lette, and has been at work with the In
dams for the past two months.
The commission has secured 1000, 900
acres from the northern part OF the res
ervation. For this the government pays
the Indians 5000, 900. OF this amount
all but $50. 900 will be paid in cattle, irri-
eating works, fences, farm utensils. schoo
houses and funds for school teachers.
The $50. 900 will be given in cash and
when divided will give each man, woman
and child 500.
The land secured lies at average altitude
of 4. 500 feet. 1t is well watered by fit
teen fine streams, two Of them being the
Big Horn and the Big Wind rivers. A
great deal of it is bottom land and at
least 200, coo acres can be irrigated and
| cultivated. In the northern part is SOM
fine timber land. The uplands are vel
adapted for either cattle or sheep and will
be valuable for grazing. Some of the
land is underlaid with coal of good quail
ity; there is some oil. and IN the extreme
northwestern part some gold. The coun-
try. however, has never been p~rospected
and its full value and possibilities art
scarcely known. Within the limits of the
land secured are the Owl creek hot springs,
These springs are in an almost inaccessi
bio part Of the reservation and are said te
be the finest hot springs in the west and
possibly in the United States. Then
curative powers are marvellous. They are
a continuation of the geysers of the
Yellowstone Park.
The only thing the commission failed
in accomplishing was in securing 10000
acres of fine land across the southern
part of the reservation adjacent to Lander
and which the settlers are very anxious t.
have pass out of the Indian control
This land was originally settled upon b
the Shoshones, and through the per
suasion of Chief Washakie they wer
willing to sell it. The Arapahoes, how
ever, claimed the right Of refusal an
their view was sustained by the ruling
of the interior department. Black Coal
the Arapahoe chief. was much opposed t
giving up the land and his counsels pre-
vailed with his tri be and the land re
mains with the Indians.
The treaty will go to congress to
action, and if ratified, a proclamation b!
the president will declare the lands opel
for settlement, under conditions impose'
BY the department of the interior. L
will be spring before the lands will b
opened, when there will probably be
big rush for them.
OF the commission, Senator Woodruff
is well known here. Mr.. Brigham

the Patrons of Husbandry, and Mr.
Merilette Is a bright young newspape
man, connected with tie Associated Pres
at Washington.
