Settlers the Sioux Reservation After
Lands Given to Indians.
WASHINGTON, July 27.-Register Bal
ley, of tae Pierre IS. d. land Office, has
telegraphed Commissioner Carter say
ing that white men had offered affida-
Wits of contest upon the land allotted to
the Indians ON the ceded lands of the
Sioux reservation. He asked If these
contests were to be accepted and the
matter adjudicated as land cases in the
department. The commissioner did not
care to decide the matter off-hand, and
will look up the law in the case. The
allotting of the ceded lands to Indians
IL liable to cause some trouble before
everything is all settled. The Indian
Office claims jurisdiction and asserts
that the law is explicit, and where an
agent of the government allots an In.
dian land and that allotment is approved
by the commissioner, the Indian will
hold the land, unless the decision of the
commissioner is set aside by the secre-
tary Of the interior. Out in South Da-
kota It seems that allotments have been
made upon lands which were occupied
by white squatters previously, and that
Is where the difficulty arises.
Kicking on the Grow Allotment.
The land commissioner has addressed
latter to the Indian commissioner upon
the subject, calling his attention more
specifically to complaints arising from

tion in Montana It is claimed that al
lotments have been made to absent In

tive purposes; that an agent of the gov
ernment offered to raise the allotments
for money consideration: that allot-
ments have been, made to Canadian In
dians and half breeds who never had
any right to them; that allotments have
been made upon agricultural and min
eral claims where settlers had accumu-
lated considerable property, and that
this was in direct violation of the law
(which protected such people.
j The two commissioners will probably
have to get together and agree upon
some basis of settlement ip the cases
arising out of the allotments and the
/ general land laws.

won great victory and without blood

came known, however, that the troops
would not be ordered to move though
they were ready to 60 ut moments
notice. II was true that when the COM
mittee Of miners left the governor
Thursday night the men were angry.
Several of the committee said they,
would not have anything more to do
with the governor, but they were hot
headed men. They afterward agreed
among themselves that the governor
was right in not accsding TO violation
OF thela They got together about B
o'clock and were in session some time.
When they broke up they went to Gov
ernor Buchanan with the proposition to
abide by the law. The following il q

Yesterday.

County Treasurer Barden has prepared a
very interesting. and comprehensive state
ment showing the amount 80 far collected
as taxes in Lewis and Clarke county, the
total being $277. 093.79. For this amount
3 1928 tax receipts were issued. Each re-
ceipt does not, however, represent 4 tax
payer. The total number Of people who
pay taxes in Lewis and Clarke falls a little
below the number OF receipts given and in
dicates that property il not in tho hands of
. few. The response to the trsasurer's no.
tics that taxes were due was very good, SO
that there is but four per cent. of tho total
levy delinquent, or property bearing an as
sessed valuation OF about $1,000, O0O, most
of the taxes on which it ia expected will be
collected before JAN. l, 1892. OF the county
taxes property within the limits of the city
of Helena paid $220,0OO on a valuation of
$22, 0O0,O oO, and 3d. ZOO, 900 of property outside
the city limits paid $4,000. OF the total
amount collected the state gets 81 per cent.
county schools 35 per cent. new Jail build
ing 20 per cent, county funds 20 per cent.
1t will be noted that the percentage for the
school fund is very generous and il in keep
ing with the previous liberalitv of the tax
payers in the cause of education. Another
noticeable feature Of these figures is the
percentage which goes to the state, amount
ing TO $66, $50. 20. This ia a larger sum than
il paid by any other county in Montana.
