The indications are that there viii not be q

Senate during the week. and the oppo-

hanging until they can get together the friends

NO SERIOUS TROUBLE ANTICIPATED.
1t Is Regarded an Attempt Of Lander
People to Force the India us to Sell

1t Is Regarded as an Attempt Of Lander
People to Force the India us TO SELL
Persons here familiar with the situation do no,
anticipate any serious trouble between the Sho-
shone and Arapahoe Indians in north -oming.
as stated in the dispatches sent from Lancer.
Wyo. 1t is regarded as an attempt on the part
OF Lander people to force the Arapahoes into
selling lands they are unwilling to part with A
commission last year negotiated treaty be-
tween the United States and the Shoshone and
Arapahoe tribes. by which the two latter ceded
more than half their reservation, which they
occupy jointly.
While The commission secured over a million
acres in the northern part OF the reservation. or
more than half the total amount of lands in it.
the commission did not secure about 20 600
acres Of valuable lands on the southern border
near the town of Lander. The two Indian
tribes in a secret council had agreed not to sell
this Lander tract, as it Was very near their set
Elements. The commission finally won over
Chief Washakis, and his tribe OF Shoshones, of
course. followed him. but the Arapaboes abso-
lutely refused to listen to very generous offers
for this tract near Lander. Finally the ma
jority of the commission took the negotiation
out Of the hands of the chairman, VINO was a
citizen Of the town of Lander stating in their
report to the government that they did SO be-
cause they learned that attempts were making
to intimidate the Arapahoes and force them to
sell the southern tract under threats that IL they
did not do so they would be thrown off the res
ervation. The majority of the commission.
consisting Of c. II. Merillat of Washington
d. c., and ]. II. Brigham Of Ohio, then made
a treaty which all the Indians present of both
tribes signed and with which they appeared
pleased. 1t coded the northern half of the res
ervation to the government for $500 900, or 55
cents an acre. One hundred thousand dollars
was offered and refused for the southern tract
of less than s7O, 900 acres.
The chairman Of the commission refused to
sign the treaty. and the people of Lander sue
ceeded: through their delegation, in having the
treaty held up in Congress and another COM
mission appointed. The Arapahoes, it appears,
are now refusing to treat with this commission.
The anxiety of Lander to obtain these lands is
increased at this time because the Northwestern
railroad will soon build q line from Casper,
wyo., to Ogden, Utah, and they want Lander
taken in.
