terday bringing with him the few COWS
that were left after their delivery of
200 head. He informs the STAR that
there were 5000 head Of COWS delivered
to the authorities there and they are to
be parceled out to the various Indian
farmers and they in turn will distrib-
ute them to the Indians under their
charge. as free gift from the govern
ment to encourage them to raise stock.
Some Of the Indians have already
expressed their intention Of not re.
ceiving the gift, as they have got a
notion in their heads that should they
lose or slaughter any Of the stock they
will be sent to the penitentiary. The
real truth seems to be that they are
afraid the government is gong to
furnish them with stock, the necessary
agricultural implements to set them to
farming and make them earn their
own living and then cut OF their
rations, and the lazy rascals would
rather die than work. Sam says the
amount Of provinder and supplies that
is being dealt out to them is simply
enormous. For three months Of the
wear thav have the nrivileoa NJ turn.
