OLD OMAHA RESERVE.
Controversy Over the Disposition OF
Some Indian Lands.

Nothing new concerning the trouble be-
tween the whites and Indians over the
odd Omaha Reserve" could be learned at
the Department of the Interior The trou-
bic is one OF long standing, and reports of
the scene Of strife during the past few days
Indicate that the bitterness OF the con-
troversy is probably at its height Cues
lions concerning the allotments Of lands
among the Omaha and winnebago Indians
are pending in the courts and In Congress,
ana the progress toward settlement is
watched by Inc officials OF the department
with considerable interest The reserve
IN question contains about 30U, 600 acres
and is about forty miles west OF the Mis-
souri, river. 1t is varied in nature parts
teirg rich agricultural lands and parts Of
II desert. In 1870, when the Winnebagos
We're tiai sfs rred from Wisconsin to Ne
biaska, a ten-mile strip was sold them
from the north end of the Missouri
The Winnebagos and the Omahas lived
very close together and were placed under
one agent The lands became valuable
when the Chicago. st. Paul. Minneapolis
and Omaha railroads. were built through
the reserve. Finally the land was divided
and ailotments in severalty made, with the
exception OF part set aside as tribal
land Thee lands were Incorporated in
Burt and Dakota counties for judicial,
elective and revenue purposes"
The Indians did not settle on their allot-
ments with alacrity, and in 1880 a Mr..
Farley, who had married into the Omahas.
secured lease of about 5000 acres at a
nominal Rental The price agreed on is
claimed by the lessons to have been 25
cents per acre per annum, and by the les
sees 30 cents per acre for five years This
is one cause Of the trouble
Another cause is that the lease is signed
but by five chiefs, while the council
which had authority to lease consists of
twelve chieftains. Then the lessees further
claim that they understood that the lease
was to be renewed annually till such time
as the allotment in severalty should have
been disposed of. The lessons hold the
contrary. The whites and Indians in
Thurston county, Neb., which, in part is
formed by these lands, want them relieved
from this lease that they may be available
TO settlement. Petitions have repeatedly
been sent to Washington in reference to
this matter, but the petitioners say that no
satisfaction Is given them. The lessees
have some following. and just now the
night between the would he settlers and the
lease faction is very bitter. Then the old
time antagonism between the Fontenelle
and La Flesche branches of the Omaha is
another factor in the disturbance.

A PUT-UP JOB.
Judge Mills Remarks on a Case IN
Court Today.

This morning in Judge Mills court a
grass widow, apparently sixteen years OLD,
but who says she is twenty-three was on
trial, charged with threatening her hus-
bands life, and also with having carried a
revolver. The young husband and two of
his companions. named Clarkson and Wiley,
appeared in court to give evidence of the
young bride of three months. The parties
to the affair live in Southeast Washington
near 18th and NJ streets, and the young wo-
man was defended by Lawyer ONeill.
According to the evidence of the two
young friends Cf the husband they We're

and the letter stopped.
Their testimony was that Mrs. Berkeley
said to them about her husband: HE had
better keep out of my way tonight, or I'll
shoot his legs from under him. I'll make
him support me-
They said she declined to let them ex-
anime the weapon and put 1t in the bosom
Of her dress. ...
The husband did not hear the threats,
neither did he see any pistol.
Il was in lady's house" he said, land
1 saw her standing On the hill watching in
the window" ,
The little woman then made her state
ment. She said that although she had only
been married about three months her hus-
band had beaten her and she had him ar
rested.
She denied that she had the pistol or that
she had made any threats.
He goes with other girls she told the
judge, land he has never supported me-"
She said she did say she was going to
scare him and make him support her when
he gets work.
Her sister corroborated her statement
Il am going to dismiss both cases." said
Judge Mills. when a man marries a wo-
man he is under legal obligations to sup
port her. but his failure to do SO does not
give her license to threaten him or carry
pistol. In this case, these young men are
friends Of the husband and they evidently
went out to look for the wife.

Before leaving Marshall Hall / had the
pleasure of entertaining Maj. Suess and
staff at a parting dinner, given especially
to thank the commanding officer of the pro-
visional regiment and the regiment as an
entirety, for uniform good conduct during
their ten days stay at Marshall Hall.
The officer Of the day and the provost
marshal reported to me every 'norning for
consultation, looking to the maintenance
of good order on the grounds. They will
verify my statement when 1 say that the
order was perfect
An occurrence outside of the grounds has
been the subject matter of much newspaper
comment. After the boats had left and the
grounds were cleared IAN officer Of the guard
struck drunken employe for alleged in
suit to his wife-he was sent, under instruc-
tons from me, to the guard tent, to sober
up. Another employe wantonly assailed a
guardsman, but escaped the guard by

Of casualties. The larking of a few boys
who steal out Of camp is too trivial to no.

Coxey is heard from again. His
first congressional boom having died
out, and believing the time ripe to give
himself another political boost, he seeks
to elevate himself into prominence by
advocating another raid on Washing
ton. He says:
"The only place for you to strike
is at Washinton. Go through your
public parks and marshal the tramps
and unemployed workmen, tell them
the cushions down in Washington are
as soft as they are here, and tell them
| have plan to feed them down there.
I don't mind telling my plan. When
the men get down there they will be
sent to Jail as | was The Jail in
Washington can only accommodate
800 persons. 1t is full now, SO the
men will have to work building jails
to imprison themselves. If l cannot
get them work at home can get them
work at another quarter.

To Coin Silver.

The San Francisco Call says John
Daggett, Superintendent of the Mint
in San Francisco, has received orders
from the Secretary of the Treasury
at Washington to coin an unlimited
number of standard silver dollars
until the end of the month, and dur
ing the present money stringency to
coin gold currency to the ordinary
capacity of the mint
Similar instructions were also issued
to the mint authorities at Carson City,
New Orleans and Philadelphia and
with their joint efforts it is quite safe
to say that nearly $4,000, 900 will be
turned out by the first of August.
The silver to be first coined will be
blanks and ingots, of which there is
said to be sufficient in the minis of
San Francisco and New Orleans alone
to coin about 81, 100000.

Pu,lmans are EN- PITY.

The Drovers' Journal, published at
Chicago, says: ga noticeable feature
of the strike is the absence of passen-
gers in the Pullman cars attached to
the trains that are being hauled In
and out of the cities by railroads.
While ordinary cars are packed to the
platform many of the sleepers do not
contain single passenger. Whether
travellers refrain from using them from
fear or out of sympathy with the boy
colt is matter of conjecture. Both
causes, no doubt, contribute to the re-
suit"
81 think candid appeal to the
public not to use the Pullman service
would be far more effective as against
the Pullman Company and much less
disastrous to to the general public, "
said trainman talking on the subject.
''The strike hurts everybody save
Pullman, for he gets mileage from the
railway companies for every car that
runs. If people refuse to use the SER
vice the railroads would soon find it
to their advantage to throw Pullman
over and run their own sleeping cars
as the Milwaukee, Great Northern
and Canadian Pacific are now doing"

EXTREME ARRoGANCE.

Mr.. Cleveland's letter to Chairman
Wilson of the Ways and Means Com
mittee can be regarded in no other
light than as 'sslap in the Senate's
face" and public demand that the
Senate shall recede from its present
attitude on the tariff bill, that they
should set aside their own opinions,
disregard the opinions and interests
of their constituencies and blindly
follow his dictation regardless of con-
quences. It certainly is one of the
most high-handed measures that ever
emanated from the pen of Chief
Magistrate. He refuses to recognize
the Congress as representative body
and declares that they have no right
to disregard "his :" wishes, that it is
his place to direct and their place to
obey. Regarding tariff reform as
embodied in the Wilson bill he says:
My public life has been SO closely
related to the subject, 1 have so
longed for its accomplishment, and l
have so often promised its realization
to my fellow countrymen as a result
of their trust and confidence in the
Democratic party, that hope no ex-

Somewhat Mixed.

Phoebe Record: There is more or
less of muddle in political matters
this year in Lincoln county. It arises
in great measure from a misunder-
standing by many, of the relations
between the Peoples Party on the
one hand and the Silver Party ON the
other. Not few of the Peoples
Party adherents of last year believe
the Peoples and the Silver Parties to
be identical. This is not the case
however, both being separate organi-
cations. 1t was thought that some
action, looking to an amalgamation
with the Peoples Party, would be
taken by the State Central Committee
of the Silver Party which met at
Reno last May. This was not done
however, and the Peoples Party of
Lincoln county have elected not to
join the Silver Party of the State.
Here we have then the Peoples Party
with no State organization, and the
Silver Party with no National stand
ing. No National politics are in
volved in the approaching election
however, except in the choice of a
Congressman, so that unless the Peo-
pies Party effects State organiza-
ton it will have nothing but county
officers to vote for, and politics in
county matters counts for nothing.

Arrest of CarIin strikers.

The Elko Independent of the goth,
saws: The railroads officials at Carlin
yesterday had J. G. March, Thomas
Cleary, James Cummings and Al.
Thompson, strikers, arrested on a
charge of conspiring to obstruct the
United States mail. Cleary, Thomp-
son and Cummings were also arrest
ed on charge of burglary. They
are accused of entering the round
house and carrying away parts of the
engines stalled there at the beginning
of the strike.
The defendants on the conspiracy
charge were taken before U. S. Com
missioner Palmer and released on
$4,000 bail each to appear before the
commissioner on Monday for examina-
ton.
In the burglary case the defendants
were taken before Justice Palmer and
held in the sum of $1,000 each to ap-
pear at the preliminary examination
to be held on Monday.
Bail was promptly furnished the
defendants by the business men and
citizens of Carlin.
This move on the part of the rail
road company will not make it any
friends i'll this part of the state. While
we believe that crime should be pun
ished whether committed against the
railroad company or anybody else,
yet we cannot resist the opinion that
this action of the Southern Pacific
company savors more of persecution
than it does of desire to vindicate
the law.
