Indian Affairs In Nebraska.
WAsHINeNoN, October s5.-The sr'
preme court dismissed the case of the
Flournoy Live Stock Company against
Capt Beck, for want of printed
record. 1t is now believed that there
will be no further troubles on the
Omaha and Winnebago reservation.
In report recently submitted to the
Indian Office, Captain Beck, the agent,
said that an early dismissal of the case
would result id a speedy settlement OF
all the tronbles. In every case so far
tried and in every court the decision
has been in favor Of Capt. Beck and
against the Flournoy company. Ihe
officials of the Indian otfics say that
they have in the past and stand ready

who has carried out the Instructions OF
the office with strict fidelity. Although
there was no doubt that the courts
below would be sustained, the Indian
Office is pleased to have the fact estab-
lished beyond all dispute that the
Indian lands are under the control OF
the office and cannot be leased by the
Indians without the consent OF the
office, 1t was claimed by the Indian
office that the leases obtained by the
Flournoy company did not give the
Indians full value for the use of the
lands and the company was enabled to
lease the lands to other parties at a
greater benefit. The Indian Office says
that middle men will not be permitted
to operate in dealing with Indian
property, but intend that the Indians
themselves shall obtain all the benefits
which can be derived from the lands
