INDIANS FIGHT TRUST
VIII Refuse To lease Their Lands for
Cattle Grazing Purposes.

A special from Wichita. Kan, says:
The Ponca and Usage Indians have
decided that in the future t-ey will
lease none of their immense grazing
pastures for cattle grazing.
This action is taken because the
price Of steers has scared so high that
the redskins have been unable tn pur-
chase any. all the available stock be-
ing snapped up by agents Of the al
legged trust. The Osages control more
than 500, 900 acres OF pasture and the
Poncas have about 10000 acres.

will likewise Join in the fight against
the alleged beef trust.
