murderers of Sheriff Kicker, who was
killed last week brought in Clarence
Woodward and Frank S. Foote late
last night. Bell and Enoch Jones We're
left at the Woodward ranch by the
posse to watch things, and early Monday
morning the two alleged Inurderers
came into the ranch. They had had
nothing to eat and We're badly frozen.
The town is all excitement. Men are
gathering in small crowds and stirring
up the inhabitants.
w. E. Tubbs has been appointed
sheriff and has sworn in a large num-
Der of citizens to protect the Jail. The
crowd attempted to secure the prisoners
on the way to the jail, but were pre-
vented from doing so. Bell had them
tied and concealed in a wagon and the
presence of the prisoners until they
were lodged in Jail
Deputy John Sherman reports that
Charles Woodward another of the es-
capped men, was seen Saturday near the
Asbell ranch, Is miles west of Ervay.

reservation is first class and has been
highly improved by the Indians. More
is still raw prairie which has never been
broken, and there is some which would
be good only for pasturage- The Indian
population of the reservation is 57S-
There are 321 adults and the rest are
children.
This is by far the largest reservation
in the state, but there are three other
smaller ones. The Kickapoo and Iowa
reservations are in Brown county. The
former contains 1877 acres, or little
less than 8 0square miles, enough for
120 farms of 160 acres each. There are
255 Kickapoos on the reservation, and
132 of them are adults.
The Iowa reservation is still smaller.
1t contains IL 500 acres, or over Is square
miles, enough for 70 $50 acre farms.
There are 101 adult Indians on the
reservation, and Ill children.
Down in Franklin county there is
little reservation on which there are
only 80 Indians. They are the Chippe-
was and Christmas. Their reservation
contains 1895 acres. or between six and
seven square miles.
These are the lands in Kansas which
would be placed on the market by the
passage of the bill introduced by Mr..
Curtis All of them are in portions of
the state that are otherwise thickly set
tied and the lands would doubtless
bring a good price.

the money with which to pay Off z
mortgage on her home. The western
mortgage is all right. but for an invest
ment it is becoming almost as difficult
to procure as a full-1edged dodo."
The same paper also publishes the
following editoria1ly:
These prosperous farmers of the west
are playing sad havoc with the farm
loan business. There can't be much of
a loan business without borrowers, SO
that when the farmer is taken out of
the market as a borrowing element,
things are getting in a pretty bad way.
The almost universal cry now is scar
city of loans and an over-supply OF
money. Crops have averaged so fine oil
late years and prices have been so sat
isfactory that, as never before, the
farmer has been strictly in it, This
makes it mighty hard for the loaner.
because he then becomes confronted
with the unpleasant and difficult duty
of reducing rates to induce old borrow
ers to keep their loans, and is com

down also. But things will not always
be So and for the change we should all
be willing to become prepared to NEE" "

KNOW A GOOD THING.
Financial Paper BeWails Search
ty of Kansas MOI tgages.

Eastern investors are now realizing
that mortgages on Kansas real estate
are extremely good things to get hold
of, but are very scarce for the reason
that Kansas people are paying mort
cages instead of making new ones, and
besides they have money of their own
to loan if their neighbors happen to
want any.
American Investments, one Of the
leading financial journals of the east.
publishes a communication from BCs-
ton contributor in which the writer
says:
I note you are 'bulT on western
mortgages. You certainly have more

POttaWatomie Lands Near To-
peka May Be Opened.
Congressman Curtis IntrOd
Bill to This Effect.
ALLOWED TO SELL.
Proposed That Indian Heirs
May Dispose of Property.
Reservation Is Ten by Twelve
Miles in Extent.

If a bill which Congressman Curtis
has just introduced into congress be-
comes a law, the Pottawatomie reserva-
ton north of Topeka, or a large portion
of it at least, will be opened for pur-
chase by farmers.
The present Indian laws provide that
lands which have been allotted to In
dams shall, after the death of the In
dian owner be held in trust by the
government for the benefit of the heirs.
This led to such serious complications
that Secretary Hitchcock of the inter
ior department, recommended that
law be passed authorizing the sale of
lands in the Ponca, Otoe and TonkaWa
reservations and allowing the proceeds
to be held in trust by the government
. instead of the lands themselves. This.
IL is thought, would greatly simplify
matters.
Congressman Curtis, who is the most
prominent authority on Indian affairs
in congress, prepared a bill embodying
Secretary Hitchcock'S suggestion, but
making it apply to all reservations
There are four such reservations in
Kansas, and a large part of them
would be at once thrown open for set
Element if this bill, which Mr. Curtis in
PRODUCED into congress yesterday be-
comes law Eventually the entire
reservations would be subject to settle
ment
The bill provides that the heirs of any
deceased Indian to whom an allotment
had been made may sell the land, sub
ject to the approval of the secretary of
the approval. The money thus received
would be deposited with the govern
ment and held in trust for the heirs
The Pottawatomie reservation, which
this bill would practically place on the
market, is about ten by twelve miles. 1t
lies wholly in Jackson county and the
south line is about fourteen miles north
of Topeka 1t contains II, 1857 acres, or a
little less than 121 square miles This
would make 4s4 quarter sections. All
of this probably would not be open foT

of it would be and within a few years
