also writes that Kansas will probably furnish the first

versed the decision OF the United circuit court

gave Omaha preference over Wichita in territory equi-

The opinion in the delivered by Justice
White who said it clear that the proceedings in the
lower court irregular but that the Ekns Just
passed by provided that just proceedings
could be held in discriminating and that the act
should apply pending the time the law was
enacted The court therefore reversed the findings of

very much, having a great deal of bust
ness matters to attend to at the agency
and his ailotments. Following the old
time custom. he left his house and goods
unguarded. because there was no prece-
dent of an Indian ever having broke into
a house for the purpose Of robbery. Dur
ing his absence his house was broGenint
and ransacked. Wash-Cut IL also an
Indian Sherlock Holmes. His line Of
argument and philosophy IS: Who did
it, Indian don't steal. White man did
it Yes, white man did it. Bad white
man" Among the things stolen was a
new set of harness. a bucksldn war

cartridges. Wash-Cut will return the lead
in them, served hot. Otherwise. Wash
