taken charge of his stock. On his ar
rival he found that this was true, as
the Indians were full of distrust of
some crooked move and preferred to
be on the safe side. After consulting
with the Indian policeman, it was de-
cided to telegraph Smead, and the
telegram was written out and given
to a man to take to the nearest tele-
graph Office. The messenger started
to ride off, but he was seen by the
Indians. who started after him and
after a chase caught him and took
the message away. 1t was given to
some of the band who could read
writing, and these in turn translated
it to the others. 1t was then torn up
and a sharp lookout was maintained
to prevent any other messages being
sent. Other outside cattlemen, in
Guiding John Herman and w. F. Hub
bart, had cattle in the Lynch bunch.
and after the summary treatment of
the messenger they enlisted the aid
of neighboring chief. and he visited
the Camas camp and tried to effect
some settlement with them, but the
only way they would settle was on
cash basis, and the stockmen were
advised to accept their terms. The
Indians asked for $500 at first, and
when this was paid they asked for
$50 more, and this was also paid.
Smead before leaving, had instruct
ed the cattlamen not to pay the In
dians under any circumstances, but
as the results proved. it was the only
thing they could 10 if they intended
to get their cattle away, and of the
two evils they chose what they
thought was the lesser one. What
action Smead will take is problema
teal, but the whole question will
probably be laid before the Indian
departme ent.
Major Sm2ad, III explanation of the
charges of dishonesty made by the
Indians. says that instead of giving
out money to the Indians he issues
! instead farming implements and sup
plies to the exact amount, but the In
! dians labor under the impression
that these articles are furnished by
the government free OF cost to them
and that they should be given the
cash.
The outlook for stock the coming
winter is none too good, and the pros
pscts are for a hard winter for stock.
The grass is short and poor, and a
ereat deal of feeding will have to be
done during the winter. In view OF
this. the Indians claim that it is an
Injustice for people living ouslde the
reservation to Craze their stock there
when there is hardly enough grass
for their own stock, and they will try
and compel all outsiders to take their
cattle off the reservation. There are
more cattle on the reservation than
ever before, and the number is far
too large for the grazing facllltles,
especially now when grass is so poor.
Two outfits of outside stockmen alone
are grazing about 1000 head on the
reservation range, and the Indians
claim that they dave no right to be
there and must get out. There is
general feeling of dissatisfaction and
discontent with Major Smead' S
regime. and especially with his ac-
tion in permitting foreign cattlemen
TO use reservation lands, and they
propose to take the matter UP at
Washington and keep the resefVa'
tion for themselves. as they claim
that it is their land.

The Register man intimates
that Stanley and his following
who worked the wires for the
electionof Long asU. s. Senator
are all to be paid something. In
closing his comment on the
stampede of the Stanley push,
Bro. Clark says:
The Long crowd made Rome
howl around the Copeland after
Stanley withdrew. The Stanley
men were almost equally as iubi-
liant but had not received pay
yet.
just w.fe knows they sshad
not received their pay yeti de-
ponent sayeth not. And yet,
the Register will whoop it up for
the corrupt set of republican
ringmasters who thus disgrace
Kansas, and will continue to
assert that there is no pure poll
tics except republican politics.
The great and only Chester T.,
has attained his ambition, and
now the people of~the 7th dis
trict, while not doing any of the
dancing, will be paying the fid-
der by holding special election
to fill the vacancy caused by
Longs promotion. 1t is esti-
mated that the cost to Barton
county will be about $6OO-and
to the district about $4,000.

Lone may the dead remain in
the (Le) land ofthe living. Three
years ago Cy Leland was declar-
ed to be politically too dead to
skin. He got knocked off the
Republican National committee,
lost the fight for q. S. Senator,
and lost the pension agency.
Your Uncle Cy never batted an
eye, but putting on his armor,
he went into the fight with re-
newed vigor. In the face of
seemingly overwhelming odds,
he landed Bailey, and all but two,
of his candidates on the state
ticket. He won the second round
by putting Pringle in the speak
er's chair. Round three was
his, where, in spite Of the person
al feelings of the legislature, and
when he knew the rank and file
were for Hoch, he elected Clark
printer. And now comes the
final bout, when after. the 9Th
ballot IN the Republican caucus,
Stanley withdraws in favor OF
Long for U. S. Senator. Leland
was, aboye the surface, for Stan
ley, but, beyond a doubt, he
never was sincere in his support
| for the Ex-Governor, and it is
questionable if Stanley was sin
cere in his candidacy. Lelandism
is in control. and is rapidly
making campaign ammunition
for the fusionists:
