PROTECT RED MEN.
Land Sale Frauds Prevented by Drastic
Order Of Interior Depart
meut.

Washington, D. c., Sept. 20.-One of
the most drastic orders ever issued by
the government for the protection of the
several Indian tribes against fraud and
robbery was promulgated today by acting
Secretary of the Interior Ryan.
The order in question amends the rules
for the sale Of the inherited Indian lands
SO as to require that the proceeds to be
derived from their sale shall be placed
with the most convenient United States
depository, to the credit of each heir in
proper proportion, subject to the check
of such heir or their recognized guar
dams, for amounts not exceeding $40 to
each in any one month.
Before being paid, however it will be
necessary for these checks to be approved
by the agent or other officer in charge.
For sums in excess of SO per month,
the money will be paid upon the approval
of the agent only when specifically au-
thorized to do SO by the commissioner of
Indian affairs.
Acting Secretary Ryan said that here
tofore the lands have been sold to the
highest bidder and the proceeds paid di-
rectly to the Indians, with the result that
in many instances the Indians were soon
Invested of their money.
