During December this year have been
the largest on record and the fact
that the price averaged steady to a lit
tie higher on most kinds is very en-
couraging. The local packers have
slaughtered a total of 100000 cat
tie and calves here this year, whicn
is Is per cent greater than any pre-
vious year at Kansas City. Total
cattle receipts here are also the larg-
est on record, at 2,450,000 head, in
Guiding calves. OF this number 1885,

In this case there are gS plaintiffs
II their case Is decided favorably
there viii be hundreds Of other simi.
lar cases. The plaintiffs have been
admitted to the rolls and given al.
lotments as Chickasaw freedmen. I'm.
der this classification they get nut
forty acres OF land each They claim
that they have Choctaw blood i'm their
veins and demand that they be placed
on the rolls as Choctaws. This would
give each one an allotment Of 32O
acres each. They 20 back to long be
fore they moved To this country and
show that they are descendants OF
Indian parontage The Choctaw and
Chickasaw nations resent this, butn
from sordid and sentimental view
They object to giving these claimants
more land and they also object to
their claiming Indian blood because
the Indians have always looked with
disfavor upon intermarriage with ne.
groes.
Not long ago n case of this kind
was taken before the department OF
the interior. 1t was the Joe and Dill
lard Perry case. The departmo held
that nothing could be done because
the applicants had not made appli-
cation before the Indian rolls closed
The question of blood right was not
passed upon. This was considered a
victory by the attorneys for the freed
men and has resulted in these new
cases being filed. The Perry case
was one of widespread interest and
bitterly fought by both nations. The
case that is now before the commits
sion is of still greater interest
