WEEKS HAPPENINGS
NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A CON-
DENSED FORM.
Are the Indians Being Buncoed?-
Government is Investigating Leas-
ing OF Grazing Lands Cattlemen
Make Complaint.

An investigation into the practical
workings of the leasing Of Indian lands
for grazing purposes is in progress ut
CHEYENNE agency, west of the Missouri
River, in South Dakota, under the direc-
ton of an attache of the interior depart
ment and an attorney representing the
Indians Rights Association. The big
cattle r~aisers, who for many years en-
joyed the free range and who made hllil-
ions out of the business, are alleged TO
have complained to the association. which
in turn complained to the department or
the interior, that the leasing system was
not working to the advantage of the In
dams. The present inquiry, which has
been under way for several weeks. was
undertaken as a result of the complaint.
Prior to three years ago, a few big
stockmen and cattle syndicates in sioux
City, Omaha, Chicago, Kansas City and
elsewhere grazed thousands of head Of
horses and cattle on the lands of the In
dams Of the Cheyenne reservation. abso-
lutely free, except for small sums paid
"squaw men" and half breeds who pos
sessed influence with the other Indians,
and who acted rs their representatives.
In 1901 Maj. Ira Hatch, the agent ut the
reservation. undertook to clear the reser-
walton of trespassing stock. 1t was esti-
mated that there were 10000 head of
stock grazing upon the range at that
time, for which the Indians received
nothing. The total value of this great
number, at $50 n head, was So. 100000.
As n result of the leasing system, the
Indians have already received in rentals
$29S,OOO. or nearly SD for every man,
oma and child on the reservation, the
total Indian population of the reservation
being in the neighborhood of $500. But
the time is nearing when the leases will
expire, and. so South DakotanS acquaint-
ed with the situation charge, the cattle
barons are seeking to regain the hold on
the reservation which they formerly pos
sessed, and are trying to achieve their
ends through the misplaced sympathy of
the Indians Rights Association.

TRIES TO MURDER WOMAN.
VernIillion Man Attacks His Wife,
Stabbiug Her Six Times.

During a quarrel with his wife Elmer
Washburn stabbed her six times with a
knife, inficting wounds from which the
woman may die. Washburn went home
drunk and abused his wife and chased
her from the house. She went to A.. X.
Martins house, closely followed by the
Infatuated husband, who drew n knife
and began stabbing her. Night Watch
man Sullivan heard the woman's screams
and FASTENED to aid her. Washburn
turned on him, but the officer got in the
first blow, knocking the would-be murder
or senseless.
Washburn is jealous of his wife, charg-
ing intimacy with another, and would
undoubtedly lave killed her but for the
prompt arrival of Officer Sullivan. Mrs.
Washburn is in a critical state. Wash
burn is in Jail.

Mexican Border.

During an investigation begun in the
criminal court ut Juarez, Mex, across the
river from I'll Paso, Tex, it transpires
that $1,000 in Mexican paper money was
removed from a package given into the
care of the Wells Fargo Express Com
pany for shipment on last Friday. 1t
was consigned by the Bank Of Miners, al
Chihuahua, to its branch at Juarez.
On arrival the package was found to be
short one-half of the amount Of the orig
inal consignment. The seals were IN
broken and the package had apparently
not been tempered with. Other material
had been substituted for the missing 81,

amined, but the responsibility has not YET
