but it is rumored that he may erect a

erection Of a hotel building in that

the general opinion that by the sale Of
the Nassau property their plans will

to be used by the Daniels & Fisher
Stores Company for delivery and show
in the east to give the animals a smart
appearance
Immediately on the arrival of the
horses in Denver they were put to
work, but an agent of the bureau of
child and animal protection spotted"
them with disastrous results. The mel,
who imported the horses and the driv-
ers were arrested and convicted of
cruelty to animals in the lower court,
where a heavy fine was imposed.
The case was appealed to the SUI
preme court, where it is now pending
Having been convicted and fined, the
owners of the animals thought it would
be perfectly proper to go ahead using
the horses. So another driver was pro?
cured and they were put to work. But
again the Humane society objected.
The horses were still without tails and
the society considered it proper to ar
rest any number Of drivers.
The matter was laid before Chief
Justice Gabbert of the supreme court
for ruling as to whether the animals
could be worked. He stated that dur
ing the pending litigation the horses
could not be worked, but that the HUI
name society in seeking to prevent
cruelty in one way could not restrict
the owners from giving the horses prop
err exercise, as that would work cruelty
in another way. The upshot of the
whole matter is that the i imported
horses are here in Denver leading a
very pleasant, although tailless, exist
ence. Under no circumstances will
they be allowed to work. but at the
same time they must be given proper
amount of exercise. The situation lis
little less than horses paradise.

WILL SELL INDIAN LANDS

DEPARTMENT WILL OFFER PROP

CARELESS OF COLOR.
A CHANCE TO GET SOME GOOD LAND

The general land office Of the United
States will shortly institute a series of
what will be known as inherited In
dian land sales. In 1892 a law was
passed by congress providing for the
allotment to each Indian of whatever
tribe, a quarter section of the land
of his reservation. This law applied
to the old and young. male and female.
Many allotments were made soon
after the law was passed, and the In
dian owners of the allotment have
since died, from time to time. Their
land passed into the hands Of the in
terror department in the capacity OF
an administrator on a wholesale scale.
The department now has about 500 of
these estates to settle, many of them
in the Crow reservation, and will begin
to sell the land and dispose Of the pro-
ceeds of the sale to the heirs Of the
dead Indians, in the regular order OF
administering upon the respective es-
tates. The land will be sold to the
highest bidder, white or Indian. and
the man who buys tract will receive
a regular deed from the government,
lust the same as il the transaction was
between individuals. In a few days
the government may put up about 20
of these tracts. Ninety days previous
notice will be given by publication in
some newspaper contiguous to the res
ervation where the lands are to be sold.
A significant feature of these sales
is that the lands in question lie in the
unceded portion of the reservation, as
relating to the Crow tribe, and it there
fore follows that in a very few years
white settlers will be scattered through
all that part of the domain that has
been reserved for the Indian, it being
reasonable to suppose that white men
will compose the lare majority of the
buyers when these lands are put up at
public auction.
