During the months OF August and
September Thomas Lane, the United
States Indian agent for the Grow
Creek Indian agency, will be kept
busy in disposing CT allotted lands Oh
the agency. These lanus belong to
heirs Of Indians who have died since
receiving their allotment when the
lands were given the Indians. There
are twenty-eight pieces Of land
belonging to Indian allottees which
are to be disposed of during those
two months. The lands will be sold
at private sale, and bids will be
received by Mr.. Lane UP to the date
of sale.
OF the land to be sold there are
6,9l9 a~cres..of excellent farming land.

SOP acres, and he has two heirs who
will benefit by the sale OF the land.
