New Classification Of Indians.

competency board regarding the San
tee and Ponca Indians. This board.
comprising Superintendent F. e. Nc
Intyre. Chief Clerk A. G. Pollock and
H. p. Marble. editor of the Humboldt
Leader. has decided to classify lie
Indians thus: First, all restrictions
removed as to his ability to manage
his estate. when found competent:
second. those deemed capable of max
ing their own leases and attending to
their own business to a limited extent,
and third. those considered incompe-
tent will have the same government
protection as heretofore. Commits
sioner Abbott is also considering the
ACCESSIBILITY Of bringing the trust
lands of the Indians under the Brown
law. which taxes them. but does not
serve as a lien on the lands. The
government will protect counties in
this wherever Indians have leased
lands and will hold the individual In
dian responsible pending the issuance
