Governmental red tape in Indian
Territory has cost the Indian a vast
sum Of money, it has set back in

has looked upon the lands which
he could not dispose of as being
worthless, he has regarded his
claims against the government
which he could not collect as not
being worth a snap, and he has
been willing to turn them over to
