PASSING OF THE RED MAN.
Death Rate Is About Twice That of
Other Races.

For once in many years the birth rate
among the Indians of the west is greater
than the death rate. and the Indian Office
is hopeful that it will continue to keep in
advance. During the fiscal year 1896
births and BITS deaths were reported to
the Indian bureau. Comparisons. how
ever, show that the death rate among
the Indians is still about twice that OF
other races. while the birth rate is now
averaging those of the others. The out
look, according to Commissioners Valen-
tine, is favorable, and he has hopes that
after some years the death rate among
the Indians will be materially decreased
There are now about 100000 Indians In
this country, exclusive of the number In

the decision of the district court,
Judge H. K. Evans presiding. One
case was that of W. A. Kirkpatrick
VS.. F. A. Greenland ct al, in which
action was brought to cancel deed
to farm claimed by Kirkpatrick,
and the decision gives Mr.. Kirkpat-
rick the land. The other case was
that of Della M. Creveling VS.. Geo.
w. Brown, in which the plaintiff
claimed title to a farm near La
moni which was purchased by de-,
PENDANT from Susan Fowler, and
after her death plaintiff filed deed
executed some time before under
which she claimed title. The lower
court held that plaintiff had no claim
to title and the supreme court also
holds this to be the case and gives
the land to Dir. Brown.
