MILLION AND HALf ACRES FOR SETTLERS
Proceeds of Land les to lie Parti?
t'aed for Temporary Deneilt of
Indians, and Remainder to
Be Held for the Future.
(From a Start Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, May 6 (Sporlal Tele
gramsMajor James McLaughlin of th
Indian bureau Is preparing his report on
the treaty recently negotiated by him be
tween the United States and 1,650 Shoshone
and Arapahoe Indians now occupying the
Wind river reservation In Wyoming
whereby 1,40.000 acres of land will be
thrown ope-n to white settlement.
The Indians agree to retire from 1,600,000
acres and take up their domiciles upon a
tract covering about 800,000 acres. Those
who may settle In the Wind river reservn
tlon are to pay at the following rates and
make final payment within eight yearn:
One dollar and a half per acre for all lands
taken within the first two years; $1.25 per
acre after three years, and all remaining
unsold after three years to be disposed of
by the secretary of the Interior at fl per
acre, and should any lands remain after
the expiration of eight years they shall be
placed on sale for any amount they will
bring.
' The proceeds from the sale of the Wind
river lands will be hold by the t'nltod
States for the purpose of creating a fund
out of which M per capita Is to be paid to
each and every Indian of the tribe or
tribes. This obligation having been paid,
subsequent money received from the sale
of Wind river lands will be held by the
government for the purpose of lrrlgnting
lands retained by Indians, the purchase
of stock and $M,O0O for school purposes.
Including the $50 per capita payment. Irri
gation fund, purchasing stock and money
for school purposes It Is estimated will
call for about $335,000. It Is expected that
a considerably larger sum than this will
be realized from the sale of the lands to
be opened to settlement In the Wind river
country and the surplus Is to be deposited
In the United States treasury to create a
"general welfare fund," which will be dis
bursed by the secretary of the Interior
for the benefit of the Indians at his dis
cretion. Rural carriers appointed for Nebraska:
Beatrice, regular, Ira Clough; substitute,
Harry Clough; Stolnauer, regular, John A.
Wagner; substitute, Jud Wagner.

ries of presidential postmasters theso

STATE ORATORICAL CONTEST
South, Omaha Girl Again Wins Flrat
Place In the Dramatic
Claaa.
' SCHUYLER, Neb., Mar 6. (Special Tele
gram.) Tho state declamatory contest oc
curred here at the Janecke opera house
tonight and was a success in every par
ticular, the attendance being large and
much beyond that anticipated. The In
terest and attention was unusual and the
merit of the participants exceptional.
. In the oratorical class, Pauline Ellas of
Columbus won first prise; subject, "John
Brown."
In the dramatic class, Catherine Rowley,
South Omaha, won first prize, subject, "The
Larue Stakes;" second, Irene Elliott, Al
liance, with "The Doom of Claudius and
Cynthia."
In the humorous class Ruth N. Franola,
Crawford, with "Naughty ZelL" was first.
Edith Simmons, Seward, second prize, with
"The Bear Story Alexis Made up Hlself."
There was general satisfaction with the
decisions, they having been reached by the
Judges, which left the referee without any
thing to do other than make announce
ments and present prizes. The Judges wore
Prof. W. H. Clemmons, Fremont.; Super
intendent H. H. Hahn, Blair, and Super
intendent Harry P. Hooper, Claries; ref
eree. Principal A. H. Waterhouse, Omaha.
Music was furnished by the local man
dolin club, and two solos were sung by
Principal R. L. Chambers of Schuyler.
There was large attendance from the cities
having representatives.
parents have made the Identification posi
tive. Joseph Derby of David City, whose
store was robbed a few days before the
murder, was here this week and identifies
a shirt which Kelley Is now wearing; he
also identified a necktie which was on the
murdered man.
Believing that pnrt of the goods trtken
from his store would be found here a
search warrant was Issued and the resi
dence of Simuel Kavlch was searched and
over $100 worth of dress goods, shirts, mit
tens, mufflers, lice, silk, etc., was found.
Kavlch, who Is a peddler, was away from
home at the time, but complaint was filed
and a warrant Issued and Kavlch was lo
cated at Harvard. He was arraigned be
fore a Justice of the peace this morning
and waived his examination and was held
to the district court under $500 bond, which
he furnished. He positively Identifies Kel
ley as one of the men from whom he
bought the stuff and from his description
Sheriff Csrrlg is confident that Snowden
was the other msn. tie bought the stuff
from them only two days before the mur
der. The sheriff also has evidence that
both Snowden and Kelley were In Hum
phrey the day before the murder, and Kel
ley was there the day after. Kelley has
employed Harris & Prince of Grand Island
to defend him.
Tramp Asaanlts Girl.
FLORENCE, Neb., May . (Special Tele
gram.) What Is believed to have been an
attempt at criminal assault was committed
Friday afternoon on Miss Mabel Bullock,
the lA-year-old daughter of W. H. Bullock
of this city. The perpetrator, who was in
appearanre a tramp, Is at liberty and is
unidentified. The young woman was able
to give a fair description of him and the
authorities hope to find him. Publlo feel
ing is high. Miss Bullock, who lives with
her parents on Jefferson street, was out
picking plum blossoms with a girl com
panion of about her own age. They had
gone beyond tne school house about 200
yards from the house, when a man sud
denly sprang out from behind the trees
Miss Bullock tried to scream, but the man
seized her and choked her so that she
could make no sound. Her companion
however, majo a loud outcry and started
running down the street. Her cries brought
quick assistance and the miscreant was
able to get away. Miss Bullock Is not
particularly the worse for her misadven
ture.

The Acre dispute, supposed to have been

Peru and Bolivia, for the ownership of a
large triangular tract of rubber lands,
situated where the three countries adjoin,
Bolivia waa eliminated by an agreement
satisfactory to It and it was supposed that
Peru's claim also had been met. It ap
pears, however, that Peruvian troops re
main In the territory claimed by Brazil
and today Minister Thompson cabled the
State department from Rio as follows:
If Peru refuses to withdraw troops from
the disputed territory Inhabited by Bra
zilians pending negotiations which are to
I e followed If necessary by arbitration,
Braul will immediately resort to force to
expel the Peruvians, and will proceed to
reprisals.
