NEWS OF THE WEEK IN A GON
DENSED FORM
Omaha Indians Hold a Council to
Project a Method AVhcraby the
Tribe May Collect 88000 from
the Government for Lciitd
Council of Omaha Tribe
The council of the Omaha tribe met
near Decatur at the home of White Horse
one of the chiefs to project a method
whereby the tribe may collect some 88
000 due them by the government for land
not paid for This land was sold some
forty years ajio by the Omahas to the gov
ernment The statute of limilation as to
when this money should have been paid
of a last resort has gone by Now the
Indians claim the government has com
mitted a breach of contract and the land
in question reverts back to the tribe This
land represents the beautiful prairies and
valleys along the Logan and Elkhorn
rivers and now unfortunately for the In
dians is densely populated with white peo
ple The stale law says if a person holds
a piece of land in peaceable possession for
ten years it is his These settlers have
made these farms their homes for from
fifteen to twenty and twenty five years
Unmolested and in the quiet enjoyment of
the same The course that will probably
be pursued by the tribe will be to bring
suit against the government for breach of
contract and then substitute an action for
damages the amount to cover the indebt
edness due the Indians by the government
as agreed upon in the original purchase
