Osagea Ara Richest -Triba of Indiana
—Incoma of Average Family
Amount to $3096 — Oil Royalty
Pays Them Handsomely
GUTHRIE: J E Jenkins the In
dian Inspector has recently complet-
ed a detailed repot t on the Osage
Indians of Oklahoma and has for-
warded the same to Secretary Hitch-
cock for record It Is the flrst'of ri:il
report of the kind in several years
and shows in detail the great wealth
of this Indian tribe Of tho Osagea
he says:
"There are 81470055 acres In the
Osage reservation Of this 882000
are tillable There are COO 000 acres
under oil and gas lease This lease
pays ten per cent royalty and during
the past six months tbe royalty on oil
at fifty-one cents a barrel has been
$708934 Aivother six months will
bring the royalty up to $250000 for
the fiscal year After April 8 the roy-
alty is increased to twelve and one-
half per cent
"Last year the Osage received
from rentals of the:r lands to farm-
ers and cattlemen $275000 They re-
ceived as interest on their vested
funds $413 611 From other sources
they received $100000
There are 1937 Osage Indians who
share in the annuities of the trlhe Of
these there are 841 fullbloods and
1096 of mixed blooo A majority of
the fullbloods wear blankets The
mixed bloods are like any other mixed
blood Indians Sumo or them are ap-
parently white people and act like
white people well educated and Intel
ligent They are rich and the Indian
agent pays their annuities to them
each year with the regularity of a
coupon clipper The average total
annuities in cash paid to each fam
ily has an apportioned farm of from
200 to 1000 which the head of the
family rents to some white man and
gets for It from $2 to $3 per acre The
average family in the Osage nation Is
six making the total income per fam-
ily $3096 in addition to the appor-
tioned farm rents The lack of neces-
sity for laboring is obvious
“There are 2000 school children on
the reservation and of these there
are 1000 who have no schoo privi-
leges The Osages have schools of
their own but whites are not admit-
ted “The Osages acquired the founda-
tion of their wealth from the gov-
ernment They formerly held a strip
of land in Kansas fifty miles wide
and the entire length of the Cherokee
strip The government decided to
move them and to dio so bouit
the land and paid $8000000 for it and
gave the Osages their present reser-
vation This $8000000 has since been
in interest and is still intact The
Illuminating Oil and Gas company has
a blanket lease on the oil producing
section of the nation covering 600000
acres that is worth in royalty now
$250000 per annum This lease ex-
pires in April and the renewal calls
for an Increase in royalty to the In-
dians of two and one-half per cent
The production is daily increasing
and no one can predict what the
amount will be in five years that these
Indians will receive from these oil
lands When the land Is allotted and
sold the Indians will still retain their
rights to the oil and gas royalties that
are stipulated under this lease These
oil wells last year produced 1421487
barrels of oil There are 544 oil wells
and 41 gas wells There have teen
198 ‘dusters’ drilled on the reserva-
tion It is estimated that when the
land is allotted and sold that It will
be worth $6 per acre and that the
total amount of money received by
each man woman and child on the
Osage rolls will be $8500 in addition
to the retained communal intefCsl in
the oil royalties wuren will amount
to $125 per capita annually or an in-
vestment of $1250 at ten per cent in-
terest This would make the actual
settlement bring the total wealth of
the average Osage family of six up
to $51000 cash and a vested interest
bearing ten per cent Interest of $7500
“It is believed that when the land
is allotted that each Indian will take
ICO acres of agricultural land and 40
acres cf mineral land and that the
surplus lands will be taken by the
government and sold by it for the
benefit of the Osages"

final report of Mr Richards
No cnttlo may ho removed fnm

for Immediate shipment’ to market fur

slderable hardship on the caHietnen
of that section The work to oxter
mlnatn the mange mites began o-r’y
In 1904 under the direction of R II
Hahn the territorial Inspector and
has been kept up unceasingly ever
since The sheriffs of both co-uule
have given much aid to tho inspect-
ors in this campaign by enforcing
the quarantines Hahn states tint
one pair of mites multiply In one sea-
son to a million and a half of the
pests but their lives are extremely
short They increase and multiply
during cold weather after the hair
on the cattle gets long and thick
The mites shed off In the spring with
the hair and die but there are always
enough it ft to keep the breed going
and one or two pair of mites can keep
ap entire force of Inspectors busy
All the cattle in the quarantine dis-
trict have been tipped numerous
times in a solutloon prescribed by the
gvernment and the results show that
the work of the inspectors has been
successful When the pastures show
no mites during ihe winter then the
quarantines may be raised in the
spring
Until the final report of Richards
is received showing Just what pas
tures are clean the sanitary board
cannot issue its annual quarantine

Stole Young Cudahy
OMAIIA: The jury in the trial of
Pat Crowe charged with the robbery
of Edward A Cudahy the Omaha
packer of $25000 in connection with
the kidnaping of the latter's son five
years ago after fifteen hours’ delibe-
ration brought in a verdict of not
guilty
The kidnaping of Eddie Cudahy De-
cember 19 1900 and his release upon
the payment by his father of $25000
ransom created a great sensation and
the search for the kidnapers was stim-
ulated at the time by the offer of a
reward of $50000 by Mr Cudahy
It was the belief of the authorities
that Crowe and James Callahan were
the guilty parties but no trace of
them could be found until a year ago
when Callahan was arrested He was
identified by young Cudahy as one or
the captors but released on trial as
it could not be shown that he re-
ceived any of the money and there
was at that time no law’ making the
klpnaplng of a person over ten years
of age a crime Last October Cr lwe
was arrested in Butte Mont and
was put on trial February 7 There
was no evidence to positively identify
Crowe as one of the kidnapers
