The Indians Are Satisfied.

Kingfisher (I. T.) telegram: An agreement was arrived at between the Cheyenne and the Arapahoe Indians and the Cherokee Commissioners to-day. The Indians accepted the terms proposed by the commissioners—to wit: They are to have their lands in severalty —l6O acres to each man, woman, and child—and receive 81,500,000, 8500,000 cash and 8500,000 to draw 5 per cent interest. The Indians began signing tho agreement at 6p. m. It will probably require eight or ten days to completo this part of the business. Tho treaty opens up over 4,000,000 acres of land to settlement under the homestead law,but the acre settlers will have to-pay 81.25 per acre when they come to prove up. This practically settles the work of the commission at present. Ciia.ri.kß R. Nelson filed a 850,000 suit against the Pan Handle Railroad company, at Logansport, Ind. Nelson was run over by an engine in January and had both legs off. -
