Click on image to zoom in
W. I. Walker of Novelty Manufacturing Company is having difficulties with the land he has leased from the Standing Rock Indian Reservation. According to Walker, there is no syndicate of cattle men as George Kennan argued in an article in The Outlook. He argues that the Standing Rock land is less beneficial than the Cheyenne territory, and when this is taken into account, the land cost was essentially the same. He argues that the Indians are fine with the agreement and that the taking of Indian cattle by white men will be less likely with the fence that he will put up. Walker argues that his money has been held up by the government.
