Criticise Government and Will Not File lipoii Omaha, Sept. of the prize winners in the biff Hosebud land lottery aro now accusing Uncle Sara of fooling them. Many of them aro dissatisfied with the land they have drawn, and with the government's method of disposing of it; not a few of them openly charge the government with "bunco" work in connection i the opening- of the South Dakota reservation, nncl a lurge number will not file upon thefr claims.

Complnlnts from prize-winners have been pouring into the g-eneral land office for wee.kB.

It is charged, Is worth more than the government's price, and much of It Is hot worth faun writes. "You couldn't raise an umbrella on my land." Another man writes: "Tha government has handed me a gold brick." Still another writes: "I always supposed that the government toted fair with the people In these drawings, but in this caso it has buncoed them." The government 1ms always come In for more or leas criticism after its land lotteries, but it has been subjected to much more than usual since the Rosebud-drawing.

The officials of the gen- oral land office say, however, that the people have absolutely no Just cause" for complaint. The government made no false representations with respect to the lands, they declare, and the people had ample opportunity to personally inspect it. and to find out whether It'was what they wanted before the opening look plnce It wns not rase of "buy- ingr a pig" In a poke."
