The general election which had agais
been stained with the blood Of Canadal

the 23d and 24,h Of February, 1871, l
being then citizen of the state of Mis-
souri,, was present at the Trading House
Of P. Chouteau, Jr., & Co., on the Des
Moines River; that between two and three
o'clock the store was discovered to be on
fire, which had SO far progressed as to be
beyond the power of extinguishiug by
any means at commands; that within
twenty-five or thirty minutes from the
alarm the buildings blew up. destroying
all the property except a few articles that
had been removed before the time. /
further depose, that wassin said building
about sunset, or shortly after, at which
time there was no fire in the same; that
it was closed for the night about this
time; and that to the best OF my belief no
fire or candle was afterwards taken into
said buildings. And / further depose.
that about 10 o'clock of said night, l
went out of doors, and passed along the
front of said buildings, and there was no
appearance of fire to be seen; and that, as
| stepped past the end Of said building, I
distinctly perceived an Indian to walk a.
a quick pace, from the corner at which
the fire appeared to have originated, as if
alarmed at my approach, but knowing
that Indians were always in the neighbor-
hood, it did not excite any suspicion at
the time, of any mischieyous design on
his part; and that VIM. Phelps. the resi-
dent Agent Of the establishment had re-
tired 10 bed before this time.
also depose, that the appearance Of
the FIRE at the time Of its discovery, as
we'll as the fact that shed and carriage
at the southeast corner of the building
were burned, and not moved by the ex-
plosion, show il to have originated upon
1.-The outside Of the building; and that at the

For the Hawkeye and Patriot.

MIR ED1ToR-My attention has been
directed, by friend, to an article in the
Burlington Gazette, Of Feb. l3, signed
''VER1TAs" --the object Of which seems
to be, to create an impression that there
is danger Of acar from the Sacs and Fox,
es, in consequence of the non-payment of
last years annuities. The following let
ter Of Mr.. J. P. Eddy, of your town, to
Mr. jeremiah Smith, of Des Mones, will
give to those interested better view of
the whole subject, than any thing could
advance. Mr. S., however, was TOO hon.
est to be made tool of, and after reading
the letter, sent it to the Indian Agent. 1t
follows. verbatin7, ct Eteratin,.
The Hawk-eye and Iowa patriot. (Burlington, Iowa) 1839-1843, 1841-04-08

WuososCt VIC people VI Iowa may think,
can assure :. Veritas y that the citizens
OF Illinois, who recollect the scenes Of
'32, would deplore to see the Indians
l"drilled" into another war. Had Keo-
kuck's advice been needed by the "re.
oered" Black Hawk, and the .spatriotic
spirits" who followed him to war, many
valuable lives would have been spared.
It was for this noble conduct that the
United States Commissioners, General
Scott and Gov. Reynolds, with the con-
sent OF the Indians, placed Keokuck at
the head Of the Sacs.
For the information of "Veritas" I
Will here state that the American Fur
Company have not traded with the Sacs
and Foxes for the last nine years-anl
would further beg leave to say, that if
his denunciations of the American Fur
Company refer to Messrs Pratte, Chou
teau u Co., that his statements are down.
right and positive falsehoods. For the
truth OF this assertion, | will refer 10 the
Report of the U. s. Commissioner, Mr..
Fleming, for the people, as that Compa-
ny's accounts were almost the only ones
that were not curtailed by the Commits
sloner. Or the Indians, as being too high,
and perhaps the only ones who produced
the original books of entry, for the last
tour years. The assertion, that the san
nul,ies' are ''uniformly transferred from
the hands Of the Agent to those of the
Company" is equally and positively
false. The money has been, in all cases,
for the last eight years, during which
time have attended the payment of the
annui,ies,) been paid by the Agent, or
Pay Master, to the chiefs and head men
OF the Nation, and by them paid to such
creditors as they, in previous council
had determined upon.
With his remarks about the Agent I
have nothing TO do. Should Captain
Beach take no notice Of him, it will not
be because he cannot convict him of
talsehooa, but because he does not wish
to notice every dog that Gov. Lucas can
get to bark for him, and it will be time
enough to complain when those that sui.
fer by the "drilling' of the Indians blame
him.
For the information of those who are
unacQuainted with the fact, l would re-
mark that Mr. Goodell, the drill Mas
ter, is Gov. Lucas official Interpreter
licensed hand in the Indian trade, in the
employ of MIR Eddy, { IN direct violation
OF laa0,) but whether hired By the Coz
error to Mr. Eddy, to trade with, and
"drill" the indians, or permitted to do so
without fee or reward, l am unable to
say. p.
