Claims of n Distinguished Indian Chief ana
Guide.
Tho claim or Plack Beaver, Delaware Indian, Is
now before the senate Committee on Military Affairs
He belongs TO the Delaware tribe, and was IN the
employ of the government all or nearly all OF the
time s,nce the commencement OF the Mexican war.
During that war he was captain Of company OF
Delawares and Shawnees IN the United States Army
since that time. up to the commencement of the
late war, he had been employed as guide and inter-
preter by the different commanding officers at the
nests of Forts Arbucke and Cobb in the indian Ter
rtory ana by the supcrintendents and agents for
the Indians in the vicinity of those forts lie was at
Fort Arbucke abOut five years and at Fort Cobb one
year. Immediately preceding the last war, and during
that time had invested all of his and earnings
in cattle and hogs and had at the breaking out Of
the war large stock. IN the spring Of 1861 Gen.
eral Emory requested him to guide hts command, as
also the combined commands from Forts Smith,
Cobb ana Arbucke to Fort Leavenworth but he hesi-
tated about leaving his stock until General Emory
assured him that he should be paid by the govern
ment for his losses. and that representation he
complied with the request and came with the cam
mands to Fort Leavenworth, and remained there
till the war ended When he returned to his place
he found his stock was all gone, some OF the cattle
having been killed by the wild Indians and some by
the Southern army. He has never realized cent
for the property he abandoned and Is now In need.
lie sums up his losses at S22 1858. General Emory
speaks of Black Beavers invaluable services and
earnestly presses the justice of the claim OF "this
aged and worthy man." and says, "The extricaton
from the frontier Of Texas the country OF the
bellious Indians acting in sympathy with the South,
which was enabled to do by the aid of Black Bea-
ver had a momentous effect in favor OF the Union
party, on the destiny of Kansas and the State of
Missouri, and exceedingly regret Beavers Claims
have not been before acknowledged"
