~, the St. Thomas letter given to the
".onle through the columns OF that
ponsr some weeks ago, concerning the
y ynsiau Agency. has been received with
80, satisfaction by the people heie.
Ths agency was indebted to Mrs. Bish-
80 husband, her bother and others
~. and for the next three days after
A.. letter from St. Thomas appeared.
"Epinootic" Ingalls, made himself busy
:. r.,ipa off, He paid Mrs. Bishops
~ less than l6 hours after the News
clal.n ming the st. Thomas letter was
COZ, and many checks held here be-
is"Cino TO the Muddy folks were paid.
He Rad shown party here letter from
tis brother instructing him to pay that
narty all except $1,7OO, and for him to
live up his papers and return to st.
SShomas. and as soon rs Ingalls, got back
and was convinced of tho correctness of
.hs claims, he would pay the balance.
He was told that the papers were too
nicely fixed up for him to discount one
dollar. and that If be was only % cents
short no settlement could be made.
"Epizootic' sent copy of the RECORD
m his brother and another TO Commits
sioner Smith, telling both of them that
Mr.. Jennings wrote the letter from st.
Thomas, and told them why Mr.. Jen-
ninps wrote it, trying to show tina. he
was actuated by envy and prejudice in so
doing George Ingalls, asked Mr.. Jen-
uings to take the position of head farmer
on the Muddy, and to exert himself to
get in a good crop. He didn't know eI-
actly how long he would be wanted, but
he would guarantee three months ut
Sl25 per month. Mr.. j. commenced
work on the Goth of September. The
settlers in the valley were to plow and
sow the grain, but Mr.. j. was to clear
the land with his Indians, and water the
wheat to make it come up. At ST.
Thomas he was to use Indian help al
together. He put the Indians 10 work,
and in December he had about 800 acres
all nearly up-l00 acres at St. Thomas,
and all the work done by Indians except
sowing the wheat--the clearing, blowing,
narrowing and laying off to irrigate be-
ing all done by Indians. After working
about six weeks man came with an
order to the Doctor to remove Mr.. Jen-
uings without delay. Mr.. J. politely
told the man and tho Doctor that he had
undertaken to put in a crop, and intend
ed to continue, for if he quit work the
crop would be q total failure. He kept
on and put in the crop, after which he
resigned. =.
In regard to the letter which has ere
atea such furry in the Ingalls, family,
We take occasion to say emphaticslly
that it was not written by Mr.. Jennings.

occurred, scattering rock and gravel il
every direction. The unfortunate maj

thought it may be partially, if not en-
