Ihod is clear that $50 had not been received up
to and including oct s, as Bosler swears
"If DIR. Lavllles statement OF his receipts on
the LIST aud 18th of October he asserts. be correct
the swornto figuring of j. H. Boser Is purely FICTITIOUS
Both Dr. Laville and Bosler concur In proving that
there was no agency herd kept after Oct therefore
Lavlos statement that he received on the 10Th Is faise
He admits that he made no issue that day. and by
his own testimony he had herd hand at that date
he certainly could not have received any.
ITO convict Agent aye of false testimony need only
point out that he claims have received only CAT head
before October l5 which, with II head on hand mace
From this number he claims to have issued Oct l.
267 head Oct s. $50 head lost, Oct g. 81 head turned
into Bosler in ALL 597 head issued to Janns 10 mead;
total 3Ol head-issued from 65s In other words, he
issued. lost. &c, $40 head more than he had
For conclusive evidence to the overaverage al
lowed Mr. Walker calls attention TO the sudden reduc-
ton of the weights from November l. when the cattle
were weighed on the Fairbanks scales-Dot averaged
One statement is pointed out test of the value OF
Agent Towards statement. He says that he did not
have $50 beeves but 75 head the goth day OF Sepem
Der His return of provisions showed 95 39 pounds of
beef hand Sept 30 If he had only 7j head on hand
they must have weighed more than 12i5 pounds EACH
while Boser took receipts for the lot received Sept 10
at average of ,OO5 pounds each.
The testimony to the weight OF beef delivered AT
Milestone is said to be almost too absurd for notice
The only positive testimony given Is that OF Behafu
who teses that the beef weighed $50 10 30 pounds per
quarter This would give gross weight OF liO 10 l6O
pounds while Boser got receipts ranging only from 9i-
to 1882 pounds.
The testimony OF = F. Walters in regard to weighing
the stores received is totally at with his state
ment TO Mr. Walker which he took down lii his presence
word for word and is denounced untrue. There are
trustworthy men now in the employ at Red Cloud
Agency whose names Mr. Walker gave Mr.. liinman a
his original inormans, none OF whom are iecorded as
man many names ana private papers at MS request 10
aid him IN his investigation and there appears no evl-
dence OF their having been used.
The records" so called were avowedly made from
the private accounts OF the agent There were no such
records al the Agency when Mr. Walker was there II
there werc and they kept secret, il not GER

In conclusion, the Clerk says In the main. respect
