the INDIIN HhEr CONTACTS.
How Frauds nre frnciiccd Ia the Quality
aud Weight of Cattle.

WAsHINOToS, sept. l4.-Prof. Marsh was
before the Red Cloud Commission to-day. lie
said that Bosler was the real contractor for sup
might he acting under the contract of others.
As an illustration, a great many bids are made
for supplying beef. Bosler stands outside and
buys out the successful bidder, Bosler being on
the ground and having capital and all otter ap-
plinces FOR filling contracts. In answer to a
question as to how the Government could be
defrauded, II Dosler furnished the beef and
compiled with the contract ne replied, "If a
man obtains a contract at large price and can
sublet itat lower price, the difference between
the Two II the loss to the Government"
In ans wer 70 the charge that BurleT Is notori-
Gus Tor frauds in former contracts, Prof. Marsh
referred TO kemble and AlheTts report to the
Indian Office, In which tney say the quantity OF
beef actually received 10y the W milestone Agency
Ceipted iOr 10 the contractors. lie referred To

that Bosi5T delTcred Texas instead ofAmeric n
when the cattle delivered were not worth more
than half that price Fraud was also practised
10y Bosler In the weights OF cattle.
Prof. Marsh said he judged from his experience
with the Indian Bureau that the Commi sioner
was unwilling to receive Information respecting
the loose management OF affairs at the Red
Cloud Agency. Ho said that the Commissioner
might believe what was told to him about mis-
management, but the information was unkindly
recelYed, lie was much more apt to be indg-
nant with the person VINO brought the infOrma
alleged.
Concerning his charge. that the heads Of bar

pork turned on the ground, the Professor said
that Agent SdYille reported that the head Of
only one barrel was knocked out but he saw
