the Others.
The Indian Commissioner-The Is
something to be said about those men who
have come along that j would rather not
be obliged to say to you. They have not
come by the wish of anybody but them
selves, 50 far as know, and they have been
sources OF mischief and trouble ever since
they came here. They got you to insist on
going to the Washington House, and they
got some OF you to 60 there, alter

Judge whether had better do il or not

We invited these other three to come, in
order TO be witnesses ON our return a. to
