Courtesy and Discourtesy as Charged by Generals Sher- man, Kautz and Others, and Discharged by J. P. Cum, Late Agent for the San Carlos Reservation.

TUCSON, A. T., August Ii, 1877. To THE PUBLIC:
 Owing to the recent inventions en- anating from Department Head Quar- ters, Prescott, A. T., containing grave lnsinuations and modest charges, touching upon the administration of Indian affairs by me at San Carlos, during the last three years, I have thought that it would be of interest to the public, and justice to myself, to submit the following correspondence fer general information and popular approval or disapproval:
 JOHN P. CLUM.
The Arizona sentinel., 1877-09-01
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR,
 OFFICE OF INDIAN AFFAIRS.


 WASHINGTON, D. C., June 15, 1877. JOHN P. CLUM, U s. Indian Agent, San Carlos, Arizona.
 SIR:-Inclosed herewith are copies of telegraphlc correspondence, and of communications received by Depart ment reference from the Hon. Secre- tary of War, relating to military CO., operation in the removal of Indians from Warm Springs to San Carlos, It is charged that your action in refusing the escort rendered by Gen. Kautz, and thereby compelling the military of New Mexico to enter the Depart ment of Arizona, was unauthorized, and that there was a breach of personal and official courtesy on your part in the correspondence referred to. You are directed to make explanation of the matter. Very respectfully,
 (Signed) A. BELL,
 Acting Commissioner.
 
 TUCsON, ARIZONA, July 28, 1877. To the Hon. Commissioner of h. dian Affairs, Washington, D. c.
 SIR:-I have just received a con- from your office dated June 15, and signed IA Bell, Acting Commissioner" enclosing copies of a telegraphic correspondence between the Department Commander of Ari- zona and myself, in which I am charged with breach of personal and official courtesy. The letter states that I am "directed to make explanation of the matter"
 1 do not recognize proper authority vested in Mir. Bell to "direct" me 10 do anything against my own volition. Had MT. Bell requested" :" me to make an explanation in the matter, I might have complied. Yet this would seem a waste of time since the reports of Inspector Vandever and myself,
The Arizona sentinel., 1877-09-01
INDIAN AND WAR CORRESPONDENCE

with the statements of Ex-Governor
 Stafford and others, seem to have had
 little or no consideration at your office.
 I will however venture a few re-
 marks which may be considered an explanation or otherwise, yet in my opinion no explanation or apology is
 due to either the Indian or War Office.
 In February 1876, I sent to your
 office long letter recounting many
 not only personal and official dis
 courtesles," but "personal and official
 insults" to me and to the Indian
 service General Kautz, Capt. Ogilby,
 Capt Worth and others were the au
 thors of these gross insults. More
 than a year has passed since made
 these representations, and I have not yet heard that your Department has
 made any effort by word or act to re- dress the wrongs. The army officers and War Office hurl insult after insult and islander after islander upon the In- dian Department and its officers, and the Indian Office says not a word in defense; but seems 10 quake and tremble like weaklIng or coward under the vile blasts of these arrogant warriors. I regret that 1 must say fh,c hrt # ic trua
 The War Department acts quite diff ferently. Any act on the part of an Agent that bears the least shadow of independence towards the army, is promptly referred through the Depart ments up to the War Office. This office demands an apology from the offender through the Indian Department, and the Indian Office immediately joins in the demand, and the Agent has his choice either to apologize or resign. This is not applicable to my case at present. 1 have already resigned, but the application is quite general.
 Under these circumstances, I have little spirit left to make any defense through your office. 1 am always ready to defend my position. 1 have asked for full and thorough invesliga- tions and for ju>tlce. Neither has been granted All manner of charges have been made against me by the Kautz faction. For over three years, the army have endeavosed to prove me inefficient and criminal. They have failed in this, and now at lhe last they cry dis courtesy" I would expect as much of Gen. KautZ, but 1 am surprised io find that such men as Generals Sher man and Mcdowell re-echo the silly charge. In February of this year, Kautz inlImated very strongly that was guilty of benetiting myself through the possible savings of Qn- lian) rations," also charging inability, nefficiency and reputcd crimlnallty. These all rolled into the War Office endorsed by the big war chiefs, and the War Office insults the Indian Department by ftinging into ts face charges of robbery, criminal sctIOn, etc. The charges are found alse. The insult burns, and yet no 'edress is demanded. The War Office s embroidered by each successful af- rOnt, and when Gen. Kautz finds his ,raver charges won't stand, he stoops 0 the modest charge of discour!esy! All the great men of war. from Gen. Sherman down, and from Gen. Sher-

 copies of telegraphic correspondence, with view to correct any miscon- struction that Agent Cum may have put upon my answer to his application for my cooperation.
 As Agent Clum's dispatch of the 31st of March to me, did not fore shadow the removal of all the h. dians from the Warm Spring Reserva- ton tn the San Carlos, I saw no oc- caslon to march troops into the De- partment af Missouri, when there were troops close at hand, and hence my reply of the 31st enclosed.
 On the Sd inst, I received Col. Hatch's dispatch of April 27, winch, owing to the incompleteness of the telegraph line to Santa Fe, was delayed.
 So also was it impossible to com. municate with Col. Hatch, as I m. structed the commanding officer at Camp Bowie to inform me of the movements of Agent Cum, and Can. tain Wallace's dispatch from Agent Cum is the result.
 Its tone indicates to my mind, that he construed my answer as a refusal. 1 do not know that such is the case, but the fact that he procured instruc- tions to Col. Hatch for the troops from New Mexico, to conduct Agent Cum With the Indians all the way to San Carlos, enables hlm to make very independent and discourteous reply. Of course I could readily humiliate Mr. Cum Tn the matter, by relieving the troops from New Mexico, and directing their return as soon as they entered Arizona Territory, but as he is over-anxlous for grievance, prefer not to give him one.
 These copies are forwarded simply Tor l7formation, in case he should

Thereby he compelled the escort from New Mexico to enter the Department of General Kautz; military commands, like State lines, are real necessities which an h. dian agent has no right to disregard. The troops in Arizona are the troops of the United States and do not belong to General Kautz Agent Cum, by and official d;scourtesy, does not help to smooth our difficulties al- ready great enough.

Fire and Probable Murder.-Between
IL and IL o'clock, on Wednesday night
OF last week, brilliant light was seen
almost due north OF this place, and was
also seen from Toledo. Nothing was
heard explaining the cause, until Satur-
days Bee cana to hand, stating that the
light was caused by the burning of log
dwelling of an old bachelor and hermit,
named WM. TRAINER, residing near Iol-
land Station, Lucas county. Also, that
Mr.. TRAINER was burned with the cabin,
his charred remains being found in the
ruins. 1t is believed the hermit's hom e
was burned to conceal the dark crimes Of
robbery and murder, as Mr.. T. was snp-
posed to have had large amount of mon
ey hid away about the premises.
We have since learned that suspicion
rests upon 4 young man in that vicinity
of being implicated in the double crime.
About two months since, Mr.. TRAINER was
putting a new roof on his cabin, and on
hearing noise within descended and met
young man coming out. He had with
him a shotgun and other equipments for
hunting, and on meeting Mr.. L. inquired
il that was the residence of Mr.. TRAINER
and the distance to Swanton. After his
departure, Mr. T. examined his premises
and found that his bureau had been dis.
turbed, and few pennies and ten years
diary missing. The diary was soon after
found in corn6eld and returned to its
owner Since the fire, several pieces OF
silver have been found. r
