THE STEWART WILL CASE.
,,rncE MYSTERIOUS DECISION.

JITDGE WESTBROOkS DEClSlON'
~. OPINION OF THE NATURE OF THE SUIT IFS
PURPOSES AND THE CHARACTER OF THE MEANs
Used IN ITS PROSECUTION.
Jndee WestbroOk has decided the motion mace
tbs anti of Alexander Stewart and another
against Mrs. Cornelia NJ Stewart and Juoge nli,on'
Alexander Stewart claimed to be cousin OF Alex
sn1er 7. Stewart. and q suit was begun by s. +.
Kneeland in his name to set aside Mr.. Stewards
,viI Afterward Alexander Stewart applied on an
.fsdavit stating that he never employed Mr.. Knee
land and being satisfied that Mr.. Stewart made bis
will with full knowledge of what he meant asked
that MIR. Kneeand be removed, and Ira Shafer be
substituted as his attorney. This motion was sup
ported by other afidavits and was very earnestly
contested by Mr.. Kueeland.
.Judpe Westbrook in his opinion, given at length
below, reviews the proceeding in the action stat
ing that it is in form partition suit that Alexan-
der Stewart now states that he never employed
Kneeland. and that his (Stewarts) name 10 not
used in good faith, but TO extort money from Mrs'
Stewart and Judge Hilton Judge Westbrook holds
that it is clearly the right of person
made a party to a suit to demand OF the
attorney proof that he authorized the use of his
name and that Kneeland fails, after all the evil
dence is examined, to answer such a demand. III
fact considering this action as what 1t really is,
an action In ejeetment the attorney, he holds mas
failed to comply with even the technical require
ments of the law which require written authority
TO bring such suit. Reviewing all the atidavlts'
Judge WestbrOok holds that the present proceeding
gives very convincing argument Tor the need OF
such rule of law. The evidence goes to show that
Alexander Stewart, while talking about his rights.
never gave such an authority and never adopted
the suit after it was brought
Judge Westbrook. in discussing the power to re-
move Mr. Kneeand. speaks at length of the right OF
the Court to protect its suitors and itself from I'M
position; of deceit practised as to Alexander
Stewards residence; of the apparent doubt as to
the Justice of the cause evinced by the letter OF
MIR. Chapman in Vermont, to Kneeland, which
shows reliance on the possibility of disagree
ment of a New-York jury, rather than on
the strength of their cause, TO force
compromise and of the offer to buy off the detective
with share of the result. He further says of some
of these methods that they were more novel and
unprofessional than ingenious. His conclusion Is
that Mr. KneelandS functions as the attorney for
MIR. Stewart, at least, must terminate.
The following is Judge WestbroOks opinion IN
full:

An Ogalalla Pow-wow.


Special to the Chicago Times.
Camp Robinson, Oct. 21.--Ameri-
can Horse, prominent chief of the
Ogalalla tribe, and several warriors ar
rayed in war costume, arrived here to-
day. After hearty greeting with Coils.
Carlton and Thornburgh, and "How-
how" to Lieut.. johnson, their former
agent, whom they love and respect, they
proceeded to business. The council
was held In the adjutant's office. Amer
lean Horse, through Joe Larvey, as in
terpreter, stated that il the government
allowed him and his party to keep
whatever they might capture from the
hostile Cheyennes now in the sand hills
he would capture them and turn them
over to the military authorities. Sew
eral of his warriors spoke, manifesting
much respect for the present kind treat
ment they are receiving at the hands of
the government, regarding the rapid
erection of buildings at the new agency
and promptness in the issue of rations.
In fact, they stated that they did not
want bad Indians to disturb their pres
ent peaceable homes. The Indians are
still here awaiting the reply, which will
probably not be definitely given for
some days

Chief Joseph's Demands.

On Tuesday, 18th inst, Mr.. Hayt,
commissioner of Indian affairs, accom-
panied by Mr.. Kingsley, of the board
of Indian commissioners, arrived at the
Quapaw agency, Indian territory. They
came with reference to the grievances
Of Chief Joseph, Of the Nez Perces In
dians. Chief Joseph and his people
have never been satisfied with their
removal to the territory, but -have
always insisted on being returned to
their old reservation, according to the
terms of their surrender to Gems. How
ard and Miles.
This condition the department could
not comply with, as there are thirty
two indictments, in civil courts there,
against Chief Joseph and his principal
men, for murders committed by them
at the beginning of their raid; there
fore the next best thing to do was to
compromise In some way satisfactory
to the Indians, for so long as they are
dissatisfied they will make no progress
in civilization. The commissioners pro-
pose that Chief Joseph accompany
them to the headwaters of the Canadi-
an, in the western part Of the Indian
territory, examine the lands there, and
If he found anything there which he
preferred to their present reservation,
the government would remove them
there. Joseph accepted the proposition
and he and his interpreter, Chapman,
went with the civil as he did with the
war department, believing that If the
department comedies to him the situa-
tion of reservation other concessions
can be made to follow, the first of
which will probably be reservation in
close proximity to the blanket Indians;
second, ponies for himself and principal
warriors. and then, with the first grass
Of the coming spring, look out for an
other raid across Kansas and Nebraska
to their old reservation.

WASHINGTON.
Capital Points.

Washington, Oct. 23.-I.ast nights
heavy gale having interrupted telegraph
communication between Washington
and most points north and west, the
time for receivingproposals for the sale
of silver to the United States for the
treasury department, has been extended
to next Friday noon, the 25th inst.
Gen. Devens has reversed his former
opinion that the national banks, in
summing up the capital subject to duty,
should be permitted to deduct the
United States bonds at their face value
only, and now decides that they may
deduct the total amount invested in
such bonds. That is to say, not only
their face value, but the premium added.
1t is said by the treasury officials that
this decision will reopen some assess.
ments made by the treasury since the
national banking act, and that large
amount of money will be required to
refund the duties erroneously collected
for banks under the previous rulings.
