LO, the Poor Indian Agent!

Fort THOMPSON, D. T., July 15.-Some gi-
gantic frauds are being unearthed by Com
missioner Hayt among the various Indian
Agencies. A ring among the agents has
been disclosed, which stole everything it
handled, and the members of which grew
rich at the expense of the Government and
the outraged Indians. Dr. Livingston, of
Crow Creek, is charged with startling crimes
in this connection.
New York, July ia special from
Grow Creek Agency, D. T., says Gen. Ham
mond's investigation of the Indian service
shows that some of the Indian Agents built
store houses at Crow Creek with Govern
ment money, and supplied them regularly
with beef, potatoes, milk, grain and hay
from the Government, taking receipts
of the house as a matter of course. The
Agency blacksmithshop was turned into q
private farfiery for the profit of the ring.
The agents and traders being secretly in
partnership, the former took care the latter
should be supplied with Government goods
instead of having to buy them and trans
port them at his own expense, and the cat
tie ranches belonging to agents and traders
were stocked with stolen cattle and sup
piled regularly with the Agency
stores. 1t is shown from the
evidence that while the Indians, who ought
to have been we'll fed by the Agency, were
feeding on bullberries and coffee made from
wild cherry bark, the stock hogs belonging
to the Agency and drovers were fattening
ON good forage and corn. The cost
of running the Crow Creek Agency has been
very heavy, and investigation shows nearly
every one in the smplo. ment Of the agent

For Opening Letters and Abstractins
Money.

Ira c. Fulton, Postmaster of Lotta, Meigs
County, Ohio, was arrested yesterday by
Special Agent Henry and brought to thx
city last evening on a charge OF having
opened several letters and abstracting from

1t seems that several parties had, for soma
time previous to the arrest, a suspicion that
the postmaster referred to above, was nua
doing things as they ought to have beca
done.
When number of the residents of lDtia
were informed in various ways that ticir
mail somehow or other was missing, they
concluded 10 investigate the case, and there
fore notified the authorities as to how mat
ters were being carried OH at that place
Detectives were engaged, but for some
time after the alleged crooked transactions
nothing wrong was discovered in the doinss
of Postmaster Fulton.
The citizens, however, were not satisfied,
and finally it was resolved that decoy tet-
ter should be mailed. In fact several VI
them were mailed.
The matter was then given into the hands
of special agent Henry, who Immediately
afterwards brought his game to bay
Fulton, IL is alleged, opened some of the
marked letters, containing money, sent BY
the detective, and thereupon was arrested
He was brought to this city and arragned
before the District Attorney and United
States Commissioner Henry Hooper.
Mr. Fulton on an examination before tiae
latter official acknowledged his guilt, waived
an examination, and was placed under 81 500
bond, in default of which he was sent 10
jail
1t is not yet known how much money
has been taken.

train with troops from Montreal at ST..
Henry, where was Lacrosse match, and
among the crowd were many of the same
kind and class which crowded the streets of
Montreal on the 10Th, the moment they
caught sight of the red coats of the volun-
teers they commenced to taunt them with
having come to Montreal to protect the
Protestants and beaten under their noses
The men stood this for time, and finally
one of the volunteers in the rear car of the
train pulled out an Orange handkerchief
and waved it at the crowd. Immediately
the cars were stoned, the windows broken
in, and one man fired pistol from the car.
Immediately rifles were leveled from the
windows and about fifty shots fired. The
mob took to their heels in an instant.
A perfect stampede occurred in which
children and women were knocked down
and tramped upon, several of them being
badly bruised. The officers were among
the men in an instant, and soon stopped the
firing, which had commenced without Or
ders from any one. When the smoke had
cleared away it was discovered that J. B.

Corn and wheat take the place of "the
