Full rexi Of corisii's Investigating ResoIu.
tioa-whyf Ne was Prompted to
0Her n.

A few days ago THE LEADER men,
toned the fact Of our Delegate in Con-
gress having offered a resolution in the
House calling for an investigation into
the cause or causes of the late General
| Clusters defeat at the battle of the
Little Big Horn. Mr.. Corlett was
prompted to this course by the state
mentr presented in u letter written to
him by Mr. Frederick Whitaker. the
biographer of General Custer, in which
Whitaker states that he has good rea-
son to believing that the conduct of
Major Reno was Of such a character as
to lead to the belief that cowardice can
be t%ruthfully charged against him; that
the only official report Of the battle in
which General Custer and his command
lost their lives, Is the one written by
Major Reno, which Mr.. Whitaker
stigmatizes as false and libellous to the
memory Of Custer. Mr.. Whitaker
cites, as his witnesses to support these
charges, all of the surviving officers of
the Seventh cavalry and others. The
following is the resolution:
Resolved. That the Committee on
Military Affairs of this House be and
is hereby instructed to inquire into the
conduct Of the United States troops
engaged in the battle of the Little Big
Horn, fought on the 18th day Of June,
A. d.. 1876, and otherwise known as
the "Custer Massacre in which Lieu
tenant Colonel Custer of the Seventh
regiment Of United States cavalry, per-
ished with five companies of said regi-
ment, ut the hands Of the Indians; and
also to inquire into the conduct of any
other OF the United States military
commands or forces cooperating with
or supporting the command of said
Lieutenant Colonel Custer at and i'm
mediately preceding the time of said
engagement, and TO ascertain and re-
port to this House what person or per-
sons were in any respect responsible
for this disaster of said engagement;
and said committee is authorized to
send for persons and papers and may
report by bill or otherwise.

A Warning.

l consider it my duty to warn the
public against a polished young scamp
and dead-beat, by the name of Harry
Rollins, of Denver, Colorado. He
obtained by plausible lies and false pre-
fences, a sum Of money from me, and
forged my name TO a bogus check on
Stebbins & Posts bank for the sum of
1925, and skipped the town. The Off
GERS of the law should look after him.
1t seems that all the impecunious
scoundrels and dead-beats who come
from Denver to Cheyenne, regard me
as their lawful prey. Hereafter l want
them to keep away from me, as 1 have
been robbed and defrauded by them
ever since I have been in Cheyenne.
I keep barber shop and not a bank
