| fled with the treatment received from the

says he will now go to SJew York and ven
tilate the matter through the press, He
intimates he will soon publish damaging
afiidavits rejecting on the conduct of the
officers in charge of the expedition.

refused to converse with or speak to officers

INTERESTING DECISION.
Commissioner Mcfarland, of the general
land office, has decided the case of the
DObbs placer claims, in Huntsville, Ala
bama, where the land was alleged to contain
a deposit of kuoline, or fire clay. The pro-
testants claimed that the land was not sub
ieCt to sale rs placer land, because the de-
post lies in the form of strata between
two well.defined walls of rock. The com
missioner holds that this is immaterial,
CouNTING EN-.
The Indian office Is in receipt Of n
report from Agent Wilcox of the
San Carlos agency, giving de-
tailed account OF the system OF counting
Indians every day. lie says the system
was inaugurated on October Sth and the
highest number reached was l l,23G. Each
Indian Is marked with u tar and number,
and the Indians name placed in a register
kept for that purpose, One of the good re-
suits derived from tagging Indians is ia
know which Indians are engaged in raids
or leave the reservations. Attention is also
called TO the fact that since the chiefs of
tribes have been responsible for the action
OF its members, that the distilation OF
whisky has decreased.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT
has, at the request of Agent Armstrong
at the Crow Indian reservation. placed q
sufficient force around the reservation to
prevent raids of the Piegans, who have, the
agent states, robbed the Crows of horses Ia
the amount of $4,000. These depredations
have had the effect of lessoning the agent ;.
influence with the Indians and he doubts
II he can accomplish as much good next
season as he has elected during the past
year. He further expresses the opinion
, that the Crows will leave their reservation
the latter part of November, when anniu.
ties are paid them.
