Indian Agency scandal.

"McKinnon. the prisoner taken to Carson
by Sheriff Fitch, under sentence OF two
years for forgery" says the Reno Gazette,
was for a long time clerk for Indian Agent
Howe OF the Shoshone reservation. He
makes serious charges against the Agent.
Mckinnon says Howe draws rations for
about l.4O0 Indians, while he cares for less
than 400. He says he was sent ont to take
the census and enrolled about $50. Upon
reporting the result Of his lsbors to Agent
Howe he was informed that II would never
do--he must find more than that. Nc
Kinnon says that being used to the ms and
outs OF the usual method OF doing things
on the different reservations, he anticipated
Mr.. Howe's meaning, and, without going
out OF his Office. enrolled about l 200 more.
IL Is said that United States District At
torney Vsrian is investigating the matter"
This may be all true. An Indian Agents
reputation has not . high market value.
Most anything that is said to his discredit
Is believed by The public. But the word
OF q man in ransitu to the State Prison is
next TO worthless. Anybody's reputation
y TOO valuable to be hurt by the testimony
W 'orger on his way to the penitentiary.

A FUNERAL,
Which Was Not Allow ed to Inter.

According to the Detroit Free Press a
Michigander who was travelling through
Indiana last Fall with q horse and buggy
drove up to a farm house one day with his
patent washing machine and discovered
that he had happened on a funeral. Under
the circumstances he deemed il best to beat
a retreat. but while unhitching his horse
one of the men came out and inquired
Want anything, stranger2"
We'll, no.; l understand they are hold
ing a funeral here"
eyes, sort of q funeral. Got anything
to sell ?"
II have a patent washing-machine. but
the circumstance l do not feel

Never mind the circumstances"
interrupted the man. "Jim's lost
his wife. Of course, but he's got all
arrangements made to marry his
hired girl two weeks from tonight,
and II you've got anything there
you want to throw in on a boss trade
we won't let no funeral interfere with
business. It's airly in the day yet, aud we
do our burying around here any time be-
fore dark"
