MELyILLE's TESTIMONY CLOSED
this afternoon, and the board adjourned
until Monday. Melville, in his testimony
to-day, said the course of the officers toward
Collins was the same as to others, SO far as
he would permit, but that on certain occa.
sions he took offense at remarks made, and
refused to converse with or speak to officers.
He said in reply to questions that Danen-
hover was present on one occasion when
a difficulty occurred between DeLong and
Collins. Probably Danenhower will be
called to testify on this point. Melville, in
closing, paid a high tribute to DeLong,
speaking of him as competent officer and
a man Of excellent qualities.
THE TRIAL OF WILLIAM DICKSON,
for attempting to influence the Jury in the
star-route case, is fixed for next Tuesday.
INTERESTING DECISION.
NfnL of hn al
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 kaoline, or fire clay. The pro-
testants claimed that the land was not sub
iect to sale as 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 'EM.
The Indian office is in receipt of a
report from Agent Wilcox, of the
San Carlos agency, giving a de-
tailed account of the system OF counting
Indians every day. He says the system
was inaugurated on October Sth, and the
highest number reached was 1926. Each
Indian is marked with tag and number
aud the Indians name placed in register
kept for that purpose. One of the good re-
suits derived from tagging Indians is to
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 distillation OF
whisky has decreased.
THE WAR DEPARTMENT
has, at the request of Agent Armstrong
at the Crow Indian reservation. placed a
sufficient force around the reservation to
prevent raids of the Piegans, who have, the
agent states, robbed the Crows OF horses TO
the amount of $4,000 Thee depredations
have had the effect of lessening the agents
influence with the Indians, and he doubts
if he can accomplish as much good next
season as he has effected during the past
wear. He further expresses the opinion
that the Crows will leave their reservation
the latter part of November, when annlu-
ties are paid them
TREASURY NOTES.
The treasury department to-day pur-
chased 455, 900 ounces offine silver for coin
