CAMP ROLLINS, via Fort Washable. Wyo.
T., Aug. 10.-Aftsr the Indian dance yes
terday at our camp, near Fort Washakie,
Capt. Hayes, commanding Troop G Of
the Fifth Cavalry, gave the President an
exhibition drill, the commands being
given by trumpets. The drill included
the ordinary by troops Skin
mishing both on horseback and on foot,
and ended with q charge. just after this
about $50 mounted Indians, Shoshones
and Arapahoes, gave . sham battle, with
the maneuvers executed by them in actual
warfare. Their horsemanship was su-
perb, nearly every one riding bareback.
Senator Vest, member Of the Senate Com
| mittee, had an interview with Waskakie
| Of the Shoshones, and Black Coat of the
| Arapahoes, about 5 o'clock, there being
| present Q large body Of Indians from
both tribes. The Senator's inquiries were
| directed principally as to whether the In
| dams would accept tenure in severalty,
instead OF tenure in common, as now held
by them. The Senator urged them to
take their lands, 100 acres to each head OF
| the family, and 80 acres each to unmar-
| ried Indians. They have $50, 900 acres In
| this reservation, and about !, 900 Indians,
| both tribes included. and the tenure in
severalty, and $3.50, 600 in interest upon
the bonds Of these lands sold to the Gov
eminent. All the chiefs seemed against
tenure in severalty. They we're very anx-
ious to have permission to trade with the
post trader at the fort, which is the only
| other store permitted on the reservation.
except the Indian trading store. stating
that they could only receive 81 for 3 buff
falo robe at the agency store, whereas at
the military store they were offered $40
for each one.
At 7 O'Clock this morning the President
and party broke camp and started on
horseback with an escort and pack mules.
following the crossing Of Little Wind
eight miles for five minutes rest, then
passing through the rough and broken
country with no water a distance Of nine
miles, stopping a short time on top Of the
Divide, giving us a fine view Of Grow
Heart Batte and the Bull Wind Rivers and
Shoshone Mountains. From this point
we passed over q very rocky country,
climbing and descending alternately high
and stony hills until we reached this camp,
which is situated on the Bull Lake Fork Of
Wind River. The distance from camp
this morning is 81 miles. The party are
all we'll and enjoyed the ride greatly. The
President proves to be . good horseman,
and came into camp like an old cam
paigner. Immediately after our arrival,
which is on . beautiful trout stream. the
President took his rod and soon caught
the first trout. keeping up his old reputa-
ton Of being . fine fisherman. He enjoys
camp life very much; is up and out Of his
tent ct 8 o'clock each morning, the first
one, and with q flannel shirt and q large
hat enjoys himself with the rest. Senator
Rollins distinguished himself in horse
msnship on this march Of 81 miles, and in
compliment to him Gen. Sheridan named
our first camp Rollins. which honor was
thoroughly approved Of by the whole
party, who think the surrogate, in time,
by application OF q brake and steady
riding, will make . capital cowboy.
