Nmi Indians, of New Mexico, of their
land, beg to say that ] am familiar
with the facts and circumstances,
rom a thorough investigation OF
the subject made at the request of
tue Secretary of the Interior, and
take pleasure In stating that the allega-
lions thus made are grossly unjust to
YOU as well as MajorTucker and his as
Sociates, and wholly without founda-
ton" The last letter of the series is
rom Secretary Teller to Gen. Logan. In
it he says: "There is not the
slightest evidence chat any
wrong was intended or done
by parties to entries or any
law violated. The land was public land
at the time these entries were made, and
MS such was open to entry by the public.
The gentlemen who made the entries
were qualified to enter on such lands
and had perfect right to do so, and
they neither violated the law nor the
rights of any parties whatever in so
doing. asked the Executive
order extending the reservation without
understanding all the facts at the time.
1t gives me pleasure to make this state
ment in view of the allegations to con
trary which have been made"
."When Major Tucker and his associ-
ates were attacked through newspapers. -
said Gen. Logan, "and charged with in
terfering with the rights of Indians, and
doing great wrong, | defended them
in a letter through the public press
and otherwise as having violated no law
and having committed no frauds ON
the Indians. In that defense asked the
question that if soldiers like Cant. Law
| ton could not locate homestead or pre-
emption, or whatever the location was,
within the distance he had to the Indian
reservation, to tell me how many
miles soldier would have to
20 away from reservation in
order to comply with the law. This |
| did in their behalf | now stand by
what ] did then. If this be crime or
! fraud, my enemies can make the most of
| 1t. These men are all honorable men.
| Capt. LawtOn was Il gallant soldier;
served all through the war with
| great credit and honor to his
country. MaiOr Tucker is nv son-in-law
He is a gentleman and man who won d
not wrong any one. | presume tie
wrong in me is that Major Tucker is pal [
Of my family, and although he is inno-
cent of any wrong in the premises, Il
haseless excuse was made to aSSail me
t rough him. If their object was
TO draw me into his defense they have
succeeded, and when any one thinks |
| have not manhood enough to defend
openly, my relative or friend when
wrongfully assailed, he mistakes me,
This is q false, unprovoked and ma.
licious SANDER, which place on record
