Indian Claims.

Capt c. F. Larrabee of this city, repre-
senting the Department of the Interior, has
been appointed one of the commission to in
vestigate the claims of licensed traders, citi-
zens of the United States, against the gov
ernment for supplies furnished to the Sioux
or Dakota Indians in Minnesota, subsequent
to June !, 1861, and prior to the famous mas
sacre committed by said Indians in August,
1862. These supplies were furnished to the
Indians by the traders from their own stores
at the request of the Indian agents in the
hopes of paeifying the Indians, who were in
an ugly mood and preventing an outbreak,
which was, however, only postponed for
about a year. These stores the traderslnow
want to be paid for, and Congress, at its last
session appropriated 100000 to investigate
the matter and determine their validity. The
commission is now in session in the United
States district judges room in the govern
ment building at st. Paul, Mimi, and will
probably sit for several days.
