ment made by these Indians, reported in
substance as follows 1.-The Indians have
| no desire to become farmers or try to be-
! come self-supporting as long as the Gov
eminent supports them in idleness, and
| they receive cash payments from leased
| lands"
| The Dog Soldiers prevent those inclined
to work from working. and consider them
/ selves masters of the situation, and have
defied the agent and military at Fort Reno.

the situation, and should he push these
people in the matter of farming he will
meet with resistance from the Dog Soldiers,
and in such case the military force at Fort
Reno is entirely too small, numbering only
26S soldiers. 1t should be increased to ten
companies. The Indians number; Ara
pahoes, 2,169; Cheyenne, 3,769; children
at school in the States $40 Total, 6,371.

adults over Is number from 300 to ], 400.

| Indians say they will not send any more
children TO school until they have a talk
with the Great Father in Washington.
