Secretary Noble to-day regarding the
appointment of commissioners to carry
out the provisions of the Sioux reserva-
ton bill. The secretary expressed a
desire to have immediate action taken
in the matter. The commission will

Indian Defense and Indian Rights asso

being represented. John II. King will
be backed by Mr.. Mathews; Mr.. Kent,

Father George A. Willard, former
vicar general of the Catholic dio-
cese of Dakota, the Indian Rights
association. EX-Agent McGillicuddy,
of Pine Ridge agency, has been mem
toned as one of the commissioners, but
is opposed by the Indian Rights associ-
alton. AS the bill appropriates $4,000
to reimburse Red Cloud for ponies lost

South Dakota, who served through the
war with Gems. Mobiles ard Bussey, and
is on intimate terms with both, is here,
expressing his admiration for those
gentlemen, and causing much comment
