Praise for Indian Police,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The commits
sioner OF Indian affairs has, in response
to telegram sent to Agent Roger at
Pine Ridge, inquiring as to whether
any of then Indian scouts or police had
joined the hostiles received the fol-
lowing reply from the agent:
None of your enlisted scouts have
Joined the hostiles. The police and
scouts are rendering good service and.
by their vigorous firing, prevented the
hostiles from burning the agency
buildings"
A reporter tonight called the atten-
ton of the commissioner to the reports
from Pine Ridge saying that General
Miles had recommended the removal
OF the Indian agents at Pine Ridge and
at other places and to the statement
that Indians were slowly starving to
death. The commissioner said that.
50 far rs the agents were concerned.
there was no evidence that there had
been any dishonesty on their part in
distributing supplies. The commits
sioner has submitted to the president
statement covering the question OF
the charge made that the agreements
made with the indians had not been
fulfilled.

New York, Jan. 5.-The New York
Freeman's journal publishes letter
from Father Craft the Catholic In
dian missionary, who was shot through
the lungs in the Indian fight at Wounded
Knee. The letter is dated December
10, and was mailed from Pine Ridge
agency, S. ID. Father Craft says that
from the beginning of the treaties with
the Indians they have been disap-
pointed, cheated starved, deprived of
both their own customs and those of
The whites, which they had fondly
hoped to assume with the aid of the
government and have been in every
way abused, and more than discour-
aged. In their despair, General Crook
brought them hope. Their confidence
IN this led them to hope that he would
pc able to realize their hopes. His
death was their death blow, and they
so feltit. Their fears and despair after
General Crooks death was increased
by further reduction OF rations, and
b delay even OF these.
Mr.. Lee, who took the census. made
grave mistakes, counted less than the
real numbers, and made false reports
of prosperity that did not exist. The
rations estimated for the reduced num-
bers, were not sufficient for half even
Of these. The Indians were more than
ever in abject misery, starving without
hope OF redress and without hope of
living in any way. 1t is not to be Won
dered at that they believed in Mes
siah and listened to every dreamer who
prompted hope. Interested whites
took advantage OF this state of affairs
and howled for troops. The troops
came. Interested whites again came
to the Indians and persuaded them that
the army had come TO complete their
destruction. The Indians did not fight
but ran away in fear and despair

kindness of General Crook con-
WINGED them of safety. All this Indian

KANSAS CRY, Jan. THE Asso-

Oklahoma, telegraphs about the situa-
ton among the Indians that the news
of Sitting Bulls death and the fight at

believed of the massacre of Sioux
squaws and children. has caused con-
siderable commotion among them.

them.
A friendly Iowa Indian in Guthrie

Troop X of the seventh Cavalry.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY. Jan. o.
Troop X OF the Seventh cavalry is
known us the Jonah" or Fatal"
troop OF the regiment. In all of the
Indian fights in which the Seventh has
been engaged X troop has born the
brunt OF the engagements. In the
first great fight Of the Seventh cavalry
against the Indians, the battle OF the
Washita, X troops loss was greater
Ian OF any other company. Eight
pfivates were shot down in that
fa nous charge. In the Custer massa-
ere X troop was almost annihilated,
lilly one-half OF the company dying
with Custer. The year following be-
ghn the Nez Perez or st. Joseph war.
This in many respects was the most
peculiar Indian war in all the history
OF frontier troubles. General o. o.
Howard, with several regiments at his
back, chased Chief Joseph in a zig-zag
course from Oregon to Dakota. Unable
I'd corner his willy foe General Howard
sd wired headquarters. General Miles
and the Seventh cavalry were then
sent againsc Chief Joseph.
The morning of September 80, 1877,
General Miles with troops A and X OF
the Seventh, was in advance of the
main column under General Sturgis.
AS the little troop rode up a knoll in
the prairie the advance scouts reported
the camp of Chief Joseph in front.
General Miles ordered charge, the
cavalry being supported by the Fifth
infantry. AS they rode into the fight
Captain Owen Hale, commander OF
troop X, turned to his companions and
Remarked: Boys, this is too pretty a
morning to die, and it goes hard to be
k lied so early in the day, but am
sure to go under.n Thirty minutes
later Captain Hale and Lieutenant Bid
d Q of the same troop fell at the head
OF their men. Eighteen or twenty pri-
Yates of X troop went down in that
charge.
The command OF troop X then fell
to Captain +. &. Mathey. Fortunately
for him, perhaps there have been no
Indian wars from 1887 to the present
in which the Seventh was engaged
October Of this year Captain Mathey
was assigned to duty at 10 South Clark
street Chicago and Captain George
y. Wallace placed in command OF the
company. His death with seven of
his men bears out the fatality that
seems to cling to troop X. What adds
q peculiar sadness to the killing of
Captain Wallace is that Mrs. Wallace,
who has been an invalid for many
years, is now dangerously i'll at Fort
Riley, Kan, md herr friends in Chica-

The unregenertae Sioux, Directing
to the burial of their dead by their
pale-faced foe opened fire, and after
desperate and sharp firing of the
Hotchkiss guns, were forced to re-
turn to the protection of the friendly
ravines.

PINE RIDGE, S. D., Jan. 5.-Yes-

who had charge of the Seventh regi-

disarming was made, was relieved of
his command by instructions from
Washington pending an investigation.
1t was told about the agency that he
was also under arrest but this is I'M
true.

burial party at the battle field, sue

On the battle field Major Whiteside
said that the whole affair was merely
an accident and from personal obser-

fault. Nobody dreamed OF trouble,
and the squaws were merrily pelting
the searching soldiers with bundles of
