tion claims, and what will be the probable
outcome. Other questions on the same
subject are asked, and knowing the wide
circulation of your paper we have though t
1t advisable to write you for publication q
letter which will give much of the Informal
ton called for by these letters of inquiry.
There are over six thousand claims of
citizens of the United States against the
Indians for losses growing out of Indian
depredations. A large number of the
claimants are citizens of Texas.
The law Of March 3, 1891, gave the court
of claims jurisdiction over these claims.
This court sits in the city Of Washington,
where all these claims will be tried under
the law and the rules and regulations of
the court of claims.
Most of the claims which have been here
tofore fled with the commissioner of In
dian affairs have been transferred to the
court of claims by petition of the claim
ants, the facts stated in the petition having
been verified under oath either b. the
claimants or their attorneys of record.
No claim has yet been tried before the
court. The court adjourned late in June
for the summer vacation and will not meet
until October.
1.-THE appointment of an assistant attorney
general, provided FOR By the act Of March 3,
1891. has been made. The appointee, Hon
L. ". Colby Of Nebraska is familiar with
the many Indian raids and the consequent
losses and misfortunes of the men OF the
border states.
There are three classes OF claims now
being doclIeted by the clerk of the court
under the instructions of the attorney-gen-
eral viz:
l. Those cases where finding has been
had by the department aud favorable rec
concentration made TO congress.
2. Those cases where finding has been
made by special agents of the department,
and favorable recommendation made by
him, but on which there has been no final
action by the department.
= Those cases wnere no action has been
taken looking TO an investigation of the
claims by the department
With this third class will be docketed
claims which have been investigated by the
department, together with those where an
unfavordble report was made to congress.

DIED.

Nellie, wife of w. R. Caswell, died
at her late home in this place last Sat-
urday morning. As Mrs. Caswell had
been confirmed invalid for more than
a year past,and has been rapidly grow
ing weaker since her return from Mich
igan last fall, her friends and the pub
lie we're not wholly unprepared for the
inevitable. The disease was consump-
ton. Mrs. Caswell was the oldest
daughter of w. G. Cook, of Kintire
and passed her childhood in Redwood
Falls, until the removal of her parents
to the farm. After making a good rec
ord in our public schools as pupil,
she taught in various school districts
of the county, and for a year or two
before her marriage was teacher in
our village schools. In her capacity
as teacher, as we'll as in social circles,
Mrs. Caswell made friends everywhere
by her cheerfulness and natural kind
ness of heart. The death of her only
child, less than year ago, was a blow
from which she never rallied, weakened
as she was at that time by sickness.
Mrs. Casweu was in her 28th year.
The funeral last Sunday afternoon
was held from Mr.. Caswelps house, the
service being conducted by Rev. S. B.
Purves according to the beautiful and
impressive ritual of the Episcopal
church. The house was crowded with
sorrowing friends.

A misleading dispatch from Red

A misleading dispatch from led
wood Falls to a Minneapolis paper, al
leging that the schools at this place
had been closed on account of diph-
liberia, has provoked criticism that
was both deserved and undeseryed.
The correspondent catches it for being
oyer anxious to get sensational spe-
cial over the wires, and we notice that
the Lamberton Leader takes the au-
thorities and local papers to task for
not advertising the epidemic. The
main objection to advertising an cpl
demic is that no disease has taken an
epidemic form here. Two children in
the lower grades of our schools were
taken with light form of diphtheria
some weeks ago, and the school board
deemed it their duty to ascertain
whether others of the pupils had been
infected. In accordance with an es-
tablis he'd custom the board closed two
rooms to prevent possible spread of
the infection. No new cases developed
in the school, but there was one fatal
case in the village Thanksgiving week,
which the Gazette duly noted. This
is all there is to it. The schools have
been running as usual with the excep-
ton of the two rooms as above noted,
and the board of health has been care
fully guarding against any develop
ment of either diphtheria or scarlet
favor
