DIR. McGILLIcUppY's INTERVIEW.
II Causes Considerable oomment IN the Tn
dian Office.

II Causes Considerable Comment An the Tn
dian Ofnce.
Some Of the statements made by Or. McGilli-
cuddy, formerly Indian agent st Pine Ridge.
In the course Of an interview with THE srAn
correspondent al Pine Ridge. which was pub
lished IN yesterday srAR. created considerable
comment among the officials Of the Indian
Office. They were especially interested In the
paragraph in which DIR. McGiIlicuddy ssid that
last October 5. 800 head Of Texas beef was
shipped through from Texas by rail 20 Wen
dover station. on the Cheyenne and Northern
railroad. wet OF this reserve: they were imme-
diately driven 30 and turned in a, this agency"
The reason why this statement created 50 much
interest is that il it is true the terms O, the
contract under which the beef was purchased
were entirely disregardcd.
WHAT THE CONTRACT REorrREp.
The contract specifies that the cattle for al
northern agencies must have been at least
twelve months in succession prior 10 July I,
lsaO. north Of the south line OF Kansas. The
Indian Office has report from Lieut. lettins.
ninth cavalry, C.S.A., who especially de-
tailed m accordance with Law 60 inspect the
cattle and see that the terms Of the contract
had been fully carried out and that the cattle
called for had been delivered. The Indian
office will probably request Dr McGillcudiy
70 FURNISH evidence upon which his statements
are based
SHIFTING TIE BOUNDARY LINE
The records Of the Indian Office do not hear
out other statements mad, by DIR. McGillicuddy.
For example. he SAYS that after his removal
from the service in 1856 the winteriug line was
Immediately shifted south from the thirty
seventh 70 the thirty-fourth parallel. a line
which, he SAYS, passes below Fort Worth Tex.
The records show that for wears the southern
line OF Kansas, which IL the thirty-sevenfh par
aliel, has been the ~insering line. In 1885, ths
line was shifted two degrees south 20 the thirty
fifth parallel. which L. about midway In the In
dian territory and over two degrees above Fort
Worth, Tea, which is souIh Of the thirty third
parallel
THE LINE tut RACK.
For the present year the line was changed
back by Commissioner Morgan 10 the s7th par
allel, who also required that not only the cattle
should have been wintcrcd north Of that line
but that they should have been kept north Il
the line at least twelve mouths in succession.
Tins was done, At II stated. with the express
purpose of preventing What DIR. McGllcuddy
Is reported TO have SAID has be. n done namely
the driving Of cattle from Texas 10 the north
ern agencies without having been scclimsted.
