and the Indians there are very poor"
CROW DOCS COMPLAINTS.
Crow Dog grunted concurrence and then said:
1--WE used to have plows and wagons and har-
ness and many things to work with, but bad
Indians talked to the agent and he took these
things away from us older men and gave them
to his friends. While We had these things we
did our best to work. Twice in every three
years our crops would almost surely fail. Our
rations are given us every week, but there is
not enough for more than two and half da vs..
Then we are very hungry. Our rations have
been far too small for nine years. Before that
time there was enough all the year. Now there
is no game in the hills, so we are very poor in
deed. What little beef We get is not always
good. Some Of the steers are too young some
are very old and tough. We have been given
many of those bi2-jawed steers to eat and some
old bulls. White people would not have these
but anything was good enough for the Indian.
At Rosebud we have twelve school houses and
many children, although they do not get
enough to eat. We would rather have not SO
many schools and more good beef. Better
have satisfied stomach and know little of
school learning than to starye half the time and
be very wise. 1 have often told the superin-
tendens of the schools that the children should
be given clothes to keep them warm and plenty
to eat, but it was not done. Indians cannot
learn to be happy and good when they are very
cold and very hungry. Many children left the
schools because there was more liberty and
almost as much to eat in the tepees.
Now, about our farming. We were given
two work cattle. one cow,one mare, q pillow. q
wagon and other things. The agency farmers
often take them away and give them to their
friends-Indians who try to make trouble and
talk much-not because we did not care prop
eriy for the things, but because We were not
liked by the farmers Sometimes the mare or
one of the oxen would get hurt by no fault of
the man. but the agent would put the man 10
the guard house. We do not Ike that; white
men are not done with that way. We have
tried to complain Of these things 20 the agent,
but he viii not hear US; his policemen keep u
out of the agency. That and all these other
things made NJ leave Rosebud and como here 10

There is a certain quality in

worst possible extravaganza to
go.
Our Indias are for those who
want a good Silk, a pretty Silk

also remarks that when fash OF light
