porting as long as the Government gives
them the sem blance of support; neither
can they begin to accumulate property as
long as the supply of the necessaries of

Opment complained of by Captain Ray is
the domination OF the chiefs, who are
allowed to dictate to the agents as to the
issue of annuities and affairs of the agency.
The removal of troublesome chiefs is rec
commended. The Shoshones are regarded
as communists and are loath Co take up any
untried pursuit. Their agentrecommends
that the ration issue. except o the indigen,
and helpless, be gradually discontinued.
and the money now used for rations be de-
voted to payment for Indian labor.

ARRESTED ON SUSPICION.
Because He Correspondent With the
Image in Mrs. Clinton's Eve.

JAMESTOWN. n. Y. Dec 26.-The arrest
of George w. Depew on suspicion of being
the murderer Of Mrs. Wnslow Shearman
and her daughter, Mrs. Clinton. has caused
great excitement here. One or two per-
sons who saw him say that his appear
ance corresponds with the description
of the Image of the man seen in Mrs.
Shearman's eve, as if standing in a stoop-
ing position.
The discussion over the possibility of
identifying the murderer by an image
left on the retina of the eye has been re-
vived with interest here. 1t is said the
image was blurred by the removal of the
eye from the socket Those removing it
remember the image so well, they say,
they could Identify the man from the gem
eral outline. Before the removal of the
eve the image was sharply defined. Eve
the wrinkles in the clothes were plainly
seen by aid of the microscope.
