AGENT ORDERED TO GET OUT
Indians on the Rosebud Agency Make
Threatening Demands.
WERE REFUSED A COUNCIL AND ARE MAD
Other Reasons for Dissntisfn ton
Major Wright and All His White
Employees Allowed Twenty
, Days to Go. al

VALENTINE Neb., Sept. 7.-(Special Tel
egram.)-Reports from Rosebud agency are
that Major Wright, United States Indian
agent, together with his white employees,
has been ordered from the reservation, the
conditions being that they will be allowed
twenty days in which to go without moesta-
tion.
1t appears that Chief Crow Dog who killed
Spotted Tail in 1881, took with him lot
of young men and left the reservation in
July without asking the agents permission.
On his return few days ago Major Wright
had him confined.
This melted the Indians and a council with
the agent was demanded, looking to his re-
lease. The council was refused and Hollow
Horn Bear, speaking for the malcontents, de-
manded that the agent quit the reservation.
Another source OF discomfort is that the
allowance for freighting from here to Rose
bud has been cut from so to 35 cents, which
freightlng is done wholly by the Indians.
They are dissatisfied also with the manner In
which the alloting has baen done, In alot-
ing their lands in severalty; also in the dila-
tory manner in which the Indian department
Is carrying out some Of the stipulations Of
the last treaty. whereby it was to furnish
them with work, cattle, horses, etc.
The agent, of course, Is shouldered with
the whole blame in the eyes OF the Indians,
although he may not be in the least to
blame in reality Major Wright telephones
that he does not apprehend any effort will
be made on the part of the Indians to carry
out their threats.

an object for the management of the fair
of this county to display its fruit at the
Omaha fair. There were seventeen varieties
of corn that could not be beat anywhere,
and such broom corn, seventeen feet high.

the attendance was not so large as on most
former years. There was very little ma
chinery on exhibition. There were very
many pretty things in the art hall, but what
seemed to attract the attention of most of
tho young people was a young lady in
