DAWES COMMISSION.
Not Believed that It Intends to Give Up
Hardest Thing to Surrender

WAsHINGToN, ID. c., Nov. 17.-No
information has reached here official
ly, in regard TO the statement in thts
mornings press dispatches that the
Dawes Indian Commission has come
to the end of its work in the Indian
Territory and has concluded TO re-
port its failure to congress. In fact
such information is seriously doubted.
The Dawes Commission is not likely
to be easily disheartened. Ii has had
no encouragement from the very be-
ginning of its work. II is composed
mainly of ex-members of congress,
who are not able to continue in the
employ of the people as Legislators
and who were undoubtedly very glad
TO obtain a continuation of their So
600 salary as mediators between the
government and the Indian tribes.
These gentlemen have not had much
work to do, being in the Indian Ter
ritory only about five months out Of
the year.
There is no limit fixed to their
work there, and in fact it has gener-
ally been supposed that they were
sent as much to cultivate a civilized
sentiment among the Indians as to
bring about any immediate treaty for
the sale of Indian lands TO the gov
ernment. Therefore, while il is per-
haps true that several more of the
Indian tribes have impolitely and
positively refused TO hold official
communication with the Dawes COM
mission, it is very improbable that
these gentleman will soon relinquish
their pleasant employment, and that
they will do other than to come to
congress with a report of their mis-
fortunes SO far, but with hopeful sug-
gestions for the future.

Deputy Reynolds showed up this
morning having in custody two pris-
oners, supposed TO be participants in
the Glenn robbery and bold up Of
last Thursday night.
An examining trial was held this
afternoon before Commi ssioner Glib
bons, when a voluminous amount Of
evidence was introduced, the most Of
which was very convicting in its ma
turc 10 nj least one of the defend
ants. II also introduced the names
OF two more participants in the affair
whose arrest Is sure TO follow.
In summing up, Judge Gibbons said
that affairs of this nature were be-
coming altogether too common, II
being a matter of almost daily record
and that he for one would do his duty
in try TO stop such \ practice.
The defendants were VIII Emer-
son and Walter Price, aged n and
p years. Price was placed under
bona OF $1,000, but a decision in the
case Of Emerson was for the present
reserved.
