Indian Reservation Troubles.

FENDER, Neb., July 81. - Captain
Beck and the congressional delega-
ton had a stirring session yesterday
morning and violence was imminent
for several minutes at the Winnebago
agency. He offended the entire Ne
braska congressional delegation in his
office and would have ordered the SEN
ators and congressman from the room
had it not been for Senator Allen. The
proceedings began when Senator
Allen stated that the two senators and
three representatives of the congress
sional delegation of Nebraska had
come for the purpose of informing
themselves as to the condition of
affairs. In reply to this Captain Beck
made a short statement. He stated
that the F%lournoy company had sys-
tematically robbed the Indians and
that it was a corrupt concern general
ly. Captain Beck said the members of
the Flournoy company and every one
of its friends and spmpathizers were
infamous liars and scoundrels. just
as the captain finished, John +.
Meyers. the treasurer of the company,
entered the Office.
"You are not telling the truth and
you know it." he said.
If a giant frecracker had been ex-
ploded under the captains feet he
could not have been more excited.

You have been arrested by the United
States marshal and ought to be in Jail.

fore l have you thrown out"
An exciting scene ensued. Senator
Thurston remarked: Il wish to know
whether or not this convention, repre-
senting a majority of the members of
the Nebraska congressional delega-
ton, is to proceed without a repetition
of such scenes as the one we have just
seen enacted. We are amply able to
preserve order without the interfer-
ence or assistance on the part of any
one. If this delegation is here without
right-the right of American citizens
to know how their w affairs are be-
ing conducted, l, for one, am ready to
retire at once"
captain Beck jumped to hls Feet ana
excitedly exclaimed that he did not

tion. t
"Sit down" Senator Allen spoke
the words. The captain sat down.
The investigation proceeded without
further trouble. Captain Beck sub
mitted letters and kilograms to show
that he had the approval of the in
terror department in everything he
did.
The sentiment of the Nebraska con
gressional delegation, Investigating
the Flournoy leases of Winnebago
lands came in the shape of the follow
ing telegram to Hon. Uoke Smith:
'Investigation now in progress leads
us to urge you to suspend approval of
leases of Winnebago lands, made by
Captain Beck, and to promptly sus-
pend further evictions until we COM
municate with you further. Evictions
will result in TREMENDOUS loss of crops
to innocent settlers"
The telegram was signed by all the
delegation and will be followed by a
letter detailing the entire situation.
