Tribal Payments-Indians Want
More Cash Instead OF Clothing
and Provisions.

Washington. May -. Red Cloud,
Clarence, Three Stars and two other
Sioux Indians from the Pine Ridge
reservation in South Dakota, have
been in Washington for two weeks
looking after matters Of interest to
their tribes. They have left feeling
satisfied that they have accomplished
part of, If not all, what they de-
sired. They wanted to secure infOrma-
ton as to their claims and We're sup
piled with what the Indian Office pos
ScsSed. Several matters were left un-
settled but will be investigated at
once. The Indians claim they have Il
right to a portion of the Black Hills
country. and say this land was not
finally coded 10 the government. This
is an important contention and will re-
quire careful consideration. The In
diaDs also want the question of the
southern boundary Of the Pine Ridge
reservation looked up and this will be
done. They claim some mistakes have
been made in their tribal payments.
The Indian office found on inveStiga-
ton that the South Dakota Sioux have
