The trouble over at the Sisset,

The trouble over at the Sisseton
Agency between Agent johnson
and the Indians does not appear to
have ended. Reports from there
indicate hat the relations between
them are strained even further than
before the visit of Special Agent
Mcconnell, who was sent out by the
interior department to investigate
the affair. A big council of the
Indians has just been held, at which
: petition was prepared praying for
the removal of the agent. Without
taking any side in the controversy,
we believe that it would lie good
policy TO transfer Mr.. Johnson to
another agency. He may be in the
right all the way through, and may
be thoroughly capable in every way,
but he has started out wrong in his
dealings with these people and as
long as he remains there will be
dissatisfaction and friction. His
transfer could be effected without
casting any reflections on his honor
or ability, and it would be better all
around, better for the Indians, for
Nr. Johnson, and for the party that
sponsor TO his appointment.
