REPORT FROM AGENT BRENNAN.
Indians at Pine Ridge Agency Told OF
Trouble With Wyoming officials.

Commissioner Jones of the Indian bureau
received dispatch this morning from
Agent Brennan of the Pine Ridge agency
which contained the information that all
the chiefs of the tribes on the reservation
had been called together and told OF inc
arrest Of the Indians by the Wyoming ON
Gals. He said he had informed the chie1s
that every care would be taken of the In
dams by the civil authorities, and spoke
hopefully of their speedy release
This step was taken to reassure the In
dams, who may have heard exaggerated
reports of the trouble in wyoming.
Several days ago the acting secretary or
war called upon General Kobbe, command
ing the Department Of Dakota, for report
regarding the alleged Indian troubles in
Wyoming. In response General kobbe to-
day forwarded to the War Department
copy of dispatch from Major B. n. Cheev-
err 9Th Cavalry, at Pine Ridge. as follows:
Agent Brennan just returned from New
castle. Wyo., where he made a full fnvesti-
cation of the fight between Indians ana
sherf's posse. He reports Sheriff Williams
of Newcastle and deputy sheriff killed by
Indians. Five Indians killed; about hve
wounded, one being Il woman. Ten DUCKS
held in arrest at Newcastle, wounded at
Lusk. Rest of party en- route to reserva-
ton.
'Twenty-one bucks and their families
given passes about October for twenty
days. Sheriff went To arrest them for vio-
lation OF state game laws. Served warrant
on Charles Smith, who was Carlisle grad
uate. and in charge of Indian party. and
also considered frst-clasS man on the res
ervation. Declined to surrender. Said lie
would go back to agency. and started back.
Was wayfaid or intercepted by sheriff s
party next day while heading for reserva-
ton. Some excitement in Newcastle and
there. Indians quiet. No trouble possible
from Indians on their reservation. Mostly
sherif's fault. Good judgment on his part
would have avoided trouble. Only one
fight. Newspaper reports exaggerated.
Agent capable of handling Indians In my
Judgment Indian prisoners at Newcastle
should be released. Conflicting statements
as to who fired the first shot. Believed
sheriR's party did This information from
Agent Brennan. No way of hearing other
side here"
1t is said at the War Department that
there is nothing in the situation requiring
the services of United States troops.

Mr.. Cleveland Endorsed Him.

1t has developed that the appointment sew
eral months ago of State Senator McClel-
land of West Chester county New York, as
a member Of the board of general apprais-
ers. was made largely upon the reeommen-
dation of ex-President Cleveland The res
ignation of Senator McClelland made a va
caEcy in the state senate. which was filled
last Tuesday by the election of a republi
can causing considerable comment. One
claim was that the appointment was made
at the request of Senator Platt, and was
done to enable him to get better clutch
on the New York machine.
The following letter of ex-President
Cleveland is on file at the White House:
PRINCETON. June %. 1905.
MY Dear Mr.. President: Just as / am
starting for Gray Gables, l am told by my
old friend, Senator Charles F. McClelland
of Westminster county, N Y, that he will
make an application TO be appointed on the
board of general appraisers.
Mr. McClelland is now a member of the
senate of New York. l have known him a
great many years; and shall depart from
a rule l have laid down sufficiently to say
to you that cannot believe that any mis-
take would be make IL Mr.. McCleland
were appointed. He is Scotchman. and
the stubbornness of his race runs toward
honesty. He is first-rate lawyer. and
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1903-11-07

his practice has been quite little In
customs cases. And so far as he is q
politician he has not been accustomed to
follow party leadership unless his notions
of right led him in the same direction
| should be very much surprised IL We're
to find l have made a wrong diagnosis in
this case though I ought to add that l
have known less of Mr.. McClelland during
the last few years than before. Your ODE
dent servant,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
