What l did before the land office in connection with these twelve entries as l heretofore stated, I was not offered, neither did I receive. at any time, either $2000 or any other amount of money or any other thing of value from s. A. D.. Puter or any other person.
 T further state that not until two years after the consideration of these cases in the land office as above mem toned had I any knowledge or informa- ton to the effect that there was any claim on the part of any agent of the government or any one else, that these twelve homesteads had been acquired wrongfully or fraudulently."
 Then the Senator attacked Francis J. Henry, an assistant United States attor- ney in the prosecution of land fraud cases, accusing him of unprofessional conduct in the jury room, and asserting that subsequent to the convictions in the lard fraud cases early in December. and before sentence had been imposed Henry engaged with District Attorney John II.

The capitol building bill held the
center Of attraction in the senate for
the afternoon, and as it was not reach
ed until just before adjournment, a
large crowd was on hand in expecta-
ton of the event. The supporters We're
counting on 81 votes on final action,
and received 36, with but thirty neces-
sary to carry it.
Warner attempted to push bis amend
ment providing that no money should
be available Until $3.50, 900 had accumu-
lated in the treasury, but this was yot-
ed down by decided vote.
The Freberg amendment was then
accepted, allowing the Sc of the funds
as they accumulated, and the bill
passed, which requires its going back to
the house for concurrence.
There is now enough money on hand
to secure plans and put the grounds in
condition, which will allow the begin
ming Of that work at an early date.
On this the Black Hills members
themselves split Shaw OF Lawrence OPP
posing the bill to the point of voting
against it, but it secured the required
two thirds to make it a law.
The house bills disposed of by the
house were to give cities power to sell
or lease waterworks, which is one of
the Sioux Falls bills to settle the tangle !;
these, making a city council part of
the board of equalization, which was
passed.
House bills kill I'd were to require the
state board Of medical examiners to
publish an annual report. giving arte-
sian well d1illers lien land for their
pay; and giving circuit court jurors -
a day and mileage.
The house made laws by senate bills
empowering counties to fund outstand-

tural college to make annual exhibit at
state fair; prohibiting the purchase of
old metal from minors; appropriatlng

The Indians take this position not

The reason of the commissioner of

own.
In reply to this the Indians ask
why not look after the parties that

temperate Indians and the women and
children to suffer through the illegal
sale of intoxicating liquoIs?
Should the remainder Of tie Brule
Sioux Indians sustain the action of

They Would Like Full Payment
of Money Due Them from
Uncle Sam.

Wheeler dispatch, 28: The Sioux
Indians who live in what is known as
the Bull Creek district, on the Rosebud
reservation, have just held an impor-
tant council, at which the approaching
payment to the Indians of the purchase
price for the 4. 100 acres of land which
they decided to the government last year
was discussed.
As a result of the council, the
Indians decided to take a position di
rectly opposite to that of the commits
sioner of Indian affairs, and unless
either themselves or the commissioner
of Indian affairs receded from their po-
sition, trouble and suffering will ensue.
The commissioner of Indian affairs
proposes TO give cash payment of S25
to each adult Indian only. The Indians
demand their children S money also.
Three Sioux warriors from the Bull
Creek district, s. Lapoint, One to Play
With and Eating Water, recently went
to Washingt IN for the purpose Of dis

They have now returned and report
