At last reports have been received
here from the investigation which
was recently made by Inspector VAL
entine regarding the affairs of the
officials at the agency. They indi-
cate that action has been taken by
the department to end the friction
that has existed for so long between
the agent and clerk, and which caus-
ed So much confusion on the reserva-
tion. 1t is stated on good authority
that c. NJ. Robinson, agency clerk,
who was suspended some time ago
by Major McKoin, has been removed
from the position here and offered a
similar post on the Blackfeet reser-
walton, Montana. Whether or not
the appointment will be accepted is
not known yet.
Apparently Major McKoin has been
sustained by the department in the
course he has pursued in the admin
istration of affairs at the agency.
While it was rather expected by those
who are interested in the affairs at
the reservation that he would be up
held, many would not have been sur
prised had he been transferred to an
other post as a result of the contro-
versy. However, no such action has
been taken by the department, and II
would seem that he is to be retained
in charge of affairs and allowed to
carry out the reforms which he insti-
gated on his arrival here.
