WASHINGTON, Nov 26.-(Special Teie-
gram. 1.-THE announcement that favorable
decision has been handed down in the
circuit court OF appeals affirming the de-
cision Of the circuit court Of Wyoming in
the case Of Asmus Boyson Of Council Bluffs
against Harry Il. Wadsworth. Indian agent,
was read with considerable interest today
by officials of the general land office and
the Indian bureau. Governor Richards,
commissioner OF the general land office,
was not at his Office today, being engaged
it is said In the preparation Of his report
I'm reply TO some rather sensa tional articles
which have appeared in local papers rela-
tive to the conduct OF his office It was
the general belief of officials of the land
Office, however, that the Boyson-Wads
worth case would ne appealed to the SUI
preme court OF the United States FOR final
decision. This also appeared TO be the con-
clusion Of Indian Commissioner Leupp
although he. when seen, was unwilling TO
DC quoted IN the matter. Agent Went
worth, il is generally thought about the
Interior department will not be satisfied
until he has appealed to the highest
tribunal the United States supreme court.
ties 10 Be Cared Fo-.
The indian bureau has informed the War
department that as soon as the White
river Utes arrive at Fort Meade and their
precise needs as to clothing can be ascer-
talned that sum Of money can be
squeezed out Of an emergency appropriation
which will be adequate TO meet the necessi-
ties Of the Utes Up to the hour Of closing
the departments today no word had been
received as 10 whether the renegade Utes
had arrived at Fort Meade.
1t Is understood General Greeley. in his
report to the secretary Of war regarding
the destitute condition of the Utes. sug-
gested that the War department should
take care of these Indians and tide them
over. Investigation showed the laws. how
ever gave the War department no authority
to furnish the Utes with either transpor-
tation or clothing unless they were regarded
as prisoners of war. This condition Cen
eral Greeley was not prepared to admit,
and the Interior department will therefore
take care of the Indians until their special
needs can be laid before congress.
Indian Teachers In Washington.
Jesse F. House, superintendent of the
Rapid City, s. D., Indian school, and J.
Mortsolf, superintendent of the Day schools
on the Rosebud Indian reservation, are in
Washington consulting with officials Of the
Indian bureau on various matters affecting
their respective schools.
