TREATED UNFAIRLY.
a. 3. Clark of Rosebud, S. D., Makes
Protest

Rosebud s. D.. April 3.-The New
York Tribune of March 26 contains
letter from A. b. Clark, missionary at
the reservation here, dated February
% in which he complains that the IN
dian department is not treating the In
dians fairly i'm the matter of reductions
from their annuities to pay for edu-
cation of those Indian children whose
parents elect to have them educated in
sectalan schools rather than in the
government schools. He quotes Indian
Commissioner Leupp to the effect that
the Indians may contribute to sec
tartan schools for their own educa-
ton and the amount they contribute
may be deducted from their annuities
whenever they understand clearly that
they are paying for their owH educa-
ton outside of the government schools.
A telegram of instruction from the
commissioner TO the Indian agent at
Rosebud says: payment of contract
(for sectarian schooling) will be made
out of all trust and treaty funds named
in the petition to the extent of the
shares of the petitioners and netitlon--
ers' children, the total of which will
be deducted from the total amount
of said funds whenever q distribution
is mad r, thus reducing to such AN eN-
tent the shares of all Rosebud In
dians.'
Mr. Clark gathers from this that the
to be taken out of the trust and treaty
funds and charged up to the Indians
regardless of whether they attend sec
tartan schools or not. This provolSes
protest from Mr.. Clark, who wants
to know "if there is political or CO.
Jesuiticll combination compelling the
sufferance of this wrong"
Bishop Hare of Soutl: Dakota gets
into the matter by communication
from Charleston, February lS. to Mr..
Clark, in which he says: Mr.. Leupp
called on me last summer at Sioux
Falls and assured me that everything
would be aboveboard and fair here
after"
When these communications We're
brought to the attention of Commits
sioner Leupp, he replied, outlining the
plan of utilizing the Indian trust funds
in payment of education at sectaran
schools and criticising quite severely
Mr.. Clark and Bishop Hare for miscon-
ceiving or misstating the plan of the
department. He contends that it is
;-till the purpose of the department. to
allow the Indians, when they desire.
to contribute to their own education
in the sectarian schools, but that it is
that any one who does not wish to so
contribute shall be compelled to do So
In view of this position assumed by
Mr.. Leupp, his telegram quoted above
does not clearly state his position. He
does not intend to make every Indian
pay pro rata for the sectarian edu-
cation enjoyed by comparatively few,
althouf L he does not make his inten-
tion very distinct and clear in his tele-
gram. This much, at least, can be
stated that when the balance sheets
are made up it will no doubt appear
to be the preference of the president
and the policy of the commissioner
to avoid carefully any discrimination
in favor of or against any sect engaged
in teaching and preaching to the In
dams

YOUNG WOMAN KILLED.
a Bride of Two Months Meets Death
Accidentallv

- S''S w WV NOhStS ltsCSLS 0SdIU
Accidentally.
Sioux Falls, S. D., March 30.-Eliza-
beth Hochhalter, wife of Fred Hoch-
halter a prominent Mcpherson county
farmer, met her death as the result of
a peculiar accident. The unfortunate
woman was u bride of only about two
months.
Her dead body was found lying in a
pool of blood in front of her sewing ma
chine in a room of her home. BY the
side Of the machine lay shotgun,
which had been discharged, the charge
striking the young wife and instantly
killing her.
The young woman was alone in the
house While her husband was engaged
at work in the barn, which stands some
distance from the dwelling. Mrs. Hoch-
halter was engaged in sewing, the sew
ing machine occupying a position in
front of a west window.
From the position of the body and the
gun it is practically certain that she
climbed up on the sewing machine for
the purpose of pulling down the roller
window shade, and that while thus en-
gagged she fell and knocked from it's
pegs the shotgun.
The weapon was suspended on two
nails driven into the wall The butt end
of the gun was close to the window
casin. When the young wife fell she
knocked the gun loose, as stated, and
in striking the floor the weapon was
discharged, the muzzle being in such
a position at the time the gun was
discharged that the full charge en-
tered the back of the unfortunate
woman's head.
She was only 21 years of age and
was married January 5 last.
