Harsh treatment on the part of Major
Downs, Indian agent at the Thunder
Butte station, s. D., is responsible for the
trouble with the Utes. according to re-
port received by the War Department in
Washington from Captain Carter Z.
johnson, the officer in command of the
troops sent to the scene. Commissioner
Francis Leupp of the bureau of Indian
affairs has accepted Captain Johnson's
report as a reflection on that bureau.
Citing the fact that the disafected Utes
have refused two offers to work for rail-
road companies, one of which contemplate
ed paying them 81 day for labor only
fifteen miles from their present home,
Mr. Leupp said johnson proceeds on
the theory that the way to handle trouble
some Indians is to set them off and feed
them. That is not the Indian Office the
DRY. This Office believes in applying the
same rule to the Indians that is applied
to poor and ignorant men of any race.
We believe in finding work for them and
then in permitting them to go hungry if
they will not accept the opportunity to
make living

Judge Duncan, in Common Pleas Court

served upon John d. Rockefeller in

that Mr.. Rockefeller represents a foreign
corporation that is not doing business in
the State of Ohio and that Mr.. Rookie

personal one and not for the transaction
of any business. The motion to quash
the summons served on the Solar Refining
Company of Lima, Ohio, is overruled.
Motions made by the Buckeye Pipe Line
Company, the Ohio Oil Company and the
Standard Oil Company to strike out GER
tain allegations in the petition are also
overruled. The decisions deny an indi-
vidual the right to bring quo warranto
proceedings and say that can only be done
