MlSUSED INDIANS.
Mrs. Helen Pierce Grey Tells Of Abuse
of the Grow Tribe.

Washington. April Mrs. Helen
Pierce Grey the newspaper writer, VIII"
was arrested last summer because of
her connection with the protests of
Grow Indians against the manner in
which the government agents managed
the Grow reservations in Montana, re-
sumcd her statement today before the
Senate committee on Indian affairs.
She charged that to keep from starry
ing the Indians had been compelled to
cat the meat of diseased cattle and
sheep; that they were frequently
thrown into Jail without cause and
kept at the mercy Of the agents: and
that the children at the government
reservation school were mistreatcd.
She said positively that all of these
things must have been done with the
knowledge Of some of the officials at
Washington.
That some of the membcrs of the
committee were impressed by the char
acter of the charges which Mrs Grey
said were succeptabc of proof was
evident from the character of the
cross examination. 1t is not unlikely
that a general investigation will be or
dered.
Mrs Grey in describing her expert
cnccs told about the six times she was
arrested and about an alleged attempt
by Indian Agent Reynolds to Trump

Mrs Grey responded that the chief

! Mrs. Gray said that Mr.. Garfield was

| could not have been ignorant of what
was going on. She said that Indians

| when they were thrown into jail that
r, act constituted the whole legal pro-

and the time of imprisonment Dc
pended upon the will Of the Indian
