INDIAN AGENCY WILL
HAVE INVESTIGATION

Pierre, S. D., March 29.-For several
years there have been rumors of trouble
at Grow Creek Indian agency, and
charges Of different kinds In regard to
Several Investigations rave been made,
but nothing definite appeared to have
esulted until this week. When
Inspector Allen, after putting in
several months, mas placed Spec
ial Agent c. L. Ellis in charge.
The principal complaints appear to
have been in the way of claims of fay-
the change. Special Agent Ellis has sent
out a circular letter in which he says:
"All parties are hereby notified that
the penalties Of sections 2137 and 2138
of. the Revised Statutes Of the United
States. will be imposed if live stock is
sued by the government, the issue
thereof or the hides therefrom are
passed through their hands, without
being accompanied by the proper per-
init from the agent.
Property Of all kinds which is pur-
chased from trust funds derived from
sale OF allotment Of lands, is also
held in trust, n cannot be conveyed
or encountered. Whenever any such
property is found in the possession Of
parties without authority therefore, it
must be returned to his agency or
information given as to where 1t can
be found, or suit will be recommended
for its recovery in the United States
court"
The placing of a special agent in
charge undoubtedly means a thorough
overhauling III affairs of the agency
and getting Town to the bottom Of all
charges, to find whether they are mere
talk, or ave foundation enough or
Which to take action.

ARE UNDER SUSPICION

Mitchell. S. D., March 2S.-Twenty-
seven freshmen of Dakota Wesleyan
university are taking an enforced va
cation by reason of their suspension by
President Kerfoot .
Class spirit has been running high
between the sophomores and the fresh
men. The freshmen capped the climax
when they captured eight Of the sopho-
mores and drove into the country with
them. The sophomores were bound
hand and foot and tied to telephone
poles, first having a swath cut through
their hair n then "13" marked with
iodine on their foreheads, indicating
their graduating year.
The "sophs" were furious over
their treatment and when the fresh
mar leaders were brought up for viola
ton of the expressed determination Of
the faculty to stop hazing, the entire
freshman class agreed to accept what
was given the leaders. They were
given q week out Of school as a punish
ment for the offense.

Pierre Will Hold One of Five
Gatherings to Unite Forces
to Perfect System.

begin, to be held in as many states,
and closing with the fourth annual
meeting of the Missouri River Naviga-
ton congress to be held in Kansas City
the latter part of the summer.
The object of all these conferences
and meetings is to encourage the use
of the Missouri river for transporta-
ton. Already the Missouri River Nav
fgation congress feels it has accom-
plished a great deal in bringing all the
cities in the Missouri valley together,
eliminating the jealousy which former
ly existed between the upper and lower
river cities, and getting the various in
terests together.
This is the condition Of commerce on
the river at present: The Benton
Packet company has eight boats and a
score of barges to begin business when
the river is safe this spring. They will
ply between Bismarck, Wilton, Wash
burn. Coal Harbor. Expansion. Beapolis
and Williston, N. D., being operated by
telephone like trains moving between
stations. Docks and marine legs for
loading and unloading grain have been
constructed to handle grain in the bulk,
several elevators having been erected
along the river. The government will
make p ornament landings for this COM
pany at Bismarck.
Kansas City is completing the sub
scriptions to 81. 000, 900 of stock to put
a oat line on the river from that city
to st. Louis.
With such men as Congressman j.
p. Latta, of Nebraska, behind it, an
Independent line is being organized,
known as the Missouri Valley Trans
portation company" which expects to
run boats from st. Louis to Kansas
City and Omaha. The company is now
seeking to pledge a large amount of
tonnage in Omaha and desires to Sc
cure the same amount to and from
Sioux City to enable them to operate
boats to that city.
Captain j. S. Stevens. of Fort Ben
ton. with j. H. Stranahan. attorney and
of the First National bank, of Fort
Benton, proposes to operate boats reg
ularly between Fort Benton and Will
liston. N. D., if not between Fort Ben
