of > thc late George Metcalf In a suit Insti
tuted by P , J. Day , Administrator of the
estate of George Metcalf and also his
brother-in-law. The administrator charges
Henry II. Metcalf , now of Los Angeles , Cal. ,
vs 1th failure to account for assets of the estate
of his bioilier amounting to more than $21-
OOU. Mr. Day cites the fart that ho Is
guardian of the minor heirs of George Met
calf , and Is bringing the suit In their In
terest.
Thomas Metcalf , the resident member of
thu firm , was questioned concerning Ad
ministrator Day's appeal to the court , but
j deemed It best not to make any statement
I concerning the matter. "No one can have
a greater Interest In the affairs of our dead
brother , " said he , "than wo have , and when
thu limit comes It will be shown that there
was no necessity for this suit. I regret the
fact that Mr Day has deemed It necessary
to go to this extreme , but ho will find a
prompt and full explanation of all he desires
to know when the proper time comes. The
matter Is between II Metcalf and Mr. Day ,
but of course wo all feel an Interest In It. "

Oxtni'il l > > an lomi Mini. ,
MINDEN , la. , Feb. E. To the Editor of
The Uee : I frequently have Inquiries If I
still have In my posse-fllon the famous Jack
son Indian medal shown at the expositions
of our country In the- last fifteen years. The
only way I have of answering these In
quiries and keeping It fresh In memory of '
Interested onoj Is to reply through The Bee. ,
Yes , this valuable relic Is still in my pos- ,
session. I have Just had It returned from j I
Tiffany Brothers , New York. It was sent j '
there as an attraction for a window sho.v
for three months. The medal was fliist
brought Into public notice at Chicago In 1S74 , j t
at the cxpoaltloni held at that time , at
Philadelphia In 187G , at New Orlesns Cot
ton exposition In ' 18S5 and at Denver Min
eral exposition In 1883t i
Many of your readers may bo Interested I
to know a part of the history of this mecM !
anel how it Mine-.Into my posscc-slcin. The
winter of 1871-72 was very severe , depriving
the Indians of the opportunity to hunt. In
February , 1S72 , the chief. Young Spanna
Hoivie , came to mehc \ \ a resident of Loire
Tree , Neb. , and deposited the medal with me
as security for supplies for h's family , prom
ising to redeem Itis soon as the weather
would permit the Indians to hunt. By his
negligence I was peilnitted to hold this
medal one year before he iradei an effort to
redeem his pledgoj I showed him a disposi
tion to buy the medal and by a few coaxing
presents , he-gave mo full possession of It , on
condition that I should keep It and that
he might see It whenever he called for that
purpose , This was , pomplled. wlth.so loug as
he lived.
The history of the medil was written by
Sergeant Cady of Old Port Kearney. It con
tains all that could oe ascertained by white
men , and it reads thus : "In the early ' 20s
of this century there roamed over the plains
of what now Is known as Nebraska and
the western hills of Ion a a tribe ot ludlans
known as the Pawnees. Among their chiefs
was one named Spanna Horse , a noted and
famous warrior , and during the first ad
ministration of Andrew Jackson as president
of the United States there was a peace coun
cil held at or near where the city of Council
Bluffs , la. . Is now situated , and from such
councils It has taken Its name. This medal
was presented to this chief oo one of these
occaslo-s In 1S29. Shortly after this date
Spanra Horse became a scout and guide- for
our government and acted In this capacity
up to his death , which occurred at Elm
Creek , Neb. , In 1S62. Young Spanna Horse ,
falling heir to his trllxil effects , among
them this medal , handed down to the pres
ent owner. Sergeant Cody tells us that that
Chief Spanna Horse was always friendly to
wnltes , and In one instance of h'a recollec
tion he reduced a chief named Ter-ri-me-
coux for killing a white man in disobedi
ence to the treaty. He often enlisted his
warriors In the United States service to aid
In keeping the Sioux Indiana In subjection.
This great chief carried the token of love
and reepect about his neck strung on a
thong made from the sinews of a deer until
the 14th day of August , 18C2 , being then
33 years of age , at which time ho was killed
In battle with the Sioux. "
There Is still a few of the old settlers
of Nebraska who remember this chief and
have seen the medal on hla neck , and no
doubt would recognize It at this date. In
the fall of 1874 the Pawnee Indians , having
ceded their lands or reservation , now known
as Nance county , Nebraska , to the govern
ment , were removed to lands allotted them
In Indian Territory. On the march down
overland young Spanna Horpe died , and on
his deathbed requested a white man's burial ,
a thing very rare among the Ind'ans at
that date. The greatest value attached to
the medal Is that It Is the only one In ex
istence of tbit date from President Jack-
son's udmin'stratlon ' to aciy Indians on our
frontier. Its preservation and Its age makes
It still more valuable.
Knowing that the exposition officers are
hunting up all the rare relics and history of
the state of Nebraska , they might Interest
themselves to Icivestlgito this medal and
history. WILLIAM M'ENDREE.

DES MOINES , Feb. C. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The Parley resolution , to call on
Iowa's congressional delegation to vote
,
against the pooling bill and the antl-scalplng
bill , was called up in the house today , The
committee on recommendation had been to
strlko out the whereas section reciting that
the measures wcro calculated to restrict
| 'competition ' and restrain trade ; no to the resolution
elution Itself , the committee made no rccom-
| i mendatlon. After some Jockeying a vole
was taken on it , prolix and all , and It was
passed , 34 to 33. The democrats , with el
low exceptions , supported It. There wcr
rumors later In the day that It would b
called up again and an effort made to re
' consider the vote ; that ono or two member
at least were willing to change their vote
and defeat It.
t The senate passed the Smith bill , fiom th
house , to put into Immediate effect the re
' duccd rates on state printing and bludl.ig
There was no opposition , The lull will takt
. effect on publication.
| ' The Woman's Christian Tempcranc
union presented a large number of petition
for n new state institution , n compulsoiy
reformatory for fallen women , for whlci
a bill will bo Introduced soon.
When the order of correcting the Journa
was reached , Senator Blanchard called atten
tlon to the fact that Senator Horrlman wa
shown to have voted for the bill to give tt
the State Agrlcultmal society a suite o
olllccs In the capltol. Ho said the constltu
lion provided that no legislator should vote
on a measure in which ho was personally
Interested , and as Harrlman was vice pies
Ident of the. society , protested against hi
name being recorded. He sarcastically as
surcd the senate that he was animated bv n
desire to protect Harriman from vlolattiu
a constitutional provision. Harrlman repllei
that ho would take the responsibility , in
no change was made In the record. The bll
parsed the house during the day.
The democratic city central committee
today called the city convention for Fcbru
ary 17 , to nominate a full city ticket Oi
account of the great republican factlona
light for the mayoralty nomination , the dem
ocrats have hopes of electing , by drawing
n strong support from the defeated rcpubllca : *
faction The only candidate prominently dls
cussed for the demociatlc nomination Is J
J. Hartcnbower , for many yeare and untl
six or seven years ago a resident of Sheldon
The democrats are organblng clubs In every
precinct and working enthusiastically. The
republican primaries will bo held February
28 , the convention March 4.
