The effort was fruitless, the Indians without further par ley continuing on tneir way. rne F.ner iff's party then took the road to New castle. The Indians drove some twenty- five miles and went Into camp lor tne Bight. Starting early next morning they had gone some forty-five miles and were travellne- along Lightning creek about o'clock In the afternoon, when they came to a fence built across the road. There were about fifteen wagons In the train. which were strung along a distance or about half a mile, a boy about 11 years As l thev annroached the fence a little girl ran forward and ODened It. The boy and ponies, with two or three wagons had rearing for the Indians. After all the evt deuce for the prosecution had been heard. the justice dismissed the esse and re leased the Indiana.

The statement of the ennaressmnn from W'yomlng that the trouble was the result of bad management of the agency affairs, i nnos no Justification among reasonable people familiar with the conditions and circumstances. Agent Brennan, In Issuing passes to these Indians to go off the reservation, violated neither law nor prece dent, nor did he commit an error pf judg ment. The practice of Issuing passes to limited parties of Indians to leave the reservation prevails at all aaenclea and finds warrant In the regulations prescribed by the government for the conduct of In dian affairs. It Is not true, as was ststed In several papers, that these Indians were absent from the reservation for the pur- rose of hunting, nor Is there any evidence hat they were hunting in violation of the laws of Wyoming. The fact la that they were simply traveling through the state m the same manner that hundreds of the Wyoming and Montana Indians every year come Into South Dakota to camp In the Black Hills and to visit friends on the various reservations. Such parties are al lowed to roam unmolested through the state and are always accorded courteous and kind treatment. The Indians msklng up this party have always borne a good reputation At home. They have at all times been friendly and peaceable and have never shown any dls- Sosltlon to be troublesome. It will be dlf cult Indeed for those who know them to believe that the Indisns were wholly In the wrong. It Is the opinion of many that they would never have refused to submit to arrest had the matter been properly ex plained to then Bladder and Urinary Troubles Promptly Cured by Swamp-Root Because Swamp.
