Indian Offenders -
Freed Under Bond
United States District Attorney F. 8.
Howell ha declared himself In favor of
administrative economy, aa well at Jus
lice In the cases of Indians charged with
minor offenses onthelr reservations.- He
has written a letter to the agent at the
Winnebago reservation. Instructing him
not to send arrested Indians to Omaha
to be confined In Jail at government ex
(ense, unless their offenses are flagrant
. Hereafter, minor offendera will be re
leased on their own bonds. If they have
farm allotments - and are not liable to
run away. Such a system will save the
government hundreds of dollars IK Jail ex
penses. Prosecutor Howell thinks.
Clothed only In the ragged remains of
old summer garments, a shivering,
hungry-looking girl named Agnes Morri
son, about IS years of aire, called at the
Volunteers of America on Fifteenth street
and apiKalod for some warm clothing, so
that she could go out and look for work.
Investigation of the case by Mrt. V. A.
MoConnlck, wife of tho major In charge,
disclosed that the girl's widowed mother
and five smaller children were in even
worso circumstances and suffering from
cold at their little ahsck on the river bot
toms, near the foot of liard street.
Mrs. McCormick gave tho girl warm
garments, donated by Omaha women, and
then outfltteJ the entire family with win
ter dresses, underclothing and shoes, also
donated by charitably Inclined people who
had discarded the clothes. Tho mother
and daughter were then able to go out
and work and the youngster were able

The Bakvatlon Army, under Captain 11.
it. Kline, Is also receiving money for the
same 'purpose. Each organization will
have a decorated tree Christmas morning,
and will give out hundreds of baskets of
food to poor families whose rases have
been thoroughly Investigated and found
to be worthy.
Captain Kline ' and Major McCormlck
will compare their lists, srt that there will
be no duplication. The number of bas
kets to be given out will depend upon the
generosity of the public during the next
few days. Judging , from the money and
applications received so far, there will be
many moro hungry families than there
will be baskets of Christmas food and
