WASHWOTON , D 0. , April29. The
report has been circulated that Indian
Agent Wiloox is a bad nun ; that ho la
Interested in the postradershlp at the
San Citloa aonoy , etc. A western
gentleman juat arrived hero elates
that this is but a revival of what has
bion repeatedly charged In the Denver
pipers , and that It Is simply an at
tempt to ftooompllah hie removal on
the part of j salons onomlos. Mr ,
Wiloox , ho Bays , haa served
in various capacities , and was
at one time United States
marshal for Colorado , Always fear
less In the discharge of his duty , ho
engendered the 111 will of many who
have carried the fight agalnat him Into
Adzma. Ho has excluded bad white
men from the San Carlos reservation ,
aud this action aroused the indigna
tion of the parties , As to the agency
atnro , ho never owned a dollar's worth
of atock In It , but at one time dnrlne
the absence of thu trader , at the lat-
ter'a request , ho looked to the care of
tho-atoro intercata. Gon. Crook has
justly remarked that Wilson la the first
and only agent the Apaches over had.
Ho Is courageous , and will conduct
the agency affairs without regard to
these reports.
