JULY THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: MONDAY, 20, 1878, ment & man becomes an Indlan Agent, ho enters the citcle of thieves, and preys upon the red- man for the establisment of & fortune. It wos WITH TI3 IDEA APPARENT 1N 1118 MIND that [nspcctor Hummond came into Dakot: year azo.

At any rate, out ol lammond's efforts, assiated by C‘Yx" Dougherty, and backed and encouragzed by gecrotary Schurz and Commissloner uyt, has come the result so widely circulated. ‘Ui Crow-Cruek correspondence published fn Tue TrinuNg and other newspapers opens with a wenerul announcement that Dr. Livingston has ktolen evervihing in stzhit about the Agzency. It 44 probable that the author intended to let that go a8 an exaggeration, because, {f he Juoked over the records as closely as he ssid he (i, he muat have discovered that thero Is some Tou0 or 8100,000 worth of property at Crow Creek which 18 represented upon the hooks and rercipts as the property of the United States, sl lias passed into the hands of Capt.

It Is true that they did not receive this money, and right nere comes to thu.sur- face nu frreculacity which Is fn common practice fun cvery department of the Government, both eivil and military. It is not In strict compllahee with the letter of the law, but it Lhas been sanc- tloned by custom, and has beconie & universal babit amony offictals, The suins for which tha yuuchers sizned by Hooker lmlHeux{wcru mven represented tho entire amount pald for fhe two jobs of work upun each of which themselves nod 8 dozen or more otliers werg encazed, A certaln I:roponlau of this total was due to each one of thess dozen or more lanorers for services rendered; but, fnstead of making out vouchers in duplicate Lo separato was drawn, covering mploves upon tach plece of work, ‘Thus it happened that Bevert. Hooker recelpted for the $1,160 which was diatributed smong himself and tho others who were enzaged t procuring logsand lunber for the schouthouse, and that Joln Fleury re- coipted for the $750 pald over to himself and Dis fetlow-laborers. Tho result was the samo as thourn tue_entiro strivz of red-taps had been reeled off. Tho Government recelved tho volue of Ite money, the men received the value of their services, and the labor of preparing for the disburscuents of funds was lessencd by THE ORDINARY BHORT CUT to the result. 1dunot agree that it is strictly izt for oflicials to evade_the routlne work swhichi the law culls for, but I do hold that such an evaslun shonld not cxpuse wnen to charges of wholesale robberv, ‘Tlio voucher buaess forinn a considerable dem in tho charges agatnst Dr. Livingston, and each case can be explained in the manncr | have Indleated, and conclusiyo proof given that the Government recclved the full value of all the money 1t has disbursed at Crow-Creck Agency.

Capt, Douglierty cave In this vomplaint a complcte 1ist of tho articles alleged tu have been relzed by him. A Deputy Unlted States Marshal was sent to the Agency to take charge of the stock while procecdings” were in nrogress. He caro- fully invantoricd all the pronerty taken froin tho Trader, and found only about $8,000 worth, instead of $40.000 worth as was allcged fn the comululnl. Ile found no Indjan gowds in the stock, and but few of the articles given in Dougherty's list. All these facts ara A MATTER OF RECORD, 5. One of the Instructions from the Depart- ment renders It a portion ot the duty of Indian Arents to dsprive Indlana gulity ot offenses and depredations of thelr rations. This has fre. quently been done by Dr. Livingston, and out of 1t douvtless cumes the charge that Indians hayo been compeiled to go without the supplics sent by the Guvernment for their use, The re- ports aud nccounts of the Agent show all trata. actions of this nature, and Dr. Livingston ;neclnlly invites an fnvestigation into this sub- joct. 0. The sulcide of Hooker waa tho direct re- sult of a system of intimidation empluyed by Hammond " for the purpose of fuducing em- ployes to testify aganst Dr, Livineston. Hooker ‘ras threatencd with imprisonmont in the guard- houso at Bralo In case ha refused to glve dnm- aglng atatements against the Agent, Other employes bad boen pluced in this lock-up for the samic reason,~—among them the boss-farmer, Bruckmann, who lins since broucht an action against Hanmond for false imorisonment, plac- ing his damnges ot $5,000. A few minutes be- fore 1looker committed the deed, ho noticed that Hanmond's tcam was being hitched to his buegy. e fnquired If this was not beinz done for the pueposo of conveying him to the Brule guard-liouse. Not recelving s satlsfactory an- swer, ho retired to the house and killed "him- sclf. Dr, Liviugaton made a formal demand upon Capt. Dougherty for a legal tuveatigution of the case. This WAS TUFUSED, Doucherty asserting that ic was only authorized to make a medical oxaminativn, No legal in- vcntlfluon has yet been imade. 7. It is only necessary (o summon the oo cupauts of tlie Agency-houscs, and procure thelr testimouny, 1o prove that no annuity-goods were coucealed about their premiscs. 8, This i o charge that Dr. Livingaton pald $62 per ton for coal, 1t was sold hin by a Yankton mercantlle irm. A search through their old bills and_recelpts shiows that the coal cost this firm in Chicazo $13 per ton; that the freight from Chicago to Crow Crcek was 848 per ton; that toe total cust to the contractors was $00: that their profit was 83 per ton. Thls coal was purchased many years azo, before rail- roads reschied as far ns they now do, and was shipped to the Agency at aseason of tho year when river-navigation was suspended, “I'he voucher returned to the Departinent In this cao was accompanied by a certificate showling the emergencey for the coal, aud the distance it was cartied by wagons. 0. Uuder tois head a more extended explana- tlon s necessary, The specificatlon charzes that eoods belonging to tho Indlens, represent- fngz 800 diffsrent classes, wero found secreted by the Agents, Asthe ecotire list of srticles given the Tudlans by the Governinent does not cxceed forty classes, thore fa evidently an orror here. It is charged that the axocs, shovels, hoes, Osh-hooks, cte., found in the Agont's warchouses werc very much in excess of the uantity carried upon his books and papers ns the property of the Government. This 18 true. BUT IT 15 XXPLAINED by the Departnient order requiring all Agents to causo their Indiaus to return to them for storage all_arlicles not in actusl use by the Indlans. This Ageacy selzure was mado in early spring, and at that tipe all the agrl- cultursl lmp’cmenu which bad been fssued to the Indians, and wero 1o s serviceable condl- tion, were storcd for safe-keeping (n the Agency-buildinge. They were the property of the Indiaus, who bad recelpted for them, and could not appear upon the list as Government- pruperty. At tho time Dr. Livingston took posseasion of Crow-Creek Ageucy, thera was somne 6,000 pounds of tobacco on hand, which ho declined to recelpt for, as ft was in & damag- ed condition, It has since heen kept {n one of his butidings, and now turns up as an evidenco of fraud, because it does not appear upon the books as Government-prouerty, Docunentary ovidenco at Washington will “show that it bus been on hand for the past «ieht or ten years, ‘This closes the list of specifications; and, as 1 have already taken up too much of your space, I will wind up with brlet reference to & few of the particulars concernivg wattors at Crow. Creek Agency. It has been stated thar. under Dr. Liviogston's adwinlstration,: no progress was mado by hls 1ndfans, as he’ devoted his tino exclusively to feathering his owu nest. My scqualntance with the past and prescut ot the Crow-Creek Indians gives me an opvortuoi- ty to notice A DRUIDED CHANGE FOT TIIE BXTTER in thelr habits, Eight years ago it was impossi- ble to cross their rescrvation except with an aruied force. Now the travcler is us safo fn the Crow-Creck country as upon tho business thoroughfares ot & city. ‘When Dr, Livinzston entered upon the duties of Agent, his Indians lived exclustyely {n tepees, and had no schools, never attended relizious services, performed no labor, aud wera in & deplorable taoral con- dition, from the prescoco of numerous squaw-men, and the bad example of their Milltary Agent. When ho left them, thore wero at the Agency 140 cublns, built by Indians, and oceusied by families, Good schiools wers eatablisicd by his efforts, which were reqularly attended by seventy young In- dians, Relizlofls exercises were regularly eld, and much interest taken in them. Most'of tho Indfans were enzaged Iu stock-growing snd agricultural pursuits, and all manifested & dis~ position to work. ' Ur. Livingston's flrst etfort was to removoe all squaw-nen from s reserva- tion; and In this Lo was succesaful aftor a long und dangerous contest, fn which LIS LIYE WAS MANY TINES PLACED IN JEOw AUDY. It 1 from this class of nion that Hsmmond has procured hin heaviest aflidavits nst Living- ston, Besldes supplying bis own Indiaus with all the work-cattle sud cows they reaulrod from the iucrease of the Agency-herd, the Doc- tor has transferred to other Agencies 325 head, and had s surplus of 100 besd on band at Lhe thine of bis removal, But [ cannot enumerate all the details of the defense [ have in my mind, |lils Agency was selzed on charges of fraud; he was driven” from it by muitary force; his private papers amil property wers taken without soy legal process, aud $i; open violation of s constitutional right, ‘They are retained bv the Government, and he is dented the trial ho has dumanded us bls right, The query s, What disposition Is it proposed ta mako of ils casef I, for onw, think he Is en- titled to a fale hearlog.
