Annual Report of the Commissioner of In- dian Affairs, AN EPITOME OF THE WORK OF THE YEAR. A Vast Amount of Interesting Infor- ma®on in Regard to the Tribes on the Two Nebraska Agencies. Wasmyeroy, Dec 8 pecial to Tue By, |- The aniual report of the commis- sioner ot Indian affairs is now In press and will be gi to the public in a few days. In addition to the formal recommendations and the epitome of the work for the year con- tained in the report proper thero are reports from all the agents regarding the conditions prevailing at their agencies and containing a vast amount of information in regard to the details of the Indian business. Among them are those of the two Nebraska agencies. ¥rom galley proofs kindly furnished by the Indian oftice the following extracts are made: Robert H. Ashley, agent for the Omaha and Winnebago Indians who has resided among or near the Indians for thirty years, reports y rvation is located on the eastern nd embraces the entire_county of Thurston, Nebraski, except a portion of the rescrvation which bas been sold and is now occupicd by the white purchasers. It 1s bounded on the east by the Missouri river, eighteen milos from the northern to southern limits, and extends west thirty miles, em- bracing one of the finest tracts of land in the state of Nebraska. The ecastern portion is well timbered with the valuable varieties of hard wood native to this seetion: the central and western portions are made up of gently rolling prairies, wide and fertile valleys, weil waicred by the Logan, Omaha and Blackbird crecks and thelr branches, and possessed of the finest soil, The Winnehago tribe of Tnidans occupy the northern portion, containing 111,360 wcres, and the Omaha tribe the southern, contain fug 133,540 meres As there is nothing 1n common betw the Omabha and Winnebago Indians, speaking as they do a different lan- Ruage, of dissimilar character and habits, T shall report them separatel, WINNEBAGOES, The general condition of this tribe has_not materiully changed during the ye Pro- &ress townrd a higher and better “civilization there has been; each year adds a few to the number who have to un extent forsaken th old habits and customs, but their advance meut is slow. The rov restless disposi- tion of these people, fostered and encouraged as it has been by their removal from rescrva- tion to reservation (having been moved no less than five times during the past fift rs), is always impeding their rapid vancement, The population according to census just completed is 1,212, The cultivated acreage has been increased during the year by 980 acres of new breaking, the la part of which 1s in the western portiou of the reservation. The Winnebago Indians, while slow to acknowledge and accept the new conditions resulting (rom the allotment of the lands in severalty, are now exercising the rights of citizenskip, and the industry and thrift which among all people result from the ownership of the soil, begin to be seen. Eighty-thrce thousand one hundred and twenty ac of the Winnebago reservation has been alloted, covered by 958 individual allotments; 28,240 are as yet unalloted. Of the allotedlandsat least 60 per cent belong to women, aged or infirm men and minor children. The able-bodied men have all and more than they can cultivate in their own right. As thelaw now stands there is no legal way to derive any benefit or revenue from this large tract of d. It either lies iale or is illegally ocenpi n the latter case tho owners derive but a small per cent of its true rental value. I would recommend that the law be so modified or amended that allot- ted lands of these Indians may, under proper Testrictions, be leased, the | to be sub- Ject to the consent and approval of the com- missioner or agent, and_only then when by roper sliowing it is made to appear that it is mpossible for the allottees to cultWate the land themselves, and the leases be made only for the purpose of cultivation, . _Ithus been my aim, in which the depart- ment has given meall the aid in its power, to locate as many as possible on allotments in the western portion of the reservation. With the linuted means at my command T have been able to assist but few of the many who are now anxious to open up and improve the allotments. It is of little use to L:N.K‘n'l'ukmg done on the prairie twenty miles distant from where the owners now reside unless teams are ‘:rm‘ull'd to work it and houses for the workers to live in. It has been my policy to select those who had not heretofore received government aid and who show a disposition tosupport themselves, and young men who have just returned from school, and to give them all the assistance possible. Five have been assisted to the extent of $100 each in completing houses on allotted lands from the appropriation “aiding Indian allottees. The Winncbagoes are provided with excel- lent facilitics, with ample accommodations for all that can be induced to attend school. They have, however, been slow to appreciate these opportunities, and it has often been dif- flcult to keep the school even moderately well filled. I can, however, see improvements in this respect during the year, All the missionary work at this agency is conducted by the Presbyterian board of mis- sions. They have a neat and confortable church, a resident missionary, and services are held regularly. The attendance is small. There is no church organization. The Win- nebagoes are not a religiously inclined peo- | missionavy work among them is dis- ing. The Sabbath school connected with the church is, during the session of the Winucbago industrial school, well attended, a8 the school furnishes over sixty scholars, and is doubtless doing much good. But little crime has been committed dur- ing the year, and all have been of a minor nature, for which there has been but one conviction and that for assault and battery. Circumstuances have been against punishment of minor crimes, as we have had no state offi- cer within twenty miles of the agency. We have now a resident justice and can bring oftenders to justice. Especially will this be valuable in cases of drun| 1SS, The moral status of the Winnebagoes, es- pecially as regards the marriage relations, is anything but what it should be. The prac- tice of assuming and dissolving tho marriage relations at will, without form of law is com- mon. It hus heen the custom of these people from the earliest history, and is a vice difti- cult to remedy. Outside of the moral ques- tion it will necessarily cause these people an endless amount of trouble 1n the future as re- the las of descent, as it will be impos- determine who are legal heirs to prop. v. 1 most earnestly recommend that all of the power which this general government yet. retains be exerted to suppress and wipe out this practice, Whisky can be procured by Indians at most of the towns adjoining the reservation, and so0 far 1t has been impossible to prevent Its sale to them. Every ease of such illicit sale coming to my knowledgo has been re ported to the federal court suthorities, In two cases the guilty parties were convicted and fined $1 and costs each. Such slitht pun. ishment inspires no fear, and without the hearty co-operation of the federal courts we can do little, The smali cash annuities paid the Winne- bago Indians is, in my opinion, of little actual benefit to them. The larger part is wasted orworse, [f it is to bo paid them at all it should be during the latter part of the winter, when their other weans of subsisten®e is ex- hausted. If it can be done, I think much more good would result by using the money in establishing them o their allotments. OMAIAS. Outside of having charge of the schools, my duties as agent_are only nominul as re- ards the Omaba Indians. They are doing irly well, but they much need the counsel, encourugement and supervision of an agent. The Omata Indians occupy almost the same spot thoy did in 1504, when Lewis and Clarko first exploved the Missouri valley. They have always been a quiet, peace-loving people, and easy to contiol. They are not possessod of all the energy one codld wish, and they con- sequently require pushing and encouraging A number of them have good farms opened and dre progressive, The census just completed shows the total ulation as 1,178, I the 133,540 acres in the reservation 07,- 40 have been alloted to 954 individual allot tees, There are210 houses on the reserve- tion occupled by Indians. One Indian has been nssisted during the year from the gen- eral fund, “Aiding Indian allottees,” to the extont of $250, The remedy suggested in regard to leasin of Winnebago Indian lands may be u|r|nlm§ al$0 to the Omahas.. I'ho cultivated acreage on the Omaba re- servation has been increased 1,750 acres dur- ing the past year, but this land has almost boen all been broken by white men under e kind of lease. he Omahas are divided in opinion as to the value and benefit of citizenship, the non- progressive party holding out against it, the progressive acknowledging the benefits and exercising its privileges. The feeling on this point is pronounced, but I am convinced that the progressive will in timo overcome the op- [:Nnum, and that all will acknowledgo it to e beneficial to the race. The Omuhas have just received the lnst payment of $35,000 under act opproved May 15, 1888, muking $70.000 that has been p them within the last efghteen months. The Omahas are provided with ample school facilities, which they approciate to @ certain extent, and year by year. improvements in this respect can be'seen. As with the Win- nebagoes, the children attending school are mostly the younger oncs, This is mostly due to the fact ihat many of the children attend other institutions of learning, The Presbyterians have for many years labored among this people, and with good re- Sults. They have a church organization with amembership of 100 Indians, two resident missionaries, two chuzch buildings; services are held regularly and ave well attendod Very little crime exists at present among the Omaha Indians, and their moruls good. They respect the marriage relation, and family ties are recognized. They wore formerly polygamists, but of lato years this evil practice has been dying out, and there is on the rescrvation at present only cleven cases of polygamy. THE SANTEES AND PONCAS, James E. Helmes, the new agent of the Santees and Poncas at Santee agon, whose report is made after but two month's service, speaks as follows: Santee agency is located on the west bank of the Missouri river, in townships anges 4 and 5 west of the sixth 4 agency is located at the junction of the Niobrara and Missouri rivers, upou tho north side of the Niobrara, in that portion of Dakota now annexed to Nebraska, About three-fourths of the Santee e tion lies on ough and rocky where it would scem to me ti very hard for any one to live depending upon agriculture. The soil in some cases is fair and even good, but the hills are very abrupt and 80 steep in many cases that a horse can not climb them, The valloys or gulchies are narrow in most instances, so that to find a field contaming ten acres of plow land is an exception, About one-eighth of the reserve tion is on the Missouri river bottom and of remarkably rich soil. Tt lies low and is sub. ject to overflow. Very littleot this land is in cultivation, being used for h is a sparse growth of timber over some par but it has been mostly cut out. Nearly of the dwellings built on the bottom are very close to the bluffs so that the inhabitants get tothe hills incase of an overtlow. ‘I'he balance of the reserve is along the Bavile and Mini W s rich soil laying in a valley from one-fourth toone-half mile wide and the finest land on the reservation, Along these streams there is more prosperity among the people, These people scem to have made some vancement in farming, but the nature of th lands is discouraging und not calculated to kindle much enthusiasm in theirwork. Their fields are mostly small vatehes of indil cultivated grain, many corn fields having been planted and never cultivated, there being very few fields that have received the attention uecessary to & good yield, T would juage that about one-eighth of the number of acre Itivation heretofore was not plowed this year, while many of their houses are vacant and liable to be burned the first time a prairie tiro sweeps over the coun- try, their owners belng absenton a visit to some other section. A large amount of ma- chinery for farming is lying about either in the fields, where the owners quit work, or stacked together in the door yards, where it is liavle to become the prey to the unnual visitation of the prairic fir The people are being rapidly supplied with small but good dwellings and seem to take kindly to living in them like their white neighbors, and a large proportion are as neat and tidy as one would find in white settie- ments,” Their houses are in_the main quite well furnished with the ordinary household siuch as sto cupboirds, tables, beadsteads, etc., but all dare not yet supplied with them, Allof the Santees dress in - citi- zens' clothes and ave in the main as neat community of white farmers in thoir prva- y territory at it would be agency is fortunatein havinea num- ber of Indians who are quite proficient in the use of tools, and in_the main, men who can be depended upon. — Itis evident that more ad- vancement has been made in the trades than agriculture. This tact has been brought, about by the move liberal policy of the goy ernment in regard to keeping up this branch of the service by a judicial” expenditure of money for sala Ihave a number of arti- zans on this reservation who are as well quali- fied in their respective trades as_any ordi- nary white mechanic, and it is_obvious that rapid advancement is being made in these in- dustrie: Santeeagency is abundantly supplied with excellent schools. The Santes boarding. chool is the especial pride of the agency. The average attendance at this school during the past vear was 101.5. _This was as many as could be cared forin the dormitories. The main building has recently had additions built for bath purposes and good bath tubs have becn purchased, which isa much needed improvement. About June 28 the government began sink- ing au artesian well here, and while writing this article I received notice that a magnifi- cent flow of water had been struck ata depth of about seven hundred feet. Upon inspecting same I found a beautiful column of x inches in diameter, rising into to the height of eight or ten feot, making this certainly the finest well in the state. The water is suitablo for drink- ing purposes and will be a boon to the ageucy. Lack of good water has always been a source of much annoyance here and the much needed and now never-failing sup- ply will be greatly appreciated by all. 1 hope this flow will be suficiently strong to vun our grist-mill, and if it should prove so will materially lessen the expense, as the price of coal is 80’ high as to render the operation of the mill expensive. 1am deeply impressed with tho necessity for white farmersat this agency. Indians employed in that capacity are a failure, A trial was maae of them by my predecessor, who was allowed four of them during the past season. I have traveled over tho reser- vation and visited some of the hived farmers, and found thatin some casos a_portion of their own ground had not beon plowed and a cnltivator never put into their fields this year, 1 havegiven this subject much thought and investigation, and I am'confident that ir each farmer on the reservation was appointed a committee of one, at a fair salary, to attend 10 his own farm the standard would not be raised in a noticeable dogree; but where there is some one to show them und give the encouragement, as has been the case here at the shops where employes are more directly under the eye of the agent, there has been greater improvement. 'Ihe money used for salaries would be more than saved to the gov- ernment, beside raising the standard of agri- culture. ‘The PPonca Indiavs located at this agency are fortunate in having good land. N early all of the land taken by the Indians is siti- ated along the Niobrara or Running Water river and Pouca creck, and lies wostly in broad and fertile val just undulating enough to have good drainage, Within the last month or six weeks allot- ments were wade tothe Ponea ludians in sev- eralty Some sixty of the Poucas, with Standing Bear at their head, ran away from their r- serve in the early part of last spring, against the wishes and advice of the department and agent. About one-half of them have now re- turned and promise to remaia and cultivate their furms. I feol that Standing Bear alone is responsible for this trouble. This move has subjected the deluded people who followed his guidance to great hardship and trouble, as nearly all, of their 1ssued prope: uban- doned their homes and houses, allowed their flelds to grow up in weeks, and through their tardiness in returning completely lost their homes that they had partially improved, and wero compelled to seluct land not so well situated and entirely unimproved. This state of affairs was brought about by their rofusal 1o return until the allotments were completed, and mauy of the Poncas who re- mained at home changed their selectious in order Lo get the lmprovements and in some they have disposed of all, or | !

Mike Walsh was arrested by Officor Tom Hayes as o yagrant, but as soon as Captain Mostyn set eyes on him he recognized him as James MeD-rmott, who is wanted at Denver for killing a policeman about two years azo, Walsh denied that he was the man wanted, although a photograph of McDermott sent here by the Denver authorities was declared by several to be that of the prisoner. In ad- dition to this his weight, height and scars were ulmost identically the same.

He came west in 1800 and originally located at Decatur, belioving that the railroad uld make that an objective point. He later moved to Omaha and enwaged in the livery business. In 1870 he moved his stable to Chicago, but was burned out in the great fire. Ho then went to Colorado Springs and finally returned to Omana. Ho was engazed in active business until about two year: for years his stable was located at the corner of Fftee: th and Dodge, on tho site of the new American National bank, and was a popular for many of the old setulers.
