I Witness: DAIN'L T. WELLS, Captailz, Eighth Infaatry. Report was thereupon made to the Department September 11,1895, inclosing a copy of the above af7idavits. As shown by Article I, heretofore quoted, of the treaty of these Indians with the United States, coneluded July 3,1868 (15 Stats., G73), this Qovernment is bound, under the said treaty provisions, to cause the offenders' arrest and punishment according to the laws of the Uuited States, and also to reimburse the injured persons for loss sus- . trained. The proof necessary, as stipulated in the said Article I, is now before the Department, and, in the opinion of this office, no means should be left untried and no efforts be spared by the Department to the end tha.t the treaty provisions with these Indians may be faith-fully carried out and ,good faith kept with them on the part of the Government. In view of the above, and of the fact that these Indians are still sullen and very much dissatisfied with the action already had in the case, and urge that the guilty whites be punished, it was submitted in my said report of September 11,1895, whether or not something could . be clone by the Departmen* of Justice toward punishing the offenders. |
