Indian" mc;:itiorod in your telegrajn received absolutely fair treatment as wac The case with all Indians. In somo canes Indiana lost very email portions of cultivated land owiv.g to imps nr.i.: ill ty of making allotments' by meoets and bounds. Y/hore Indians claimed mere than their share of land, remainder of laud if good was allot!nd to other Indians, chiefly relatives. I an ready to refute ?.nd dis •opove any statement that injustice wag don? to Indiann by Allotting Commission and only desire opportunity o'c do L;O. Capt. -Tohneon's information was largely based on council hero with Indians in hr'.nb complaints were iurti- - gated by a former discharged employee with whom yen arc familiar. Request. that yon insist on fair treatment for members of Commission. I do net think Secretary or Ccjshlsfcione will stand for a one sided investigation. r* r* ' T .. i ? IJ Cr J .a..'. J. . |
