Sir:
Your letter of June 29th, just receired. In reply
will say that about eight days ago, our Tanner at White Clay station
eighteen miles north of agency reported that 20 or 25 Indians had
arrlred that morning from Wyoming or Montana and that they were
without passes. The Farmer was Instructed to inform the Indiana
that they would not he allowed to remain on the reserraton unless
they secured permission by wire from their Agent. The Indians
left the station and nothing more was heard about the matter until
your letter reached me.
As near aa I can learn these Indians are still on the
reaerration at a point about 35 miles north of the Agency. A squad
of police were sent out this morning to round them up and head them
for home. Ho doubt thiB bunch of Indians are utes, altho they
claimed to be from Wyoming. No communication has been receired
from the Indian Office in regard to the matter.
Respectfully.
