agency pimps, drunken doctors, and crooked agents  
The "agency ring" a criminal conspiracy made of the agent, trader, Fort Benton merchants and Texas cattlemen now controlled the Indians funds and reservation lands and resources.  The Indian Department Inspector reported "The Blackfeet Indians are active, intelligent, progressive people, anxious to learn and follow the ways of the whites.  They are unusually polite and sociable people, and as far as manners and politeness go, have very little to learn from their white brothers.  As is well known to the Department this is not an agricultural country, being adapted essentially to stock raising, and hay.  All attempts at agricultural will prove abortive.  It is but a waste of time and muscle to attempt agriculture in a country where the frost will kill at any season of the year grains or vegetables at both ends.  The Indians recognize this, and are devoting their time and energy to making hay and raising cattle." During the 1880's and 1890's the Blackfeet Indians were confined to the reduced reservation land base and introduced to the racketeering of the "agency ring," a criminal conspiracy of agency employees, government contractors, Texas cattlemen and "squaw men" who are ex-confederates married to Blackfeet women, and claiming reservation occupancy and treaty rights for themselves.  The criminals of the Blackfeet agency ring are pimps, crooked traders, drunken doctors, drug addicts and government employee thieves in every position and office robbing Indian treaty money.  Thieves were so commonplace around the Blackfeet agency that a church minister noted that, "The government and the Indians, were both, looked upon as legitimate prey by employees." Dr. Hughey was charged with public drunkenness, adultery, sexual abuse of Indian women and medical mal-practice.  The agent was called to the traders store to prevent Dr. Hughey, being drunk, from performing an operation on a boy's hand.  The agent found the doctor in the condition described hacking at the struggling boy's hand, and rescued the boy and had his hand dressed.  The agent later saw the doctor quite drunk amongst a number of Indians outside the stockade.  The Indians were making jeering remarks on his condition, and with the help of the clerk he was brought inside and confined to his room.  On the night of July, 26th, an Indian woman was concealed in the doctor's room, her husband and father came over the pickets, the gate being closed, and noisily using threats, demanded her.  She had been hurried from the doctor's room on the first alarm, but was taken from her hiding place and given to her husband.
