Inspector Miller informed the Indian Office that he did not think the charges were valid as only Dr. Jenkins testified to them, although he admitted Dr. Jenkins was the only one at the agency qualified to discuss Steell’s physical health and morphine addiction.

Chief White Calf was permitted to travel to Washington by Agent Steell, and praised Steell for his approval of the trip, but complained about the continuing white stockmen’s cattle trespass on the reservation: “We wish you would give us some key there to lock up the reservation; we think Congress or somebody else will cut this reservation down again. We want to lock it, so nobody can get in there. There have been stock people running their stock cattle on our reservation, and they get mixed up with ours, and we don’t like that. Our stock frequently get mixed up with other parties living off the reservation. We don’t care much about herding any one else’s stock but our own. We haven’t much more land than we can utilize ourselves.”

Bear Chief said “The Piegans wish to keep our own ground. It is not large now. We ask you to keep the envious whites away. The whites are always bothering us. They drive their herds on to our land and steal our grass. We wish this to cease. Did you tell our agent that he might graze his herd of cattle on our land? He has some there. He has no Indian blood in his veins. If his cattle are allowed to remain there, other white men will claim the same right.” He listed his complaints about the quality of the annuity goods, the missing sawmill, theft of their wagons and dishonesty of the agency clerks. He told of the abuses of the Great Northern Railroad taking hay, timber, gravel, coal, and causing prairie fires and complained of the stupidity of the Inspectors sent to the reservation: “They seem to be regular old women. That is why we don’t talk much to them.”
