That his boy George, then took sick in the spring of the year, and he had no other recourse, as the work, which is practically the only work that they have to do on the reclamation project had not started yet, and that he was again refused by the superintendent and his boy died in June. That his oldest boy, Mike, was the last to be taken down by sickness, that he made a final appeal to the superintendent for help, that his child might be saved and that he was refused and his son died as a result of lack of food. He further stated the conditions became so bad that they were forced to eat squirrels, and muskrats, and that on one occasion they were driven by hunger to cook and eat a piece of rawhide they had found about the house.

Many Tail Feathers stated in the month of January, 1913; “My little girl, eleven years old was in a very weak condition as a result of a prolonged sickness of three or four months and one day she told me she had an appetite for oatmeal and requested me to get some for her. I went to Supt. McFatridge and stated the wish of my child, knowing it could be had, as the same was on hand in the commissary for that purpose, but he referred me to the agency doctor. I thereupon went to the agency doctor and told him that Supt. McFatridge had sent me to him and also for what reason. The agency doctor became very indignant and told me he was not buying any kind of provisions for any Indians. I explained to him that I did not expect him to do anything of that kind, but that the oat meal could be had from the commissary and asked him to give me an order for same. I was refused, however, by him and I went home and got the only animal I had, which was a yearling colt, and sold him for ten dollars, and it was in this way that I managed to gratify the wish of my little child. My child died during the month of February, her death being hastened by the lack of food and proper nourishment.”

Wolf Eagle is an old Indian, sixty years old, and for some time past his eyesight has been very poor and he has been reduced, because of his inability to perform any labor, to destitute circumstances. He has repeatedly appealed to Supt. McFatridge for a set of harness, so that he could be equipped to perform some labor on the ditch or canal, which was to be constructed to carry reservation waters to settlers in northern Montana.
