The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.151

Kicks were made to Washington D.C., and inspectors would be sent from there to Browning. This Inspector would be met at the depot by the Agency cars and he would be dined and toasted by Campbell and his pets. Mr. Inspector would be motored out to see a prosperous looking rancher on Milk River (a handy tool of the sheepmen) but Mr. Inspector does not know that this ranch is mortgaged beyond redemption, that the cattle and sheep seen grazing on the hillsides belongs to the Fryes, but Mr. Inspector does not have to know that. The next day he motors out to Heart Butte district to look at the ranch of another pet, who has new machinery, ten or fifteen head of dirty looking sheep laying around the door yard, a five acre field of frosted wheat, and plenty of grub (sent by the Office the day before). A picnic would be held by the visiting on the banks of a mountain stream covered with a luxurious growth of wild grasses and flowers, the result of long cold winters and deep snows, but the Inspector does not think of that.
