Office of the Supt’d’cy of Ind. Affs. St Louis
Upon entering upon the duties of Supt of Ind. Affs. Governor of the Territory of Missouri I was informed by Genl. Benj. Howard, who then commanded the Western Department, that in June 1812, the principal chiefs of the Sack & Fox nation visited him, & offered the services of their nation to the U. States, in the War then carried on by the British & certain Indians, against the U S. In answer to Genl. Howards refusal to accept their services, the Chiefs expressed much regret, & observed that when war was all around, it was impossible to restrain the braves from taking part, that the preferred the American side, but as the Americans would not suffer them, to join them in the War, they must go & Join the British who had invited them to do so. Without loss of time I sent an Agt after the Sacks & Foxes, inviting them all to meet me in council at Portage des Sioux on the [29th] Sept 1813. In that council the Sacs & Foxes agreed not to join either party in the War & to proceed agreeably to my wish to the S. side of the Missouri river, & remain on the lands of the U.S. outside of the Settlement & near the Osages during the contest. In 1814 a part of the Friendly Sacs, became restless in their peaceful situation & determined to return to their old village – more than half of that nation took their families beyond the Settlements, returned & attempted to rob the U. S. Factory on the Missouri, which was defended by the Friendly part of that nation, which remaind South of the Mo. river, failing in their attempt on the factory, they scatter’d & robbed the upper Settlements on the Missouri & returned to their Old village on Rocky river & immediately after commenced a destructive warfare, against the Settlements of the Ter. & continued it until about June or July 1815. The Sacs in conformity with the 2d & 3d Articles of their Treaty ent’d into the 13th of May 1816, delivd up 22 horses, which they stole after they were notified of the Treaty of peace with Great Britain. The commissioners wrote to the Secretary of War the 15th July 1816, that the chiefs of that tribe, alledged that many of the horses, were dead, and the other property lost or destroyd & that they had surrendered all that it was in their power to return. The acting Secry of War in answer to the commiss’r by letter of the 13th July 1816, states that their communications had been received & laid before the President, & that he was instructed to inform them they were authorised to accept of the Property, which had been deliverd by the Sacs of Rox River, of the Presidents instructions, that they should accept of the property deliverd up by the Sacs, as a fulfillment on their part, of those stipulations in the Treaty relative to the delivery of the property.
Regular demand has been made by me for compensation for property taken in 1814, also in 1815, which have not been complied with, the Chiefs alledging that many of the horses were dead & the other property either destroyd or dispersed in such a manner that they could not collect it. In 1820 they delivered up 4 horses stolen from Traders on the Missouri and 37 very indifferent horses to pay for all they had taken & not previously restored I refused to take such of the horses as were not taken from the Claimants. The Chiefs requested that the horses should be sold & the money arising from the sale, paid for such horses, as was proved to have been taken by them. Those 37 horses were sold at Public Sale for $339.75 & the amount paid to several persons whose claims have been admitted since by the Honble Secretary of War. I must observe that for nearly all the property claimed in this Estimate, regular demands have been made by myself either as Indian Agent, or Superintendent of Indian Affs to the Tribe to which the aggressors belong. Many horses as well as other property, have been delived up or paid for at different times, which are not charged in the foregoing claims.

No. 7. See deposition of Jos. Charleville & Thorit Elkins.
David Bensleys claim is proved by Wm. Bratten, who is entitled to credit; & as it has been ascertained that the Indian refused to give up the Mare, the claim should, in my opinion, be allowed, and a deduction made from the next years annuity, due the Osage
Francis Ducatres claim against the Kansas Nation is proved by Peer Reuch & Lewis Uno - & the Chief has acknowledged that the two horses were taken & not returned: - a deduction should be made from their ann.:
Saml. Mallory’s claim against the Pottowattomies for cash, Flour, Whisky &c. amounting to $114.75 is proved by the dep. of W. Nicholas, Simon Kelsey & Norman Leoville: - the prices charged for the articles are high; - no annuity is due the Pottowattomies. Yet a reasonable amount should be paid to Mr. Mallory. As relates to the Loss of crop, & the use of his ferry &c. I must refer you to the accompanying Report of the Sub Agent & the Copy of a Petition from the people of that quarter to their Governor
Henry Connollys claim against the Kansas is Supported by the corroborating testimony of Absalom Mail & Reuben Collins in connection with the acknowledgment of the Chief. – The claim should, in my opinion, be allowed for $75 and deducted from the Kansas annuity.
James Blair’s claim for a Yoke of Oxen taken from him the 27th July 1827 by the Winnebagoes, appears sufficiently proved – but as that Tribe does not receive annuities, & the oxen were taken within the Indian Country, reference is made to the Department for decision.
Thos. Patterson’s claim against the Delawares for a mare & Colt taken within the Settlements in May 1826, is proved by John S. Clark. – The Indians having acknowledged the theft, the account should in my opinion, be allowed for $120. & deducted from their annuity.
Louis Guitards claim against the Delawares for a Timber destroyed on his Land in this county, is sufficiently substantiated, & the allowance $25. is recommended.

In the case of R. Brannin, being for property taken within the Indian country, The War Dept: decides that it is not provided for by the Laws of Intercourse, but as Mr. Brannin in the Osage Nation for the benefit of the Indians, and in pursuance of a Treaty Stipulation, it appears just that the Osages should pay the claim, if the property was actually taken or destroyed by them. The claim is therefore referred to you to afford him an opportunity of making an effort to get the Indians to settle it, in which you are requested to afford him all the aid you can, with propriety.
The claims numbered from 10 to 2, and also those lettered Q & R, are for property taken or destroyed by the Osage Tribes within their reservation, from the Agriculturists, Blacksmith & others, who have been employed under Treaty stipulations, or by the Agent, who resided near those Tribes, and no compensation received from the Osages for the said property.
