<? Before these matters became known the case dcvel
Bped stlll furthor. The South C*arollnlan wanted a

to the Pension Offlee personated Sniith, for that was the
loutn Carollnian's name, before tho Civll Servlce Corn
nisaion. The aubatltuta pa<*ed a good examination,
Hid when Smlth's name was diawn from the ellp.ble
__t, Smlth himself put ln an appearance. The photo
sranh of Mr. Jackson. who was" the 1*8888 Ofllco
clerk, not being on the papers, there was no way in
ahlch to identlfy Smlth. so ho got the appolntment.
-As soon as Secrctary Noble was aware of these
Ihlngs he promptly diseharped Smlth, Jack-oti and a
?lerk in the Indlan Bureau who was ln some raanner
roncerncd in the affair. Then the Secrctary called
upon Green B. Raum, jr., to briiu? forth his radgnattoa.

he said he would not attempt to Intorfere ln his son s

a blll was passed givlng tho President authority to

was Btea more lmportant, tba Yellowstone Natlonal

to liu-reaso the slae of the reservatwn at least one

The fact la, the autborltle* liere say, ttiat the post

the poatroe-ter to ask for Jnatrnctlons from the De
