Wm Gillman appeared and was duly sworn according to law and deposed as follows. I was present when the unclear?was receiving the cattle from Buckley June 30 70.One herd of nineteen hundred head of cattle had been transferred and another herd of twenty three hundred head was near but was not that day transferred but two days afterwards was. Early in the morning of the day of the second transfer some one hundred to one hundred and twenty head of cattle were driven from the herd already transferred down to the other herd and this number of cattle was counted the second time. Nine hundred fifty pounds was a unclear average of these cattle. The beef issued to the Indians was generally much less in quantity? than the orders called for. As I understand no yearling cattle were to be received yet some three hundred yearling were actually turned over to the Government and subsequently issued to the Indians.
