W. J. POLLOCK.
[Ponca Agency and Arkansas City.]
[Note: The name “Pollock” came
up numerous times in the early newspapers. I have put in every single one
that I found. I do not think that all of those listed were related to W.
J. Pollock. Most confusing! Paper had different ways of defining one of
the children of W. J. Pollock. At times it was “Oscar,” at times
“E. O.,” and at times “O. E.” I also believe that Chas.
Pollock mentioned several times was either a son or brother of W. J. Pollock.

U. S. Indian Inspector Pollock was in
town last Friday, en route for Osage and Kaw Agencies. We presume he will
get at the true inwardness of some of the reports that have been bandied
about lately by some of our contemporaries.

We are informed that U. S. Inspector Pollock
is now en route for the Pawnee Agency, to investigate matters generally.

VISITORS FROM THE NATION.
Quite a number of familiar faces from
the Territory were on our streets last Monday.
Among them were Mr. O. J. Woodard, of
Cheyenne Agency, with W. T. Darlington, J. A. Covington, in charge of Cheyennes
and Arapahos going to the Topeka Fair; Thomas and King Berry of Pawnee Agency;
Kendall Smith, wife and child, and Mrs. Beard from Ponca Agency, and Col.
Pollock, U. S. Indian Inspector; Jake Zalloweger, with his Indian wife and
babies, and twenty-five Indians attired in attractive style were the center
of attrac­tion. Among the Indians going to Topeka were Black Coyote,
Flaces, Tall Left Hand, Walter Matches, Doctor Little Chief, Flying Young,
Bull, Warrior, Watan, Lizzard, and fifteen others with ponies, tents, and
equipage enough to fill two freight cars. The Topeka party left yesterday
morning on the 5 o’clock train.

Wedding Bells at Ponca Agency.
We are often told that “the good
times are coming,” and we really begin to believe it, for every now
and again some of them, like angelic visitors, or peripatetic book-peddlers,
pop in and make us happy. It was our privilege to participate in one of
these peculiar pleasant occasions a few days ago at Ponca Agency, Indian
Territory.
It seems that on September 24th, ten years
ago, Dr. and Mrs. Minthorn were married, and both being high esteemed by
the good people of Ponca, and Nez Perce—to whom he ministers in medical
things—it was suggested that the tenth anniversary of that happy event
should be celebrated by a general jollification, and the musical tin
tin abulation of a tin wedding. So preparations were made, invitations
sent out, and at 3 p.m., of the 24th, about seventy well pleased guests
were gathered in and around the Doctor’s house. Among them were U.
S. Indian Inspector Pollock, Agent Miles and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Edmonson,
of Osage, Mr. and Mrs. Kellar and daughter, of Kaw, Rev. R. B. Lawyer and
wife, Mr. James Reuben, Chief Huses Kute and wife, from Nez Perces, together
with the Agent, missionary, principal Chiefs, and all the employees and
families at Ponca, making altogether, a pleasing picture as they strolled
over the lawn, or collected in groups, chatting and making themselves generally
agreeable. The bride and bridegroom, decorated in artistically designed
tin ornaments that caught and reflected the rays of the setting sun, mingled
in the merry crowd and received the congrat­ulations of their friends
with becoming bashfulness.
After partaking of a repast that for get
up, elegance, and quality reflected the highest credit on the ladies of
Ponca, the bridal presents were arranged in order and the guests invited
to look at them. At first sight it seemed as if we had stepped into a Ponca
branch of Charlie Sipes’ tin store, or that the Doctor had serious
intentions of competing with our worthy trade in the tin department, for
everything was there, from a tin whistle, to the most costly article usually
to be found in a well assorted stock of tinware.
After a few hours of delightful social
intercourse, the company separated, with many hearty wishes for the future
welfare of our worthy friends, and a hope that when their golden wedding
comes round we may be there to see. J. W.

Pollock, the U. S. Indian Inspector, is
a candidate for Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Arkansas City Traveler, September 20, 1882. Editorial.
Indian Inspector Pollock is investigating
northern Indian Agencies. Pollock draws the most pay for the least work
of any man in the service, and still he wants to be commissioner of Indian
Affairs.
Arkansas City Traveler, November 8, 1882. [Editorial.]
Col. Wm. Pollock, U. S. Indian Inspector,
has been suspended for disobedience to orders issued from the Department,
and in defense of his course comes out in a long letter to the Chicago
Times, which we think will tend more to his detriment than his good
in the future.
Oscar Pollock mentioned was a son of W.
J. Pollock.

Wedding Chimes.
The usual quietude of Ponca Agency was
broken on Thanksgiv­ing evening, Thursday, November 30, 1882, by the
inpouring of the official residents of the Agencies to attend and celebrate
the grand event of the season: The wedding of Miss Florence A. Woodin, of
Ponca, to Lester D. Davis, Superintendent of the Pawnee School, of Pawnee.
The hour of the wedding was announced by the ringing of the school bell,
which immediately called forth to the Agency Mansion a large assemblage
of the friends and relatives of the bride and groom. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Jas. Wilson, of Pawnee, the sister and brother of the bride
being bridesmaid and groomsman, after which the happy pair were the recipients
of heartfelt congratulations and many beauti­ful and costly presents
from their many friends.
The bridal party then adjourned to the
school building, where they engaged in dancing to most excellent music furnished
by the Arkansas City band, ably assisted by Mr. Oscar Pollock, under whose
control the dancing was conducted.
The ladies of the Agency deserve the highest
credit for their display in the supper room, the tables being laid with
a large variety of refreshments, which can never be surpassed and are seldom
equaled.
At midnight the bride and groom returned
to Pawnee, their future home, after which the guests continued the festivities
until the small hours of the morning compelled them to disperse.
Among the noted guests were Mr. and Mrs.
H. H. Arthur, Mr. and Mrs. L. E. Woodin, Jr., Otoe, Dr. Woodward and wife,
Dr. D. Dunn and wife, Oakland, Mr. and Mrs. H. W. Nelson and mother, Oakland,
Mr. and Mrs. John Walker, Otoe, Mr. Powell and lady, Mr. P. Fouts and lady,
Mr. Wilson and lady, Mr. and Mrs. Kendall Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. L. Beard,
Mr. and Mrs. Joe. Sherburne.
The many friends of the happy pair in
Arkansas City extend their best wishes for their future happiness while
the TRAVELER office, in returning thanks for a bountiful supply of wedding
cake can only murmur, “May every storm cloud pass them by, and naught
but the gentle zephyrs of prosperity ever ruffle the waves of their wedded
life.”
Arkansas City Traveler, January 10, 1883.
Indian Inspector Pollock has worked his
way back into the Indian service again. He was suspended for several months.
Arkansas City Traveler, July 25, 1883.
Col. Pollock came up last week from his
stock ranch, 12 miles northeast of Ponca Agency, on the east side of the
Arkansas River (one of the best ranges in the Territory). The Colonel looked
as though he had been roughing it, and makes a first-rate looking cowboy.

Col. Pollock was in the city last week.
[FLORER & POLLOCK: LEASE WITH OSAGE.]
Arkansas City Traveler, October 10, 1883.
Messrs. Florer & Pollock have just
completed arrangements with the tribe of Osage Indians, by which they lease
over 100,000 acres of good grazing ground in the Osage Nation for a term
of ten years, for a yearly consideration of three thousand dollars. We are
glad to note this fact, for while it is a good thing for the gentlemen,
it is equally good for the Indians, who thus realize a handsome profit from
otherwise waste land.
Note that next item reflects a reduction
in acres leased by Florer & Pollock...
[CATTLE LEASES WITH INDIANS.]
Arkansas City Traveler, January 9, 1884.
As was stated in last week’s Chief,
Hon. Eli Titus visited Sedan for the purpose of closing the contract
for a lease of 81,800 acres of land in the territory. There were present
at the meeting a number of Indian chiefs and the following cattle kings
of Southern Kansas, who leased the number of acres set opposite their names.
Hewins & Titus, of this place, leased 1,800 acres more than any of the
other firms.
Hewins & Titus: 81,800 acres.
Wait, King, and Slaughter: 48,080 acres.
John P. Soderstrom: 65,000 acres.
Carpenter & Leahy: 50,000 acres.
Florer & Pollock: 75,000 acres.
Crane and Larimer: 80,000 acres.
The price paid per acre is three cents
per year, the leases running ten years. The contract for fencing the land
has been let, and it will be under fence next April. Grenola Chief.
Arkansas City Traveler, January 16, 1884.
W. J. Pollock, a prominent Territory stock
man, was in the city a few days this week.
Note that paper has now made Pollock a
“Major” rather than a “Colonel.”

Major W. J. Pollock was in our city the
latter part of last week. The gentleman reports the late storm as having
been the most severe upon stock of any during the winter.

At the meeting of the Cherokee Strip Live
Stock Association at Caldwell, last week, the lessees of the Osage, Ponca,
and Nez Perce reservations met at the Southwestern Hotel and organized the
Osage Live Stock Association. Mr. Crane, of Independence, was chosen president

This association will work in harmony
with other organizations of the same kind, yet it shall be a distinctive
body. It is their intention to admit the Indian cattle owners into membership,
giving them all the benefits and protection enjoyed by their white brethren.
Nothing further than an organization was accomplished at this meeting, when
they adjourned to meet again on Saturday, May 29, at Osage Agency. The men
comprising this association are each and all large cattle owners, are men
of influence and wealth, of enterprise and business acumen, and we doubt
not that the Osage Live Stock Association will soon rank as high and favorably
as does its sister, the Cherokee Strip Live Stock Association. Success to
it.
