The full amount of $8,500,000 will be paid to the Indians on a per capita basis. There is confusion about a $1,500,000 figure, but the Department of the Interior is working to pay out the full amount as soon as possible. The document also mentions bad weather, a reunion, and a friendly bet. Additionally, there is mention of efforts to settle the matter and support for the welfare of the Indians.
