effect that the writer thereof had heard that the
Indians in all parts of Minnesota had become
so troublesome that the inhabitants had called
upon the general government for aid to pro-
tect them from the savages; and that in the
small towns OF the Territory, the citizens were
organizing themselves and had threatened to
shoot down all such intruders. 1t is needless
to contradict any such reports As the above for
the benefit Of the Inhabitants of the Territory.

States, who have an idel Of emf grating to this
