him, he was again forced to give way, and
returned down the river.
On the 18th Of September, 1915, a
treaty was made between the United
States commissioners, William Clark, Min
ian Edwards and Augusta Choteau, and a
party of chiefs and warriors of that por-
ton of the Sank tribe which was freddy
to the United States, by which they as
scented to the treaty of 1904.
On the following day treaty was af-
fected between the same commissioners
and the chiefs of the Fox tribe, at Portage
des Sioux. The fourth article of this treaty
also assents to the treaty of 1904, and is in
the following words:
1.-THE said Fox tribe or nation do hereby assent
to recognize re-stablish and confirm the treaty OF
Saint Louis, which was concluded on the 3rd of
November 1884, to the full extent of their interest
in the same, as well as all other contracts and
agreements between the parties"
The British Band did not sign either of
these treaties.
After the close of the war nearly all the
Indian tribes, except the British Band,
signed the treaty of peace. This Band
seems to have been very hostile to our
government, and, melted by British agents,
committed many bloody outrages upon
our western frontier.
Black Hawk was at the siege of Fort
Meigs,
In 1915 Keokuk first obtained his repu-
tation as a warrior at the battle of the
Sink Hole, where he commanded the
Sauks.
1t has been said by some that these In
dams were ill treated by the Americans.
This may have been the case tosa certain
extent but they, after they were fully
aware that peace existed, still persisted
in using their scalping knife against wo
men and children. and after entering into
two solemn treaties, ceding their land t
the United States. denied having entered
into such treaties and violated them. The
British Band entered into a treaty with the
| United States on the 18th of May, 1916
by which
| 1.-The Sauks of Rock river and the adjacen
country( the British Band,) do hereby unCondition

| America and the United TRIBES of Sauks and Foxes
which was concluded at st. Louis on the Bird OF
| November 1904 as we'll as all other contracts auI
| agreements heretofore made between the Saul
| tribe and the United States"
should have stated:that these Indians
even as late as the spring Of 1916, still con
tinued their depredations. They attacked
the garrison at Prairie du Chen and cap
tured it. The same spring they attacked
a number Of boats that were ascending
the Mississippi river, captured one o
them, and cruelty butchered the greater
portion of the crew. Whether this was
right or not, | leave the reader to decide

of the treaty just referred to. CT the 18th

THE NEW YORK "No LICENSE Law
Excitement Among the Liquor Dealers o
Its swift and Unexpected enforcement.

NEW YORK, Dec. There was great conster
nation last evening in the camp OF The liquor
Dealers The excitement began at 6 O'Clock,
when the saloons were entered by the blue
coated officers ofthe law and licenses inquired
for. If none were shown the proprieto were
informed that they must close up their bars.
and that IL after such warning they were seen
selling liquors they would be promptly taken
into custody.
OF course very few licenses were presented.
and receipts for deposits on applications for
licenses we're of no use whatever. The raid was
not confined to any particular section OF the
city nor to any particular class OF saloons. Ho-
tells only were unmolested. but all over town
the keepers of saloons, from the lowest grade
to the highest, were called upon to cease busi-
ness.
In the majority Of instances the demand was
tacitly complied with, but in many cases Efforts
we're made to evade the vigilance OF the police.
and numerous arrests resulted. Such an attack
along the whole line was not at all expected by
the dealers or drinkers.
The special police orders published yester-
day denoted an intention OF strict enforcement
Of the Sunday prohibition. but that the no Ii
cense law should find such sudden execution
last night was little expected.
Mayor Ely called this afternoon upon Com
missioner Erhardt in reference to the excise
raids, and was told that, though he personally
desired the captain should diseri inmate in
making arrests. he could not officially ak it.
All laws on the statute book were to be carried
out'until repealed.
The Excise Board granted but five licenses
and received 81 applications. which are to be
acted upon in due time.

Board of Excise office the excitement was Mt its
height long before the doors were opened. A
crowd Of men and women formed in line. wait
ing an opportunity to see the commissioners
Most OF these people were saloon keepers who
never yet applied for q license. and who be-
came alarmed at the action of the police.
When the doors we're opened the crowd filed
the halls and offices. Upon the arrival of the
comm ssinners n rush for applications was
made, and the board are now issuing licenses.
The liquor dealers who were arrested last
night were brought before various police JUS
tices this morning. Some of them we're fined
and others discharged for want of evidence that
they had violated the law.
The Oyer and Terminer grand jury brought
In presentment this afternoon In which they
condemn the granting of hotel licenses. with.
out proper investigation. and the granting OF
certificates which IRE used as licenses. They
cay the Excise Board seem to be mostly anx-
ious to get In money. They recommend that
