ham county, being in the east ostensibly

A bill has been introduced by Hon. D
c. Haskell, in congress, the purpose Of
which is to remunerate citizens of the
United States, who were formerly mem
bers of the Confederate Peoria, Kas
kaskia, Wea and Piankeshaw Indians
but who, when they withdrew, which
they did some ten years ago, were no
placed upon fair footing with the
rest of the tribe, in a division
of its vested funds. 1t seems
that at that time the roster was increased
through some sharp practice on the par
of the authorities of the tribe by about
one hundred fraudulent names, and this
reduced in the ratio of that number to
the number of the tribe the amount ap.
portioned to each. This gave those who
left the tribe diminished share, while
1t increased the amount to the credit Of
those who continued with it. The OBJ
ject of the bill is to obtain redress fol
these citizens, their heirs, etc, who are
now largely resident IN Miami county
The claim set up involves over 500, 900
and Mr.. Haskell is giving it that atten
ton and advocacy which its importance
demands.
