wronging the poor Indian: Last Tuesday an
Indian sold some wood to one of our citizens
and was rendered a check on the Canning
City bank in payment. Lo looked at the
paper long time with doubtful expression
on his countenance, and then handed it
back with the remark, ''wanicha, mubze-
scOw," following it up with some choice In
dian remarks expressive OF doubts as to the
wuite mans good intention, and the belief
that he had been swindled An Interpreter
was sent for and the check system was ex-
planned to the Indian, who started for the
bank, but whose suspicious OF fraud were
not wholly allayed till the muzza-scow
(money) was counted out before him. AM
other load Of wood was sold and another
check given which proving good so popular
lied that novel method with Lo that the man
who has no bank check book has no show in
buying from this commercial people, and
check for .35 or 1.5O will draw load of
wood past the mau who has two silver dol
lars in his hand.
