An Indian Problem.


CAN A TRIBE BE ExTRADITED FROM THE
UNITED STATES TO CANADA FOR RoBBERIEs
ACROSS THE BORDER?
The Indian agent at the Fort Belknap agency,
on the northern border of Montana, reported
to the Indian Office some time ago that a large
number of Cree Indians, refugees from Big
Bears tribes, have crossed the line into the
Fort Belknap reservation. They brought with
them quantity of silver ware, ladies' wearing
apparel and other loot supposed to have been
captured In marauding expeditions in the
BRUSH possessions
promptly expelled. The matter was referred
by the Interior department to the State depart
ment, which has decided that the Indians can
not be expelled, as proposed, or sent over the
line without extraditiOn proceedings. The State
department is of the opinion that to eXpel the
into the hands of the British authorities, would
be case of kidnapping. The question arises
now whether governor can extradite whole
tribe of Indians.

Henry county, KY, shouted loud "Hellov'

magistrate, who came out to the street with a
lantern, and asked to know what was wanted.
The young gentleman and young lady were
both seated on the same horse, and were
drenched with the rain, which had been tall
ing tor several hours. EIkinS said that they
wanted to be married at once, and that the
ceremony would have to be hurried, as the IA

pursuit of them.
The Justice asked the couple to show their
license, which was done, and then invited them
| to come into the house, where the ceremony
could be performed. This the couple refused,
on the ground of not having sufficient time,
and asked, instead, to be married then and
there on horseback.
The squire consented after some hesitation,
and called to Col VIM. Harden, who happened
to be passing at the time, to hold an umbrella
over the heads Of the two while the service
could be performed. The ceremony was brief,
and at the conclusion of it the groom remu.
nerated the services of the squire with liberal
sum, when the couple rode away The bride
was young and very pretty, while the husband
looked like prosperous and well-to-do young
