1.-THE following illustration was
given by Say-cos-e-gay, a Grand
Medicine priest, relative to the
powers which were supposed to be
vested in the Gee-sah- -ke-we-nipe-
wug (heavenly spirits) to infict
punishment upon those who were
guilty Of any misdeeds against any
members Of their tribe.]
''When I was young man I
had occasion to visit an Indian
village on Puckagoma lake, I was
accompanied by my father and
several other Indians belonging
to Mile Lac. In those days I in
dulged considerably in the Indian
moccasin game, and among other
things which I won was a flint
lock gun. It seemed however, that
the gun did not belong to the man
from whom I had won it, but to a
powerful Gee-sah-ke-we-nine who
had loaned it to this man. After
stay of several days at this WILL
age we started for home. About
an hour after our arrival at the
first encampment which we made
after leaving the village, l kept
hearing the tingling Of bells such
as are used to ornament a Gee-sah-
cam, at the same time I began to
feel dizzy sensation, I said to my
companions, do you hear those
bells, they seem to be a great dis
tance away yet I hear them dis
tinctly.'' My father Immediately
said some evil would occur to me,
and that l should have painted my
face black before leaving the will
age to guard against evil spirits.
While my father was talking a
voice whispered a message to me,
in which I was invited to attend a
council Of the spirits, I was very
reluctant about accepting this in
vitation, but some invisible power
seemed to control me. I saw at a
great distance off an opening
which seemed brilliantly lighted,

upon my arrival there I found the
opening to be the top of a Gee.sah-

"a I'1 IN thos Ashland z Press, commeat-
hg on the life Of the late Mr.. Bell,
Who was well and favorably known
to many Of the old settlers here,
the author refers to Mr.. Bells
connection and endeavors to ad-
just ceitain claims Of long stand
ing between the Government and
the Chippewa Indians and Of his
shameful treatment at the hands
of Ex-Conmissioner Dole, whose
raacible and cowardly conduct is
yet fresh il the memory of the
people Of this reservation and ap-
propos Of which we comment &C.
cordingly.
In the year 1865, and during
Lincoln's administration, Mr.. Bell
companied by eighteen princi-
pal chiefs Of the Lake Superior
Chippewas, went, to Washington
to try and get the Government to
pay a deficiency claimed by the
Indians. The delegation proceed
ed on snow shoes from La Point,
all the way to Chippewa Falls,
from whence they were conveyed
by teams to Sparta, and from Spar
ia, for the. balance Of the trip,
proceeded by rail. When the del
egation arrived in Washington
three street cars were chartered
to transport the chiefs to the Office
Of Indian Commissioner Dole, In.
dian agent Webb Of the La Point
agency, was with the commission.
er when Mr.. Bell and the delega-
tion arrived. Commissioner Dole
spoke disparagingly, saying that
they had come on a useless under.
taking. Mr.. Bell insisted that an
audience with the President be
granted, speaking of two former
unsuccessful attempts of these
same Indian chiefs to see and con.
fer with the President. Finally an
audience with President Lincoln
was had, and Dole was instructed
BY the President to allow every
effort to be exerted, for the just
settlement Of the Indian claims.
The Indians had been variously
defrauded. One principal griev.
ance was the payment of their
dues in greenbacks which should
have been paid in gold, the differ.
ence amounting to more than hall
Of the value Of the original dues,
Mr.. Bell through the Kindness and
fairness Of the President, received
many courtesies and favors which
Com. Dole would gladly have seen
otherwise. In fact the work wa.

1.-THE President was assassinated,
but when Mr.. Bell went to the
Office Of Indian affairs on the fol,
lowing Monday he was met with q
blunt refusal Of further assistance

from that office, and was advised
togo back home. Mr.. Bell had
]spent six months in ferreting out
the crooked transactions Of the
Indian agents in relation to The
Chippewa Indians. and now his
work was declared useless BY The
commissioner and he was sent
home. The delegation Of chiefs

Should Not Be Disturbed.

Gov William NJ Guy, of the Chicka-
saw Nation, Ind. T., was in the city yes
terlay, but left last night for Washington.
His mission Mt the national capital is to
lend his knowledge and infatnce to pre-
vent congressional legislation in any way
affecting the present condition OF affairs
and privileges in the Territory. The Gov
ernor is a man apparently fifty years Of
age, intelligent and fine looking, and pre-
pared to give information in clear and
iotciblc manner. He has been absent
from home several days, most Of which he
passed among relatives and friends in Mar
shall county and north Mississippi, where
he was born, reared and educated. 1t is
his first visit in six or seven years, and he
found much TO entertain him and provoke
interesting study. Gov. Guy was appoint
cd little over year ago, and has brought
all his executive abilities and early school
advantages into requisition in making the
Chickasilws peaceful and industrious ma
ton. AS the tribe has long been inclined
that way, and he being one OF them, this
was not such q difficult task as the settle
ment OF the Indian question generally.
An APPEAL reporter met the Governor
in front OF the Peabody hotel yesterday,
in conversation with his old friend and
school-mate, Mr.. Thomas p. Steger. An
