Lao Court 0reiYe Pine Contracts.

In our issue Of Jan. Z, we pub.
lished communication from Lac
Court Oreille, Wis, under the
above head. This week we pub
lsh continuation Of Wi-pe-ta's
statements, developing some more
OF the oft repeated deviltry in
dulged in by the xxx grade
members Of that sweet-scented
family known as Indian agents.
''On Sunday morning early, num-
Der Of Indians eager to catch the
morning worm, wished to be informed
whether agent Mahan really meant to
remain over Sunday as he had prom
ised to do They were informed that
there was no reason to doubt the
agents word. The Indians commit
ting themselves by stating that they
had held council among themselves
during the night, in which it was re-
solved that Mahan be requested to &C
company them to the logging camps
on Monday morning and order the
white men at the camps to desist from
any further trespass and leave the
reservation This state of affairs was
made known to Mahan at the break
fast table. AS soon as breakfast was.
over, (then it was that mysterious
and most suspicious move was made
by Mahan ordering the team to be
hitched up at once, and in a short
space of time) wheels were rattling
over the road in the direction of Rice
Lake. On reaching one of Knapp,
Stout & Co. s camps on the Shetek,
halt was made and rest taken until
the following Monday. In due course
of time St Paul was reached where
Mahan remained for several days, his
attendant travelling on to Duluth.
During Mahan's stay in Duluth, in
answer to inquiries made to him rela-
tive to logging matters at Court Ore
lille, he made statement that mo log
ging was being done, and that assur-
ances had been made py Smith, Rust
& Co. that no more would be done on
the strength of the contract or other
wise However on the 10th day of
February following the events above
related, an employe of the agency was
dispatched to Court Oreille by Mahan
with written instructions from the
Department to the effect that no more
logs OF timber of any kind be cut on
the reservation The order was IN
NEEDED and once more many million
feet Of timber was cut and f1oated
down the river that season, while ap-
parently no efforts ere ever made by
the authorities OF the great Guardian
OF the weak for any realization Of
recompense whatever!
Readers: Is it natural to suppose
that Mahan was as ignorant of the
workings at Court Oreille as he feign-
ed to be when he made the above
statement? Was he not in constant
communication with the farmer at
that place! Was it not the duty Of
the farmer to report matters and con-
dition Of affairs occurring on the res
ervation? Or was it a self-imposed |
on-jee-tah that he should be silent in
the matter? wI-PE-TE.

CLoQUET, Minn.,
Jan'y IS, 1888.
Dear Friend
The agent has finally arrived and
with him the man from Oshkosh,
but not in the least is he the man
from Oshkosh as was expected of him.
Ills sole care, aim, and anxiety was to
sign his name on the papers so Often
slve to to us, his efforts being to
place on the list as many outsiders
as he could. Forseeing the course he
was going to pursue, we held coun-
Gil in which every man resolved to
stand up for his rights. X
so then on the day following his arri-
val in Cloquet he came on the reser-
vatlon, and as he was to commence
business at once, he was told that this
business should not proceed without
the presence of the head chief. The
reply to this was, that in Washing
ton the chiefs were never more to be
heard, that hereafter the Indians were
to be consulted without Chiefs They
had proceeded to business before nv
father and myself had arrived. Sure
enough, as we had forseen, efforts
were then being made to find pretext
to bring in outsiders. Especially in
the case of people who had been re-
jected at the Courte Oreille reserva-
ton. At this pointI jumped up and
related of the many promises which
had been made to the Indians which
had never been fulfilled, Of the many
protestations against wrongs which
had never been needed, etc., and now
for once we were determined to have
something to say in the matter and
our rights respected but all this
plea and talk availed nothing. At
this juncture reached and grasped
the papers (list Of applicants made by
the farmer in charge) which lay on
the table, determined for once to have
something to say in the disposition of
our property, the agent also jumped
up and a confusion followed, during
the melee which followed the. papers
were snatched out of my hands by
parties (whom we had decided had no
tight to any of our property and re-
turned to the agent. Last evening
another meeting was held and to
which was called but I refused to
attend, neither do wish again to take
part in such contemplate proceed
ings.'' BE-TA-wAsH.
The above letter was written in
Chippewa and was translated for
our columns.
Whilst we cannot countenance
violence on any occasion, we ad-
mire the magnanimous courage of
the man, who notwithstanding he
may be left alone-deserted. dares
to stand in the breach as a shield,
when the infamous hand of un-
scrupulous arrogance is raised and
would fain strangle Justice.
And we trust that if a delega-
tion Of these Indians go to Wash
ington, they may be granted a fair
and impartial hearing by the au-
thorities, and such endeavors be
made looking toward a reparation
Of wrongs as the gravity Of their
grievances may be deserving and
worthy.
