Special to the Globe.
DULUTH, March 24.-AS little atten
ton was paid to the recent order from
the government to stop all timber cat
ting on the Cloquet reservation, and
complaints still poured into Washing
ton. this week Thursday, it is alleged,
government agent arrived at ClOquet.
and now the indiscriminate cutting bids
fair to stop. Col. Pat Hines, one OF the
most industrious workers on the reser-
walton, was seen at the Windsor hotel
here last night,an made no secret OF the
fact that he had been cutting timber
and would continue to cut it, nOtWlth-
standing the peremptOry order from
headquarters. Col. Hines. asked about
the accusations against Indian Agent
Gregory, says the trouble is all what he
calls "a squaw row." that is, one man
complains because he is not getting SO
much of good thing as someone else,
and further, Col. Hines said that the
order from headquarters to stop cutting
altogether was just what the persons
who made the complaint did not want.
They wanted other people restricted,
while they themselves expected to be
allowed to pursue their way undis-
turbed. Col. Hines :now has $50 whites
and $50 Indians working for him on the
reservation.
AWARDED DAMAGES.
Judge Martin decided yesterday in
the case of T. A. Sheridan VS.. the Du-
luth Gas and Water company, awarding
the plaintiff S10l.15 damages. Sheridan
is contractor, and his complaint was
that he had contract to have lot of
work done at a specified time; that the
gas and water people opened trench,
on account of his contract he had to be
at the expense of removing the dirt
himself in order to get done on time.

contracted for to leave Duluth, al
