number of Coy's friends he d u meeting and
determined to give him reception upon his
return. 1t was proposed to meet him with q
brass band and give public evidence of their
belief in his Innocence, but after some dis
cussion of the matter it was deemed best to
consider Coy's wishes in the matter, and
William Eden will go to Michigan City to-
morrow to learn FROM Coy whether he
wishes any demonstration from his friends.
Coy will find his seat in the council waiting
for him, as the minority has been strong
enough to prevent his expulsion. Tle fine
was remitted on the recommendation of q
number of prominent men of both parties,
ex-senator Macdonald and John G. New be-
ing signers of the petition.

His shoulders are stopped; he has an ampi-

fine wine and capons, and queer little dancing

The Minneapolis & ST. Cloud Railroad COM
pany (HinckIey branch of the Manitoba) is
preparing to contest the validity of the
swamp land grant to the Duluth & " innipeg
company, and claims that the Winnipeg
company has no valid grant whatever.
Some months ago the governor decided to the
Winnipeg company 100 acres OF the grant
claimed by it for the purpose OF permitting a
test of the validity of the grant to be more
conveniently and expeditiously made ut the
suit OF anv parties interested. The Mime

400, 900 acres which have not yet been seIec,

hence proposes to fight every selection made
by the Winnipeg company, as at present
there are not sufficient lands available to
fill both grants and the Minneapolis 4 st.

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D., Special, May 22.-The
following order from Acting Indian Commits
sioner Belt has been received by Maj. Ander-
son, Indian agent at Tower, Brule and Crow
Greek agencies:
1t has been reported that encroachments and
settlements are being made by white persons
upon the Sioux reservation. in anticipation OF
the opening OF n portion thereof under recent
legislation. You are hereby directed to make a
thorough Investigation and ascertain whether
the: G are any persons 1ntruding upon any por-
tion of the reservation within your jurisdiction
for the purpose of making settlement or for
anv other purpose. YOu will consult with the
principal men of the tribes bell ngIug to your
agency and endeavor to obtain any information
they may be able TO impart regarding sucn IN
truders, where they are and whence they
come, and report in detail to this Offtc2
such information may be obtained, giving

location, of all persons found 10 be uniawfully

formation win enable the department
to take snch action regarding snch IN
truders as may be deemed necessary. You Will
inform all persons found intrudng upon the res
ervation that they must remove theretrom at
once. You will also inform all persons who
may be journeyiug toward the reservation for
the purpose of going thereon that they will i'll
wise be permitted to do so, and if thev at

and that sufficient force will bo requested to
accomplish their arrest and to Keep out all in
truderS from the reservation, and you will as
termination of this department TO permit no
unlawful Intrusion upon any Vart OF the Sioux
reservation for any purpose. You are expect d
to extend your investigation to all parts of the
reservation within your juris fiction, and to eX-
ecute these instructions promptly and Vlgor-
ously.
The senseless report sent out from Iierre
that settlers were crossing the river and
going upon th3 reservation is now almost
certain 20 cause the removal from the Crow
Creek reservation of large number OF
settlers who have been allowed to remain
there by the mutual consent of the govern
ment and the Indians, and who have during
the past four years established permanent
homes and have ut tue present time, in many
instances, large crops under cultivation
They will, Of course, have to abandon the
growing fields and the aggregate loss will
be enormous. I he settlers have not been
objected to at Anv time by the Indians but
the above sweeping order will undoubtedly
necessitate their removal at once. The evil
reports sent out from the north are certain
to cause great hardship among the uufort'
unate people. Troops will undoubtedly be-
upon the ground within the next few days.

How She saw SANTA claus.

In the dining room chimney was
register which opened and shut like

best kind Of place for Santa Claus to
come through.
Right beside it Helen small stocking
was hung on Christmas Eve. and for fear
ii might not hold all Santa Claus would
bring it was put over a chair.
When the long night was at last ended
Helen's delight unbounded, and as she
found the presents she wouldg to the reg
lister and say, Tank, tanl-, Santa ClaUs.'
A few days afterward a plumber was
called in to repair the pipe leading to this
sa ne register, and just as he was drawing
himself out of the opening Helen came
into the room.
The man was large and good-natured.
with a long gray beard He smiled at
sight of the little two-year-old, who looked
at him doubtingly for a moment. with her
hand, closped behind her His smiles
reassurcd her. and going up to him she
said
rs you dot any doll-babies in your
potet?'
With a kind reply the man took his de-
parture and to this day little Helen is
sure that she has seen and talked with o.o
Santa Claus himself.
