MAN
From MAJOR Il: u Gwydor the REVIEW
learns the following concerning the com,
position OF the court which 1t Is proposed
| to establish for the government or the
Indians under his charge, and to which all
the chiefs OF the various tribes, with the
exception OF the obstinate and defiant
Sko. las.kin, of the Lower San Puells,
readily assented.
The court is to be composed OF the head
chiefs OF each tribe, VINO snail meet AZ the
agency at stated periods and try snch
cases as may come before them. Inc
! agent VIII PRESIDE over tnis court, DrinR
a kind OF chief justice. as IL were. Each
chief who is member OF tba court Will
perform the duties ora justice OF the peace.
and will try all cases arising among
the people OF his own tribe. On all minor
offenses he Will pass Judgment, bat when
serious crimes are committed the justice
will either bind offenders over to appear
before the general court or remand them to
the agency Jail without bail, as bis Judg-
ment dictates. Parties not satisfied with
the judgment OF justice OF the peace may
appeal to the general court, whose decision
will be hnal.
| At present the civil government on the
| Colville reservation consists OF court OF
three members. composed of Agent Gwy-
dir and two Indians, and police force
consisting OF thirteen privates and two Of.
hcers. all Indians.
The Indians make first-class policemen
and when one OF them starts out to make
an arrest it is safe TO conclude that he will
not return until he finds his man. James
I. Gibson, Major Gwydir's clerk, says an
Indian policeman clothed 10 his uniform
and the majesty of "Washington's" law,
Is absolutely without fear. Under these
circumstances they say they are ''all same
Washington. and 30 long az Nv ASH
ington' stands ready to back them up they
fear nobody, even though natural towards
under ordinary circumstances. Wash.
ingtOn' is great institution IL the esti-
nation of an Indian.
The Indians, when once induced To
adopt the white mans laws, have far
greater respect for them than the average
white citizen.
The desire OF the average Indian for
strict and impartial justice Is worthy OF
emulation by the civilized people OF all
nations. n netting out punishment for a
crime the Indian knows neither friend nor
foe. and no ties of blood or kindred are al.
lowed to intervene to save the offender
from just punishment.
As an illustration OF this fact Major
Gwydir relates that on one occasion the
son OF Chief Lott (Whis'ti poo soml Was
accused OF attempting to run away with
another man 9 wife As soon as the old
chief heard OF the matter he ordered his
erring son arrested, and sent him down to
the agency Jail In irons. Lott followed
soon after and was present ut the exam
ination of his son. The stern old chief

But now Margaret broke in impetu-

some mistake. I purchased for you

pretty stripe for walking. Did you
not receive them?"
Then Margaret described the con.
tents of the package she had received,
and Mrs. Laurence threw herself into
chair, and laughed long and heartily.
my dear, you must forgive me-" she
said, when she could speak, "for it is
not I who have been in fault, but the
shopman, who has evidently put the
wrong addresses on the parcels in

cured a situation. I knew she was

very prudently, as I thought, laid it
out myself. And now I can account
for the rapturous tone of the letter OF
thanks I have received, and the assur-
ance that the lovely things that have
sent Sarah Dobbs will make quite a
lady of her. What must her mistress
have thought of me? And you too,
poor child! Now I can understand
why you have shrunk from me and not

Margaret spent the rest of that even

different state of mind. She had no
more reservations from Aunt Bessie,
and not only stayed willingly at

The Governor and Prophet soon came to
an understanding. but Prophet was at heart
a free-trader and loved King George. This
went on till 1910. when the Governor sent :

take the place of industry. He allowed that
the Lord would provide. He united what
may be called the High Church and Horse

combined the unimpassioned and geomet-
rical style Of religion with the deep. abid-
ing faith which enables q lowbrowsed horse
chestnut to make stubborn case of rheu-
matism go right away from there.
Prophet had been nicknamed Loud Voice
because of his ability to test the acoustic
properties Of Ohio. He could address an
open air meeting as tar as the eye could
reach. He was also inclined to be q little
bit arbitrary. and when anybody found
fault with him or doubted his statements
he generally noticed right away that some
thing was the matter with his longevity.
great many people saved their lives by be-
Ing en- rapport with the Prophet.
The brothers. or Messrs. Prophet and Te-
cumseh. were opposed by chief named
Black Hoof. He did not prophesy at all.
but called to his aid what has been referred
to by Plutarch as horse sense. BY this
means he saw at once that it was a mistake
for the Indian to go to war with the white
man, and especially without the indorse-
ment of the press. Black Hoof lived to be
one hundred and ten years old. and would
have lived much longer, no doubt. had he
not changed his heavy underwear In March
for lighter suit which he found on q
clothes line one evening on the banks OF
the Auglaize River in Ohio. They were not
quite dry.

further assurances Of the good win Of the
United States if he would quit getting drunk

down as revelation all the peculiar things
We see while drunk our literature would

Shortly aiterward Tecumseh was told.by
the Governor tn at he desired to see him.
Tecumseh then packed a small medicine
bag made OF the skin of a chipmunk. with
change of clothing in case he should be gone
long time. and called on Gov. Harrison.
during which time Tecumseh made several
ringing speeches. They showed great
Reader style that sounded something like
The Aged Indians Lament" and some
like The Burial Of Sir John Moore" In the
course of his remarks. according to one of
the historians. he took occasion to say:
Father. we've been led to suppose that
luncheon. catch q few pickerel. and then go
away. But you've come far DER the sea.
but you've went not back. see. You have
caught our largest and most fragrant musk
rats. You have bored holes in our bee
trees. You have bathed in our rivers. and
especially in Ohio River. Last fall q white
man shot one OF our warriors. who is q
somnambulist and pessimist. shot him
with buck-shot while exercising one OF
your horses. and then left him there till
his friends hesitated about going near
him. Is that any way for brothers to treat
each other? I know that our old chief
sold to you portion of the United States
in 1875. but his wife did not sign the deed.
and II so. it was before she was taken apart
as required by the law. How can We have
confidence in the white people? The white
people want the earth. and they may get
it. but in the happy hunting grounds you
will be able to detect only slight flavor OF
white man. and you will notice that in the
