Devils Lake Reds VIII Not Take Land in
seyeralty.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-The commits
sioner of Indian affairs received q report
to-day from Special Agent krebs announc-
ing the refusal of the Indians on the Devils
Lake reservation in North Dakots 20 re-
ceive allotments in seyeralty, as contem-
plated ia the allotment act of 1887. The
matter of paying taxes was the greatest
objection. They were told they would
have no taxes to pay on the land before the
expiration Of twenty-five years, and this
was explained. but they could not be recon
eiled TO paying taxes even on personal
property. Other questions were oroughr
up by the Indians. They alleged they
had not been treated fairly by
the government; that certain annu-
tiles had been taken from them that
ought to be restored; that by an error In
the exterior lines Of the survey on the
western boundary of the reservation O. 900
acres of land were taken from them for
which they should receive pay. The error
in the survey Of the reservation boundary
lines in 1875 complained of was referred 10
in the annual report OF the commissioner of
Indian affairs for lSSI, and the claim for
compensation for the loss Of the "a 900 acres
WAS, in the Judgment of the commissioner.

ever. has yet been taken by congress.
