The Kimball graphic. (Kimball, Brule County, Dakota [S.D.]) 1883-1905, 1889-05-24
white Ghsst Talks.

There was a genuine Indian pow-wow
on the porch of the Kimball House Tues
day morning. Chief White Ghost was
the central figure. Around him were
grouped twenty OF his followers and as
many more towns people. The subject at
hand was the Illegal shooting Of game
by the Indians. An educated young In-
dian acted as Interpreter. AS White Ghost
talked, the few Indians squatted near
kept two pipes going around the circle.
White Ghost was told the law governing
the bunting of game; that white people
were not allowed to shoot young ducks
and gather their eggs; that the law was
not made by the Kimball people but by
the territory; that he was welcome al
ways but must not modest the gamo dur
Ing the breeding season. All this ~as
interpreted to him as the talk progressed.
lie listened attentively to all that was
said, but he was very guarded in his
nswers He didn't say that he would
observe the law or hat he wouldn't.
He said in substance that personally he
had no respect for laws made by the
whites; that they might make a law that
he should cut his hair but he wouldn't
do it; that he was trying to bring up his
Jost how he expected to make a success
of his young men while he set such a bad
example, he didn't say. He said whites
were continually violating the law by
coming on to their reservation. lie was
told to put them off when they did.
This brought a broad grin to ell the
maroon colored faces. An effort was
then made to get the crafty old cuss to
to tell what he thought about the new
dea! in reference to opening the reserva.
ton but he was as non cemmittal on that
question as the other, even more so. All
that he would say was that he couldn't
tell what he would do till the commission
came and he had heard what they had tc
say.
