Princeton Union: we beg leave to
inform Hon. N. Richardson, Little
Falls, that our attitude towards the
Mile Laos Indians will undergo no
change. Furthermore, had Mr.. D. NJ.
Sabin conveyed selection Of his pine
land in the reservation to Mr..
Richardson, he (Mr, r. would not be
such Jealous champion Of the ''noble
red men" as he seemingly is at present.
In his letters to the Little Falls
Transcript, Mr.. Richardson claims
that the Mile Laos Indians are better
1T than those at White Earth. Yet
it is only few winters ago that M.
Richardson and other Little Falls
men claimed that the Mile Laos
indians were destitute and on the
verge Of starvation. Bob Dunn is
not an enemy Of the Mile Laos
Indians, but he is q friend of the
white settlers of Mile Laos country.
The Mile Laos Indians are Il gang Of
lazy, drunken scalawags and perjurers'
A score or more of them perjured
themselves at the recent term Of the
district court in this county for the
purpose Of clearing the cut-throat
Wadena, who shot an inoffensive old
swedc last June, and these perjurers
are now "lamoring for pay for their
services in that case. That Wadena
trial cost the white Taxpayers OF
Mile Laos county upwards ofs1, 900.
If these Mile Laos Indians are per.
mitted to remain where they are, they
will be continual bill Of expense to
this county. How would the tax
payers Of Morrison county relish the
idea of being obliged to pay out thou
sands of dollars every year for the
maintenance of law and order among
these drunken loafers? IF the Mile
Laos Indians are permitted to remain
at Mile Laos lake they should be
made to live on a reserve set apart
for their exclusive benefit and the
U. S. government should have com
plete control Of the same. But the
better plan would be to co!onize al
the Chippewa Indians on the White
Earth reservation, make them wards
Of the government, allot them lands in
severalty, keep out unprincipled white
whiskey-venders, civilize and protec,
them. We can assure Mr.. Richard.
son that it will be a very cold day in
the future when the white citizens Of
Mile Laos county permit gang Of
drunken Indians to have voice in
the management Of their county
affairs. 'The men and politicians tc
the south and east' Of the Mile Laos
Indians do not desire "breech-clout
precincts.

in framing his "ads.," and the most
liberal in occupying sufficient space
