Chippewas Renounce Tribal Relations in
Order to Avoid Moving.
MORA, Mimi, Sept. A posse of
Chippewa braves appeared in open court
before Judge F. NJ, Crosby and were ex-
amined with the intention of renouncing
their tribal relations, customs and habits habits,
and becoming full-fedged citizens. They
belonged to the Knife River band of the
Mile Laos tribe, and were headed by
Jim Chesley, their chief. Eight of them
Were admitted to citizenship, and their
chief object in renouncing their tribal
relations is to obviate their removal
from White Earth. They are much at
tached to the locality, where some of
them have resided for great many
years, and rather than to be removed
they have abandoned their aboriginal
customs and adopted those of the whites,
with view to improving their cond-
tions.

Can't Reside In Canada and Work Here.
INTERNATIONAL BRIDGE, Ont, Sept. A..

and working across the river, have been
going to and returning from work with
out interruption for some time. Wednes-
day evening they went as usual but the

United States alien acts which requires
householders to live in the United States
and unmarried men must take out citi-
zen's papers if they wish to earn live
lihood in the Republic.

Sale of Sections 16 and 80 by the
Government.
He Says the Lands Belong to the State
and Cites Supreme Court Decis-
ion to Prove 1t.
The Lands In Question Worth in u
Neighb0rhood Of Million
Dollars.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Senator Dayis
has been before the general land Office
in which he makes claim in behalfof
the State of Minnesota for valuable
lands in the ceded Chippewa lands for
the benefit of the state schools. The
claim is for sections 16 and 3S, in the
White Earth and Red Lake reserva-
tions, making about l .666, ,666 acres ont
of the 100000 acres ceded. Most of
these lands are covered with standing,
pine and are worth a great deal of
money. The land Office is preparing to
appraise and sell the lands, and Senator
Davis told Commissioner Carter that If
the government saw fit it could APP
praise the sections, 16 and 36, but he
wanted to call a halt upon the matter of
selling them. Commissioner Carter said
he would have the matter looked up, as
it presented question of great import
ance. 1t is presumed the Indians and
the Indian defense cranks will make an
outcry Of opposition. as the ~ceded lands
are to be disposed of and the money TO
remain a fund for the benefit of the
Chippewas.
Filed q Written Brief.
:. After making the verbal protest
Senator Davis filed a written brief set
ting forth: THE supreme court of the
United Statas has distinctly held that
section 16 of all lands granted in each
township which had not been sold ol
otherwise disposed of, should, as an Vr-
alterable condition of admission to thf
Union, be granted to the State of Wis.
consin for the use Of her schools" Il
The Stockbridge and Munser Indian
lands We're disposed of in 1870, exactly
as the White Earth and Red Lake Lands
are now being disposed of, and ths
supreme court of the United States set
tied the question in favor of Wisconsin,
The act admitting Minnesota to the
Union is in exactly the same words used
when Wisconsin was admitted, except
that Wisconsin was only granted section
16,while Minnesota was granted sections
16 and 36 in each township. The lands
in question are worth about 81, 100000
