WE'LL FIXED REDS.

The Statement of Mile Laos Cor
respondent Contradicted
BRowNs VALLEY, Mimi, Special, Nov.
23.-Your correspondent writing from the
old Mile Laos reservation regarding In
dian mendicants" was sadly at fault in
many of his statements. The Indians who
left here to visit the Chippewas were mem
bers of Wakandadutas band. All the In
dams on this reservation have been paid
over 5000 apiece in cash this fall, the total
amounting to $3.50, OOo They were we'll
provided with cash and loaded with pres
ents and it is not their nature to be saving
of either. 1t is preposterous to think
of the poverty stricken Chippewas
gorging their visitors or stripping
themselves Of clothing for their well-to do
friends. These same Chippewas were visit
ing on the Slsseton reservation here while
the payments were in progress, and shared
fully in the fat living Of our Indians at that
time. .za
The Sioux may have invited the Chippe-
was to share their reservation, but they
would not be allowed to do SO under any
circumstances. They have all received
their allotments of land. and the allotm ent
rolls have been completed and closed. The
remainder OF the reservation, about 700, 600
acres, has been sold to the government, and
will be opened to white settlement in the
spring The alarm O. the white settlers
is certainly ridiculous, as our Indians have
for thirty years been one of the nj ss peace
full and peaceable tribes in the Northwest.

.M'CARTY JUMPED.
Steve Brodte was Entirely Correct In
- ..s.az Calling Him q Crank

Steve Brodie was Entirely Correct In
Calling Him Crank.
New YORK. Nov. 23. -"Francis McCarty,
who has headquarters at Pete Kelly's, No.
&C Walworth street. writes TO the Daily
News that he will jump from the
Brooklyn bridge on Sunday morning. Nc
Carly has challenged Steve Brodie, who
calls him crank, and writes that he is go
ing to jump from the bridge just to show
that Brodie did not do anything SO great
after all" #t"-
The above item appeared in the Daily
News OF last Friday, and attracted no atten-
ton.
This ternoon as James Ross, a
junk man, drove his wagon up to
the a. New York approach to the
big bridge man appeared to
him and asked him for a ride, and the re-
quest was granted; The man got into the
wagon and as he did so Rose noticed that he
was slightly under the influence OF liquor.
When near the center of the bridge the pas
senger said: Pm going to jump over
board" Ross jokingly replied: "All right;
go ahead and I'll follow you" The
man then pulled off his hat and coat
but Ross still thought him in jest, until he
climbed from the wagon. when Ross real
lied that he was in earnest, the man hay
ing by that time reached the edge of the
bridge OH the railing.
Ross then called to the would-be suicide
to stop. and an officer rushed TO him, but
too late. He leaped Into the air,
turned turned two somersaGlts' ar and was was
below. He only rose to the surface once
after striking the water. and the body has
not yet been recovered. In the pocket of
the coat left in the wagon by the I'M
fortunate was card on which was written,
Lord Davis, " but no such person could be
found and the mans identity is shrouded
in mystery. ."
This evening woman, who said that she
was Mary NcCarty, thirty-four years of
age, walked into the Office of the Brooklyn
bridge police, and asked the
sergeant if a man had jumped
from the bridge during the day.
s hd was bn Informed be- that I5d man de had done Ss
act: ''Thats my husband said she,
and she began TO cry. We have his
| coat, vest and hat here" said the SER
| geant, and he produced the articles.
Mrs. mccarthy inspected them and said that
they were her husbands. She said his
thirty ght years OF age. He was an iron
molder and worked in the foundry in
Green Point where he was discharged
on account of his Incorporate habits.
Three weeks ago she had gone up to East
Newark, n. J. Up to this time they had
lived at No. 1872 Classon avenue, but when
Mrs. McCarty went to New Jersey her hus-
band went to board at NO. 102 Graham
street. -.
Mrs. McCarty saws that the dead man
was her second husband, whom she mar.
ried three years ago. She has three chill
dren by former marriage. She had seer
the item in the paper and became alarm &c
for fear the dead man had carried out hi:
rash proposition.
