Indians Consulting Nate.

A delegate from the Indians at Mile
Laos was in the city, Monday. Chief
Shakopee came in to consult Mayor
Richardson who is legal adviser for
the noble red men of that region, and
also to see Sheriff Houde. Indian Com
missioner Campbell, who has succeeded
Oar Hall, with several other commits
sioners and an interpreter have been
up to Mile Laos endeavoring to get
the Indians to consent to a renewal to
White Earth. This messenger says
be offered to take a delegation of In
dians down to Washington to see the
great white chief with view to MAX
ing treaty of removal if they were
not willing to go without. But it is
understood that the Indians will make
no agreement without the advice of
their attorney, Mayor Richardson, and
| if a delegation goes to Washington
they want. the mayor to accompany
them. So there is prospect that
Mayor Richardson will be called to
Washington. There are about 800 In
dams at Mile Laos and the reserva-
tion embraces about four townships.
The Indian messenger stopped over
! night with Sheriff sHoude and returned
to-day bearing a letter with him from
Mayor Richardson in which some ad
vice is given. LITTLE Falls Transcript
