THE MILE Laos.
Hon. N. Richardson's Writes
on the Subject.
LITTLE FALLS. Aug. Is, 1894

LITTLE FALLS. Aug. Is, 1894.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TRANSCRIPT
/ am in receipt of a letter from the
wife of We-Way-Comig, head
chief of the Mile Laos Indians. She
says she writes to ME at the request
OF her husband who has gone up to
White Earth with his boy so that he
may attend school at that place.
She says that he wishes me to have
it published in ne Wspaper thai he
should not move to White Earth;
that he could not be hired to do SO.
think all of the Indians that are
now ON the Mile Lac Reservation
are as determined as the chief is to
remain ON their reservation at Mile
Laos. There is no question about the
Indians right to remain at Mile
Lacs under the treaty made with
them in 1889. So far the government
has violated every pledge made to
the Mile Laos Indians. If they re-
main there they will eventually get
the lands that the government has
attempted to rob them OF by wrong
fully issuing patents for them to
parties claiming u right to them un-
der the Homestead law. Patents
issued to hOmesteaders ON lands
that were by treaty seeded to the
Indians are void. AS a last resort
the Indians ask that their rights to
the Mile Laos reservation may he de-
termined by the courts. They are
willing and anxious to pay the ex-
penses of legal proceedings to deter
mine their rights out of their own
money. But one OF the excuses made
by the government officials for not
paying them the money due to them
is that they might use some OF. it to
employ lawyers to secure their legal
right to the Mile Laos reservation.
There may be honest men in con-
troll of some Of the departments of
the government but the officers that
have for many years past had CON
troll of Indian affairs, both in the Re
publican and Democrat parties, have
been composed ofas corrupt and dis
honest a set as ever disgraced pub
lie office in this Or any other country
The Mile Laos are and always have
been the most loyal and peaceable
Indians in this state and yet they
have been and are being treated in the
most shameful manner by the United
States government.
