the Removal Of the Mile
Lace Tribe.
Hon. William Campbell, one Of tn
Indian commissioners, was in tn
city few hours today, having jus
returned from White Earth. Whel
questioned about the removal of tn
Mile Lacs he said that they wer
moving very slowly, and only eigh
families went to White Earth during
January. He had a map of th
Mile Lacs reservation, showing tia
there is large number of white set
tiers there and very little tillabl'
ground is left for the Indians. Iti.
his opinion that the Mile Lacs woult
have removed to White Earth Ions
ago had it not been for the advice O
certain Little Falls parties. who ad
vised them to stay where e-4theys:- art
and led them to believe that they
could recover from the government
for the timber and hay taken from
the land long since ceded to tn.
whites. According to Mr.. Campbell
the whites in that locality have it il
for people OF Little Falls and hulC
them responsible for the non-re
moval of the Indians. This, he tolG
them, was not the fault of the Little
Falls people, but of one man, ant
from the conversation we would Judge
that the man referred TO is Uncle
Nate Richardson. It is Mr.. Camp
bells opinion that the Mile Lacs
settlers will endeavor to get square
with Little Falls whenever they have
an opportunity.
The appointment OF j. Adam Bede
as United States marshal, Mr.. Camp
bells old position, is all right with
him. "Only one man could receive
the appointment said Mr.. Camp
bell, land you might expect the other
fellows would kick.
January Weather.
The following is taken from. the
months bulletin of the Minnesota
weather service for January:
The mean temperature was rs de.
grees, which is 81 degrees higher
than the average. For - consecu.
tive days, from the 10th to the 2lst
inclusive the temperature was above
the normal, and on of these days
the excess was between 200 and SOC
each day. The greatest deficiency IN
temperature was on the 25th, and it
was on this day and..the day follow
ing that nearly all the lowest tenn
peratures for the month were re-
ported. The Z, s, and 9 also con-
stituted a cold spell. The tempera.
