Dissatisf;.ction Over a Department Order
Regarding White Earth Lands.
WHITE EARTH, Minn., April l5.-The
Chippewa commission has received in
strucrions from Washington to allos no
lands to persons of mixed white and
Indian blood who have had scrip issued
to them under former treaties, and to
cancel the allotments already made to
such persons. The enforcement of such
an order will work great hardship in
many cases, and serious complications
may arise in consequence. The act of

money has been expended, re quired the
assent of two-thirds of the Indians to
become a law. A bare two-thirds ma.
jority was obtained and the withdrawal

SNOW BUYS THE PLANT.
He Bids 5000 for the State Printin
Plant and Gets 1t.

He Bids $4,000 for the State Printing
Plant and Gets 1t.
The Hamilton printing plant was sold
at auction this forenoon. The only bid
ders were state printer E. II. Snow and
Major j. K. Hudson. Snow got the plant
for $4,000.
The sale was made by Receiver A. D.
Hubbard from the steps of the companv's
building on Eighth street just east of
Kansas avenue. Major Hudson and his
attorney, j. D. Mcfarland. and Mr.
Snow with his attorney, ]. w. Gleed, and
c. B. Hamilton were among those pres
emit
Receiver Hubbard read the terms of
the sale and announced that no bids of
less than $4,000 would be considered.
''Bid up gentlemen" Hubbard said in
auction style, who'll starter, how much
am l offered?"
There was pause and finally Mr.
Snow said:
"Pll bid $4,000"
''Going at $4,000, who'll raise it?"
81 will bid $13,500," said Major Hud-
son.
State Printer Snow raised the Major
| 800 and Dir. Hudson withdrew and had
few words with his attorney and let
Snow have the plant at that figure.
The sale of the plant TO Mr.. Snow was
SonOGAAAS VI d sur PRISE IL IS no secret
! that Mr.. Hamilton would much rather
have had Major Hudson for the pur-
chaser. The significance of this move
by Snow is that he proposes to fight for
his place, and contest Major Hudson's
election to the end. Mr.. Snow has dur
ing the past few months kept his own
counsel and told no one what his plans
| are. The fact that he has bought the
state printing plant is taken as evidence
that he expects the state printing for
two years more, Major Hudson holds a
lease on the building, however. which is
operative after July 1, and Snow will
have to move his plant to other quarters
after that time.
By the terms of the sale the purchaser
is to pay $4,000 down and $1,000 Z
month. beginning August l. until the
whole amount is paid.

FOOtpads Stop Tim Hogue and Rife His
Pockets.
Footpads stopped Tim Hogue late Sat-
urday night as he was going home from
work. He is employed at the street rail
way barns and lives at 1888 Prospect
street The robbery occurred at Twelfth
and Buchanan streets.
The men approached Hogue from the
farther side of the street and Stopped
him.
Hello, stranger" said the taller of the
two men, "What have you got on your"
business" replied Hogue.
"Dou't get frisky, pard," said the short
man, drawing a revolver. Hogue was
unarmed and saw that resistance was
useless. They went through his pockets
and took $3.50 IN silver. The footpads
complained that it was small haul, .
and told Hogue to "get." The robbers
went to Eleventh street and turned east.
Hogue reported the affair to the police
yesterday, and last night Officer Purcells
arrested two men who answered the des-
cription perfectly. They are Jim Switzer
who is Just out Of the Kansas City work
house. and Sam Campbell, who has been
wanted in Topeka for two years for sell
ing liquor.
The officer thought Switzer and Camp
bell were acting suspiciously and he fol
lowed them from Fourth and Jefferson
streets to the postotfice. The men kept
looking back, uneasily, and finally broke
into run.
Hogue has not fully identified the men,
but thinks they are the ones.

but nevertheless they were locked up in
a small Jail on the island and kept there
for several weeks.
Then they were taken to some place
on the coast where they were supposed
