the large tract lying west of the Red
River valley, including the DEVILS lake
and Turtle mountain regions, these In
dams set up formal claim to the en-
tire tract, amounting to about 10000
acres. In treating with them at that
time the Indian commissioners offered
them a reservation, it is said, of twenty
townships, including the present town
sites of Rolla and st. John, lying along
the Canadian boundary and taking in
the eastern half of the Turtle noun
tains. Two years later, however, this
reservation was cut down to two town.
ships, its present size, and the claim
now made by the band is for a restora-
ton of their reserve to its original size
and for the payment of a bounty of
81, ZOO, 900 in annual payments extend
ing through twenty years, for the re-
linquishment of the larger tract.
Though party of three commission
ers sent to make an investigation three
years ago reported favorably to the
claims of these Indians, men who are
well acquainted with the origin and
history of this particular band main
tain that they have no valid claim.
This view is held on the ground that,
had these Indians settled on the White
Earth reservation when it was set aside
for them they would now be as well
provided for and as prosperous as any
of the White Earth Indians.
The Indians have been upheld in their
position chiefly through John B. Bot
tineau, a half breed, who is their attor-
ney, and who spends most of his time
at Washington urging their claims be-
fore the interior department. His home
is in Minneapolis. Whatever may be
the merits of the claims he represents,
it is certain that the Indians place
great confidence in him, being guided
by his advice in every move. White
settlers in that region therefore accuse
Bottineau of being responsible for the
constant agitation of the trouble with
the Indians and breeds, by whom they
are harassed and frequently driven
from the claims upon which they have
made filings. The Indians themselves
refuse TO take out naturalization papers
and make filings on the lands they in
habit, as they are advised by their
lawyer that such action would jeop-
ardize their claims pending before the
