NIEANDERED LAKES,
A Communication from the State Audito
Concerning Them.

A Communication from the State Auditor
Concerning Them.
AS inquiries are frequently addressed
to this office regarding the ownership
of beds of meandered lakes where the
waters have receded or have dried up,
the following statement of the ruling
of the secretary of the interior and de-
cisions of the United States supreme
court, and the supreme court of this
state, relative to this question are
given for the information of all parties
interested.
In the case of Hardin v. Jordan GAO
u. S. Sly, the United States supreme
court says: ''The meander lines run
ming along or near the margin of such
waters are run for the purpose of as
pertaining the exact quantity of the
upland to be charged for, and not for
the purpose of limiting the title Of the
grantee to such meander lines" ..
In referring to the above decision
the secretary of the interior says:
'sIt follows from said decision that

Lost Il FINGER.

Antoine SENDER, of St. Cloud, car
penter who has been at work on the
new stockyards at the depot, met with
a painful accident the first of the week.
He was standing in the door of the
baggage car while the door was being
closed and caught the ring finger of
his right hand in the jamb Of the door
crushing it badly. DR.. Tarbox was
called to attend the case and found it
necessary to amputate the injured
member.
Mr.. Jacks little son, whose misfor-
tune was recorded last week, is improv-
ing rapidly. The knife severed the
finger at the first joint leaving only a
shred of flesh on one side. The finger
was sewed back on and it is probable
that the finger will be saved, although
the joint will always be stiff.

another victory packed in its grips.
The Elk River club was not in it from
the start and up to the sixth inning
had not secured a score. Things
looked bad for them, so bad that many
of their admirers left the grounds
rather than see their pets larruped.
Then there came several costly errors
and combinations of errors on the
Princeton side and when the smoke
blew off the cornfeld the score stood
81 to II. Princeton scored in all but
two innings while the home team
scored in only three. The boys were

result. The Milaca battery and two

than half play ball for instead of shut

Fred Mcclellan, who has just re-
turned from a trip over the reserva-

There is a good head of water at the

a petition, says the Little Falls
Transcript, will be forwarded to Pres
ident Cleveland this week from the In
dianss on the Mile Laos reservation.
TheIndians claim that..the government
is trying to coerce them by withhold
ing payments due, so as to make them
remove to White Earth, which they do
not wish to do. These Indians are pro-
foun1dly attached to their present abode,
and up to the present time it has been
found impossible to induce them to go
to White Earth. The petition will
succeed in reminding the government
that the Mile Laos question is unset
tied, if it does nothing else. Following
is the petition: go.
TO HIS HONOR, GROVER CLEvELAND:
Our Great Father: We your chill
dren, Chippewa Indians, residing on
Ourfreservation at Mile Laos, Mime
sota,. believing your integrity and
honesty of purpose, again ask you to
cause the payment now long past due,
to besmade to us. Many of US have
suffered very much with both cold and
hunger during our long winters on &C
count Of our payments being Withheld
from us. This is the treatment that
we have of late, years received from
the United States government, which
in years gone by we greatly loved and
respected, so much so that at one time
we put our lives in peril to defend it.
Wezare told by some of our friends that
our payments are withheld from US by
our Great Fathers dishonest and in
human servants, whose action is not
known to him, they, hoping by such
foul treatmen to induce US to abandon
our old home at Mile Laos and re-
move to White Earth. We may con-
tinue to suffer from cold and hunger
sfor5she wanto the money whichsis due
US from the United States, but such in
human treatment will never succeed
in accomplishing it's purpose. We
may have to wait many moons before
you send us our money. We, never
theless, will continue to live on our
reservation at Mile Laos and enter
tain the hope that the Great Master of
Life will soften the hearts of those who
are Withholding our payments from us
and induce them to give us the money
that is due us.
And we further ask you, our Great
Father, to remove from US the pale
faces that are here trying to take from
US our lands. Many of them are very
insolent people, and are great an
noyance to us. Hoping that you will
not turn deaf ear upon this, our just
and reasonable request, as you have
many times done of late years when
we have appealed to you to assist US
and give us what you in most solemn
manner promised US in the last treaty
made with us in 1889.
We are, as ever, your friends, and
are still loyal to the government of the
United States.
