FEES ARE AT STAKE
MA2SHALS HELD RESPONSIBLE
FOB AN INDIAN SCARE
Turtle Mountain Indians Represented by
Messages to the Authorities as Being in
State of Outbreak, Ready to Burn,
Kill, Fire and Slay--Trouble Has Arisen
on Account OF the Rescue of an Indian
Under Arrest for Cutting Timber
Matter Thought to be Stirred Up for the
Fees in It

Fargo, y. D., April 3o-Cnited States
Marshal Cornan received the following
dispatch from Deputy SCHNEIDER at ST.
Johns today: Between 200 and 800 hos
tiles at Langan, preparing to resist.
Citizens and settlers leaving St. Johns
through fear. If you come at all bring
assistance enough TO quiet disturb
ance and protect settlers"
II is also stated that the Indians had
burned the houses OF settlers who had
testified against them. On running
the story down, it appears that but one
case Of that kind has occurred. Sun
day the marshal and deputy had coun
Gil with the Indians, who had previous
~ rescued a half-breed, charged with
cutting timber on government land,
from arrest and told them that they
had come there to arrest the parties
and that they should surely do il. Lit
tie Shell, chief of the Turtle Mountain
Indians, told them that the government
had never paid the Indians for their
land and that he had given permission
to cut the timber and that he had
right to give that permission, and that
would not allow anybody to be arrest
ed for cutting timber under his orders
or with his permission.
The marshal reiterated the statement
and intended to do il. The Indians ask
ed who they wanted and, on being in
formed. they called the persons and
when they came in the marshal read
the warrant and undertook to make
the arrest, but he Indians forcibly re-
sisted. The marshal returned to Fargo
and wired the attorney general for in
structions. The offense is slight at
most and feeling is general among the
settlers that the seventy indictments
against settlers and others in that re-
gion are more for the purpose of max
ing fees for officers than for any other
purpose.
There is no probability that any,
thing will come Of the alleged outbreak
for the reason that American citizens,
as well as Canadian half-breeds and
Canadian Indians, are being persecut-
ed. as the citizens believe, unjustly.
There is no feeling between citizens and
Indians, but toward SCHNEIDER, the de-
putty who has made himself obnoxious.
