These Indians have before sent pc

that there is SO little trouble be-
tween the BET tiers and Indians. The

positive action-either admit tile
right of the Indians to remain there,
and then pay them the annunities;
or else compel them to go to White
Earth, where abundant provision
has been made for them. II the
Indians are going to be allowed to
remain on the lands. it is unfair to
allow white settlers to make homes
there. and is unfair tn hold

II the Indians are going to be
taken from the lands, the sooner
it is done the better for all con-

DEAR SIR:-l have many inquiries
from interested PERSONS In Your
county as to how settlers upon
"Indemnity Land" Of the st. p. and
N. p. K. K. Co.. s.,-called, can acquire
title, or protect their. right to their
hOmes.-and write this t< sny:-
The land, the selection Of which has
not yet been approved to the rail-
road company by the gov"rnnn Mt,
and upon which persons have settled
and esta blishe,i Il residences in good
faith. will not he conveyed to the
railroad company ny the govern
ment until the right of the actual
settlers is determined; provided,
however. that the settler makes
proper application for the land be-
fore the railroad selections are aD-
proved by the department, and
accompanies his application with the
required evidence.
Any one desiring to secure their
land from the government, should
lose no time in getting their claim
properly before the department, as
only those claims which appear of
record will be r. cngnized when the
railroad claim is finally adjusted.
OF this am credibly informed by
reliable parties now in Washington,
and in a position to know.
Very truly yours.

THE PROPER HUTHOR.
II Fitting Agent Was Ap'
parently the Council Gu1d-
ing Spirit.

The attempt Monday evening to
annul all light and water contracts
was Il surprise to the general puolic,
and it is not known that any out
side of the three councilInen. Martin,
Moexlein and Mecusker, and Sam
Trebby were aware of the brilliant
program that had been arranged.
1t appears that shortly before the
meeting Trebhy went to st. Cloud
and had an attorney draw up the
resolution and ordinance tO annul
the. contracts. Shortly before the
close of the meeting Alderman
Martin presented them. and the
three councilmen voted for, them.
Martin then made a motion that
Calhoun & Bennett, the st. Cloud at
torneys, be retained to assist the
city attorney in "this case.' AS the
only legal services that were evident.
were the drawing OF the resolutions
and ordinances. it is probable that
Mr.. Trebby had authority to pledge
the action of the three councilmen.
Little Falls as yet has no law suit
with the Electric 4 Water company.
and will have none unless it ia the
determined purpose Of the council to
force litigation on the city and the
company:
While three aldermen had some
times shown a disposition Of hostili-
ty to the Electric & Water company
when there was no occasion for any
hut ordinary business action, 1t was
certainly a surprise that they were
led so far from fair and judicious
action as to adopt the methods that
would suit the well known
tactics of Irehby regarding public
agreements. Public officers should
be governed by better motives tht n
often prompt private action, and In
so foolishly following the Trebby
plan the council has placed itself IN
much worse position than any cir
cumstances warranted.
After the action of Monday night
and the general knowledge Of Treb'
by's rela tiops to the program and
plans of Martini. MOeglein and Me
cusker, the public will not be greatly
surprised at any action that may
now he taken.

Two Horoeo Escape From a
Dangerous Position by a
hair'o Breadth.

A team OF horses belonging to- Il
West side Pulander escaped without
serious injury from one Of the most
dangerous pretlicaments that it Is
possible to get into and come out
alive. They We're being driven up n
narrow tram way at the Interstate
mill, that crosses the mill race, and
either slipped or crow ded and fell off
the edge Of the tramway. FOrtu-
M tely the tongue of the sled caught {,
and held the horses suspended in
midair about eighteen feet above
the water in the mill-race, and they
were in such sha pe that they could not
drag thu. sled with them. 1t was
thought that. one of the horses
}conld be saved by letting the other
20, aud the rigging which held him
up was cut and he dropped into the
mill-race. To .everybOdy's surprise,
~ it was expected he would he k illed
by the fall, or drowned, the horse
honted ont to. the shallow water Of
the river and was led ashore, ap-
parently but slightly the worse for
his plunge. Ropes were fastened to
the other horse and tue large crowd
that had then Ea theretl succeeded in
getting him to terra tirma without
giving him the luxury ut the eighteen
foot plunge that the other WAS COM
pelied to take.
The accident ~ due to thefact that
the owner, or driver of the team.
like most of his countrymen. had
very little control over his horses,
and was Il very poor re,nsmnn.
