Indians Who Commit ORenses Can't

Madison, Wis, Special-Lizzie De-
homie, young half-breed from Lac de
Flambeau, was before the federal
court charged with assault with in
tent to kill two Indians, and her case
brought up an important oversight in
federal laws. The assault was COM
mitted at dance Aug. %, when she
had been drinking heavily, and where
she stabbed two Indian policemen.
After spending 115 days in jail here
Judge Bum dismissed her case Oh a
motion of want Of jurisdiction. Con-
gress in 1885 passed Il law to provide
punishment for assault committed by
Indians on a reservation, but left it to
the other statutes to settle in what
courts and in what manner the Ofense
should be tried. Upon investigation
it was found that there is no other
statute which contains this provision,
and the court was without jurisdic-
ton. The decision is one OF national

During Explorer Safe in Franz Josef
. Ian a. s3s


Land.
New York, Dec. Il. - Prof. Andree
and his famous balloon have been lo-
Gated. After almost everybody who
does not know very much about the
matter has had his say the really
scientific men have come forward and
have announced the daring Swede and
his two companions, DR.. Niles Strind-
berg and Knut Frankel, safe and sound
and only waiting for winter to break
up to show themselves.
Scientific journals which have just
arrived from Europe announce the fact
that the astronomers and mete0rolOg-
ical experts in the government OBJ
serVatories Of Sweden, England,
France and Germany have at last re-
ceived full meteorological reports and
have calculated the velocity and di-
rection Of the polar winds during July,
while Andree was supposed to have
been sailing sora was, as they claim,
actually sailing over the North Pole.
These experts have also calculated the
location Of the explorers, and say that,
barring unforeseen accident to the bal
loon, they must now be on some part
of Franz Josef land, and must have
passed the pole. AS to the question Of
accident to the balloon, the most
skilled Of the experts say that such a
contingency is next to impossible.
NJ. Lachambre of Paris, in an inter-
view, said that the balloon could float
for fifteen days. Taking the computa-
lions of the experts on the velocity and
direction of the polar winds, the ex-
perts all agree that the balloon passed
the pole in less than six days and that
Andree and his companions continued
their journey until they reached
place suitable for winter quarters.

Northern Pac1hc and Manitoba Settle
q Land Suits.
Milwaukee, Special The three uits
instituted by Receivers Payne, Oaks
and Rous against the ST. Paul, Mime

growing out of the dispute over land
grants in the State Of Minnesota have
been amicably settled, and an order Of
dismissal will be entered in few
days. In the settlement the Northern
Pacific receives secure 75,S45.3S acres
of valuable land, all in Minnesota, and
$4,000 in cash. Most important of all,
however, is the assurance that set
tiers who have purchased land in good
faith from the Manitoba company are
not to be disturbed in their possession,
but, instead, the two companies are to
join in making the titles good and
binding. The Manitoba company takes
1858. Is acres Of land and $50, 1000 in
cash.
The three suits grew out Of the land
grants made by congress to the North
ern Pacific and the grants made sub
sequently to the State of Minnesota
and to the St. Paul, Minneapolis &,
Manitoba company. The lands were
patented by the United States after
the grant to the Northern Pacific. The
grants to the state and to the Manito'
ba company, made subsequently, en-
croached upon the one made to the
Northern Pacific company, but no ac-
ton was taken until fourteen years
elapsed, when the first suit was
brought. The delay raised several
nice points of law, and in consideration
