Indians Contest,

For several days the Lewiston
land office has been busy hearing a
large number of Indian land con-
tests for the possession of land on
the reservation. These contests
involving the rights of large
number of homesteaders, seem to
be the result of gross carelessness
in the land department at Wash
ington. The Indians selected their
land previous to the opening of
the reservation, under the Dawes
allotment act of 1887, and a spec
ial allotment agent and surveyor
were employed for several years in
making the selections. The de-
partment issued trust patents for
the selected lands and later de-
,clared all reservation lands not al
lotted and held by trust patents
subject to entry. 1t has now de-
veloped that the trust patents in
many cases held erroneous descrip-
tons, and the Indians affected
thereby are now contrasting for the
land originally selected. These
lands have been located upon by
white settlers, and in a number of
cases great deal of improvement
work has been done. Edison
Briggs, the surveyor who assisted
Alloting Agent Fletcher in making
the selections, says that the gre
vious condition is the result of err
rors in the land department. in
transcribing from the allotment
records to the trust patents. The
Indians contend that the al
lotment act opening up the reser-
walton to settlement takes prece-
dence over any subsequent act of
the government, and affords them
relief. The white settlers are COM
PEELED to accept the negative, and
offer that the opening of these par
ticular lands to settlement was a
definite, positive act Of the govern
ment, and must give them protec-
ton.
In one case an Indian asks for
the possession of land which has
been his home for many years, and
which had been selected by him
under the allotment act. He has
a fine house, orchard, stable, etc,
on the land. He examined his
trust patent, only to find that some
department. clerk had made him a
home many miles away, and
white man takes his home.
Another important case affects
property at the new townsi,e of
kamiah. The land in controversy
was selected by an old Indian
woman, but was excluded in de-
scription Of her trust patent.
II. NJ. Jorgens detected the error
and informed the woman. He
purchased the tract from her and
subsequently built a large store
building and residence on the prop
erty, and planted an orchard. The
squaw now asks for the possession
of the property. This case is diff
terent from the others, because
Mr.. Jorgens assumed possession
with the contestants consent. The
Indians answer this by saying they
cannot under the law sell or lease
lands under % years.
About 20 contests have been
filed. A representative of Indian
Agent Fisher is conducting the
case for the Indians,

St. Paul. March 20.-Che legislative
storm center was in the house yester-
day very decidedly. It continued over
from the day before in the shape of the
bill taxing the output of the iron
mines cents per ton, and the mines
not worked on the supposed valuation
of the ore in the ground The bill was
the special order and all other business
was sidetracked. A call of the house
was ordered and continued throughout
the day. The friends of the measure
were divided as to whether the tax
should be or cents but finally
amended the bill to make it cents per
ton and the fight ragged all up and down
the line. More oratory was developed
than on any other measure this SEES
sion. AS the members were confined
in the hall owing to the call they
locked to the cloak rooms to escape
the speeches but the orators made
fair sized audience of themselves and
out of courtesy they remained to hear
each other. 1t was nearly 5 p. M.
when vote was reached and the bill
was lost by Sc yeas to so nays-it re-
quirlng SO votes to pass bill. Before
the vote was announced Mr.. Staples
changed his vote to nay for the purpose
of moving a reconsideration, so that the
official record stood IS yeas to 81 nays.
There were seven absentees, and if
every member had been present the
bill would have passed. AS it is, the
friends of the bill are very confident
they can get the requisite So votes
when the bill is reconsidered. Upon
the vote being reached the house i'm
mediately adjourned.
The senate also INDUCED in an elab-
crate debate, though not of so exciting
a character. The contest was over the
house bill providing for the organiza-
ton of the unorganized counties of
Cass and Beltrami. The bill was fin
ally recommended to pass, although
there were % votes in favor of indef-
mite postponement.
A bill was passed for a constitutional
amendment giving women the right to
vote at municipal elections for officers
of library boards. They already have
the right to vote for school board Off
GERS. A bill was also passed forbid
ding companies being organized to deal
exclusively in tax titles, and another
authorizing the organization of insur-
| auce companies to insure against loss
by burglars and robbers.

Municipal CORRUPTION,

The trial of Chas. F. Haney, ex-city
clerk of Minneapolis, upon the charge
of bribery, resulted in his acquittal,
the state being unable to prove the
charge. During the trial Alderman
G. Drew testified to finding 5000 in cur
rency in one of his books, but did not
know how the money came there. This
money he kept and spent. Immediately
after the trial Drew was arrested upon
the charge of perjury.
