NEW ORLEANS WORST DAY.
Thirty-Nine New Fever Cases and
Five Deaths.

Even as early as 9 o'clock Friday even

number of deaths that had been reported.
The increase in cases was not unexpected.
The large territory the board of health has
to cover makes perfect scrutiny impossible,
germs are being distributed which, if the
totality of eases was fewer, would easily
be restrained. While the number of eases
under treatment are in the neighborhood
of $50, there arc many houses which have

noted Sioux chief, called upon Senator.

lands near Armandale and ROndell whicl,
they occupied in the early years of the set
clement of this country. Drifting Goose
was armed with u formidable array of
documents, among them the original treaty.
of 1926, bearing the signature of President
Monroe. The land in question was form
ally opened for entry in 1880, and was,
speedily appropriated by the whites.
Goose claims that President Hayes in 1879
issued all executive order setting apart
three townships for their use and benefit,
and it is upon this alleged proclamation
that they lay the chief stress. Senator
Kyle took notes of their contention and
forwarded them to the interior department.
IL is not believed tic Indians have a good
claim. They desire to gain the historic
precincts of Armandalc because their Crow
Greek lands, they contend, are too poor to
support the 300 families assigned to them.
