Milaca Times: The Indians and
their chiefs have often declared that
they will die first rather than give
up the reservation, and on opening
the reservation the settlers should be
at least amply provided with pro-
lection by the government from any
possible hostility on the part of the
Indians. As q matter of precaution
the government should station a
small body of soldiers at some point
or points at Mile Lacs lake until the
Indians are removed. Some diff
Guilty would attend an attempt to
remove the Indians, but q compro-
mise might be effected by allowing
them to visit their old reservation
on time permits issued By the agent
at White Earth, and allowing only 9
small number Of them to be at Mile
Laos lake at i time. It is the large
number congregated invite settle
ments that usually cause trouble.

OUR JOSEPH.
:. -z-.z- .,... :
st. Cloud Paper Says He is
Bogus.

st. Cloud Times: A St. Cloud
physician was called upon this week
to attend man who had an ex-
pensive experience with an alleged
healer at St. Paul. This man was
formerly located at Little Falls, and
the papers there have exposed him
several times, but he still seems to
'be doing a flourishing business.
Many OF his victims are people in
this part OF the state. Several cases
are reported from Benton county.
The fellow refuses to see anybody
without the payment in advance OF
a IS fee. In the case of the st. Cloud
man it was paid, and the patient
was ushered into a room, where
there were five others who had paid
"a like amount to be admitted to the
healing department. The healer
stood up before them and pretended
to go into a trance for few minutes
and then assured his patients that
"they were cured, but in order to re-
main so, they must have faith in him.
The st. Cloud man said he had a
brother in another part of the state
who was sick. Distance cut no
figure with the healer, and upon be-
ing paid another IS, he meditated a
few seconds and then announced that
the man would recover at once with
a little faith. It is needless to say
that they are still suffering from
their ailments, but are perhaps a
little wiser. The St. Cloud man said
that the healer's waiting room was
crowded all day long, and he seemed
to be reaping a golden harvest OF
five dollars.

Disappearance oil John Coo
bank Thought to be

JOSEPH, Divine H
HEALER
The Little Falls Man Warm
Gets Roast from a ST.
Cloud Newspaper.

The badly decomposed body OF a
man, supposed to be John Coobank
was found in swamp about fifteen
miles north of Pierz, on Monday, by
Mrs. Pilaski, who lives In the vicin-
ity. Coroner Trace was notified and
went out Wednesday, accompanied
by Deputy Coroner L. D. Brown.
The body was found in bad shape,
having been partly eaten by wolves,
and most of the clothes gone. In
the pocket OF the trousers was found
anopened knife, with the blade bent
backward. The coroner's theory is
that the man stumbled over log,
and fell down, the open knife piercing
his thigh and severing an artery.
The garment near the pocket was
saturated with blood, which tends to
confirm this theory, which is prob
, ably the true one The coroner de-
! cided that no inquest was necessary
and ordered the remains buried.
. From the size OF the body, age and
place where found, it is believed that
the dead man is John Coobank, a
single man who took homestead in
that vicinity about two years ago,
and who mistcriously disappeared
last July. So far as known, he had
no relatives. His homestead was in
Ripley town.

The low stage OF water is bother
ing the Minneapolis lumberman con-
siderably. It was the intention to
start a drive here last week, but the
river has fallen so low that the Boom
company will have to wait for hi igher
water to begin. There are about
rs, 100000 feet OF logs in the river
between Little Falls and st. Cloud,
and 25,OOO,OO0 Of Minneapolis logs

the river is caused by the holding
back of water on the up-river
streams for the drives.
