PARK RAPIDS, Mimi, Dec. 8-(Spe-
cial. .)-About a dozen Of the White
Earth Indians have been camped on a.
small lake about fifteen miles north of
here and have been killing game con-
trary to law. Yesterday Game Warden
Stephens, of Detroit, in company with
D. w. Clason, of this place, went out
and attempted to arrest them. The In
dians resisted, refused to be arrested,
drove the men out Of camp and threat
ened to scalp them if they came back.
Stephens and Clason came back to
Park Rapids, swore out warrants and
placed them in the hands of Sheriff
Rombough. The sheriff, acting under
orders from Warden Fullerton, Of ST.
Paul, organized posse of twenty-five
men and went up after the reds. Sheriff
Rombough and some of the men have
returned tonight, and report that no
Indians could be found. Stephens and
the others are still out
Warden Fullerton arrived from ST.
Paul tonight and is waiting for the
arrival Of Stephens. He says, if the
offenders can be identified, he will go
to the reservation and take them. 1t
is supposed they drove Stephens and
Clason away in order to save their
venison and get time to secrete them
selves on the reservation.

ences thinking Spaniards against the
substitution Of King Stork for King
Log, and that is that Don Carlos would
be bound by his own professions to
repudiate the treaty with the United
States, and Spain would thus be in
more deplorable state than ever. She
would not only lose her possessions,
but would forfeit the millions offered
by the United States.
The part of Spain which is causing
the most anxiety on account of the
activity of the Carltsts is the provinces
of Lerida, Gerone. Teruel, Cueonca,
Castilon an Valencia. The detailed
watch in the disaffected districts has
hitherto failed to produce any i'm
