WALKER, Mimi. Oct. 16-Tbe In
dian uprising is over. The deveIon-
hIellos on today seem to show this be-
vono question. A council will be held

probably surrender at that time. There
may be delay, but Wednesday is fixed

nmlt of time that will be asked by the
hostlIes before submitting to arrest.
All signs indicate that the Indians
are sincere In their promise to end the
war oy submitting. A council was held
at Black Duck Point, at which the sit
uatlon was thoroughly discuss d. A
report was made to the hostiles Of the
councils held at the agency, and after
the protracted discussions usual in
such cases, where the Indians are con-
Wened, 1T was decided to submit.
Nhe only hostile who stands ont is
Bug, the old man who has been large
~ responsible for the trouble. He has
not agreed to surrender, and opposes
the policy agreed upon. This. how
ever, will have no effect on the Pilla-
gers If Bug declines to abide bv the
decision Of the council at Black Duck
Point, they will hand him ever to the
authorities themselves.

The council next Wednesday promises
to be quite interesting.A few prominent
Indians of Leech lake were in town
today and said the council Wednesday
would develop something new. They
are tired of this horse play, and. al
though they have kept quiet so far,
they don't propose to keep silent any
longer.
OTHER SIDE OF IT.
One Of the chiefs said that whisky
and the arrest of Bug were the only
causes Of the trouble. They favored
logging operations and claimed that
many a squaw and child would have
died from hunger had it not been for
the logging. The papers, they said,
have only given one side Of the story.
1--WE have tried to have our side of the
story published" one chief asserted,
but have failed. The only way is to
express ourselves at the next council
and then they will have to publish it.
We have kept silent because we did
AIOl wait 10 put OUSldCi6S III the way
of the peace negotiations. We can't
stand it any longer and propose to have
our say"
Falmouth, head chief Of the Pill
lager Indians, has consented to at
tend the benefit of the Minneapolis
Press club. and will be in Minneapolis
when the benefit takes place, with Gus
Beaulieu as interpreter. The old chief
is anxious to appear before a white
audience and will carefully prepare an
address for the occasion.
This means that Thursday afternoon,
Oct. 27, the Lyceum theater will be the
principal scene in the Indian trouble
for the day. The Minneapolis Press
club has had this feature in view for
some time, and it's members at Walker
have been authorized to make arrange
ments. 1t was doubted if the old chief
could be induced to appear.
