The Florlda Indians.

The Indian question, says n corre-
Post. is so associated in most minds
with the west that few persons recall
the fact that we have a good many red
men still In the east, living in charac-
teristic Indian fashion and their prog
ress in civilization subject to the same
drawbacks as that Of their western
brethren. The most interesting of
these are the Florida Seminoles, OF
whom there are between four hundred
and six hundred scattered through the
Everglades Until within little while
no one thought OF disturbing them
there. for they were living on land be-
longing to the United States and In q
district which no one else cared to oc-
cupy. Various speculative schemes
for redeeming the Everglades have
been pushed TO the front of late, how
ever, and. to crown all, the United
States government has decided to make
n gift OF this tract to the state of Flor
ida. With the prospect that the land
occupied by the Indians might become
valuable. there arose local demand
for their removal to some spot where
they would be out OF the way OF white
development OF the country; and n
board OF trustees appointed by the
state government TO select site for n
permanent reservation has reported to
the governor.

Football Game at Snowflake Park
Monday Afternoon.

tomorrow afternoon there viii be
football scrimmage Snowflake Park
mot Oak Park, as originally intended
between the Chico High School team

teams have been training for some
time for this event, and it is expected
20 be very lively and exciting game.
All the stands at Snowflake Park re-

For three years the boys have always
mad rainy weather when they played
here, but from present indications to-
morrow win be a fine day. The game,
however. will come off, rain or shine.
Many people prefer to see a football
game in the mud, but the Comus Club
would rather play on a dry field.
The team here has been working
harder than ever, and although the
Chico boys are heavier, they expect TO
win. However, the visitors are conf
dent, and one of the best games OF the
season should result
From all reports both sides are put
ting up excellent team work, but the
Comus team is thought to have the
best individual players. Whether or
not they viii be able to beat down
their heavier opponents from Chico, as
was the case in the recent Woodland
game, remains to be seen.
There has been one change in the
line-up Of the Comus team. Left tackle
