There has been some unrest
amongst the Indians on the reser-
walton of late, occasioned by the
progress of railroad construction.
The government required a de-
posit, in the sum Of 5000, 900, from
the Northern Pacific railroad as
guarantee Of fair treatment Of the
Indian land owners. A commits
sioner was to be appointed to appor-
ton the individual damages to the
holders Of Indian allottments. The
railroad has not waited for this ad.
lustment. 1t was not suspected
they would wait, but they have
proceeded under their guarantee
to build their roads across the In
dams farms. desecra,ing their an
cestral holdings and even their
ancient graveyards. This method
OF proceeding without consulting
the land owners aroused indigna-
ton. The Indians. not unlike ordi-
nary white people, held public
meetings and condemned the gov
eminent and the railroads, and
some of the ropulists among them
talked ugly about all the white
race. Their pow wow, however.
came to naught, as wiser counsel
prevailed. They resolved at these
later meetings to employ counsel
to defend their rights before the
courts. There never was any dan
ger of violence. but there are howl
ers among the Indians, as among
the whites, and their kicks cause
timid white people some uneasi-
ness. This kicking has now SUBJ
