Trouble has been brewing among the Canadian
Indians, who number some twelve hundred ever
since the Federal Government attempted to carry
out that provision Of the Indian act which pre-
scribes that chiefs shall be elected every three
years while the Indians desire to retain their old
tribal system Of life chiefs. The American Indians
have backed them up and on March ~ last a
riot occurred on the reservation, when two DO
mnion policemen were assaulted and elected from
the village, and the Indian agent, George Long,
was locked in his hous. and by these means an
election was prevented. The authorities at Ottawa
deferred action until yesterday when Colonel Percy
Sherwood quietly left Ottawa by the Canada At
