The homesteaders in the western part
OF the county are being put to a great
deal OF trouble and annoyance by the
"scrip fends' who ara contesting nearly
all OF the homesteads that have any
timber and placing scrip on them. They
have also began placing scrip on the
squatters' claims in e0-4 west which is
still unsurveyed. The settlers should
form combination ard see if something
cannot be done to put stop to their
swendling game. Their policy is to con-
test claim and then buy the relinquish-
ment Of the claimant for small fraction
of what the claim is worth.

Mrs, Bluesky, an Indian woman living
near Lutsen. has become insane, but
whether her insanity is of the temporary
sort cannot yet be ascertained. It came
on her about two weeks ago while she
and her husbond were visiting at Beaver
Bay. While there it appears she got
outside of little too much "fre water"
and as result was arrested by police
man who put pair of handouts on her.
She became frightened at this and has
since immaglned that her wrists are
poisoned. Her main desire seems to be
to get away from those taking care of
her. About four o'clock Thursday she
stole out Of their camp at Carriboo Point,
while her husbond was sleeping, and
came to Grand Marais without shawl
or other wraps. DR., Jones visited her
yesterday morning and prescribed for her
but was not very sanguine as to her 70
covery.
