Trouble Feared.

The burning of the Indian village at
Mile Laos lake by Sheriff Edward C.
Leggett is reported. 1t is also init
mated that serious trouble will ensue
owing to this destruction of property.
AS far as can be learned, it, appears
that recently the sheriff notified the
Indians of the village to remove from
the tract of land on which their tepees
were situated. They refused, claim
ing ownership of the ground in ques-
ton
The sheriff, on May 26, according to
reports, with number of deputies, re-
moved the effects belonging to the In
dlans, and then set FIRE to their huts
1t is contended that the land in ques-
ton is claimed by man named Ken
nedy, and that it was through his eff
forts that the sheriff was induced to act.
1t is possible that owing to the wiser
council of their chief the Indians will
permit the United States district attor-
ney to adjust the difficulty. Gov Van
