INDIANS MUCH EXCITED
MEMBER OF THE MENOMINEE
TRIBE SUPPOSED TO BE DEAD.
His Friends Think He Was Shot by a
White Hunter, and Threaten TrOu-
BILE in Northern wisconsin.

MARINETTE, Wis, Nov. 1S.-It is
learned from superintendent John Burke,
of the Peshtigo Lumber Company. that
there is great excitement among the In
dians on the headWaters of the Eagle river,
in the northern part of Marinette county,
over the disappearance OF one of the In
dians. who has been missing for a week.
Charles Keshena, one of the best known
Indians In that part of the country ap-
peared at one of the Peshtigo Company s
camps on Saturday and said that his
brother Indians were greatly excited over
the disappearance of one OF their tribe and
claim that he was killed by some white
hunter who killed him by mistake, taking
him for a deer, and then fed.
The Indians firmly believe he was killed
by a white man and are determined on
vengeance. The name of the missing In
dian is not known. The Indians are of the
Menominee tribe and have a small settle
ment on Eagle river. Keshena expressed
considerable alarm, and all the white hunt
ers In that locality are being warned. 1t
Is probable that there will be a general
exodus soon the excitement among
the Indians becomes known. The Eagle
river region is IT, the wilds of Marinette
county and one If the best deg hunting
districts in Wisconsin. -
