DRAINAGE LAW SUSTAINED
Decision Of Judge Pollock Affirmed by the
Supreme Court.


FARGO, N. D.-The officials Of Cass
county are rejoicing over the decision of
the supreme court, which affirmed Judge
Pollock in the drainage cases. There
were about seventy-five plaintiffs alto
gether and some of the suits were COM
bined. Judge Pollock heard nineteen Of
them and called in Judge Lauder to hear
the remainder. The supreme courts de-
cision is q sweeping one and sustains
the law In every form. 1t holds that the
actions Of the drainage board have been
fully authorized and the assessments were
levied in a regular manner. One rather
unusual coincidence Is that the decision
followed SO closely that the Minnesota
supreme court which also upheld the
drainage law Of that state.

ment Red Tape.

ment Red Tape.
CASS LAKE, MINN.-Chief Falmouth
recently visited Major Scott, acting in
dian agent at the Leech Lake agency. and
Informed him that the Indians were very
restless and that it was difficult for him
TO keep them quiet unless the annuity was
quickly paid. with the stumpage money.
A few weeks ago the Indians refused to
take their annuity of IS each until they
were paid the money owing by the gov
ernment for the stumpage, which amount
each, making a total Of $40 for each In
dian. The Washington authorities wired
that this would be done, and SO the Indi-
ans were informed by the agent, but
weeks have passed and the money is not
paid. Meanwhile the cold weather has
come and the Indian is wholly unprepare
TO meet it. The women and the children
are suffering with cold, and hunger. The
Indians are restless and the other day the
chief came and said he. could not keep
them in check; they were much dissatis-
fed. They do not blame the local agent,
but the men at Washington.
Major Scott Is anxious to have them
paid, but at present fears an outbreak.
The fact remains that the chief has
warned the major. The Indian agency has
prepared new list and sent it to Wash
angton, and expects the money will be here
about Dec /. The Indians will suffer
much before that, and if they are peace
full it will be because they trust the ma
dor.

A DASTARDLY PLOT.

Pottsville. Pa, Nov. 15.-Coal and iron police
men to-day discovered destardly plot to blow
up portion of the Philadelphia Reading
railroad not far from Eagle Hill colliery. Some
ninety sticks Of dynamite were found placed
under the rails in such way that the pressure
OF cars passing over that portion Of the railroad
would set them of. That the road was not
blown up was due to the slipping of nail which
had been arranged to. strike the cap which
would have discharged the explosive, several
trains having passed the road before the
dynamite was discovered.
