Move to White Earth.

ceedings Of the Mile Lac Indian council
were closed Saturday night at Lawrence

of the Indians was secured to the agree
ment to move to White Earth reservation.
Professor j. V. Brower 4aas been at Mile
Lac lake to locate definitely the site of
the ancient Indian village of Kathio,
which Radisson discovered in 1869. Kat
hto was then a great Sioux village and
had a population Of over 1000. Later the
Ojibways made war on the Sioux and
drove them from the Mile Lac country
forever.
Mr. Brewer has, after two years of
exploration and investigation, came to
the conclusion that the site of Kathio
was on the two hills at the outlet of
Mile Lac lake., which is the source of
Rum river. 1t is his intention to have
a monument erected at this place to COM
memorate the discovery of the ancient
village in Minnesota The monument will
be similar to the one recently unveiled
in Kansas to commemorate the discovery
Of Kansas by Colorado, who turned back
to Mexico in 1541 after a fruitless search
for the seven golden cities of Cibola.
