LAYS ASIDE The Ak INDIANS ARE
Bear islanders Do Not Like Morris
Bill Provisions.
THINK IT'S A "B1a MlTT'' GAME
Falmouth Makes speech and the
Indians Hold Several
Dances.

Letters from Walker Indicate that trou-
BILE with the Bear Island Indians OF Leech
Lake may come as result of the pas
sage of the Morris bill opening the Chip
pewa reservation to settlement. The In
dians are opposed to the white man as
settler on their lands. Tie opposition
was voiced at recent poW-wow by Chief
Falmouth, who made speech express
ing the sentiment of the tribe. He said
the Chippewas had never fought with the
white men until four years ago, when
they considered themselves misused. In
the struggle at that time they did not lose
man. Falmouth said he was at the
head of that outbreak and was not afrid
now, his only fear being for the welfare
of his children, who would certainly starve
because of the ruin of the hunting and
fishing that would follow the settlement
of the reservation by the whites. i
Nothing followed this speech, at least
nothing that was apparent. But several
days ago Major Scott sent notices to the
Indians telling them to call at the agency
to receive their allotments of land. But on
the appointed day not an Indian appeared.
Indeed, they all took themselves off to
the other side of the reservation to pick
blueberries.
The major issued a second call for q
council of. chiefs and braves to meet last
Saturday, saying that allotments of land
would be made whether he Indians came
or remained away Several Indians came
in this time, but they seemed to be fear
full lest they should be steered up against
big mitt game.
It is said that many of the old timers
In the vicinity look. for trouble and hint
at the possibility of shooting. The In
dians have had several dances, and could
easily be worked UP to a pitch at which
a spark would start fight. ..s.t J. ys-.- r,

AN ERROR SOMEWHERE
Mrs. Augusta Batson's Recovery q

Mrs. Augusta Batson's Recovery of
Child Supposed to BE Dead.
Mrs. Augusta Batsen yesterday found
her son whom she had supposed dead for
almost a year. s: -, =.
Mrs. Batson resides at 219h Eighth
street 8. Last August she was sent to
the city hospital to undergo an opera
tion, and her son. Percy then about one
| year old, was taken to Bethany Home to
be cared for during his mothers enforced
absence. -. -
Upon her release from the hospital,
about Christmas time, Mrs. Batson says
she telephoned the home and was told
the child had whooping cough and could
not be moved. Later, she says, she tele-
phoned again, and was informed that the
baby had died and had been buried.
| Recently, however, the child was recog-
nized at the home by friend of the
mothers, who sent her word that little
Percy was there and yesterday she called
and took him away with her: +, ~ F. .
The home authorities say Mrs. Batsor

was told Percy had died. They say the
child may have had whooping cough, but

lonely upon their 100-acre fruit farm, had

s Stephen Day, 9-year-old boy, who says
his home is on farm near Bethel, Mimi,
is at the central police station and the

1t Is Resumed at Devils Lake and
Will BE Pushed.
Special TO The Journal.
Devils Lake, S. D., Aug. 5.-Operations
on the Farmers railroad were resumed
yesterday and are to be completed within
thirty days. The road is the project of
local business men and the farmers along
the line, and will form a branch Of the
Great Northern system. The line begins
here and runs in a northwesterly direc-
tion through Ramsey county, with the new
town of Starkweather, thirty miles away,
as the terminal point. The roadbed has
been completed some time, but owing to
the failure in securing clear title to the
right of-way from numerous farmers the
laying Of rails was deferred until the
matter was satisfactorily arranged. The
new branch will greatly benefit the wheat
,raisers in the northern section, who will
hereafter ship their grain direct from
their farms to the eastern markets.

DEMUR IN WAY CASE
Three of the Defendants Represent

Three OF the Defendants represent
ed: in the Action.
In the federal court case Of Thomas A.
Way against Harry L. jenkins, Anna L.
Jenkins, Iowa and Minnesota Land and
Townsite company, and Henry A. Out
calf, the first three defendants, to-day
filed demurrers to the complaint. #>
The land company protests that the bill
is altogether too multifarious and that
the controversy is entirely between the
plaintiff and Harry L. Jenkins.
The cause of demurrer in part is set
forth in that the plaintiff has not stated
case that entities him in a court of
equity to relief from the defendants; that
it appears no partnership was ever eff
fected and that no completed contract
was entered into; that the agreement at
empted to be alleged is too vague to be
enforced in equity.
The suit was brought by Thomas Way,
of Mason City, Iowa, who opened nego-
tiations with Harry L. jenkins, of this
city to take the Minneapolis & St. Louis
Railroad company's townsite business on
its new line running southwest from New
Ulm. A partnership was formed, it is al
legged, in which Way says that Jenkins
represented that the obligations imposed
by the road were too binding while at the
same time he was negotiating for the
rights and privileges for himself.
