BLACK RIVER FALLS, Wis.-AA great
deal Of speculation is rife over. the out
come of the coming enrolment Of Winnie
bago Indians. They have always been en-
rolled and paid at Black River Falls, but
the notice issued by Special Agent jacob
son calls them to Walker station. The
Indians rarely get home with any money
after a payment. They either spend it
in drunken brawl or are obliged to leave
it as payment for their; supply of provi-
sions bought on credit, Of the merchants.
Should they be paid at Walker this place
will fail to receive about $13 which has
hitherto been paid here. No explanation
can be made for the change Of arrange
ments, unless it be the result Of a petit
ton circulated by the temperance. people
Of this village. The ssl10onkeepers have
been very lax in keeping the law, which
forbids the sale of liquor to the Indians,
and it Is no uncommon occurrence to see
the streets filed with Indians who are
intoxicated.
