WHAT THE INDIAN WILL GET.

Uncle Sam to Give Them Eighty Acres OF
Land and Farming Implements.
By accepting.the terms of the agree.
ment the indians are to remove to
White Earth or Leech lake as they de-
sire where the government will pro-
vide them eighty acres of land, a
yoke OF oxen or span of horses, a
wagon, comfortable dwelling, cook
stove and such agricultural implements
as are necessary to cultivate farm,
together with subsistence, until he
himself can obtain enough from the
farm to sustain himself and family.
Two years ago when D. b. Robbins
was in Washington with some of the
Indians an attempt was made to settle
with the Indians and the sum of SIG, 900
was agreed upon unreasonable compen-
sation for improvements, etc., the In
dams had made at Mile Lac lake, but
Gus Beaulieu and the Indian Rights

bill through congress- and the matter

CONCLUSION OF INDIAN COUNCIL.
Plaintive and Pathetic. Speeches by the
Ojibways at the.Last Council. *.
: LAWRENCE, Aug. 26th, l9O2.-The
removal of the Mile Lac band of In
dians is now an established fact. After
q week spent in councils and pow vows
the. government officials have finally
concluded an agreement with the In
dians, the terms of which contemplate
the payment of $4,000 by the govern
ment and the subsequent removal of
the Mile Lac Indians. The officials
are now appraising the lake shore i'm
provements of the Indians, having
chartered Rutherford's gasoline launch
for the purpose, and it issex peeted that
the treaty will be concluded the latter
part of this week. There is no posi-
sibiiity of dispute over the appraisal,
for the government will distribute the
entire $40, 900 irrespective of improve
ments, which makes the appraisal
merely perfunctory task.
=, The consent of the Indians to remove
was gained only by the exercise of the
greatest tact and diplomacy by In
spector Mclaughlin and Agent Mich
elet. At several times the Indians
were on the point of abandoning the
council hall and serving an ultimatum
to the effect that they would stay on
Mile Lac and fight for their land, but
it was the skill and diplomacy of the
inspector against the ignorance of the
Indian, and it was the old story, the ex-
pert won out. $3.50,

THE HISTORIC OJIBwAYs.

How They Displaced the Sioux at Mile
the Whites-Their Anomalous Position
During Past Years.
The. passing of the small band of
Mile Lac Indians. the Ojibways as
they are known in history, forms an in
teresting chapter of fidelity and pathos,
on the part of the Indian and of decep-
ton and fraud on the part of the white
man. The removal of the Mile Lac
Ojibway forms an epoch in the history
OF this faithful and brave race of red
men, who years ago displaced the Sioux
Indian from his habitations in the
country around and tributary to Mile
Laos lake.
