The WHITE EARTH j COUNCIL,

Yesterday the chiefs Of this res
ervation met in council, to discuss
the Morris Act, and to take action
in regard to the preparation OF a
petition to the President asking
him to suspend the sale of the pine
timber as provided by the act.
The council met at three o'clock
and was in session about two hours
during which time the act was
read.
Joseph Charrette, after the act
was read, addressed the council
and suggested that in view of the
Importance of the matter under
discussion some time should be
had in considering what action to
take; that. the act contained many
clauses which were new to many
and therefore not understood.
After the discussion regarding
the date of another meeting of the
council, it was finally decided to
adjourn until today and to invite
Father Aloysius and other mis-
sionaries to be present at the coun-
Gil, and to have them read and in
terpret the act.
The sentiment of the council,
however, was apparently very
strong in it's opposition to the act,
and several of those who were
present stated, unqualifiedly. that
they would sign any petition
against it.

the Hotel Walton in Philadelphia, Pa
for the recovery Of s453. rs, the value
Of the contents of a lost while in
charge Of the porter Of the hotel,
where Mrs. Sanders was guest in
July, 1902. The case heard in
Common Pleas court No /, hinged
upon the point whether this be-
list Of femme fnery could
be packed in an ordinary satchel."
H. B. Gill, attorney for the Hotel
Walton assailed the case with con-
fdent aid, He said:
"We acknowledge tls loss and
responsibility for the satchel and its
contents. but this looks to us like
,ase of stuffing the jury box. ] defy

SAFELY
RESCUED

After 4 number of fruitless efforts
all of them involving more or less dan
ger, as we'll as daring, the hunters
who have been on an island in
Devils Lake since Tuesday, were
rescued about 5 o'clock this morning
and are nov safe. They had nothinp
to eat during the time except a single
lunch, but are otherwise not much the
worse from their thrilling experience.
All day Wednesday parties tried
to recue them from the island by
attempted approaches from the north
side of the lake, but the direction of
the wind and the immense waves pre-
vented the boats from getting far
from shore. Warren White succeed
ed in getting within two or three
hundred yards of the prisoners when
he broke an oar. One of the party on
the island waded into the water as far
as possible and sent one of their oars
adlift, but White missed it and was
compelled to drift back.
Last night rescuing parties left here
and later procuring a large boat from
Capt. Herman crossed the Pelican
Point bridge an drove to a point on
the south shore of the lake where
they could launch the boat and allow
it to drift in the direction of the is-
land. Capt. Thomas Lonnevick took
the boat and made a daring and sue
cessful attempt to rescue the unhappy
prisoners. By drifting with the
wind and making a desperate battle
with the waves in the darkness, he
succeeded in landing on the island.
All were taken aboard and then
another battle with the angry waves
was commenced. The party drifted
and rowed as best they could, some
times seemingly engulfed in the val
ley, at other times riding waves
which seemed mountains. After a
long and fearful struggle they sue
ceeded in making shore several miles
from where the boat was launched.
Capt. Lonnevick is a hero today.
The boys had been able to protect
themselves from the elements by
scooping out holes in the island and
then turning their own small duck
boats over them. Around these they
piled a large number of ducks which
they covered with sand, and after
crawling in, filed the a%perature from
the inside. They were hungry and
wern out, however, with their long
vigil. The island has no wood and
they were without fire. The escape
was a narrow as we'll as thrilling
one.
