tion suits.

ported that he could for the sum of
$3.50 build the new reservoir one foot
higher and make it of the same di-
as the other reservoir. hold.
ing the same amount of water.

SUIT FOR INJUNCTION.
Chippewa Indian Alleges Illegally of
Forest Reserve Act

Joseph Naganab, member of the tribe
of Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, and
chef Of the band formerly occupying the
Fon-du-lac reservation, today Instituted
proceedings in equity for injunction, in the
District Supreme Court against the Secre-
tary of the Interior.
1t is explained that one of the purposes
and objects of the act Of June q 1902, Is
to authorize the setting aside of about
$4,000 acres Of pine land as a perpetual
forest reserve and to So restrict the sale
of the remaining timber on certain reserva-
lions to make the same of 40 value to
the complainant and other Indians. The
act is declared to be in violation of trust
under which all of the lands were con-
veyed to the United States.
The complainant contends that he and
all the other Chippewa Indians in Mime
sofa had, at the passage of the act and
still have a vested and indefeasible interest
IN the execution of the trust mentioned,
and the funds to be derived therefrom. The
act. II is declared, is not only in violation
of the trust, but is in direct conflict with
article of the Constitution of the United
States, in that it deprives the ChippeWas Of
Minnesota of their property without COM
pensation, and without due process of la W.
Notwithstanding the alleged uncOnStitu-
tiOnality of the act, it is pointed out that
the Secretary of the Interior has set aside
nearly 100000 acres of pine lands per-
petual forest reserve and refused to carry
into effect the trust and TO sell and dispose
of the same required by the cession
The value of the timber on the lands set
aside is claimed to be at least S3,oDOO1
and the complainant says that he and the
other Chippewas of Minnesota will suffer
damage TO that amount by the carrying
into effect of the void act"
Justice Anderson directed that n rule
