Cass Lake Band Not Involved.
At the time of the Sugar Point trouble,
Indian runners were sent all over the
Chippewa reservation, requesting that the
Cass Lake band of Chippewas go to Bear
island and assist the Pillager band in their
fight with the authorities. Governor Dave

Cass Lake, Mimi, Aug. 5.-The people of
Cass Lake have witnessed the gradual
transformation of the Chippewa Indians
from a wild and uncouth condition into
useful and progressive American citizens
When the first white settlement of proper
tions was started here five years ago last
winter, the Indians did not take kindly to
the presence of the white men,. 1t was
about this time that the Pillager band
was becoming obstreperous, and mutter-
ings of discomfort and exhibitions Of anger
were Of frequent occurrence. The Pilla-
gers contended they had been robbed by
the lumbermen and that they had been
arrested on trumped-up charges. taken to
Duluth to stand trial, and after spending
weary days in confinement, finally had. a

According to the decision in the Ii

ton Of the Carnegie library, which
has been d bone Of contention for the
past year or more, has at last been
settled. This new will be received
with satisfaction by every citizen OF
Las Vegas wherever their views as To
The suitability of the location may be.
There were many on both sides Of
the river who, during the long months
when Tie question was up for settle
ment. were opposed TO the choice OF
Hillsite park for the library. When
this site Was finally eaosen, however,
the opposition on the east size ceased
because of the feeling that II was
clearly impossible TO plea5e every one
and that any further contention in the
matter was likely to result in losing
The library entirely. Certain Of the
citizens of the west side, on the other
hand. felt thai their interests had
been entirely ignored in the matter
and that il were better to prevent
the erection Of the library entirely
than to allow ii to proceed in the
park. Accordingly, they asked for
an Injunction on several grounds, as
