a boldness and cunning rarely seen in
one so young.
The lad sat unconcernedly in court

as he fumbled his hat with grimy
hand and cast quick side glances at the
court. His face was covered with dirt
and his clothing was ragged ana untldy.
In the rear of the court room crowd
of his playmates looked on with inter-
est as the boy pleaded.
I'm guilty. l guess" said the lad,
when the court had finished reading the
information charging him with steal
ing Clark's money.
He had previously confessed the
crime to Officer Vreeland. who signed
the information against him yesterday
morning because Clark had been re-
turned the money by the father Of the
boy and ha .drefused to appear.

TRIAL OF FRANK EARL.
Lawyers Are Arguing on the Question
OF Jurisdiction.

Special to Times Republican.
Cedar Rapids, Sept. 30.-Judge Smitil
Mcpherson heard the arguments this
forenoon on the question of jurisdiction
raised by the attorneys appointed to
defend E'rSnk Earl for the murder of
Seepo, on the Indian reservation at
Tama, and has taken the matter home
with him for consideration. He Will
arrive at a decision between now and
the time set for the trial. Oct. IL.
Major Milo P. Smith. for the de
fense presented a number OF au-
thorities to substantiate his conten-
ton that Earl should be tried in the
court of Tama county. for the reason
that the lands occupied by the Sac and
Fox Indians are not a reservation. He
claimed that the government has never
made a reservation of those lands and
that the property occupied by the In
dams was purchased by them from
whites who had entered 1t originally
from the government. The real reser-
walton of tl.is tribe Of Indians, he said,
is in Kansas, but that they had wan
dered away from it and settled on the
lands at Tama and they had been In
possession of them ever since.
Onlteu States LlSlilSl AlioAhSS Avn
MILAN declared that the Indians were
wards OF the general government and
were under It's protection. and the
fact that they are in charge OF an
Indian agent appointed by the gov
ernment, and the further fact Of their
relations with the general govern
ment in receiving annuities from it,
etc. shows that the intent of the law
Is to recognize the territory occupied
by the Indians as reservation, not
withstanding that they may own 1t.
The district attorney cited case
where similar question Of jurisdiction
was raised in Wisconsin where Chip
pewa Indian had committed murder on
territory which was not reservation
ground. The case was finally tried In
the federal court.
