4 WORD FOR The
COMMON PREY.

General G. G. Andrews, Grief fire
warden, who complains that the In
dians are on the high road to want
and pauperism fails to remember that
his acts in fostering great National
Park in the midst of the reservation
have conduced more to their harm
than any other condition which lie
refers to. No proof is needed that
the Indian is lazy and imprOvident,
nor is it necessary to offer proof of his
being plundered by the white man:
but the taking of 225OOO acres of his
land without recompense and the con-
tiscation of per cent of his pine tim
Der which the law declares is his pro-
perty, an act which had the full con-
sent of General Andrews, and for the
attainment of which he strained
every nerve in his body looks as if lis
hands were not entirely clean in the
matter. 1t is idle for the park pro-
moters to cry out against the robbery
and probable pauperization OF the In
diahs when the very acts complained
of flow from their own headquarters.

land of the resefyations.-Cass Lake

A DEATH SENTENCE.

Fargo, n. d., June 23.-The
suprume court today decided that
the death sentence of John Rooney,
convicted of murder here last
August, must be carried out.
Rooney and two other men at
tempted to hold up the three
Sweet brothers, of White Earth,
Minnesota, who were camped
near Fargo, enroute to the har-
vest fields. Harold, Sweet was
killed. His brothers captured
Rooney and the other men es-
capped.
The prisner was convicted and
during the trial the legislature
passed q law, changing the place
of executions from counties in
which crimes occurred to the
state penitentiary. Italso changed
the time that must elapse between
sentence and execution to six
months, instead of three. Judge
Pollock, of Fargo, was not in.
formed of the latter change and
sentenced Rooney to be hanged
June 26. When notified of the
error the prisoner was returned
and resentenced to be hanged in
September. His attorneys APP
pealed on the ground that the new
law provided an additional penalty
to that in practice at the time of
conviction in that the condemned
man must be confined six instead
of three months preliminary to
execution and that the latter must
occur in the penitentiary instead
of the county Jail.
The supreme courts decision
upholds the new law, and Roo
ney's execution will be the first to
occur in the pen. Rooney had
formerly been under arres
charged with holding up farm la
borers in the fall.-Sauk Rapids

STUMPACE FUND
EXHAUSTED.

At the suggestion of some Of
the members of this reservation
an inquiry was made through Mr.,
K. S. Murchison, an attorney at
Washington ID. c., regarding the
funds which had been derived
from the sale of tho dead ant
down timber on the Chippewa re-
servations In this state. Mr.. Muir
Gibson being absent from Wash
ington he referred the matter t'
Mr.. j. j. Hemphell. also an at
torney at Washington, who called
on the Indian office for the desire''
information, and in q letter from
that office to Mr.. Hemphill dated
the Doth, the latter is informed
shat by the Act approved May
81, 1902, it is provided that the
money in the Treasury to the
credit of the Chippewa Indians ot
Minnesota derived from stumpagf
on dead and down timber under
the Act of June 7. 1897. should
be paid to SUCH Indians as were
entitled thereto, The provisions
of this act have been complied
with and the stumpage fund is ex-
hausted.'
This information settles the re-
port that there would still be an
other payment of the stuMpagc
fund made this year.
There was some where in the
neiqhborhood of one hundred
and fifty thousand dollars paid
last winter to all the Minnesota
Chippewas in this state from the
dead and down stumpage fund,
exclusive of the amounts that
were paid to the Indians on this
and the Red Lake reservations of
the funds that had accrued from
the sale of the timber on these two
reservations. Those who are best
informed upon the subject state
that the total sum which was de-
rived from the sale Of the dead
and down timber that was cut on
the Lecch Lake, Mississippi and
Winnebegosish observation
amounted to over four hundred
thousand dollars. If this is true,
what has become of it since only
one hundred and fifty thousand
dollars has been paid to the In
dians2

A new RED
Lake TREATY.

Senator Clapp has evidently
concluded that the Red Lake In
dams are justified in their 0hjec-
tions to his amendments in the
Indian appropriation act of this
year, which provide for the open
ing Of the diminished Red Lake
reservation, for Washington
special to the Pioneer Press of
the 9th ult. says that:
"Representatiye Steenerson also
called upon Secretary Hitchcock to-
day and laid before him draft of a
new treaty between the United States
and Red Lake Indians relative to the
cession of certain portions of their
reservation. \ former treaty, which
provided among other matters the
cession of sections IL and SO to the
State of Minnesota for school pnr-
poses, failed of ratification. The de-
tails of the amended proposition,
which it is understood is drawn by
Senator Clapp, are not known, but OF
course a number of concessions are to
be made and the main features rela'
tive to the cession of sections IL and
SO are amended to conform with the
ideas OF the Red Lakers.-St. Paul
Pioneer Press.
In Justice to the Indians con-
cerned the new proposition should
he submitted to them before any
definate action is taken to sub
NIT to the government by those
who are framing it, SO that if it
contains anything objectionate, or
which is likely to meet with OPP
position from the Indians, some
change might be made which
should be satisfactory to all con-
ccrncd.
When the Red Lake ammend-
me,ats were under consideration
by Congress last winter, we sug-
gested to Senator Clapp, and also
to the representative of Thief
River Falls. Mayor Krotka, who
was at Washington lobbying for
the passage of the amendments,
that two or three of the leading
chiefs should be called to Wash
ington to give their views regard
ing the bill, but this suggestion
was ignored. If our suggestion
had been followed we believe an
agreement could have been mad
with the Indians which would
have been satisfactory to every
one.
If the Red Lake Indians are al
lowed a voice in framing the new
proposition, it's acceptance by
them would be assured, otherwise
we doubt if they would sign any
agreement which only permits
them to say Yes! or No!

After hearing this Way-Aah.
bozho WAS convinced that Nokamis
had finally told him the truth, and
for number Of days following
this statement he was finallyJen=
gagged in preparing himself for a
long journey. He painted him
self with many different colored
war-paints which NokQmis pro-.
cured for him from the roots of
plants and from rocks, and he also
wore leggings and and a shirt
worked with colored porcupine
duills, and his war-bonnet was
made from the tail of a deer with
two eagle feathers adjusted in the
centre Of it. This head dress was
the first of it's kind ever made and
Way-nah-boKho said to Nokomis
that if he was destined not to re-
turn from the trip which he in
tended to take. to tell his people,
the Unrish-in-ah-baig, that they
should ndopt his hfad-dress and
with it they would reach the end
of the big woods,
After Wny-mh-bozho had conn
pleted all his preparations he made
II pair of snow shoes and started
for the land Of Mud-che-kewis,
His strides were long and he trav=
elcd rs fast as thought. He soon
reached the realms of Mud-che-
kewis who was expecting him,
When tho latter SAW his son com-
ing he was filled with fear for he
knew that Way-nuh-hpzhp was in
vinciblc. Notwithstanding his fear
of his sol, however. Mud-cI,e-kewis
was very proud of him when he
observed how handsome he was
and how proudly and boldly h.
stepped forward to meet the most
powerful spirit In existence.
Mud.chc-kewis was hf first to
speak, and he said to his son: Il
have waited for your coming
for many moons, and now
welcome you to my realms.
Way.nall-bozho, who had fully
decided to destroy his father cons
cluded he could only do this by
strategy, and replied in a very
polite manner, and said he was
proud to be the son OF q spirit
which nothing could withstand.
Mud-che-kewis was vrry much
nattcred at this compliment and
said: Yes it is only ore thing
that | cannot conquer for it is SO
hard that cannot make impress
sion on it. that is the flint which Is
my neighbor. ;"
After some further talk with
Mud-che-krwis and after having
learned his vulnerable points, Way
nahhozho accused him of having
caused the death of the formers
mother, and informed him of his
intentions of destroying h / m.
Mud-chc-kewis became very angry
and gave strong blast Of wind
from his mouth which chilled
Way-nah-bozho, and then the fight
commenced. 1t lasted three days
and ut the end of that time Mud
che-lSewis became exhausted and
made proposition of peace and
offered Way-nah-bozllo control OF
the Earth and all that was in it.
He said, 81 am immortal and YOU
cannot destroy me, and have not
fought with you seriously but it
was only to try you"

After Way-nah-bozho had climed
to the topmost branches of the
tree, and when only his face was
out of water. it stopped raining,
and tho water ceased to rise. Way
nah-bozho then called together all
the best swimming animals that
were around him. and directed
each one to dive and try and
get enough earth for Sred for
another world, but all of Il EN- fall
ed and were drowned except the
muskrat; this little animal although
it was lifeless when IL returned to
the surface of the water had very
little earth in the creasrs of its
little claws. This Way-nah-bozho
took and blowing life into the
muskrat also blew the grains of
earth that it brought up: and i'm
mediately q small island was
formed. Way-nah-bozho t h n
called to Il fox that was floating
around ON some drift wood, and
directed It to take II mouthful of
earth and let it fall FROM it's mouth
as fast AZ 1t ran around the edge of
the island. The island soon got
80 large that 1t finally touched
another large and strange land.
Here he found his grandmother to
whom he related his experience.
E>Nokomis also told him Of her es-
cape from drowning, and admOn-
ishcd him to not seek any more
adventures as he would not fail to
bring trouble upon himself if he
continued to do 50.
Way.nah-bozho feeling the need
of rest laid down ON mats Of ruslcs
and furs, while Nokomis prepared
feast for him of wild rice and
duck of which he partook very
heartily. On the following day
Way-nah-bozho accused Nokomis
with having deceiving him regard
ing his parents, and lie insisted
that she must tell him everything
she knew about them, aid partic-
ularly regarding the cause of his
mothers death. Nokomis tried to
dissuade him from his purpose Of
learning more of his past and par
entage. for she feared he would
get into further trouble if she told
him the truth. But he was de-
termincd to know everything and
no argument could turn him from
this purpose. Finally Nokomis
spoke to him thus: MY grand
child, you know not what you ask.
You should not let the acts of the
All-wisc arouse in you spirit of
opposition, for he is wise and
powerful, and knows best what is
for our good, and it is not right
that we should seek to know what
he desires to keep from us; were
we permitted to forcsee the hidden
paths of life's journey, our hearts
would ever be in pain and our eyes
would flow with tears. You should,
therefore, be satisfied that you
have been spared and are well in
body and have a strong life, and
that you will some day see your
mother
But Way-nah-bozho was Obdu-
rate and insisted upon knowing
the truth respecting his mothers
death, and the old woman seeing
further dissuation useless said:
''My grandchild, it was You who
killed your mother; she gave her
life that yours might be spared,
but your father, Mah-che-ke-wis,
was indirectly the cause of her
| death. But let me warn you
