A Monument to Bemfdji.

The people OK Bemidji are talking OF
urging the next legislature to make an
appropriation for monument to be
erected to the memory Of the late Chief
Bemidji. The people of Bemidji think
that the state owes it to the late red
man to take official notice of his pass
ing, because he has always been a
friend to the whites and never failed
to be honest and square with them in
perilous times. It is claimed that he
was very influential in preventing the
Chippewas from joinigg the Sioux in
massacring the settlers at the time OF
the uprising in 1861 while most OF the
heads of families among the white set
tiers were away IN the Union army. 1t
was Chief Bemidji's dying wish that
the whites extend to his grandson
Black Toungle,> aged ten years, the
same kindly attention that they had
always shown him.
