BLOW TO THE TRADERS -
Indian Department Will No Longer
C~ountenanca State Law Violations.

CASS LAKE. MINN.-There is something of
CONSERVATION among traders on the Indian reser-
vations who have been selling fish and game
by virtue Of traders licenses. issued by the
Indian department at Washington. by reason
Of the announcement from Washington that
the new commissioner Of Indian affairs. Mr..
Leupp, has issued an order forbidding the pur-
chase of venison, partridges and fish from the
Indians and also forbidding the reds to sell
their game and fish. The superintendent of In
dian schools are told to discontinue furnishing
the inmates of the schools with venison and fish
bought in this manner.
1t has been the custom of the government
to buy game ard fish from the Indians and
traders. under contract. This traffic has been
of the state, altho in a measure sanctioned by
the federal government, and more particularly
by the Indian department.. Sam F. Fullerton,
! executive agent Of the state game and fish com
mission. has shown the unfairness OF the actor
of the Indian department in indirectly encOurag
ing violations Of the state laws.
Many of the traders have taken, advantage
of these conditions and have bought game from
the Indians. often shipping it out. Of the; state
to unprincipled pothunters., The Indians have
also been encouraged in killing game. for the
reason that they have never been interferee
with, so long as they confined themselves to theil
own reservations and use1 the game for theil
own subsistence. Spurred on by the fact tina
traders would buy all they had to sell, the red
have not confined their shooting to the reserva
| season Of the year they desired. This condition
has been presented to Commissioner Leupp, an,
he has issued his orders that no more gam
be bought by the Indian schools. and that tn
Indians cease selling, also that traders be for
bidden to deal In game and fish. .~'

THIEVES
PREY ON LUVERNE
ANOTHER FINE HOME DESPOILED
b BY BURGLARS.
Residence of MIR. and Mrs. Glass Turned
i Topsy Turvey in Their Absence in the
West-Incendiary Fires and Frequent
Robberies Have Banished the Peace
of the Place.

Special to The journal.
Iuverne, Mimi. April 12.-Another house rob-
berry came to light today when Mr.. and Mrs.
w. H. Glass returned from Seattle, WASH,
where they spent the winter. In their absence
their house was closed, and upon entering 1t
they found that it had been ransacked from
cellar to garnet. Every drawer aud box in the
house had been broken into and the contents scat
tered over the floors. At this time things are in
such chaotic condition that it Is impossible for
them to determine how much has been'stolen.
The house was left In charge Of a ncighbor,
who on one of his visits to 1t discovered the rob-
berry. 1t was impossible for him to tell what had
been stolen so as to give &C lue in searching for
thieves. and so he kept the matter quiet until
the owners return.
The robbery was discovered two weeks ago,
which was about the same time that A. D. La
Dues residence was robbed and a large amount
of silverware and several valuable fur coats
stolen. The probabilities are that this house
was robbed al the same time and by the same
persons. The traces left by the robbers in the
Glass, residence would indicate that they spent
nearly the entire night in ransacking the place,
as burned matches and candles were found OH
every floor.
This makes the fifth place burglarized in this
city in two weeks. Coupled with the frightful
incendiary fire on Sunday morning, when twenty
five horses burned to death in the destruction of
the Palace livery barn, it has a dennora lizing
effect on the peace of the city Women are
afraid ito go out alone after dark, or to remain
at home alone during the evening. The officers
are working diligently upon the various cases,
but as vet have not succeeded in securing suff.
cient evidence to warrant arrests.

Malta, Mont. April 12.-Because William
Sitz. his ,stepfather. had chastised him for some
fault earlier in the day. William Arlington. a
12-year-old boy, secured a gun and while SitZ
was ut work is alleged to have deliberately
murdered him.
The shooting occurred at Sites ranch about
eight miles from here yesterday afternoon. SitZ
was a we'll known rancher and had resided in
this community for years. Young Arlington
was arrested, but Is not allowed to make any
statement regarding the affair. The coroner
of Valley county reached Malta from Glasgow
last night and will hold an inquest today.
The affair has created a sensation, as the
boy has heretofore borne a splendid reputation.
Owing to the distance from town and the lack
of communication, it is impossible to learn all
details Of the shooting except that Sitz died
shortly afterward and Mrs. Sitz is heartbroken
over the act Of her son in killing her husband.
The cause of the shooting is supposed to have
been a quarrel between the boy and the step.
father. The boys mother put him out of the
house to prevent further trouble. When she
came out of the house the boy returned and,
securing a rifle. shot at Sitz as he was at the
gate. Sitz ran around the barn and down to
the river. and as he came up the boy shot him
again and he fell to the ground. The boy theI
fired a third time which caused instant death.
