Special to The Journal.
Crookston, Mimi, May Large numbers Of
Indians Of the White Earth and Red Lake

supreme court decision upholding the right OF
the reds who have renowned, their tribal rela-

On the White Earth the majority have taken
allotments, renowned their tribal relations and
assumed possible the civilized Gus
toms and manners of their white neghbors and
brothers. Upon this reserva ton, therefore, the
greatest harm will be done by the recent de-
cision, for upon Red Lake the Indians are Of a
more wild and native character. The majority
Of them do not mingle with the whites, do not
change their time-honored customs or tribal re-
lations and will not take allotments. ~
At White Earth, where the civilized Indians
are numerous, the result of the decision, IT

increased rate Of mortality which will result
from the bestowal to Lo of all the rights of
