member the high school horse which
was put through drills in front of the

tervals in the afternoon programme.
The horse, a high school Cleveland

peka, and is pronounced by connois-
seurs of horsehesh as the best high
school horse in Topeka NJ. A Low

stantly teaching him something new.
He is just as docile and gentle as he
can be. In addition to being a highly
trained thoroughbred, he is a fine
driver. When I first got him he
weighed 875 pounds, and since that
time has gained $50 pounds. I am
hoping that he won't get very much
heavier. as 1t may interfere somewhat
in the work which I have cut out for
him. Cleveland is very intelligent.
Though It is only matter of a few
months of training, he has caught on
so readily that everyone who has seen
him drill believes that with continued
training he will develop into a most
remarkable example of the high
school horse. Flattering offers have
been received to exhibit him, but I
have refused all of them, preferring
to wait little longer before I take
him out on the road"
Cleveland is one of the handsomest
saddle horses in Topeka. He stands
about 16 hands high, and is beau
tifully moulded.

ATTACHMENT
DISSOLVED
On Motion Judge McClenna.
han Issues Order Dis
solving Attachment.

The attachment made in the
case of Biteman & Dumas against
A. K. Hall was quashed yester-
day by an order of Judge Nc
Clennahan.
Mr.. Hall, a resident Of Little
Falls, Mimi, wassengaged in log
ging operations at Dexteryille,
Mimi, and the plaintiffs were his
contractors. The plaintiffs quit
work, entered suit against Hall
& Collins for the value of their
alleged services and attached
about $1,000 worth of poles and
logs which were banked on the
right of way near Dexterville.
The poles and posts were piled
in such manner that Mr.. Hall
was obliged to cease his logging
operations until such time as they
could be removed.
Gibbons & Torrance appeared
for the defendant, A. K. Hal
obtained an order to show cause
from Judge Spooner, returnable
before Judge McClennahan at
Brainerd on Feb. 13, when they
secured an order vacating the at
tachment and directing the
sheriff to immediately deliver
the property to Mr.. Hall.
The grounds set up in the aft.
davit for attachment were that
the defendant, Hall, had disposed
of portion of his property with
intent to defraud his creditors
and was about to d ispose of the
remainder of his property with
the same intent. But the evid
ence wholly failed to establish
such a state of facts. In the
memorandum attached to the or
der vacating the attachment
Judge McClennahan says, Con
sidering all the affidavits submit
ted by the defendant, and giving
due weight to those omitted by
the plaintiffs, the showing in the
defendants favor is practically
conclusive, and it would be an in.
justice to hold his property
longer"
Mr.. Hall states that he intends
to Immediately bring an action
against Biteman & Dumas and
the sureties on their bond for
damages sustained by reason of
the attachment of his property

yet too rude to wear the silken
glove Of disease. It marked it's
victims with the drunken knife
and the reckless falling tree. The
sun sickened at the rowdy s open
knife and the night weayed tales
of disappearing men and suppos-
ed suicides. Yet the gallows
hungered and the moral element
cried in vain for a hanging.
An ambitious county attorney
decided to boost law and order by
finding an example where vigor-
Gus prosecution would not tie a
voters moose around his own
neck. He sought a culprit with
out bothersome friends or aggEa

Weaver. The two men had left
town together one night, when
both was so full of squirrel"
whiskey that the scenery was
revolving rapidly. Weaver had
not been seen since.
Bruce had cheerfully brought
upon himself the chilling eye of
suspicion, and now was warming
in the sssweat box
"Young man. said the attor-
ney with a lordly air, "you had
better make a clean breast of the
whole affair. A crime has been
committed, and you had better
throw yourself upon the mercy
Of the court. If you pretend to
be innocent, it may lengthen the
agony, increase the cost of the
case and thus increase the sever
ity of the jury, who are tax pay

He might have added that a
speedy conviction would hasten
his own chances for reelection,
but this was unnecessary. Bruce
confessed as cheerfu]ly as though
he was describing a bowery
dance.
He admitted that he and Wea-
yer had quarreled while going
home from town, and in a drunk
en- rage had stabbed his best
friend. He dragged the corpse
home and burned in a brush
heap. He broke into small pieces
the unconsumed bones and fed
them to his chickens.
Justice is a tickle dame. Bruce
did not remain in jail until the
converting of the court. Wild

Indians Do Not Like Idea of
Having Land Taken Away
By Railway.
COUNCIL OF ALL THE CHIEFS
WILL BE CALLED.
Chief May.dWa.no.ding Says
Delegate Must Be Sent to
Major Scott.

J. G.. Morrison, the Red Lake
merchant, was in the city last
night and told Of a rather inter-
esting state of affairs existing
among the Red Lake tribe of
ChippeWas. Mr.. Morrison was
asked what the feeling among
the Indians was regarding the
bill passed in congress to grant
the Minneapolis, Red Lake &
Manitoba Railway company the
800 acre tract of land for termi-
nal and tewnsite purposes. Mr..
Morrison replied as follows:
"The feeling among the In
dians is very bitter against the
railway company and also against
the government for taking away
land that belonged to them. They
think the government has no
right to do this, and look upon
the action as entirely unjustif-
able. AS I understand the bill,
the railway company will have
the privilege OF selecting any
tract they desire, and if this is
true there is no end to the
trouble that may ensue. The
oldest chiefs of the tribe live
along the shores of the lake near
the agency, and all Of them have
cleared and cultivated gardens
for many years past. If this
land is selected, the removal of
all these Indians will be necessi-
tated, and the gardens and
/ homes Of the aged chiefs will be
entirely destroyed and they will
be compelled to begin the clear.
ing of other tracts anew.
'Of course this is objected to
by the Indians. who were prom
ised last fail by Major McLach-
Ian, at the time the townships
were bought by the government,
that no more land would be taken
away from them until all their
allotments had been secured. AS
a matter of fact, not one allot-
ment has been taken by the In
dams, consequently the i'll feel
ing against the government and
the railway company.a
"May diva no-ding, head chief
of all the Chippewas on the Red
Lake reservation, has decided to

ing will take place in the near
future. The object of the coun-
Gil will be to send a delegate to
Major Scott, acting Indian agent,
to protest against the act of the
government and it is thought by
the chiefs that he will take care
Of the matter to the best possible
advantage of the Indians.
EVERY mem Der of the tribe
look upon Major Scott as his

in him by the Indians is the re-
suit of his untiring interest in
the tribes of which he is the act
