Our Senators Sanction Colville Graft.

A Washington dispatch of Monday
says that the bill sppropriating ST..
500 900 to the Colville Indians for sur
rendering the north half OF their res.
ervation, for bold, unalloyed graft, has
no equal, and it is quite as surprising
that it received the votes of both
Washington Senators. The little jok-
or, by which the Indians are robbed OF
ten per cent. of the appropriation, is
clause distributing that amount
among ten lawyers, who claim to have
procured this appropriation. The pro.
vision was secretly slipped in by the
committee, contrary to all
rules of parliamentary procedure. 1t
does not directly authorize the pay.
ment of $4,000 to these lawyers, but
requires the Court OF Claims to deter.
mine the amount each is to receive,
not exceeding $4,000. The only basis
for this claim is an expired contract
with the indiana, Secretary Hitch.
cock having refused to sanction its
considering the scheme as a
pure graft on their part, to draw pay
for services they never have performed.
Senator Piles declared that he bad be-.
lieved that the Indians were not en-
titled to compensation for surrendering
half the reservation, but that q lawyer
who claims benefit from the appropri-
alton had told him the claim was just
and he then worked for it. Then Till
man, in q severe criticism, asked Piles
If he was looking out for the interests
OF the Indians or the lawyers, by such
q course. The fraud is 80 palpable it
is said the President will probably veto
the bill.

SOwING FOR A LARGER HARVEST
Secretary Wilson. OF the Agricultural
Department, Washington. has taken
an unique method for securing that
" honor and respect" accorded the
most favored departments, in construc-
ton of the building for its use. In.
stead of planning for a building to
cost the amount appropriaied-$l.-
500 ,OCO-he has authorized plans for
two wings. involving to complete it, the
erection OF a central structure that
will probably treble the cost of the
completed building. 1t is said TO have
been the intent OF Congress to provide
a finished building At that cost, and
it was with some surprise the members
learned of the colossal plans of the
Secretary. Considerable irritation was
developed during the hearing OF the
matter before the committee on Ap.
and it was characterized
as willful disregard of the spirit and
intent of the law.
JUDGE MILLER FOR GOVERNOR
The name Of Judge Chas. E. Miller. of
South Bend, has been suggested for the
head of the Democratic State ticket,
in 1908, and when asked, while passing
through this city few days ago, if it
was with his consent, he replied: "Yes,
l may be a candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination if Gov. Mead is re.
nominated by the Republicans" Why
not be in the field anyway is the
question that at once rises in the
minds of his friends. He is honest,
and, what some of our execu-
tives have not been-a gentleman; and
as the Jacksonian test places honesty
before competency, we take the liberty
of suggesting that probably the third
qualification we note is quite as i'm
portant in position dealing so closely
with social amenities.

D0BBS' CASE EXPLAINED BY
MISS KOHN,S ARREST.
Young Woman Who Brought
Action Aga inst Firm ia
Under Bail 80 Appear an
South Dakota Court.

Through the arrest of Anna Kroiln, a
detective at Webster, South Dakota, a
new light has been thrown on hel
damage suit against James and Eugene
Dobbs, alleged in her complaint to be
doing business in Minneapolis as the
French Millinery college. She set up
in her complaint that the Dobbs broth
ers represented that they could teach
pupils to cut and fit waists and dresses,
and that she devoted certain sum of
money and five weeks of valuable time
to studies there which profited her
nothing. She sued to recover 1926
which she said represented the tuition
she had paid and the time she had lost.
The Dobbs brothers was somewhat
puzzled by the suit, as between them
they operated two schools, one of mill
inery and one of dressmaking, and Miss
Krohn's action was based on her state
ment that she had studied dremakssing
in the millinery school. However, they
prepared to fight the action and alleged
in their answer that she had hardly
more than paid her first tuition fee,
and that she had at no time shown any
serious dispersion to profit by the advan.
tages of the dressmaking school.
When an attempt was made to serve
the answer on Miss Krohn she could
not be found, nor did she appear in
court, and the suspicious of the defend
ants were aroused to such all extent
that detective was employed to find
her. Her arrest in South Dakota was
the first definite indication as to her
real occupation, and the probable pur-
pose of her suit An investigation at
Webster, and her own declaration that
she could not make the case stick,
has since strengthened the suspicion
that Miss Krohn was employed by a
business rival of the Dobbs brothers to
bring a legal action in order to embar-
rass them by making charges with no
intention of proving them in court.
Miss Krohn is under bail, held for
trial, at Webster, on charges involving
an attempt to spirit away the com.
planning witness in criminal action
brought by young woman against
well known man there. Minneapolis

This morning about IL o'clock when
Mrs George Hammerbacher went to

little too much gasoline into the gener-

stsly set fire to ner clothes and she ran

6RUTALY MURDERED.
Indian Squaw is Killed
Near Blue Dog.
HUSBAND AND BROTHER HELD
hannah Mazahowaste is Beaten
ana Kicked to Death at John
Bear's Claim Last Week,

Last week there was a rumor came
10 Webster that there had been a mur.
der committed at Enemy Swim, but
parties coming in from there knew
nothing of it. and people had begun to
think 1t hoax, but Saturday authentic
reports were received of the murder of
Hannah Mazahowaste at John Bears
claim, north of Blue Dog lake, in Day
county about three miles from the Rob.
erts' county line.
The story of the crime, as near as we
can learn it, is almost toe revolving too
publish. l. seems that Mazahowaste.
a Roberts county Indian, mad to 20 up
Aberdeenfor some reason, so he took
his wife, Hannah Mazshowaste, and one
child over to her brothers, John Bear,
and left them while he made the trip.
| Mazahowaste returned last Wednes-
day night and went out TO the Bear
home A little later four other Indians
arrived at the Bear home loaded with
whiskey both in themselves and their
wagons. These four made base pro-
posals to the squaw and she refused to
submit The whole bunch then COM
menced drinking whisky and soon they
were all beastly drunk, and then began
a reverie such as only fends could
indulge III, the squaw submitting to
everything. This worse than beastial
carousal lasted until morning when the
sqnaw was compelled TO quit from sheer
exhaustion.
Mazahowaste and John Bear desiring
the terrible crime to continue tried tC
coax the squaw to Join them, when she
eouh not or wonld not they began tC
kick her and beat her, and finally JOIN
Bear struck hes terrible blow with 6
club across the back which felled her &c
the ground and Mazahowaste kicked
her into insensibihty. The others theI
got frightened and left. Along that day
some time Mazahowaste and John Deal
loaded the squaw into a wagon-and II
ia said that Bear kicked her after they
had go. her in the wagon, though she
was inoensible--a took her to the
Mazahowaste home at Dry Wood lake,
Roberts county. Here she became con-
scious and told the story to her daugh,
ter. She died Sunday.
The Roberts county authorities heard
of the case and the coroner went out,
held an inquest and found that Hannah
Mazahowaste came to her death from
blows and kicks inflicted by Mazahow,
.aste and John Bear.
Sheriff John Minder arrested the
murderers, and, as the hellish crime was
committed in this county, brought them
to Webster Monday night and turned
them over to the Day county authori-
ties for prosecution and they are now in
the county Jail.
This is another one of the fruits OF
the decision of the United States
supreme court that whiskey can be sold
to Indians.
