"POOR LO" SUES AGENT DOWNS
A Case of Strenuous Enforce.
ment of Orders

VIM. Bcnoist who is we'll known
to the residents of the Missouri
slope. is having tilt with the In
dian Agent. and instead of getting
his warriors to 90 ON the Old-.me
warpath, has employed an attorney
and taken the matter before Judge
Boucher Benoist was allotted
land on the milwaukee, cattle trail
and has been allowing his cattle,
700 head. to run at large on the
trail. to the great inconvenience
and worry of ranchmcn who drive
their cattle across the trail for
shipment at Evarts.
The ranchmen at last made
complaint to Major Downs.
who issued orders to Benoist
to in future keep his cattle
off the trail But the latter went
upon the theory that as he had an
allotment within the trail he had
rights upon it. and therefore he
refused to pay any attention to The
order of the Indian Agent.
The order to keep his cattle off
the trail was repeated, and to
show he was in earnest the Indian
Agent gave Bcnoist to under
stand that if the order was not
complied with. he thc Indian
agent) would have the cattle
seized, shipped and sold. and
would retain the costs of the sale
and one dollar per head additional
as penalty for his order being
di>regarlcd
At this stage OF the game Rcnoist
decided to employ attorneys.
who under his instructions have
instituted an action i'm the circuit
court to restrain the Indian agent
from interfering with his
stock. An application has been
made for a temporary inj JUNCTION
against the Indian agent. pending
the trial.
AS the cattle trail is situated
within the Cheyenne reservation
an effort may he made to have the
case transferred to the United
States court on the ground that
the state circuit court is without
jurisdiction. On the other hand.
the cattle trail is situated i'm an
unorganizcd county which by state
law has been attached to the uris-
diction of Walworth county.
In view of this the attorneys for
the Indian plaintiff will contend
that the state circuit court has
jurisdiction in the case.
Judge Boucher was to give
the parties hearing last Friday
or Saturday. The Agent had not
yet been informed of his verdict
today as we 90 to press. [. :.

Indian Superstition.

In Sarawak persons of the Milanau
tribe have a practice of depositing a
large leaf, peculiarly folded, at the
spot where the accident has happened,
to conciliate the powers of evil. A
mar hurt himself in the rajah's gar
den, and some Milanaus employed
there FASTENED to perform the cere-
mony of Precipitation. The present
raiah. Sir Charles Brooks, tells what
followed in his Ten Years in Sara
walk" He disliked to see this litter
on the path and told the gardeners to
remove it. But the Milanaus said that
the arm of anyone touching the leaf
would swell. So the rajah threw it
away himself-and two days after
ward he had a painful swelling in his
arm, which lasted a fortnight.
