TO KNOCK OUT THE
WHISKY CLAUSE
Business Men OF Wagner &c
Appeal to Government to
Change the Order.
IT WORKS A HARDSHIP
Indians on Allotted Lands Are Forbid

Clause Be inserted in
the Deed.

Wagner. &. D., Feb. The business
men OF Wagner have decided 10 send
n man TO Washington, ID. G.. To try To
have removed from the Indian deeds
what IL known as the whisky clauses.
The man has not yet been selected. but
the funds have all been raised.
A few months ago the commissioner
OF Indian affairs made "A ruling that

Indian. This clause I'm the deed.
while IL lessons the sale and price OF

temperance cause among the Indians.
In the treaty with lankton Sioux

on this reservation. This Is the law
whether In the deed or not. Putting IL

binding. IL only opens up field for
fraud with the Indian. II any one gets
mad or has any spite against the pur-'

This temptation In more than some
white men could stand.
In the interest OF the Indian and the
purchaser. Wagner has decided to send
some one To Washington To try To have
his clause taken from the deeds.
