WIFE TO CARE FOR

Giovannini Casatta left the two little

their father in Alton, to be brought up
by Elm and his wife as their lawful

again try to see them.
The two children are with their IA.
ther. Francisco Digandi, and his wife
az their home in East End place, AL,
ION. with the two children of the couple.
The Digandis were recently reunited
a1ter a five years separation. In that
interval Giovannini Casatta had taken
the wife's place, and the two children
nad been born. The wife, estranged
from Digandi two years after their ar
rival from Italy, had lived in st. Louis
with her children.
A few days ago Mrs. Digandi, who
mad for some time known of her hus-
bands prosperity in Alton, went to Al
ton with her children. She sought her
husband and told him of her willingness
70 forget the past. He told her frankly
that only Giovannini Casatta stood in
the way-Giovannin and the two chill
lren. IHW..
He placed the matter before Giovan-
nm. ~ WAS nOt the HrBI Time Sne ndQ
occasion to reflect seriously on her fu-
ture status. She was ready with her
answer. She would go away and take
care of herself and let the wife return
to the home she had made. But the
children must be provided for. .
The wife hesitated at the task of car
Ing for children so peculiarly alien to
her, but 1t was them or leave Francisco
atone, except as the law might reach
him-and her ideas of the laws power
lacked exactness So she decided to
'socept the compromise.
Justice James Thornton drew up the
papers. They provided that the two
children of Francisco and Giovan1inf
should have all the privileges Of the
Dtgandi home, and that their mother
should not seek to see them or molest
their father and foster mother again.
In the lawyers Office Francisco bade
farewell to the woman who had stood
as wife to him. He was inclined to
be sullen In his manner: the woman
showed semblance of gayety. The
children, with goodbye kiss from
their mother, were marshaled by their
future mother, and the family party
went back home. to resume the mar
ried life begun just before the big
steamboat brought the Digandis to

sANTEE INDIANS WIN
OLD $77s,e71 CLAIM

Yankton, s. D.. April 30.-The United
States court of claims at Washington
has just decided a matter of great i'm
portance to the Santee Sioux Indians,
whose agency is located on the Mis-
souri, river in Nebraska opposite the
county Of Bon Homme.
The claim is an old one and Is con-
nected with the Little Crow Indian war,
which began with an outbreak of the
Santees under that chief at Lake
Sheteck, Mimi, in 1862. At that time
the Santees were drawing an annual
stipend from the government of about
$4,000 under a treaty made eleven
years before, but because of the hos
tilities of the tribe at the time men
toned and for two or three years fol-
lowing, their treaty rights were de-
clared forfeited and no more payments
were made them. In 1868, those of the
Santees not engaged in the war, were
removed to Dakota territory and settled
on a reservation at Crow Creek.
Five or six years later they were
again removed to near the old town Of
Niobrara, temporarily, and about 1871
were permanently located on a reserva-
tion surrounding their present agency.
1t appears there were two classes of
Santees-those who became hostile, and
those who remained friendly, and the
question arose whether it was just on
the part Of the government to forfeit
the annuities of the friendly Indians
who is large part were old, infirm and
women and children.
The contention that 1t would be who'll
ly unjust to thus punish the innocent
ones finally won, and few years later
the court of claims was established for
considering the thousands of claims
growing out of the great civil war
which was contemporaneous with the
Indian war. Congress was also ap-
pealed to with good results, and now,
45 years after these annuities were de-
clared forfeited, restoration is to be
made to those entitled thereto or to
their descendants. The claim was made
for nearly $2,000,000 that was due on
the arrears of payment. but the court
of claims found that $E8,971 would pay
the debt, and has rendered Judgment
for this amount. The Santees are now
a civilized people, living near their
old agency and also at Flandreau, and
as a rule are prosperous and indus
trious.
