relations as man and wife, which
under the Indian custom was divorce
from the bonds of matrimony, and
have ever since lived apart.
At the time of Bonga's marriage
to and divorce from Ay-zhe-quaince,
they were both wards of the govern.
ment and sustaining tribal relations
in the LeeCh Lake band of Pillager
Chippewa Indians. The custom
prevailing among the Indians, and
their law at that time, made mar
riage between man end wife to
consist of their living and cohabit-
ing together as man and wife with
out any further ceremony, and these
marriage relations would be dis
solved at the pleasure of either
party, by separation from the
other with intent to terminate said
marriage relation as man and wife,
and such separation constituted a
divorce from the bonds of marriage.
The decree states that after Bonga
separated and was divorced accord
ing to the Indian cnstom from Ay-
zhe-quaince, and about July 1st, 1882,
he was married to the woman from
whom he is now divorced, the marri-
age being in accordance with the
laws and customs of the Indians.
Two children were born to Bonga
and his last wife, they being David
Bonga, aged 7 years, and Robert
Bonga, 2 years. Under the decree
and absolute divorce given Peter
Bonga, he is awarded the custody
of his son David Bonga and the
wife is given Robert Bonga until
such time as the latter is of sufficient
age to attend the Indian school at
Onigum, Leech Lake.

In this connection, those intend

MOST UNIQUE DIVORCE In
HISTORY OF MINNESOTA
Judge Spooner Grants Decree Peter BoDga DvorcnQ
Him from His Wife, Elizabeth Bonga. ..-.Both Parties
to Decree Are Indians.

Marshall A. Spooner, Judge of the
Fifteenth judicial district, ha:
granted an absolute divorce to Peter
Bonga from his wife, Elizabeth
Bonga, otherwise known as Nah
koonce.
The decree of divorce is an unique
one, in that both parties to the
decree are full-blooded Chippewa
Indians; and it is believed that the
proceedings for divorce and the
granting of the prayer is the first
action of the kind ever recorded
among the Indian tribes of Mime
sofa.
According to the decree, the
plaintiff instituted proceedings for
divorce from the defendant at
Walker, last April. Both are mem
bers of the Chippewa band of Leech
Lake Indians.
Peter Bonga is 90 years of age,
while his wife is 40.
The plaintiff and defendant were
married on the Leech Lake Chip
pewa Reservation, in Minnesota, on
or about the 1st of July, A..D., 1882,
and thereafter lived together as hus-
dand and wife until defendant
deserted plaintiff on or about the
18th day of September, A. D. 1905.
The marriage between plaintiff
and defendant was in accordance
with the customs and usages of the
Chippewa tribe of Indians.
According to the evidence in the
case, Bonga was previously married
to one Ay-zhe-quaince, under the
customs and usages of the Chippewa
tribe of Indians. The couple Separ-
ated in July, 1881, dissolving their

PERSISTENT DEMAND FOR
DAHL MURDERS REWARD
Chief of Police at Green Bay Evidently
Looking for Some EASY
Money"

Yesterdays St. Paul Pioneer Press
contained the following concerning
the attempts made by William E.
Finnegan, chief of Green Bay, Wis,
to secure a reward for the arrest of
Shorty" Wesley:
William E. Finnegan, captain OF
the police force of Green Bay, Wis,
appeared before Gov. Johnson with
his attorney, Timothy Burke, to
urge his claim against the state for
award of $500 offered for the arrest
and conviction of the murderers OF
the Dahls, father and daughter, near
Bemidji about three years ago.
Mr.. Dahl and his daughter were
living on a homestead near Bemidji
and the neighbors found them mur.
dered near their cabin. James Wes-
ley was arrested by Finnegan in
Green Bay in 1905 and turned over
to the sheriff of Beltrami county.
After hearing before a justice
of the peace he was released but
about year later he was re-arrested
on evidence furnished Iby an inmate
of the state prison. He haa since
been convicted.
A short time after the discovery
of the double murder S. R. Van
SAINT, then governor of the state,
issued a proclamation offering a re.
ward for the arrest or for informa.
ton leading to the arrest and con.
viction of the murderer. No claim
for the reward was made until few
