The committee therefore OBJ
tanned a copy of the act referred
to, and found that it's provisions
had not been accurately stated
by the commissioner; that it
reads to the effect that any IN
diVidual member Of the tribe
t""Y have his apportionment
set aside to his individual ac-
count not that a complete APP
portlonment shall be made.
This leaves the situation as fol-
lows: until all the money shall
be apportioned by individual re
quest, it is still q tribal fund,
The committee has gone over
the whole situation with an as
tuteness that would have done
credit to many of their white
brethren of the legal persuasion,
and has taken up the matter
with Senator Gamble, again ask
ing that the payment be made
this spring.
Another and larger claim is
also pending, and was discussed
by the committee. A million
and a half of dollars, otherwise
due to the Sisseton and Wahpe-
ton tribes, was withheld on ac-
count of the New Ulm outbreak,

Indian Committee Get Busy.

The Indian committee of twen-
ty members, to whom is entrust-
ed the affairs of the Sisseton
Sioux Indians, with their inter
prefer, Mr.. Robertson, held a
council at Peever on Tuesday to
discuss the rights and claims of
the tribe, now pending, as we'll

ing such claims to the United
States government. This COM
mittee of twenty was elected by
the tribe two years ago, ten be-
ing elected for one year and ten
for two years. Last year the
first ten We're reelected without
exception, In the hands of
these twenty men are placed the
interests Of the tribe, and in all
dealings with the white father
at the head of their department
OF the goVsrnment, they are its
authorized representatives. In
this and in the business-like
manner in which their councils
are conducted and plans of action
made, we see the rapid strides
the red man is making towards a
more advanced civilization.
A tribal fund of 1856, 900 being
held IN reserve for payment, the
committee requested last year
that the odd $S6, 900 should be
paid. The department decided
TO make a payment instead, of
$500, 600. This payment was
made last November. Later,
during the past winter, the COM
mittee renewed the request for
the payment Of the $50, 900, mon
ey being needed for the purchase
of seed and other necessary ex-
penditures for the spring. The
commissioner agreed to this, but
afterward the payment was held
back, the commissioner notify
ing the committee that it WAS
withheld on account of an act Of
congress which had been passed
after the request for payment
had been made, which act would
apportion the tribal fund to the
individual members of the tribe.
