INDIAN TREATY NOT IN FORCE
Judge Amidon Holds Convention oi
1851 Was Abrogated by Act of
Congress in 1868.

Judge C. F. Amidon, in United States
court at Fergus Falls, handed down a
decision discharging P. J. Sullivan, the
alleged Browns Valley blind pig pro-
prietor, from custody and declaring
the Indian treaty of 1851 abrogated
and annulled.
Sullivan was charged with introduc-
ing 900 pints of liquor into Browns
Valley contrary to the provisions of
this treaty. He was sentenced to Jail,
but later discovered the act of con-
gress passed in 1868 annulling the land
rights and cutting off the annuities of
the Sioux in retaliation for the mas
sacre Of 1862.
After an extended review of the case
Judge Amidon sums up as follows: In
the present case it is conceded that the
Indian reservation, which was intend
treaty, ceased to be an Indian reser-
vation by the act of Feb. 16, 1868, and
since that time none of the Indians
have dWelt upon that reservation or
claimed title thereto. The whole basis,
therefore, of federal authority over
commerce in Intoxicating liquors in
this territory is wanting. There are
no Indians there with whom commerce
can be carried on; therefore the ma
tiOnal government has no power to
regulate commerce in the territory
covered by the treaty when congress
annulled all rights of the Indians in
these lands. 1t, by a necessary impli-
cation, abrogated section 5 of the
treaty, whose only object was the pro-
lection of the Indians. Under this de-
cision the federal officers have no FUR
ther power to interfere with the liquor
traffic in the wide extent of territory
covered by the Sioux treaties"
The territory affected by the de-
cision includes the city of Moorhead
and almost the entire southern part of
the state lying west of the Mississippi,
including part of Minneapolis.

Seat From Minnesota.

Governor Eberhart emphatically as
serts that he is not a candidate for the
United States senate to succeed Moses

circumstances will be be a candidate
at this time. How the report originat-

other man in Washington. He admits
that senatorial ambitions for the fu-
ture are in his mind, but at present
being governor is enough.
Frederick c. Stevens says he is not

think there is any excuse for an attack
on Senator Clapp.

RAILROAD MEN ARE KILLED
Two Meet Death in Accidents at ST.
Paul.


Two fatal accidents occurred in rail
road yards at ST. Paul. The first
became public shortly after the dis
covery of the body of S. H. Stroup,
tower man at Oakland station, on the
Burlington road, lying in a ditch about
800 feet west of the Pigs Eye bridge
near the fish hatcheries. Stroup had
been missing since Saturday night
His body, terribly mangled, was al
most entirely covered with snow, ex-
planning the vain search which was
made for him by the police and rail
road officials.
The second accident occurred at al
most the same instant that the body
of StrOup was found.
John Anderson, a section hand on
the Omaha road, fell in front of a rap
idly moving passenger train in the
Hazel Park yards while trying to
clean out the snow and ice from a
switch. He saw the train coming, but
stayed on the track too long, slipping
on the ice as he started to leap from
the track.

CHIEF CORRISTON RESIGNS
Head of Minneapolis Police Depart

over quarter of a century, will sue
ceed.
The resignation was not entirely un-
expected 1t was handed to Mayor
James c. Haynes and Immediately ac-
cepted to take effect Jan. l. 1t is
traced directly to the recent criticism
heaped upon the department for its
laxity and then for its action in going

once the patient burst out laughing.
What is it that tickles your fancy p

"a story has just come into my

The residents of the Danish West
Indies have presented a petition to
the Danish cabinet at Copenhagen ask
ing that negotiations be opened for
the sale of the islands to the United
States. It is reported from the Dan
ish capital that the governmental min
listers are not disposed to be hostile
to the suggestion, but it is not expect
ed that they will take the initiative,
as they would be almost certain to
meet strong opposition in the riksdag.
A similar proposition was brought up
six years ago and was killed in the
riksdag.
Whether or not the islands would
be of much value to the United States
it is quite apparent that the United
States would be of more value to the
islanders than would any other ma
ton There are three of them, St.
Thomas, ST. Croix and st. John, and
they are about forty miles east of
Porto Rico. They have an area of
13S square miles and population of
a little more than 10000.
The islands are not prOspering as
the natives think they should. They
are a long way from anywhere, ex'
cepting Porto Rico, and are too small
to expect much attention from distant
commercial centers. The natives, see
ing the wonderful change that has
taken place in. Porto Rico under Amer
lean rule, wish to share in the pros
perity of their next door neighbors,
hence the petition that the islands be
sold to the United States.

STANDARD CUTS OIL PRICES
Far East in Campaign to In.
crease Use of Kerosene.

New York;. |. c. Clarke. through
whom the Standard Oil company
makes its official announcements to
the public, has issued a statement to
the effect that the company has en-.
tered on a thoroughly mapped out
campaign to increase the consumption
of kerosene In European countries and
the lands of the Orient The first
move In this campaign is the reduc
tries. Mr.. Clarke's announcement says
In part:
The Standard Oil company has In
augurated campaign to increase the
worlds consumption OF refined oil
The level of prices for refined oil to
day in the United States is lower than
at any time during recent years. and
as a direct result OF these prices the
consumption of refined oil in this
country is increasing. The same pol
ICY is now being actively pursued
abroad"
AS indicated by this statement. the
Standard company began trying out
the policy of lower prices in the
United States, though without an
nouncing that 1t had in view a cam
paign that would cover the world. In
August the price of refined oil IL
tanks was reduced from 61a to 6h
cents a gallon, and the price OF re
fined oil In barrels at the refinery was
cut 1 cent. from 9A to So cents q
gallon.

Trinidad, Col.-Fifty miners,
nearly all Americans, are walled up in
the Colorado Fuel E. Iron company's
coal mine at Starkville, seven miles
south of here. by an explosion caused
by accumulation of gas.
Immediately upon receipt of the re
port a special train was made up here
carrying doctors, nurses, volunteer
rescue parties. and newspaper men.
Ample galleries in the mine are re-
lied upon to afford the men fresh air
and possible means of escape. The
workings are enormous and are re-
ported to connect with the Engleville
mine, and possibly others. Unless
these connections are blocked through
disuse or choked by debris from the
explosion 1t is thought the men have
an excellent chance for life.
The mine is widely known because
of the small percentage of foreigners
employed in it and is used to supply

WAGES WAR ON CHURCH
President of Portugal Orders All Re-
Iigous Orders to Leave Country
Within a Day.

Lisbon.-The proclamation of the
republic of Portugal is received
by the people generally in a matter of
fact way. While order has been in a
measure restored fear still prevails
that the attacks against the religious
establishments may become general.
The most marked feature of the stu
alton now Is resentment shown by a
large part of the population against
the clergy.
Provisional President Braga and his
associates are drawing tighter the
reins of government and have begun
actively to put into practise the prin-
ciples for which they have stood and
which they have promised shall be the
bulwarks of the new republic.
The first step was the publication
of an official decree ordering all re-
ligious bodies in Portugal to leave the
country within twenty-four hours. The
churches remain closed.
The government had promised the
separation of church and state and the
suppression of the religious orders.
