THE FARGO NEWS SEEKS TO
INJURE CONGRESSMAN HANNA
False and Misleading Statements Published by Hybrid Sheet
Regarding the Opening Of the BerthOId Reservation
Landslide True Situation

Ryder News: The Fargo Daily
News in its issue of April ia copy
Of which first came to our notice yes
terday--contains an article on the pro-
posed opening of the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation. sent from Under
wood. Evidently the correspondent is
ignorant of the facts. or is deliberately
attempting to place Congressman
Hanna in bad light. The article is
full Of misleading statements, and the
author OF the concoction certainly did
not know anything about the case, as
his alleged statement of facts Is not
substantiated by those who attended
the conference here. Yesterday we
interviewed Atty. B. A. Dickinson on
the subject, and he made the follow
ing statement:
"On different occasions my atten-
ton has been called to articles in the
newspapers purporting to give details
Of the bill now In congress providing
for the opening Of the Fort Berthold
Indian reservation and outlining the
meeting of the representatives of the
Indian department and the Indians at
Elbowwoods last fall. One article Of
this nature which I should like to take
exception to is found in The Fargo
News under the date OF April IL. The
article is dated at Underwood and was
evidently written by someone who was
not present at the conference last
fall and who has certainly not read
the bill that is now before the house
Of representatives, introduced by Con-
gresham Hanna.
'The writer, in the article referred
to, intimates that Congressman Hanna
opened the conference and after he
had talked few minutes, the meeting
was broken up by the Indians leaving.
Later, the article goes on to say, the
commissioner from Washington
rounded them up and proceeded to
negotiate treaty.
Il was present at this conference,
and know whereof I speak. Commits
sioner Abbott presided at the confer
ence throughout. and at no time was
there lack of enthusiasm displayed by
the Indians. There were a number OF
whites who spoke at the conference
before Congressman Hanna was called
upon to- speak, myself included. Mr..
Hanna spoke earnestly and fuently
upon his bill for an hour and half,
and during the whole time the interest
Of the Indians was so manifest that
You could have heard a pin drop at
any time, except when some remark Of
the speaker would call forth a chorus
Of 'hows,' which we interpret in our
language as good
after Mr.. Hanna's sneecb rhe
meeting adjourned. with the consent
Of all, for the noon hour, to a. definite
time. At which time ii was resumed
and the Indians given a chance 10
express their views in the matter.
The conference was orderly through
out and resulted in Commissioner Alb
bott and Mr.. Hanna getting an idea
OF what the Indians wished in the mat
ter, which was the object of the con-
ference. From the ideas gained here
Mr.. Hanna has proceeded to draw the
bill that is now before congress for
