LIQUOR CLAUSE in The INDIAN TREATY
OF 81 NULL DECLARES AMIDON

Continued From Page One.
that year treaty was entered into
between the Indians and the United
States by which all this territory was
ceded to the federal government.
BY an article of the treaty a reser-
walton was set off to the Indians out
or the lands thus coded, consisting of
strip or territory ten miles on each
side or the Minnesota river, and ex-
tending southeastward from Traverse
county about 100 miles. For the pur-
pose of protecting the Indians upon
this reservation against the evils Of
intoxicating liquor, the treaty provided
that all laws OF the federal govern
ment on the subject Of selling Iiuuor
to Indians, or introducing LIQUOR into
the Indian country, should apply to
the ceded land the same as to the
reservation.
In 1852 the Indians dwelling on this
reservation, and other members of the
same tribe dwelling I'm the territory
of Dakota, attacked the white settlers
in tn southern part Of Minnesota. The
war is known as the Sioux war. and
its most bloody incident was the mas
sacre Of New UIm.
In due time federal troops overcame
the Indians, and a large number of
them were taken prisoners. Out Of
these more than 300 were tried and
sentenced to be hanged. Pres. Lincoln
interfered with sentence, and reduced
the number to thirty eight of the ring
leaders, who we're hanged at Manka-
to, Dec. 20, 1852. The remainder Of
the prisoners taken were settled upon
remote reservations. The Sioux In
dams dwelling upon the reservations
and in the eastern part of the ter
ritory of Dakota were pursued through
the years 1853 and 1864, and driven
into the Bad Lands beyond the Mis-
souri, river, and into the Black Hills.
On Feb. 10, 1853. congress in retaIia-
ton for the Indian outrages, passed
an act annulling the treaty of 1851,
insofar as 1t imposed any obligations
upon the government, and FORGETTING
all the rights of the Indians to any
lands in the state Of Minnesota, and
to the annuities to which they were
entitled under the treaty. The pro-

THREE FOUND GUILTY
Three Young Men Arrested Last Night
On Charge of Drunkenness Plead
ed Not Guilty This Morning.

In police court this morning three
young men were brought before Judge
Miller on the charge of drunkenness
and disorderly conduct. Robert Reed
the first called, pleaded not guilty to
the charge. He stated he had been
drinking but was not drunk nor dis
{. derby. Corroborative evidence was
furnished which indicated that he
was, and he was duly fined and sent
enced. -#
The other two young men, who were
nabbed with Reed, were Lloyd Burley
and Mike Murphy They admitted they
had been quarreling, but were not
drunk. Both were fined along with
their companion.

made to find place for him in the

JURY OUT FOR
over "a HOURS
JURY IN LATHRoP DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST FARGO MooRHEAp
STREET RAILWAY co. OUT
OVER "a HoURs-No VERDICT
YET RETURNED.

What promises to be one Of the
longest deliberations in a civil case
heard in the district court in Fargo
for a long time is the one which sat
in the Lathrop damage suit against The
Fargo Moorhead Street Railway Co.
At o'clock this afternoon the jury
was still out, after considering the case
almost twenty seven hours.
The jury retired yesterday morning
about IL o'clock. No word was heard
until late this morning, when a COM
munication is reported to have been
sent Judge Pollock asking to be re-
lieved. 1t is understood that the
bailiff received instructions from the
court that the jury be asked to con-
tinue little longer.
Many who are interested in the case
predict that the jury will disagree or
verdict returned in favor OF the
defendant. f. c. Lathrop, PLAINTIFF in
the case, was present at the morning
session Of court, waiting for the return
Of the verdict, which was expected
every moment. His attorney. M. A. Hill
dreth, was also present.

visions Of the statute leave no doubt
that IL was the intent of congress to
forever expel the Sioux Indians from
the state of Minnesota.
The right of the government to
regulate the sale OF Intoxicating liquor
rests solely upon its power to regu-
late commerce with the Indian tribes.
When there are no Indians to be pro-
tected, the power of the federal gov
eminent over the subject ceases. It
has been repeatedly held that so long
as a reservation is maintained in ced-
ed territory the federal government,
for the purpose of protecting the In
dams dwelling upon the reservation
may exclude the introduction Of In
toxicating liquor from all the land
coded. It's right to do this. however,
has been uniformly rested by the SUI
preme court upon that provision of
the constitution granting power to
congress to regulate commerce with
the Indian tribes. These decisions
leave no doubt that when the reser-
walton in the ceded territory is
abolished, the power of the national
government to regulate the sale Of
Intoxicating liquors I'm the region
ceases.
Judge Amidon's Decision.
Judge Amidon held in the case at
Fergus Falls that the act of 1863,
abolishing the Indian reservation and
expelling the Indians from the state Of
Minnesota, by a necessary implication
annulled that provision of the treaty
which made the federal laws relative
to the sale Of intoxicating liquors to
the Indians, and the introduction of
such liquors into the Indian territory
applicable to the southern part Of the
state. He, Therefore, directed the
Judgment to be set aside and the de-
PENDANT TO be released
This decision has no effect upon the
northern part Of the state. In that
region there still remain extensive IN
dian reservations occupied by the IN
dams. The right Of the federal gov
eminent, therefore, to exclude irtoxi-
eating liquors from that territory, re-
mains unaffected by the decision.

A MONEY CHUNIP.

It is too bad, Of course, that the
blacksmith at Dodge City had to lose
all his hard earned money, $27OO in
all, at the hands of burglars. But
he has nothing to blame except his
own un-American ideas Of how to
save money.
To begin with, he trusted himself
to a greater extent than he trusted
the banks. Men who do this, some
times get away with it, but when they
do. as a rule, they are downright
misers who know no enjoyment and
live in squalor in order to avert sus-
picion that they are wealthy. They
shut themselves up from society and
pretend poverty because they don't
want anyone to know they have a
red cent.
The Dodge City man buried his
money in a steel box after locking
it. No banks for him. NO SIT!
After counting 1t over the other night
a usual he put it away in the base
ment of his house. The next morning
he awoke penniless. Burglars had
drilled into the box, opened 1t and
made away with every gold coin II
contained.
The blacksmith will probably be-
lieve in banks now that he has so
money. He is fortunate is not being
awake at the time of the burglary.
He would have resisted and had his
head broken open, as is usually the
case where misers carry their roll
with them, sewed up in their shirt

IS 1T GOOD BUSINESS?

The Topeka Capital notes that Gov
ernor Stubs when he prepared his
address on the Kansas liquor situa-
ton for his Chicago trip telegraphed
some 80 mayors regarding the condi-
tions in their towns and had them
reply by wire. The responses were
from 100 to 500 words each and
the whole cost a big bunch of money.
The Capital says 1t shows business
methods" We do not know who
paid for all the kilograms. If the
state paid for 1t there was a wanton
waste of the taxpayers money-for
all the information could have been
secured by mail at a cost OF few
cents instead of probably more than
a hundred dollars. There were
weeks in which to secure 1t and the
state should not have to raise taxes
for wasted expense. If the governor
paid it personally 1t was none the
less waste and the money could do
more good in other directions. Vast
ing money is never good business for
state or individual.
