Fargo Forum: Congressman L. b.
Hanna has returned to the city from
h big Indian council and pow-wow
held at Elbowoods On the Fort Berth
old reservation. which he attended
with Assistant Indian Commissioner E.
n: Abbott OF the Indian office at
Washington. :, :
ut was really one of the most .edu-
cational affairs I ever had the OPP
portunity Of attending in my life, and
was exceedingly enjoyable as WELL"
Congressman Hanna told q Forum
representative. MY only regret is
that there was not o motion picture
machine there to get it all and especi-
ally the Indians doing their various

Mr.. Hanna was exceedingly enthu-
siastic about the council and stated
that Mr.. Abbott had pronounced 1t
the best he had yer attended since
he had been a government official or
connected with the Indian office.
Mr.. Abbott told me-" continued the
congressman, that he had been on
every Indian reservation in the United
States and he declared hat this vas
the best exhibition of Indian work and
organization. as we'll as the most

When Mr.. Abbott and I alighted
from the train at Garrison we were
met by a committee of braves in an
automobile and they started out with
US for the Indian reservation. When
we were nearly within sight OF the tee
PEGS of the reservation station, a dele
cation Of Fort Berthold Indians met
US with all their war paint on and
we were escorted in style to the vii
lage:.
There were two long lines of tee
PEGS where the Indians we're camp
ed during the council and the big
tent where the sessions were held was
raised In the middle of the open space
between the two rows OF teepees. In
the center of the big tent we were
given places Of honor on a specially
raised platform and were surrounded

They are an expressive people and
we would look down at them to see
how the different arguments that were
expounded to them struck their fan

them. they would grunt and whenever
they weren't pleased, they would keep
silent.

tons.
Probate court proceedings Thursday

tons by State Senator L. A. Simpson,
Of North Dakota. representing the
Dickinson claimant, all of which were
overruled by the court. The effort to
have the appeal from the probate
court tried before the court will be the
next step in the famous case.

himself Daniel Blake Russell. son of
the testator, although last spring a
resident of Fresno. Cal, was recog-

The Russell estate was worth about
100000 before the expensive litiga-
ton was begun and was left to two
sons. William G. and Daniel Blake.
Daniel Blake left home many years
ago. and was not heard of for a long
time. The defense maintains that the
