MILL INVESTIGATE
Indian Land Claims TO Come Under
Light

The Mt. Pleasant Enterprise OF last
week said:
"The early days in Isabella and ad-
joining counties at the time the In
dians were receiving their allotments
of land from the government under
the 1885 treaty, were golden opportu-
mites for frauds, and as near as can
be now learned the whites made the
most of their chance. The govern
ment agents were careless, and posi-
bly, participated in the frauds that
were perpetrated. Indians procured
these allotments of land under diff
fcrent names, getting more than they
were entitled TO, and for mess of pot
tage sold the claims to whites who
wanted the timber of the land.
The lands given here were suppos-
ed to belong exclusively to the Chip
pewa tribe, and particularly to the
Saginaw, Swan Creek and Black Ri
yer bands But Ottawas and others
came from the west side of the state
came and presented their claims as
Chippewas and received land. Many
got more than one allotment by ma
king application under different
names Others never received any
land
Solomon Collins of Rosebush
bright young Indian who has been
at the Carlisle college for five years
and whose father was one OF the head
men of the Swan Greek and Black
River bands, has taken up the matter
with the department of the interior
and has been requested by the In
dian commissioner to collect proof OF
these frauds and forward them to the
! department. A letter from the In
dian commissioner states that }
proof OF the alleged frauds can be
established, the department will can
eel all lands claims thus affected, ant
will allot the land 10 other Indian,
who are entitled to it and who neyci
received any land.
If it Is true that lands were OBJ
tanned by whites through fraudulen
Indian claims and the interior depart
ment goes to the bottom and cancel
such fraudulent allotments, there vii
be shaking up OF farm titles in thi.
county never dreamed Of.
