INDIAN VILLAGE BURNS.

According to the Brainerd Dispatch,
fire recently destroyed the Little
Chippewa settlement at Wigwam Bay.
situated on the West shores of Mile
Laos, between Garrison and Viueland.
Tie village which has been here for
almost half a century, contained a
substantial frame bouse, five wigwams
and several log cabins. With tho
dwellings of the Indians went all their
household goods their family relics
treasured from one generation to
another, their fishing nets, guns and
all their food supplies.
The Indians have lived there all
their lives and claim they have never
molested anybody nor stolen anything.
On the east side of the lake it is said
an old chief of the Chippewas was
strapped to tree and bis wigwam and
all belongings burned to the ground in
front Of his very eyes. While the
teare coursed down his cheeks and as he
begged for pity tho ire ate up his
home and chattels.
These Indians may be considered
trespassers by some and some Of them
should probably be at the White Earth
reservation where the government has
ordered them, but it seems hard pro-
blem to settle satisfactorily. The
Indians are now said to be roaming
the country, perfectly destitute and
trying to exc out most precarious ex-
lstence by hunting and fishing. Some
are intent upon making appeals to
Washington for assistance, or relief
from their troubles.

BOY MURDERED IN BRAINERD.


Brainerd June 13.-Erick Maxi,
accused of the murder of little Earl
Bakkila, appears to be utterly in
different regarding the crime he is
charged with.
He is confined in cell in the county
Jail and is smoking the hours away.
Stolid and communicative, he stares
through the bars
Police records show that be was
arrested several months ago on q
charge of larcency and spent a short
time in cell. The charge was
dropped later and he was released.
His demeanor at that time was as in
different as it is now when the cloud
of murder hangs over him..
He was arraigned before the mum.
cipal court Saturday morning and was
represented by his attorney, q. S.
Swanson, who asked a continuance to
Saturday morning 10 O'Clock, which
was granted.
Feeling runs high against the per.
petrator of the awful outrage and
people who saw the crushed and torn
body of Earl BakkiIa at the morgue
and heard his mothers and grand
fathers cries of anguish at the inquest
are inceEsed at the crime committed.
The way the little boy must have
been choked and maltreated to death
is so cold blooded as to be fiendish in
its preparation and stamps the author
of this crime as an unfeeling human
monster. It is the most brutal murder
ever committed in the history of
Brainerd.

my Irish Dearie"

The Irish Colleen" sonf has beea
popular since the days of Thomas Moore,
for the Land of the Shamrock has always
been a country where the love Of = beau
tiful girl attained its highest value. The
men who have propably written more
popular Irish songs than any other writers
during the past twelve years, Messrs.
Jerome Schwartz, have just "handed the
public" another Irish ballad entitled "My
Irish Dearie, and, strange to say. it does
not mention Killarney, the Blsrney Stone,
the Shamrock, Erin's Isle, the River
Shannon, or the shiliaIy-in fact, it is an
Irish song without the usual Irish trim
mines. Mr.. Jerome deserves credit for
getting away from the old.time methods,
and this song, with its splendid musical
setting by Jean Schwartz, is destined to
meet with great success.
Chorus -Dearie. my Irish de.rie,
Save all your real smiles for me.
Don't let your beart grow weary. dearie:
Think Of me constantly: now. dearie. don't get
True love is nice and cheerv.
Say that ysu're glad I'm here
Hold me tight with all your might
Your eyes are full Of love tonight.

ORGANIZATION

To get country people together
is Il great point. Those who wish
to make country life mole attrac-

precinct unions. merging into
county unions. for the purpose of
solidifyiny and socializing the
rural population. Union, not dis
union. is what is needed. and to
promote some uniting organization
is felt to be one of the important
tasks: but where could union be-
more fitting!y achieved than under
the creed which teaches the broth.

case looks desperate at times. yet
we still believe there will some.
time be union of the churches.
