More than $4,000 is being paid
out here today to the Indians of the
White Earth reservation in their an
nual annuities.
The paying staff is made up of
superintendent John R. Howard; w.
G. West, chief clerk; William Daley,
assistant chief clerk, and C. A. Pet

chief of police, all from the White
Earth agency.
At the request of Major Howard
all the saloons here were closed to-
day between the hours of 10 a. m.
and p. m. and the police say that
not an intoxicated Indian resulted
from the bundle of money given
the Indians.
Howard Praises Bemidji.
"They couldn't get liquor at the
saloon,' said Superintendent How
ard, "it's the bootlegger that causes
the mischief. Remidji has done fine;
treated us splendid last year and that
is why we came back this year.
To Indians from Cass Lake, Bena
and Ball Club $1,235.3O was paid
and at noon 49 Indians from the Red
Lake Agency in this county had re-
ceived their gold-or rather checks.
Thumb Prints for Checks.
incidentally, when an Indian is
unable to endorse his check, the gov

that instead of making his mark the
Indian stamps the back of the check
with his right thumb, which is safe
proceeding, say the government Off

At noon $1,650 had been paid out

Strengthened circumstances as re-
suit of the recent cold.
Annuity This Year $9.63.
The annuity this year is 1893

Each member of the family is en-
titled to an annuity.
James DeJordan of Cass Lake took
the prize today, drawing an annuity
for himself and nine children. At
Beaulieau last week one Indian re-
ceived payments for himself and II

DR.. Dumas Still Optimistic.

That Dr. D. F. Dumas may become
a candidate to succeed himself as
mayor of Cass Lake at the election
in March, and that he is optimistic
regarding charges pending against
him is shown by the following print
ed in the st. Paul Dispatch following
visit of the Cass Lake physician to
that city last Saturday:
"Asserting that the charges
against him were cooked up and
were the result of political and
money plots and that he would be
vindicated by the State Supreme
Court and the United States govern
ment. Dr. D. F.. Dumas, mayor of
Cass Lake, Minn.. hinted at collusion
on the part of the attorney generals
office this morning, when he dis
cussed at the Ryan hotel the charges
against him.
''Acquitted at Brainerd, convicted
at Bemidji, and with a case pending
against him in the federal court at
Fergus Falls, DR.. Dumas is cheerful
over the final outcome
II am certain to be acquitted by
the Supreme Court he said this
morning. I an absolutely sure also
of an acquittal at Fergus Falls.
When the government learns the real
truth it will be only too glad to drop
the case.
When the Bemidji grand jury
meets next March, he said, there
will be more sensations. The arson
cases will be reopened and I expect
indictments to be brought against
some of the prominent men respon-
sible for my arrest and indictments.
II can be reelected at the Cass
Lake primaries next March, if !
choose to run again. he said.''
