Testimony Given at indian Land Probe

Charges of the changing of records
on the tract books at the White Earth
Indian agency, giving indications that
certain individuals were favored, were
made in testimony given by Edward
B. LINEN, general inspector of the
department of the interior, before the
congressional Indian fraud inquiry at
Minneapolis.
"The tract books, which are the
land record books of the government
at the agency" said Mr.. LINEN, bore
notations il pencil and these notations
were later covered in ink | found
that in hundred or more cases there
were pencil notations of the mans
name opposite the description of the
land. 1t indicated to me that the par
ties were chosen for certain pieces of
land. When they later acquired the
land, which was the most valuable on
the reservation, the pencil notations
were gone over in ink; that is, after
the allotments were made.
The best pieces on the reservation
were indicated by estimates made for
the government. 1t was the, land that
had the best estimates that in the
tract book bore pencil rotations, later
gone over with ink. It is understood
in the government land Office Or any
other land office that any pencil or
other rotations look very suspicious"
