eyes Of the Chippewa Indians of the
Bad River Indian reservation. This
money, the real animus OF the fight
against the deposed agent, Sam w.

Indians will be able to spend their
own money.
The fight against Campbell has
been long. 1t ended the day before
Christmas, when a curt letter from
Secretary of the Interior Fisher, noti-
fed Mr.. Campbell that he was dis
missed. Incidentally the letter con-
veyed the information that no dis
honesty was charged or proven, end
that the sole ground :or dismissal
was violation of the regulations OF
the department.

John c. Spooner. He was a resident
of Hudson, and former sheriff of st.
