made that quite plain altho there were

and served in the Civil War.

Chippewas orators. Il am pleased to

words that he was willing to join Little

so. We held council. Moo-zoo-mau-
! nee was present. He was chief at that
time, and at that council he led the dis
cussion as to whether to accept the pipe
or not. The chiefs considered every
thing pretty well. They considered OLE
children, our young men and women,
and our warriors, and decided they would
not take part because it would be useless
bloodshed. For these reasons they de-
cided not to go, and to remain friendly
to the whites. From that time the.Mille

Chippewa Indian Chief Is
Honored By Men He Protected

Politicians were scarce at the dedica-
ton OF the Moo-zoo- Maun-Nee monu-
ment at old Fort Ridgely Thursday.
Fearing the ridicule that might result
from participation in the ceremonies
connected with the unwilling, most of
the state officials side-stepped the affair.
George F. Author, private secretary
of Governor Eberhart, State Auditor S.
G. Iverson, Attorney General Lyndon A.
Smith and W. E. Lee, Republican nomi-
nee for governor had no fear of the conse-
quences and helped dedicate the memorial
erected to an Indian who, it is alleged,
was transferred from the Sioux to the
Chippewa nation by legislative enact
ment.
The monument commentaries SER
vices rendered the whites by the Chippe-
was during the Sioux Massacre in 1862.
The Moo-Zoo-M Nee memorial is
a granite shaft three feet square at the
base and Is in height
It has been placed in the cemetery at
the old post only few feet from the
monument erected to Captain John S..
Marsh, whose command was wiped out
by the Sioux in the first attack on the
Lower agency. Fully 1000 persons at
tended the dedication.
George F. Author accepted it on the
behalf of the state, and other speakers
were Auditor Iverson, Attorney General
Smith, Senator H. N. Benson, St. Peter;
Miss May Dennis, Duluth; Oar. S. Hall,
Olivia; w. E. Lee. Lake Prairie; Theodore
H. Beaulieu, White Earth.
The unwilling of the monument was
done by a child of less than three years
of age. The little girl was Patricia Bella
Daily, greatgrand-daughter of Chief
Moo-sou-Mau-Nee.
Mr.. Lee upheld the action of the Legis-
laature in voting the monument appropri-
alton and said that he wanted to go on
record as vouching for the fidelity, the
honesty and the peaceable intentions of
the Chippewas of Minnesota.
Theodore Beaulieu, speaking as the
representative of the tribes, told of the
successful efforts put forth by the old
chieftain to prevent the Chippewas from
uniting with the Sioux and making war
on the white settlers. Criticism from sew
eral sources to the effect that the erection

clearly refuted, leaving no doubt as to the
friendly character of the Chippewa chief
and his people. Beaulieu was an eloquent
speaker and couched his thoughts in the
choicest English. He is man of strik-
ing appearance and convincing PERSONAL
ity and he left little doubt in the minds of
his hearers that his is a mind the equal of
that of his white brothers of more than or
binary ability.
Several Indians were present, among
whom were Chief Andrew Daily, Chief
Joseph Charrett, Chief Little Wolf,
Chief Peter Parker, all Of whom spoke in
their own tongue, Chief Daily serving as
interpreter. These old chiefs were young
men in the days Of '62 and they were en-
phatic in saying that their tribe had been
friendly and told Of, incidents to prove the

The remainder of the crop for canning

hotel borrowed money from everybody
who would loan it notably from young
