Indians Are Not Wards OF Govern.
ment; New U. 8. Ruling.
Bismarck, N. D., March 11.-In-
dams who hold their land in severalty
and have patents from the govern
ment ~ citizens Of the state within
the boundaries Of which they reside
and can't claim to be wards Of the
government, is the new ruling Of the
department of tho interior relative to
certain Indians and .half-breeds in the
Turtle Mountain section Of this state.
There has always been more or less
misunderstanding and dispute over
this matter. Indians on the Fort Tot
ten and other reservations have voted.
They were eager to avail themselves
Of those rights. but some Of them still
wanted to cling to Uncle Sam and
have the tribal rights under the gov.
eminent.
The ruling eliminates this joint Do.
sttion assumed by some Of the red
men Of the state. They must in the
future be either government wards or
sovereign citizens Of the state and
there will be no half way ground.
