SUPREME COURT TO DECIDE
How Much White Blood it
Takes to Convert a Full
Blood Indian Into a
Mixed Blood.

Washington. Jan. q How much
white blood it takes to convert a
full blood Indian into a mixed blood
is to be passed upon b. the Supreme
Court. Solicitor General Davis to-
day asked the court, because Of the
large amount Of land ownership
turning upon the answer, to consider
the question at an early date.
The question has arisen specifically
in the case Of the Chippewa Indians
of White Earth Reservation in
Minnesota. where under the law
mixed bloods' are permitted to sell
their allotted lands at once.
The Circuit Court of Appeals of
the Eighth Circuit. has held that
indefiable mixture of other blood
make Indians mixed bloods," and
the Government, seeking to set
aside sales by Indians with one-eighth
and one-sixteenth white blood
brought the case to the Supreme
Court.

Obituary..

Renwick Times: George F. Rich
ardson passed away at the residence
of Mrs. w. H. Bell at a. M, Jan
uary 23rd, 1914. His last two days
were days of suffering-but the last
few moments were peaceful, con-
scious moments of resignation: Just
as we have seen the sun approach its
setting, struggle through drifting
clouds and as it sinks below the hor-
lion it throws out tints and colors
Of unclouded beauty. His mind and
will were supreme to the last. His
life can be briefly summarized as fol-
lows:
He was born in the county of
Kent, Canada; Sept. 21st, 1926, be-
ing in his SSth year at his death,
and graduated from the Normal

han. Canada, Dec. 31st, 1852. They
lived together over sixty-one years
He taught school in various parts of
Canada and in 1856 moved to Wis
consin, became a citizen of the U. s.
and cast his first vote for General
John c. Fremont for President. For
eight years he followed his vocation,
teaching in the public schools OF

Resolutions of Respect.

1t is with exceeding regret that
we are mourning the death Of our
brother, Chester Burton, of Webster
City lodge, No. 100, Of the Fraternal
Bankers Reserve society.
Whereas, God in His infinite wis
dom, has seen fit to remove from our
midst one for whom all knew him,
entertained feelings of affection and
esteem. And whereas, our late broth
er, C. C. Burton, endeared himself to
all by his genial and ever courteous
manner. He exemplified in his brief
experience the highest attributes OF
man, a dutiful husband and father,
therefore be it resolved by the men,
bers of Webster City lodge, No. 100,
in our regular meeting assembled,
that we deeply deplore the passing
of our brother, C. C. Burton, and we
are conscious that we have suffered
a loss which is irreparable. And be
it further resolved, that our charter
be draped for period of thirty days
and these resolutions be spread upon
our minutes and copy be given the
bereaved family and copies be fur
nished our bulletin at Cedar Rapids;
also the press of this city for publ
cation.

This enables the authori- ties to eradicate affected herds and to isolate and hold under Observation all suspected herds.

 At present, the chief danger lies in the possibility of there being concealed sources of infection the secretary added.
 All shipments of livestock from Canada to the United States will be barred by a quarantine order today at the department Of agriculture.
 While the disease has not been man. ifest in Canada 1t is reported that in fected cars have been sent over the border and the Quarantine is to pre- vent their re-entering the United States.
