On the Mencminee Rse-
ervation as Claimed
BY MANY NEWSPAPER ARTICLES
Up to the Department to Make q
Thorough Investigation

Can it be true that graft exists on the
Menominee reservations Earlier in the
year different newspapers put up the cry of
graft existing on the Mcnomince reservation.
But to date we have not learned if an in
vestigation having been ordered TO invcsti-
gate there. But tnen what is the good of
any kind of investigation --no good has ever
come of it as far as we ever known. 1t is
undoubtedly the department means well
enough but it is the men they send out for
the purpose. The Menolninec tribe of In
dians are<in possession of beautiful forest
of pine. In 1881 this tribe settled on the
tract of land they now reside on but was not
then known as the Mcnominee Indian Res
ervation until some years after These
Indians later borrowed money and went to
logging their timber and by hard work and
sacrifice on their part accumulated nice
bank roll which was deposited to their
credit, something over $4,000 600. BY so
doing these Indians were recognized as self
sustaining and practicai loggers. During
the last FIVE years Of Indian logging they
made nearly $1,000, 900. winch goes to
show the government that the Indians called
sdegenerates are coippetart and progressive.
But here is where the government took a
hand on the advise sof Senator Robert M.
LaFollette ana mill was erected for the
,,,,n,,f,o+,,ra &c +b, ,:,,Lo.N..l .
steadtof accommodating s., Qa0 900, they hays
expendettsover aamIllion in the same length
of time. Little dfd the Iniian on the resrr-
vation dream they were working through all
these years to. build an experiment plant and
a summer resort for white man on an In-i
dian reservation and spending the money
made by the Indian just as an experiment,
Don't YOU think, kind reader, we are some
what behind the timess The Indians don't
want their reservation and timber used as All
experiment station. II the government
wish to operate this mill as an experiment
station let them guarantee to us SO to $40
per thousand for our timber as other lumber
ing concerns would be only too willing to-
pay. When an Indian asks for work they
claim he is not qualified, but the way our
money is dwintlling awav shows the quali6c-
alton of our head men in the spending of
our money. Surely the Department will
not sit idly by and allow the Indian to lose
his all in an experiment numbering plant,
but will halt on this hit and miss mill
operation on this reservation and give the
Indian chance to save little something
out of his fast fading wealth. The hobby
and political ambitions of one senator should
not jeopardize our entire band. All we ask

DEAD BODY FOUND
FOURTH. or JULY
North York Farmer who disappeared
FOUND. .....1


The mystery of the disappearance of
Charles Lowrie farmer living at North
York. Ashland county was solved Fourth
of July by the discovery OF the body about
half mile from the residence. Henry
Davidson against whom there had been
some suspicion was brought to Ashland by
Undersherif Dornlady for interrogation by
the officials.
Lowrie disappeared about the 23rd Of. last
March. He had recently sold some property
and his disappearance started considerable
talk in the neighborhood. Several days ago
some of these parties come to the district
attorney reported Lowrie's disappearance,
and also reported that Davidson had been
talking about the case and they wished for
Fan invetigation. Undersherif Dormedy went
fourth and brought Davidson back to Ash
land with him, first advising the formation
of searching party to ascertain ifi were
possible that Lowrie's disappearance might
be solved. Shortly after he reached Ash
land with Davidson he received telephone
message that the searching party had found
the body and party consisting of Coroner
Solie Sheriff Kliensteiber, Undersheriff
Dormedy and District Attorney Stanley
Smith left at once for North York where an
inquest was held. Lowrie's body was dis
covered under wind fall in the dense fdh ests
near big reyine, comparatively short dis
tance from his house where it had been
lying since last March and identihcations
was only possible by clothes Money amount
ing to SIS. 90 and watch were found on
the body but it was impossible to discover
any marks of violence. Search was then
made in the house and among his affects
was also found about $500
The officials say that .Lowrie was a large
man and that it would have been practically
for any one to have carried the
body to the place where it was found and
up to this stage of investigation there is
absolutely nothing against Davidson.

Last Saturday was gala day in Odanah
and everybody remained at home and en-
joyed themselves. In the morning parade,
headed by the Odanah band, was had after
which speaking and singing exercises were
held at the Loyal Theatre by Mr.. Frank
Hook and Rev. Klein. The afternoon was
filed up with sports Of all kinds, which
were enjoyed by large crowd of people.
The celebration was fine success in
every way and goes to show what can be
done if the people but take interest in their
own town. The celebration was simply an
experiment and was most successful one.
A large number of people from surrounding
towns aided us in ouf celebrating and were
all very highly pleased with it. One feature
we would enlarge on is the fact that not a
single drunk was seen in our town the en-
tire day which goes to show that the many
remarks made as to the Indian drinking is
not true. Our agent Mr.. Everest and chief
clerk Mr.. Rodman spent the entire day in
our village celebrating and both are highly
pleased on the orderly manner of the cele-
bration. Much credit is due the committee
S. ]. Stiensrra, H. E.. Halliday, w. ID.
Denomie, and to Mr.. NJ Hook, sr., for
the manner in which they conducted the
sports of the day and we wish to thank them
in behalf of the people for the manner in
which the program was gone through. Next

ODANAH DROPS
TWO GAMES
Odanah Loses Two More Games to
Park Falls.

The Odanah ball team again lost two
games to Park Falls in fast contest by a
score of to l and to 2. Both games
being lost in the eight inning. 1t seems
this is an unlucky inning this year for the
Odanah team as practically every game this
year has been lost in this inning. Greeley
pitched good ball up to this inning when he
had to be pulled and Frank Doolittle finish
ed the game, while in the last game Doolit-
tie pitched fine ball and in his old time form.
1t is undoubtedly there is no pitcher in this
section has anything On Frank when he is
going good and it looks as though he is
rounding into old time form

Supt. SickeIs has Re-
signed Position
ON LAC DU FlAMBEAU RESERVATION
Can the Following Affidavit have
Had Anything to Do With It?

Supt. Sickels of the Lac du Flambeau res
ervation has rendered his resignation. We
now wonder if the following affidavit can
have had anything to do with his resigna-
ton. If the following ahidavits are any CT
terion of the way he has treated the Indian
is it any wonder he has resigned. We are
now just starting on campaign for the
righting of the many wrongs on Wisconsin
reservations and The Star will flom week

respondents from the reservations that will
be inside history and which will make the
department sit up and take notice.

md says he is about 60 years of age, and
hat he is member of the Lac du FIam-
beau band of Indians, residing at Lac du
Flambeau and on the fourth day of Nov
ember 1918 being Toesday and pay day Of
Indian moneys he went and was at the In

never having received any monthly allow
ance OF interest or any part OF his money,
pnd with the view of ascsrtaining if he could
secure for his son the interest mofey, and
upon asking the said agent, Sickics, for the
money he replied ssNo, I viii not give i.so
You. He was then asked IL he wUulf give
him the scale reports or a statement Of his
account the agent again refused and showed
great anger and getting up from his desk
walked toward Henry and struck him onthe
side of the head with sufficient force to cause
the blood to flow from his mouth and his
face to swell. At the time the agent struck
Henry he also grabbed hold of him and at
tempted to put him out but he resisted. AT
that juncture Henry told him he wished to
ask him what he had done with the balance
of the forty dollars he had charged to his
father, The doctor saying his medical
treatment had cost only ten dollars where
hpon the agent by the questioning got in
rage and called my son to an adjoining room
where he attempted to throw him down but
upon my appearance he desisted and the
policeman dragged him to the Jail door
where he ran away from them.

SAVES A BIG RAFT
i RECENTLY LOST
\
Was Attached BY U. S. Marshal
Push.

United States Marshal Pugh last Monday
attached on behalf OF Lake Superior Towing
Company the raft OF pulp wood which was
lost last week in the big storm while it was
being towed from. Canada to this city. The
raft was found out in the lake by fishermen
who notified the Lake Superior Towing
Company who Immediately sent out their
tug last week and towed their raft to the city
The raft belonged to the Wisconsin Pulp
Wood Association and was valued at about
$40, 600 and fully SIS, 900 worth of the logs
were saved.
The question has now arisen as to what
share Of the value of the logs the Lake
Superior Towing Company is entitled to for
saving them. l: was reported that the
owners are willing to pay IS, 600 but the
Lake Superior Towing Company consider
that they should be entitled to a good many
thousand dollars more than this for saving
the raft which would have been entirely de-
stroyed and lost i'll another "a hours had
they not saved it.
Last Monday Henry Wachsmuth, the
head of the Towing Company accompanied
by his attorney, John Walsh, of Washburn,
together with United States Marshal Pugh
formally attached the entire raft so that un-
less settlement is amicably made the ques-
ton will be fought out in United States
Court.
