NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

covered tissue meditatively> over in his fingers, the electric bulbs that strung the mausoleum roof broke into sudden light. From different quar- ters of that shadowy building, at the same time, stepped a group of hid den officers, headed by David Manley himself.
 So quickly and so quietly did that transformation take place, indeed, that the man leaning over the casket had neither time nor chance to change his position. He merely blinked a little stupidly at the re- volver which glimmered in Manley's hand. Then, with a gesture that seemed equally stupid, he reached for his watch and held the heavy gun metal case meditatively between his fingers.
 Stick 'em up!" Manley was at the same time commanding with a curt head movement toward Legar's hands. Tt may have taken some work, but this is the time we gather you in!"
 Legar laughed as he confronted his enemies.
 DO yOo Wdllt tO torAO 1l1O c1lltO. he calmly inquired.
 Alive or dead, I'm going to take you!'
 You're sure of that?"
 "Yes, I'm almost sure of it."
 ''Then take this first" cried Legar.
 At the same moment that he spoke the left hand, in which he still held what seemed to be black metal watch case, swung forward. And as that object which so closely resem- bled a black watch hurtled through the air Legar flung himself flat on his face along the vault flooring. Then the black watch struck.
 The next moment the walls of that ponderous structure of marble and sandstone, seemingly built to defy time itself, lifted bodily in the air, like the hull of a torpedoed dread nought. Then, following the roar and rumble of that vast detonation, came the momentary catastrophe silence which so strangely and yet so in- evitably succeeds a calamity too gi- gantic and too abrupt to be under stood.
 That ominous silence, however, lasted only few seconds. Out of 1t arose mufled calls and thin cries for help, followed by answering shouts

 While actually nothing more than a. small-sized hand grenade, it's claim to distinction lay in the tremendous explosive power which stood com passed between it's slender metal walls.
 Legar was not coward. Yet as he stood in the clammy midnight air of the golden mausoleum and quietly removed the screws that held the top on the black casket beside him he found that combination of silence and gloom and unsavory surroundings a little more of a strain on his nerves than he had anticipated. Yet as he lifted back the sable cover of the casket he did so with hand that was still steady. Thence he took up his f1ashlight, and pressing close to the coffins side, stood studying the pal lid face that lay surrounded by it's even more pallid drapery of white satin.
 He stared at that pallid face long and intently. He stared at it with studious and narrowing eyes. Then he did a strange and an inexplicable thing.
 Lifting his maimed right arm that ended in it's shank of steel, he brought it down with crash on the glass cover of the casket. Then, as though infuriated by some unreasoning ha- tired for the pallid face still staring so impassively up at him. he struck again. This time the blow fell directly on the head between the white satin swathings. But that failing arm, instead of striking a human head of flesh and bone, crashed down through a thin shell of fiber and tinted wax.
 Legar, focusing his light on that shattered mask, emitted short bark of triumph as the meaning of it all came home to him. He leaned for several minutes over the violated cas- ket, staring at it with insolent yet ab- stracted eyes, pondering just what move could lie beyond so intricately engineered a subterfuge. And the an- swer to that question came more promptly and more directly than he had anticipated. For as he stood there, turning piece of the wax

But there was limit to what that team of spirited blacks would endure. And they suddenly, to all intents and purposes, determined to follow their own line of travel at their own rate of speed, for, as the driver sat on the box apparently saving on the reins, that exasperated team plunged sud- denly forward, swerved across the road, and went galloping down tree- screened bypath which was little

results merited pity in the waste
of such gallant efforts for objects
possessing no merit, and it was
notedly evident that the conven-
ton was delighted to see your

of each struggle.

the Indians ideals are as near
socialism as can be made, the in

equal, and there should be no dis
examination, there should be no

Fraud Alleged In White
Earth Case Brief Filed
By Federal Attorneys.

Francis j. Kearful, special as
sistant to the United States attorn-
ey general, and Leslie G. Garnet,
associate counsel, today filed a
brief for the September term of
the United States circuit court of
appeals in the case of the United
States against Lucky S. Waller
and Mamie S. Waller, involving
purchase of White Earth Indian
lands after the passage of the C)app
amendment.
The case is typical of the many
recently settled by agreement be-
tween Franklin X. Lane, secretary
of the interior, and r. j. Powell,
attorney for the land owners on
the White Earth reservation.
The government, in the brief as
filed, takes the position that not
outstanding The passage of the
Clapp amendment which gave the
. Indians the right, to sell their
lands, the Incompetent Indians
still remained in a condition of
pupilage towards the government.
The case in point involved al
legged fraud in obtaining from two
Indians land parcel valued at
$500 by having the Indians attest
paper thought by them to be a
receipt for $50 on part payment,
but which was in fact a warranty
deed for the land.-Minneapolis
Journal, Aug. 18th.

Gale to the fact that this is pure
ly a personal matter with him. and
he could not have expected the
council to be interested in it.
Bird. The rep y also states that it
is evident that Rev. Frank Pc
quette is the whole cause of Mr..
Coffey's helligerency, because the
former has ursurped his in
duence with the Indians upon
the reservation to which he be-
longs, the Fond du Lac reserva-
ton.
Reference is made to the work
of Rev. Frank Pequette on behalf
of the members of the Fond du-
Lac and Nett Lake reservations in
this way: He saw wherein the
members of your reservation need
ed assistance and he did what you
have never done, went to WASH
ington, and put up money for ex-
penses for this purpose, and got
legislation for them. You have re-
manned at home and banked at
everything that has been UNDER
taken for the Chippewas of Mime
sofa in Congress, or before the de-
partments, by representatives of
the tribe.'
The publisher also says that he
is glad to be informed by Mr..
Cotfey that Mr.. Pequette is a
friend Of the former, but denies
that he has ever had any business
relations with him, and did not
even intrude any curiousity upon
him by trying to learn what his
business and that of Chief Mike
Diver was at Washington when he
met them there; Mat Mr.. Pequette
is a man of integrity, and minister

Finds Fault Because Res
o|utionS Committee Did
Not Favor Him.

Recently, the chairman of the
resolutions committee of the Be-
midi General Council Of Minneso-
ia Chippewas, furnished Rev.
Frank Pequette, Of Sawyer, Min
nesota, with resolution James
Coffey had offered to the committee
attacking the rights of Mr.. Re-
\ ouette as a member of the Chip
pewa bands of Minnesota, and ne
notified Mr.. Coffey of this and in
formed him the resolution would
be returned to him by Mr.. Pc
ouette. To this act of the CHAIR
man Mr.. Cofey took exceptions
in letter which is as follows, and
is published because it refers to
tribal business:
