Expenses For An Appeal
And A MandamuS Suit.

Subscription lists are being cir
cnlated to pay Webster Ballinger
to defend the appeal Of the gov
eminent from the decision which
the U. S. Circuit Court of APP
peaIs rendered against 1t last
spring for using $165, 900 of Chip
pewa tribal funds contrary to law.
This is the ease which was COM
menced in the name of John G..
Morrison, president of the Gener-
al Council of Minnesota Chippe-
was.
Another subscription paper that
is being circulated is one to pay
Mr.. Ballinger to mandamus the
Secretary of the Interior to ap.
point members of the Chippewas
of Minnesota bands to the posi-
tons for which they have ap-
piled.
Both Of these subscriptions are
deserving of the strongest support
of the Chippewas of Minnesota,
and they should Dot hesitate to
make donations.

No Doubt Of Wilson's
Election.

When a. state like Minnesota,
which has always had Republl
can majority of from fifty to
seventy-five thousand during a
presidential election, becomes
doubtful there can be 10 other
construction placed upon the con-
dition than that President Wilson
will be re elected.
President Wilson has been re-
sponsible for much Legislation
which has beer favorable to the
country at large. and forcible Re-
pu blican speakers have been I'M
able to overcome this; their argu-
ments have failed to impress the
voters.
While the electoral vote of Min
nesota is doubtful, there is no
doubt that the Republican state
ticket will be elected with its usual
<oldstime majority. ii
Besides the disadvantage of hav-
ing conditions against him Justice
Hughes made the mistake Of his
life by STOPPING ito such methods
as he has in his campaign. Ac-
cording to sentiment heard ex
pressed on every hand he drove
away votes instead Of securing
them for himself.
Had Roosevelt been nominated
the campaign this year might have
been the keenest in the history of
the country with toss up as to
who would have been the winner.
The Republicans made their mis-
take in nominating Hughes, but
even at that the country will not
suffer any.

Death Of Mrs. Darwin
Darwin s. Hall.

At Olivia, Mimi, last week, &C.
Cured the death of Mrs. Darwin
S. Hall, wife Of Hon. Darwin S.
Hall, who was for many years
Chippewa Commissioner.
In 1869 Mrs. Hall came to Min
nesota from Canada, and settled at
Beaver Falls. The same year she
was married to Mr.. Hall. Her
birthplace was Portage du fort,
Quebec, Canada.
Mrs. Hall has been in poor
health for several years which was
caused by cancer. She had an
operation about two years ago,
but this failed to effect cure.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hall have 40
children. so that he is left entirely
alone.
Mr.. Hall is we'll known here,
and is very popular among the
members of this reservation, and
many of them will no doubt feel
that his sorrow is also theirs. Mrs.
Hall, while he husband was Chip
pewa Commissioner, visited this
reservation, but she did not re-
main here long enough to form
any acouaintances. Those who
did meet her express sorrow at
her death, and say that she was i,
most estimable woman with keen
sympathy towards the Indians
whom her husband came in con
tact in his official capacity and
otherwise.

Indian Absorption B
Whites Is Seen.

That the Indian race, although
ITS birth rate is rising and its death
rate falling, will disappear in the
United States in the next so years
is the belief of Rev. g. l.. Hall OF
North Dakota, 40 years mission
ary on the Fort Berthold reserva-
ton.
,''Intermarrlage, Dr.. Hall said,
sswill in time completely merge
the Indian and white races and the
former will disappear as far as
externals are concerned. The
process haa already gone a good
way and has been in process,
roughly speaking, since the mar
rage of Pocahontas and John
Smith. .,.
mo such stigma attaches itself
to intermarriage between whites
and reds as with certain other
races.'' he said. At present, there
is only one Objectionable feature.
Many whites are marrying Indian
women to get their share of tribal
wealth. In North Dakota, this
may range from 800 to 500 acres
of land. In Oklahoma and else
where, rich oil and metal deposits
are held. But this, too, is hurry
ING along the amalgamation of the
faces. '-Ex.

Many Indian Cases Set
tied.
Government Officials Finally Arrive Al
Adjudication Of Reservation Land
Titles.

During the past few weeks set
Element has been effected in some
two hundred of the reservation
land title cases which have been ir
litigation for the past five or siA
years. IT,.
The cases which have been dis.
posed Of have oeen settled between
Attorney Francis j. Kearful, rep
resenting the government. and the
present title holders, upon the
basis of an appraisal made of the
value of the land at the time OF
purchase, the amount Of money
paid the Indian, and the difference
to be paid by the purchaser-it
any.
This settlement has yet to be
approved by the Washington au.
thorities, but as the basis of set
Element has been set by federal
representatives, it is already likely
that objections will be found by
the powers that be ut the national
capital.
AS yet no method of adjudica-
ting the so called fuIlblood cases
has been agreed upon, the govern
mcnt representatives contending
that as these men had no right to
di >pose of their real estate, the
government is powerless to ap-
prove Of the transfer upon any
terms. However, they do admit
that in many cases the question OF
fraud lies against the Indian rather
than the white purchaser, and that
undoubtedly some method OF set
Element will be arrived at where
by the innocent purchases will be
protected in whole or in part.
AS the matter now stands the
settlement of the cases mentioned
is the first step in the clearing up
of situation that has been highly
detrimental to Becker and adjoin-
ing counties, and all will hope that
other litigation pending will be
expedited in such manner as will
allow this rich country to come in.
to it's own and be made one OF the
most productive in the Northwest
within the near future.
Attorney Kearful is very OPTIC
MYSTIC regarding early settlement
and unless a change of admins
tration again brings change of
policy, the end of the White Earth
land litigation can be seen within
the relatively near future. -Ex.

A Meeting Of Protest,

Some of the members of this
reservation met at the White
Earth Hall last Monday for the
purpose of protesting against the
rule of the superintendent here OF
with holding the shares Of some
who are entitled to the big pay
ment which is now being held.
Threats had been PREVIOUSLY
made by these persons to forcibly
stop the superintendent from max
ing the payment unless the full
amount would be paid to each per-
son on the rolls, but better counsel
prevailed and the meeting referred
to was called.
Superintendent Hinton was asked
how he intended to treat the per
sons whose money he is with hold
ing, and he stated that he had re-
ceived instructions from the In
dian Office to do as he is doing, but
it any of the persons whose pay
ments are being with held desired
to send protests to the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs, he would
be glad to forward the protests.
He also stated that the Commits
sioner of Indian Affairs is particu-
larly opposed to paying those who
are we'll known as persons who
are in the habit of using intoxi-
cants, but if they would sign
pledges to abstain from the use of
liquor he might pay them.
The classes who are effected by
the departments order are those
who are regarded as the disorder
ly element of this reservation. and
also The incompetents.
SsS The jncompetents are those vito
are carried on the rolls Of the
warehouse, and i1 cannot be denied
that the Indian Office is justified in
with holding from these persons
the amounts which they are en-;
titled to and of paying it out in
installments.
But there are some who owe
large bills for their subsistence in
the past, and for clothing pur-
chased from merchants, and these
should receive sufficient amount
to pay this Indebtedness and OBJ
tain clothing for the winter that
is at hand.

to Mr. Wilson, or were placed in the doubtful

before any definite claim could be made, Ill
though 1T appeared that the democrats would
retain control of the Senate without question

and republican headquarters were scenes of

both sides claimed ma orities in the electoral
college, there seemed nevertheless to be q
feeling at both places that there was chance
that the determination of the inaI result with
so many States doubtful, might be prolong-

which might be drawn out for days with the

GAME is PLENTIFUL NOW.
Strict Enforcing OF Law Results in
Marked Increase. (.

Game IN this section Of South Caro-
lima is more plentiful now than it has
been for two generations, according
to Warden Vivian, Sloan. The
abundance Of game in the woods and
fields Is due to the limited hunting
seasons as fixed by the laws of re-
cent years and also to the enforce,
ment OF these regulations. Deer, wild
turkeys and quail are all very plenti-
full.
Severe pealties are inflicted ON
those who violate the game laws. The
practice of what is called fire hum
ing is especially Objectionable. The
game Is found by the use Of a sui
phide lamp worn on the hat, the bril-
liant rays from which cause q no.
ticeable reflection in the eyes of the
animal. Cattle are often thus mistake
en- for deer and shot. Mr.. Sloan says
that style Of hunting will be vigor-
ously prosecuted. It is said that
there arc a number of persons who
are known Ito employ this style OF
hunting and that there are a NUM-.
her OF such law-breakers in nearby
