Ballclub, but the Indian commission
objected and ordered the meeting
held at Cass Lake. Among those pres
ent were Walter Dickens, former su-
perintendent Of Red Lake, now super
intendent of White Earth; Webster
Ballinger OF. Washington, attorney
for the general council, and DR..
Michael, supervising inspector for
the Indian service.
Businesslike Proceedings.
Mr.. Dickens presided and called
for the showing of credentials of
regularly elected delegates, he as
serting that only regularly chosen
delegates would be permitted to take
part. And there was gloom in the
camp Of the rebellious faction.
Again the threat to bolt the conven-
tion, when the presiding officer as
serted that no such action would be
tolerated and no recognition would
be forthcoming,1 that such actions
were at an end without the least
consideration. That settled the con-
troversy in jiffy, and the proceed
ings were proper and orderly. Mr..
Ballinger also took a hand in the
differences and so did DR.. Michael
the government inspector, and the
dove Of peace hovered.
The reelection of President Nor
rison was unanimous and there will
be no more chickering's and boltings
nor disruption in the affairs of the
