JUSTICE ABOVE ALL

The attorney general and the
states attorney for Cass county do
not propose to have that Scandinavian
Rank case at Fargo dropped without
another effort to bring those who
wrecked that institution to justice.
Through technicalities Judge McKen-
ma threw out the indictments return
ed by a former grand jury against
Townley, Hagen, Lemke and others
for alleged misrepresentation of funds
and which caused the wrecking of
this institution. A petition to Judge
Cooley, senior judge of the First
District, has been presented for the
calling of another grand jury to try
the cases again or at least to bring
the evidence before that jury with a
view Of getting new indictments. The
state of North Dakota is out some
thing over four hundred thousand
dollars as a result of that bank fail
lrre and much of this money was un-
lawfully obtained by men who had
no authority to get it. Judge Nc
kenna held that the indictments re-
turned by the former grand jury
| were erroneous and threw them out
, and the supreme court. sustained him.
1t matters not whether the wreckers
! be leaguers or I. v. AS, the ones
who caused that bank to go on the
rocks and the state to lose all that
money should be brought to the bar
| of justice to answer for it.-Valley

COMPLETE IN
LAND CASE
Controversy Between Indians
and Government To Be
Settled

Fort Yates, N. D., Sept. 27.-Taking
of testimony in the famous Black
Hills land controversy between Sioux
Indians and the government over
possession of the Black Hills was
completed at the reservation here
by attorneys representing the Sioux
nation and the department of jus
tice.
It is expected that a. hearing will
be held early in 1924 before the
court of claims, at which some of
the old Indians and white men, who
attended the 1875 and 1876 council
meetings and who testified at the
hearing here, will be examined again.
They declared that at the Red
Cloud council in 1875, commission
ers who were trying to effect a
treaty told them that the govern
ment wanted to lease only the top
of the Black Hills country for a
period of ten years. Indians at the
council claimed coercion was used.
the witnesses said. The same tactics
were used in the council at Fort
Yates in 1876, they said, when a
treaty was signed through which
the government claims to have pur-
chased the Black Hills from the
Sioux.
They claim that this violated the
treaty of 1868 by which, it is said,
the government guaranteed to pre-.
serve intact all territory then be.
