benefited by transfers before death

the courts.
Mr.. C, for instance, was II years
old. He had been chronic suf-
ferer from diabetes and contracted
pneumonia. He was told that
when pneumonia developed where
diabetes existed death usually fol-
lowed. He transferred property
valued at $3O0,OOo-and died.
Here the solicitor upheld the
agents and review board that the

But did Uncle Sam get any tax?
He did not. A court, sitting as

Such cases could be cited by the

evaded must be made up by heavier
taxes on the rank and file of tax

THE 1887 FILIBUSTER
Historical Society Bulletin)

Historical Society Bulletin)
The story of strange filibus-
tering army" which struggled
across northern Minnesota in the
winter of 1867 under the leader
ship Of General" James Dickin-
son, intent upon the establishment
of an Indian empire in the west,
is told in the words of a partici-
pant, Martin Mcleod, in a newly
issued number of the Minnesota
History Bulletin. Mcleod kept u
diary on the expedition and this
record, its pages now yellOw'vi
with age and its ink rustbrown in
color, is in the possession of the
Minnesota Historical society. 1t
has been edited, with an introduce
ton and numerous annOtations, by
DR.. Grace Lee Mute, curator of
manuscripts for the historical So
ciety.
General Dickinson. alias Monte
yuma H." alias the "Liberator,"
with some go followers crossed
Minnesota from Fond du Lac to
Pembina; he planned to recruit
half-breeus at the Red River COL
ony, then to march west, capture
Santa Fee, take California from
Mexico and set up an Indian king
dom with himself as monarch!
America has been the land of
roseate Dreams" writes DR.. Mute.
but among all its visions of
wealth and power, where is the
equal for novelty and adventure OF
this mad product of Dickinson's
disordered mind?"
The fantastic filibuster ended in
tragedy, the details of which are
recorded in McLeod's diary. After
a lake trip from Buffalo, the party
started from Fond Gu Lac in ca
noes, took the st. Louis portage
route to Sandy Lake, then went to
Lake Winnebagoshish and Red
Lake via the Mississippi. The
Minnesota winter proved a fearful
enemy. First the guides deserted,
then part of the company turned
back; snowstorm obliterated the
wagon trail which the party was
following; the way was lost; the
men were frostIbitten. After
three months of hardship the Lib
orator" and his "army" reached
Pembina. but no recruits were Sc
cured. the expedition melted away,
and "Montezum II" himself dis
appeared without trace.
Mcleod lived to become an in
fluentisl and respected Minnesota
citizen for whom one county of
the state has been named. His
diary is a fascinating human doc
ument, written in spirited style by
a filibuster who found time to read
Xenophon and Byron on his jour-
ney. The entries give vivid pic
lures of the march through the
wilderness and are interesting for
the study of early Minnesota char
acters and geographic names. The
document as whole reveals a
highly interesting chapter in early
mid-western history.
