Plea for Share in Menominee
Tribe Fund

The District Court of Appeals. in
an opinion by Justice Van Orsdel
today, directed the District Supreme
Court to issue a mandamus against
Hubert Work, Secretary OF the In
terror, requiring him to recognize the
claim of Alexander Besaw TO his share
in the interest due on tribal funds and
which interest was about TO be dis
tributed among the Menominee In.

Besaw claimed TO be entitled through
his mother TO share in the tribal
funds. The Department of the Interior
denied his claim and he brought suit
for mandamus, which the lower
court refused. Besaw then appealed
and the appellate tribunal reversed
the decision OF the lower court The
higher court finds that the Govern
ment failed 10 establish by convincing
proof that the mother was not a

TAX UNPAID;
MARTIN LAND

1t will be recalled that the state
desired to purchase land at Devils
lake owned by Miss G. S. Martin
and the price asked was thought
to be too high. Since the proper
ty was valued at q, much higher
figure than assessed the amount
on the tax roll was greatly in
creased by, the assessor. Since
that time there has been delay in
paying the taxes and unless
paid by June II, 1926, the property
will be decided to the one who has
paid the taxes with the idea the
amounts would eventually be adj
vanced by the owner. The parcels
of land with the amounts due are

LYONS Fish And
Game League in
The Annual Hunt

The Lyons Fish and Game Lea
que met Monday evening to make
final arrangements for hunt, Nov.
9TH and Sth and supper Nov. 9Th
at Lyons church. n c. Roger
was elected captain of the reds
and Ted Pierce captain of the
blues. Mr.. Roger feels he is a
sure winner after looking over his
sharpshooters and bloodhounds,
while Mr.. Pierce says he will pilot
his rabbit chasers for sc hours with
out food, water or rest in order to
give the blues their first victory
since the organization of this club.
The enthusiasm shown by the two
captains indicates that this will
be the most interesting and hard
fought contest ever held. The
skill of these two champion hunt
ers and the strategy they will re-
Iy upon will be the deciding factors
in this contest.
Reports are that Ted Pierce is
setting box traps catching Dummies
and stalking them out until Nov. z
while Mr.. Roger is relying upon
the tubular rat traps, catching
squirrels and putting them in sol
itary confinement until the open
ing of the hunt.
