BULLHEADS FROM SAUK LAKE
AT LAKE KORONIS PARTY

George Fish, of this city, on
Thursday night Of last week, at
tended a fish fry at Lake Koronis,
near Paynesville. This event, a
stag party, was given by Sheriff
Art McIntee at his Lake Koronis
cottage for deputy sheriffs and
game wardens. The fish served at
the party were bullheads from
Sank Lake, and they were prepar-
ed by Game Warden Leo Peyton,
Of Melrose, as the chef. Sank Lake
came in for its amount of praise
as a good fishing lake, and the
guests vowed the Sank Lake bull
heads were the best ever.

Needed badly to bolster the plac-

ence, the Morris game looms in i'm
portance in the face Of Sank Cen
tres opening scoreless tie with
Benson. Regarded as something
of a moral victory for the Main
Streeters, the four scoreless frames
nevertheless made the game no
contest in the rating, placed them
after the Litchfield defeat in the
total loss column.
Buoyed after the showing
against an obviously strong Itch
field team, unbeaten now in two
tits, coaches were still dissatisfied
with the performance of the local
club. "But they did play football"

Just the length of time it took

lone touchdown and the game. At
ter that first few minutes sustain
ed drive down the field that saw
Litchfield's Thurber bucking from

Coaches saw lack of timing in

January 8, 1910
Honorable Sec of the Interior
Dear Sirs:
We the members of the Black
feet tribe of Indians, do hereby pro-
test the sale of Oil and Gas leases
as advertised for sale by the pre-
sent Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council dated as of Jan. 4, 1910,
for the following reasons:
Article VII; Section VIII: in our
constitution, and so mentioned in
the advertisement, giving a men,
Der of the tribe or cooperative as
ISOLATION preference rights to lease,
does not in our opinion concern the
sale of Oil and Gas Leases, but re-
fers strictly to farming and grazing
leases, Business Leases, and graz
ing permits, if in the event such ar
ticleS did include the sale of oil and
gas leases, would be unfair and
detriment to the vast majority OF
the members of our tribe for the
very simple reason that it would
withdraw valuable minerals and oil
lands from the competitive bidding
regulations. Thereby depriving or
possibly depriving from receiving a
fair bonus price from their oil and
gas leases and leaving a select few
to possibly prosper at the expense
of the members of the whole tribe.
If some of our financially able
members would care to bid on these
lands as provided by regulations,
etc, in an open and competitive bid,
there would be no objections we
are sure.
We want to also call your atten-
ton to the facts as reported by your
Auditors report, of report date
that there were numerous irregu-
larities, etc, committed by the pre-
sent council And we are convinced
beyond doubt that the article and
the section they quote is deliber-
ate act on their part to misconstrue
the meaning of Article VII: Section
VIII; to enable a few, being men,
bers of our council to pull off a
grand steal on the tribe. We are
making arrangements to call pub
lie meeting of the members of the
tribe to inform them of what we
think is wrong and your office will
.undoubtly receive numerous other
protests. Hoping that we have made
ourselves clear on this issue, we
beg to remain,
Respectfully yours
