BITS OF MlNNEsoTA's HISTORY
PREPARED BY MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Chippewa population. The first
school among the Sioux was
taught by Sarah Poage at Lac qui
Parle in 1895. In the same year
Doctor Williamson on the Mime
sofa established a school at which
he began teaching in the Dakotah
language. A school at Koposia was
begun in 1897.
In 1912 the young Chippewas
were given a mission school at
Red lake and in the same year
another school was established at
Cass lake.

The first general school for

tutes providing for general public

BOUNTY FOR SCALPS

Minnesota has paid bountes for
many things, particularly wild
animals in these later times,
II is interesting to know that
the state once offered. and paid,
bounties for dead Indians.
That was in 1853, the year fol-
lowing the great outbreak of the
Sioux. The Indians along the Min
nesota river had been conquered,
killed. confined and some were
ready 10 be hanged Remnants of
the tribe took to the woods area
in central Minnesota, Here they
would steal horses, threaten hui
man beings and their presence in
even scattered numbers, was driv-
ing the early settlers out Of the
country,
To clear the woods. Adiutant
General Oscar Malmros raised a
contingent of professional hunters
and scouts. These men, who knew
the country and the fighting
methods of the Sioux were paid
two dollars a day and provided
their own equipment. This force
was mustered in on July 20, 1883.
In that same month this gener-
al decreed that the state would
pay a bounty Of SOS for each In
dian scalp, The terms were later
UberalEed so that any citizen who
could prove that he had killed an
Indian could collect q bounty up

ernor raised the payment 70 $500,
While hounties may have con-
stituted an incentive very little

military funds and the state paid
for one scalp. The state records
Of that day also show a payment

WHY LAMENT?

l too could sing in sad lament
AS poets do for summer spent,
And grieve that autumns leaves are shed
To make a coverlet for winters bed.
But though could, will but smile,
Or merrily I'll laugh the while;
For autumn's glory would not miss,
So revel in a death like this.
Flame and blood and light of sun
Gather in leaves; then one by one
They gently fall or by windy gust
Color all the earth to rust.
So blow, high wind. though it seems rude
1 still will laugh when trees stand nude
And life their reaching arms on high
AS If to plead the reason why;
For summers seeming death will bring
Again ere long, another spring.

AS for last weeks episode, we sug-
geSt that every effort be made to have
the youngsters admitted to correction
al institutions. Perhaps it won't help
them but it will at least set a pre-
cedence and eliminate the idea that
nothing will be done
It's true that other communities
have similar problems but that does
MT get us off the hook. We aren't
responsible for events in other towns.
Tabor City should be our main in
tereSt and the people are responsible
if they permit juvenile delinquency to
flourish
1t isn't unusual to see Sabotage
youngsters roaming the streets at all
hours of the night. There seems to be
no law against such activity but GER
tainly it isn't conducive to keeping
these kids out of trouble.
Who is responsible for juvenile de-
linquency? While the subject may be
debatable. it is our belief that parents
contribute more than any other one
factor.
If parents were subjected to fines
and Jail sentences for the deeds OF
their children. its food for thought as
TO how long they would neglect their
parental duties.
1t has been suggested that a cur
few be placed on youngsters below
the age Of Is. This might not be the
solution needed: however, it would
get majority Of youths off of the
street At 4 respectable hour.
Since law enforcement agencies
have their hands tied in dealing with
