WILL FIGHT FOR LANDS Indians to Whom Allotments Have Been Made Don’t Want Change. WILL APPEAL TO COURTS IF NECESSARY. I e Indian Bureau Will Make Investi- gation And Act on The Findings. White Earth Inians to whom allotments have been made under Congressman Steenerson’s bill will warmly contest any pro- posed cancellation or readjust- ment. They claim that the allot- ments have been fairly made as between fullbloods and those of mixed breed. The lands are quite valuable and as allotments were made last April many allottees have been making their plans accordingly. The Indians are preparing to take the matter into the United States courts rather than yield up their rights. Acting Com- missioner Laarabee said recently , in an interview: ““We do not anticipate any ser- ious trouble and trust that this matter may be amicably adjust- ed, but when such complaints as have been made about partially and favorism having been shown in making allotments there is nething left for us to do but to in- vestigate, especially in these days of rather questionable transac- tions in many of the depart- ments.” Special Agent Dayis is either at White Earth or enroute there and has been advised to hasten a report. When it reaches Wash ington the department will go over it carefully. ell will be given eyery oppor- tunity to explain and both sides will be heard fully.

STORY SEEMS VERIFIED BY MEMBERS OF CREW. Animal is Quite Domestic and Browses Near Railroad Crew’s Camp. A deer with a cow’s tail is Northern Minnesota’s latest sensation. The animal is not so terrible to look at as was Cass Lake’s great hogag, but it is more real. That it has a cow’s tail there is no doubt, for 45 men in an extra gang working on the new extension of the Duluth, Missabe & Northern road saw the mysterious appendage, and more than once. Some of the more suspicious of thecrew stout- ly maintain that the deer is a close relation of the devil, and i that it also has cow’s horns and cloven hoofs. This latter charge cannot be well denied, for the cloven hoof habit is one that all members of the veusion tribe are guilty of. There is some doubt about the cow’s horns, however. If the deer isa doe it wouldn’t haveany horns at all, and if it werea buck it wouldn’t have cow’s horns, fora cinch. This line of argument was offered to bring the men in question to a reasorable frame of mind, but they gently reminded us that the male members of the cow family sport horns not unlike those oi their gentle better halves. Be! itha.b as it may, the unholy deer is there, and horns or no horns, it has a cow’s ftail, or to follow| the reasoning of the superstitious | ones above quoted, the tall may| be the vertibral extension of a| buck. The conceusus of opinion | among those who saw the strange| animal, is that it has no horns, and, in this event cow’s tail will| come as near hitting it as any- thing else. | Several range people within |the Jast few days have had some- | thing to say of the freak. They| ! say it has been seensomany times |and by s0 many men that there' is no doubting the tail part of the| {story. The animal seems to have | |inberited certain domestic pro- jc livities along with its badge of| i\l\ll zation, for it has a >t,roncr\ hankering for the society of hu- man beings,or else for the eat- ables furnished by human beings. Any way it is neyer'very far from | the camp of the Missabe con- struction gang, and is seen al | most daily, both morning and evening. The tail is easily ob- served for whenever its owner is frightened the appendage is thrown straight up into the air, standing up four feet or more, like a flagpole while the deer bounds away. The men are care- ful to see that no one shoots the animal, for they take a certain pride in it. Attempts are being made to photograph it, and it is even hoped that it may be cap- ured alive. KNIGHTS WOULD PLAY BASE BALL (L1381 TR Pythians Challenge All Sec- ret Orders in The City To a Game.

Manager Barker of the Bemidji base ball team has secured the Superior team fora game next Sunday with the locals. The Superior team is next to the bottom in the Northern league standing, and the Bemidji team, with proper strengthening, will undoubtedly stand a good show of winning in the game Sunday. A number of new men will be added to the Bemidji team to prepare for the contest, and it is expected that an interesting game will be put up. BEST IN HIS EXPERIENCE Prof. C. W. G.
