The lady is one of his wives and was married to him at Ocean Grove, California, last April, After living together a couple of months, Mrs. Arons, who was Mrs. Edna Kempffer, nee Miss Fisk of Minneapolis, and her mother, who is wealthy, planned a trip io the Orient. Arons re- presenting that he was about to open a sanitarium in California, secured about $1000 frome the mother. Something occurred to delay the trip of the ladies, and Arons, without a word, disap- peared. Hearing nothing from him, suspicion was aroused; but not until a few days ago when the California ladies were in Minne- apolis, did the wife of last spring learn the truth, Stopping at the for Mrs. Arons and was given several letters that were in- tended for she who was Miss Mary MecCurdy of this place who married Arons last August. It was learned that Arons was in custody at Colorado Springs for non payment of his hotel bill and giving worthless checks, and he wrote to the Aitkin wife, who had returned to Minnesota, en- treating her to raise money to get him out of his trouble. She returned to the home of her mother here last week. The California wife, after con- ference with the county attorney of Hennepin county, was advised to commence action in Aitkin county, and that was what brought her here. Sheriff Haugen and a deputy from Min- neapolis accompanied by the California woman and her attor- ney left Minneapolis Sunday morning for Colorado, and if there is no hitch in extradition proceedings they will be back in Aitkin Friday or Saturday and Arons will have to stand trial here.

INDIANS HAVE A GRIEVANCE AGAINST GOVERNMENT. They Have No Legal Claim But Efforts Will Be Made to Haye Them Reimbursed. Major Scott, of the Leech Lake Indian reservation, is on his way to St. Paul where he will meet gate the conditions from the recent high waters and eondition of affairs. This board work and is now in session in S, Paul ready to hear any and all grievances. Major Scott goes to St. Paul in the interest of the Leech Lake Indians. He says that they will suffer more than any one else |along the route of the Mississippi asa result of the high water. The large amount of rice which they have been able to gather every year served admirably the purpose that flour serves the white man. This year as a re- sult of the high water the great rice beds have all been washed little of this substantial food which they usually thrive on. Then there is the hay crop. They have put up but very little hay and they will have to get help from some source in order to keep their stock alive. Major Scott stated also that ing which they think can never be atoned. Their dead which have been given the Indian burial at different points have been washed away and nothing that the white man can do will re- store their feelings. “It is true,” said Major Scott, “that the Indians have no legal claim against the goyernment. When the dams were put in by the government the Indians were paid $150,000, but this money has long since been squandered and they cannot now after all these years be made to feel that they have been paid for these damages which have or which may yet be incurred as a result of high water. I believe the government ought to do something for these people; they, the Indians, should not be made to suffer just because thereisa technicality which serves as al loop hole for the government to| crawl through.
