Jan. 8.—(Spe- cial to the Pioneer.)—Indian Agent John T. Frater has imn- voked the aid of the county attorney of Cass county to stop the practice of certain saloons in Walker from selling liquor to Indian women and school chil dren at the Indian school. Mr. Frater takes the stand that the women are habitual drunkards and the children minors. Pro vided he can find no redress through the county, he will take the matter before government officials. Mr. Frater is acting in his capacity of government agent and guardian of the Chippewa tribe in taking the step he has, and those familiar with con- ditions uphold him in his action. Whole sled loads of Indian child- ren and woman come over from the agency on the least provoca- tion and proceed to indulge in intoxicants in a most disgusting manner. An intoxicated Indian woman represents one of the most degrading spectacles, and while they are not permitted to travel the main thoroughfares, the fact that they are habitual drundards to a large extent is well known. The unlucky child- ren who happen to be with the mother at the time of her de- bauch, often suffer the most extreme hardships, especially during the winter months, The woman, apparently immune to the cold, while in this condition, often remains in the open throughout the night with a pa- poose strapped to her back, the little one suffering from cold and exposure - throughout the night, A majority of these peo- ple have a natural craving for alcoholic beverages and the only way to protect them and their offspring from it is to providea law which places it out of their reach, Locals on page 2.

Washington, Jan. 9.—Reliable infor- mation has been received here of a prospective influx of over 2,000 Japa- nese Into the United States from Mexico. The exact number is given as 2,182, some of whom have arrived and others are expected to arrive at Mazatlan, Mex. They were .given free transportation from Japan and were to be employed in the develop: ment of important interests in Mexico. Those who have arrived have become dissatisfied with their conditions and surroundings and already some have started for the Mexican border. One hundred and eighty-two are en route to El Paso and the remalndeér are ex- pected to make their way to the boun- dry, claiming the United States as their destingtion. The others en route from Japan are expected to fol- low. It they are found mentally and physically sound there {s nothing to prevent them from entering the United States.
