S cageoaiaoe Bhoe factories of South Africa are Just to make footweax in Chief Justice McCoy of the District Supreme Court dismissed a suit for injunction yesterday by which it was sought to interrupt the use by the Government of the famed Pipestone Quarries, in Minnesota. The injunc- tion had been asked by Raymond T. Bonnin and his wife, Gertrude, for themselves and on behalf of the Yankton Tribe of Sloux Indians, located on the Pipestone Reservation. The suit was against Hubert Work, Becretary of the Interior, and Charles H. Burke, Commissioner of Indian Affairs. iy The quarries in question are saild to have been mentioned in one of Longfellow’s poems, and stones taken from them were used to make the first pipes for smoking tobacco. The petitioners claimed that while Con- gress had authorized the Department of the Interior to negotiate with the Indians for the purchase of a part of the reservation for school and farm purposes, but without resorting to| condemnation or purchase, it was charged the Government erected a school and maintains an experimental farm, psing stones from the quarries in building construction. A treaty of April 19, 1858, was invoked by the plaintiffs, which they claimed con- tained a provision prohibiting the in- dustrialization of the quarries and the adjacent territory. Attorney O. H. Graves in behalf of the Government officials moved the dismissal of the sult, which was granted. _— ALCOHOL RUNNER FREED OF RAMMING CHARGES Canadian Cleared of Attempt to Cripple U. S.
