There are no physical difficulties in the way of carrying out such a scheme, it is asserted by those who have been through the countries that would have to be traversed.

Muskegon, Mich., Jan. 15 H,\s the American Indian the right to hunt and fish where game abounds in Michigan without the for. mality of obtaining a State hunting or fishing license? this On question Chief George W. Wheaton, of the Chippewa indians, has taken to tne legal warpath and after being twice arrested for illegal hunting has an- nounced that the rights of his people and of the survivors of three other In- dian tribes who met In council here must be decided in the United States Supreme Court. There has been considerable unrest among the Chippewas since game wardens twice placed their chief under arrest during the deer-hunting season, which has just ended. Both in a jus- tice court and in a circult court Chief Wheaton flatly declined to pay $1 as the fee for a hunting license, which would give him freedom of the vast wilderness left depleted of its forests by the lumberjacks but thick with game. Chief Wheaton is almost seventy- two years old, but is as handy with a rifle and skinning knife as any young buck of his tribe might have been be- fore the coming of tha Jesuit fathers to the depths of the peninsula The chief bases his refusal to abide by State laws upon several treaties be tween the United States and the Chip- pewas. Taking the stand in eircuit court, Chief Wheaton spurned the offer of Prosecutor Broek to buy him a hunting license and dismlss the case “I shall deal with the United States Governmont,” said the Indian, “and not with retain fee your State courts. I stfll my tribal rights and the $1 pays only for the license of a cltizen. I am not a citizen. I am leader of my tribe and we Chippewas have never given up our tribal organ- ization, As long as retain our tribal organization we are not eitizens Even the $1 license is not necessary under our treaty In the court of the rural justice the chief maintained the same stand and was compelled to spend a night in Jail before his lawver could file an appeal. It was this fact which caused serfous mutterings among the mem- bers of the tribe, who were joined by virtually every Ottawa and Wyan- dotte Indian in the State at the sol- emn conclave held at Saginaw, when more than $1000 in small contributions was tossed in a blanket around which the tribal members squatted. This fund was handed over to Chief Wheat- that he might carry the fight to Washington, where the Indlans believe they will recefve a square deal Since then the chief has recetved a deluge of mail from all parts of the State with offers of aid in his fight. “T thank all of these people for their offers,” sald the chief at his modest little home on the edge of the great Muskegon River swamps, “but it is my fight and I feel certaln that in the highest court my people will receive justice. The land along the Muskegon River has never been surveyed and is ‘measured land’ and Government prop- erty.

Can It be that the courts hold the treatles we made as mere ‘seraps of paper’?” In olden times it was customary for an officer to go round ths towns and villages to that the inbabitants had no weapons of war. On one of these tours an officer called at the house of a worthy Scotch couple and put the questions to the old man: “Any weapons of war in house 7 After scratching his head Sandy looked at his better half and said “Deed, aye; pit oot your tongue, guidwife! ™ see this
