BHOK! HWORO
TO MIN-JEN-HH,
How the Trouble of Leech
Lake Was Started Among
the Indians.
ARRESTED BI THE MARSHAL
As a Witness and Promised Trans
portation to His Home, but
He Had to Walk.
By Associated Press.
Chicago, Oct. 7.—The Tribune says:
“Some facts in connection with t'he pres
<nt trouble with the 'Pillager Indians at
Leech Lake, not generally known, are as
follows:
“A year ago a white man was arrested
ter selling liquor to the Indians. The
United States marshals arrested Min-Jeu-
Dah, a Pillager Indian of Bear Island, who
s. me years ago gained considerable no
toriety by killing Chief Hole-in-the-Day,
and is reported to be a bad and insolent
Indian, having killed seven of his own
tribe, and is remarkable for his cunning
and influence with the balance of his
tri'be.
He 3 a large and powerfully buiit In
dian of the dark and greasy type. He
still wears the old blanket of his fore
fathers and was never known to live in
any ibode but a tepee or small tent of
birch bark.
The United States marshal arrested him
as a witness against the white man for
selling whiskey to them and took him to
Duluth where the trial was held, promis
ing tiansportaion from Walker to Duluth
and return with all expenses paid.
When the trial was over Min-Jen-Dah,
it is said, aad to walk from Walker to Du
luth, a distance of 190 miles without
money or food and was arrested at Walker
in a most deplorable condition. He swore
before his tribe that he would never recog
nize a warrant of any kind served by
United States marshals.
Wbe n the fall term of court sat at Du
luth Min-Jen-Dah and other bucks of his
trib; were wanted at Duluth to give tes
timony in another case similar to that of
last fall. The marshals came, arrested the
Indians and put them in jail.
■ During their incarceration there was
intense excitement among the Indians.
Finally twenty of the bucks during the
night cf Sept. 3 made a raid on the jail
at Walker. Minn., and released the two
1 r’ -oners.
The Indians then made their escape to
B, ir Island and have been ever since
agitating the Indians to rebellion and re
sistance of the government officials, and
this counled with the alleged pine timber
injustices has resulted in the present
trouble.
INDIANS AT OMAHA.
Red Men at Exposition :Excited Over War
News.
By Associated Press.
Omana, Neb., Oct. 7. —The six ihundred
red men of the Indian congress, now as
sembled in Omaha, are much interested in
the reports of the fight-ing among the
Minnesota Indians. Some of the braves at
the f-l'pfrsrtion gro'urids af“fe considerably'
excited over the situation. The manner
•in which the news was circulated among
the Indians -is a mystery, even to Capt.
Mercer, who has charge cf the camp.
Early in the morning a number of the
chiefs came to Mercer and asked him w’hat
the heap big fight up north means. They
listened in silence to the statements of the
captain. There are fifteen Chippewas in
■camp. They seemed greatly interested and
talked among themselves in an excited
manner. Their chief, Owl-Face-Man, was
asked by Captain Mercer what he thought
of the fighting. He grunted with much
energy and said:
“White man much mean, but Injuns
mean. tco. cause not treated right. Will
be heap big fight before war over, cause
Injuns have heap good guns.”
Owl-Face-Man is not a head chief, but
h ’ is in charge cf his men here and seems
intelligent. He said his men had heard of
•the fighting from a half-breed who read it
in the morning papers. Other Indians on
the grounds, especially those Apaches and
■Sioux from the West, who know some
thing of the fighting o.ualities and num
bers of the United States troops, ridicule
t'he Chippewas for going to war.
Old Geronimo, the famous Apache chief,
who bas been a prisoner since being cap
tured by Gen Crook after his desperate
fighting in the Southwest, was an inter
ested listener to whaf Capt. Mercer said.
Win n he found that the fighting was eon
fin, d to a small tribe away north cf any
territory he knew of he had nothing more
to ‘'37.
When asked by Capt. Mercer if he would
like to fight, tbe old warrior’s eyes flashed
but he merely grunted with disgust.

DEEP WATER
On the Yukon is a Myth, Savs
Surveying Partv.
By Associated Press.
Seattle, Oct. 7—The United States sur
veying party in command of Captain Pratt,
which has been surveying the mouth of the
Yukon, has returned to St. Michaels.
Captain Pratt says the supposed deep
water channel at the mouth of the Yukon
for large ships is a myth, although the
party surveyed an eight foot course
through the Kisslinek channel.
Only two government survey parties re
main to be heard from, namely, the El
dridge and the Spurr parties. Both went
in byway of Cook's inlet and up the
Sushitna river. Spurr's party branching
off and going over Kuskokwit. These two
parties are expected back within a short
time.
There were no signs of ice in the Yukon
up to September 2. The Indians predicted
a late fall and it is believed that all the
up river beats above here will reach their
destinations.
The excitement over the reported riches
of Golovin Bay continues and people are
leaving St. Michaels every day in small
boats.

BIG SWINDLE
IS UNEARTHED
Discretionary Pools and All
Sorts of Dodges to Catch
the Unwary.
CIRCULARS TO FARMERS.
Any Amount of Money from Fifty
Up Taken—Branches
in the Big Cities,
By Associated Press.
New York, Oct. 7. —The developments in
th* case of the. Manhattan Reality Com
pany- show that the operations of the men
behind that concern had extended all over
the country with this city as a base.
The police say that at times the pro
moters would engage in legitimate busi
ness and thus acquire a standing. In the
Center street court Charles Spencer, Jo
seph Hart, Alexander McCauley and Ste
phen C. Meen were remanded for examina
tion. Later Meen was brought out and
field in $1,500 bail.
At the hearing enough was developed to
show the interesting methods of the Man
hattan Reality Company. The company
had handsome offices in No. 11, Broadway.
It also had places under other names at
Twenty-sixth street and Broadway, in the
St. James building, and at No. 19 Fulton
street.
The shrewd operator? also had branches
in Chicago and St. Louis, San Francisco
and other western cities and any one ask
ing for references in any part of the coun
try was referred readily to a concern that
would emphatically endorse their integrity
—by wire or telephone.
The old discretionary pool game was a
strong favorite and wonderfully successful.
The company sent out circulars, principal
ly to farmers, stating that it had an in
side tip on the grain market and would
take customers on the deal for deposits
anywhere from 'sso to SI,OOO. Another plan
was to advertise in partners in a lucrative
business. Cf course money was needed and
once that was received in most eases the
lucrative business would disappear.
