2 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. Spain’s Greatest Need. Mr. H. P. Olivia, of Barcelona. Spain, -spends his winters at Aiken. S. C.

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.

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.

MACON NEWS FRIDAY KVKrorfG, OCTOBER 7 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. A Narrow Encnpe.
