The Four Million Dollar Claim.
Editor Chieftain: In a late
issue of your paper I see you state
that a certain section of the August
treaty gives the chief authority to
employ attorneys to represent the
nation in tbe collection of claims,
which I think is a mistake. Sec.
68 reads thus "Tbe tribe acting
through its principal chief." the
authority is in the tribe or in the
national council representing the
tribe and not in tbe chief. Had
the chief had this authority that
resolution would never have been
introduced in the last nvtional
council asking the secretary, who,
if any was, the recognized attorney
to collect this money, it was only
for the purpose of paving the way
for tbe one that followed in a few
days authorizing the chief to em
ploy attorneys at five per cent
which was promptly sat down on
by the council. The chief well
knew there was no one recognized
by tbe department, he also knew
tbe authority bad to come from
tbe tribe or tbe natiorlal council
tepresenting the tribe, hence tbe
recoluiione; and should Springer,
or anyone else be employed by tbe
cnief, be will have to over ride
any authority given bim by the
late trnaty. Toe national council
took tbe stand that it was foolish
ness and ouly for the purpose of
feathering oui one's nest to
pledge two hundred thousand dol
lars of this uiouey unlesi it be
came actually necessary. There
Hrfioi to Oe attorneys, several of
ibem, representing different in
dividual emigrants, aud it looks
ai Uiougli the money may be ap
propriated by congress at any time
as tbe cotu mittee all recommend
u It not and our commtssiou (if
recogiiis-iO) fails to get it in a final
eeulrmmit, and the government
relu8estopay it, then it will be
tune eiiougn to sue for it, as we nave
two years from the passage of tbe
last August treaty to enter euit.

uuts When you hop out of the stove you will find
my stockings hanging behind it. I will put out all

for anything more this time I am a little girl, eight
